You can see a list of suggested edit on your stuff on data.se:

http://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/s/1928/suggested-edits-on-my-stuff in particular there are 2 rejections on TeX you may want to look at.

This is quite enlightening, as a top user on TeX you dealt with 9 pages of suggested edits, yet only a fraction of affected you, and a much smaller fraction were rejected. (7 approved / 2 rejected)


As it stands, normal edits do not trigger any kind of notification. Not only that, there is no UI anywhere for this and you are not notified when people are messing with your stuff.

You can see the list here: http://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/s/1929/edits-on-my-posts

In particular looking at your TeX example, there are many more case where people have messed with your stuff that you are oblivious to: http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/q/114393/edits-on-my-posts?UserId=2975 (62 changes)


Even at very high rep, the number of times that people edit your stuff is incredibly rare. Personally I think we should:

  1. Add inbox notifications when people edit my stuff.
  2. Have a central list that shows all edits and rejected suggested edits.

Due to suggested edits being so rare, odds are you will not even be on the site when this happens. The result is what you are much more interested in. I support the idea of "edit notifications" but do not support adding notification for only a fraction of the time stuff is edited. It seems to arbitrary.


I support feature requests for both 1) and 2) above, but am rejecting this.
