<p>I know this <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/85758/instant-approval-of-revisions-for-users-with-edit-privileges">has been asked before</a>, but obviously there's still something that keeps this from being implemented/fixed.</p>

<p>I am a pretty active editor on SO. In fact, I do edit a lot more questions than I answer. I have the Strunk-and-White badge, and if that one would stack I would have it several times by now. I am pretty high-rep — in short: I know what I'm doing.</p>

<p>Still.</p>

<p>When a question has been edited by someone whose edit needs approval, I cannot "instant-approve" his edit. <em>Why on earth</em> should another user be needed to approve my decision?</p>

<p>I know, if I go to "improve", I can <em>overwrite</em> the suggested edit. But that's not what I want. especially if the edit is good, why should I take credit for it?</p>

<p>If I click "approve" instead, the system doesn't even let me "improve" the edit anymore. Seriously, this makes no sense <em>at all</em>.</p>
