> **Update, April 2014:** I fully support <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/120624/decision-on-rejected-edits-should-be-displayed-as-a-notification-to-the-editor#137334">Shog9's proposal</a> of adding the message where it belongs—in the actual editing form. This is less intrusive than displaying it as a notification, but it serves the same purpose. Can has? ---------- ## Background When you suggest an edit, the outcome of whether it was approved or rejected is buried deep within your profile. You have to navigate to *Profile » Activity » Suggestions* to find a list of your recent edits, but even those do not say anything about the outcome:  waffles♦ introduced this [to "facilitate learning"][1], but what can I learn from this page? I have to manually click through the edits to see whether they were rejected or not. This is time-consuming or inefficient at best. There's also **no learning involved** at all, since there is **no active feedback**. ---------- ## Feature request #1 If an edit was rejected, there should be a notification message displayed, linking to the page of the suggested edit (which states the reject reason). ![][2] This kind of feedback would improve the editing behavior, since otherwise, inappropriate suggestions might just continue. ---------- ## Feature request #2 If the above is too intrusive, the messages in the profile's *Activity* section should be clearer, for example like this (compare against the first screenshot in the question): >  This is similar to: [Improving how suggested edits are displayed in your activity history](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/122581/improving-how-suggested-edits-are-displayed-in-your-activity-history) ---------- Here's some more explanation: Let's assume the case of a user suggesting lots of edits that are in some way harmful. Maybe they were too minor, like only changing keyboard shortcuts to use `kbd` markup instead of boldface. Yes, we've already had this on Super User. Since it only takes one user to approve / reject there, some of these edits might even have been wrongfully accepted, others rejected. While this is a problem of its own, the user *suggesting* these edits will have a hard time even getting any kind of feedback. They would *never* see the rejection messages because they're buried somewhere, unless they critically checked each suggestion in their profile. I doubt anybody would do this. Even more so, they might only look at their steadily climbing reputation, not really noticing a rejected edit. Another case is users *learning* how to edit. How are we [going to guide them][3] if they're not told what they did wrong? They will just continue suggesting edits until somebody actually pings them in chat or comments somewhere. Here's an [example](http://meta.raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/161/too-many-of-your-edits-were-rejected-try-again-in-7-days-what-did-i-do-wrong) of a user who was completely unaware that he could see feedback somewhere in a dark corner of his profile, until he was banned from editing because he'd repeated the same mistake over and over.
