| Nov 5, 2012 at 0:01 | comment | added | Dan Dascalescu | I would also like to be notified when my edits are rejected. Make it an option then, if you think it's rude or whatever to notify everyone. | |
| Aug 14, 2012 at 12:47 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Jeff right now people wonder where their edit disappeared - I am sure it happens to great many they just don't bother to go asking in Meta. So we do need some mechanism to tell the user what happened to his/her suggested edit, don't you think? | |
| Jul 25, 2012 at 11:26 | comment | added | Arjan | As for "in your face": another oblivious user, who's feeling a bit embarrassed not knowing they were doing things wrong, and then being explained in public when asking about the disabled edit link... | |
| Jun 24, 2012 at 10:35 | comment | added | Daniel Beck | This user is a perfect example for someone who wants to be told what the review results of his edits are. He was banned from editing for a week because he never noticed his edits got rejected, so he had no (accessible) way to actually learn what a good edit is. | |
| Jun 17, 2012 at 21:47 | comment | added | jmort253 | @Raphael - We need a setting called "Enable 'You suck' notifications" for the people who culturally expect to see this type of thing ;) All joking aside, see my answer here, which demonstrates how to achieve this feature without the "in your face" notifications. Will this be a good start to helping reduce the number of rejections while still being culturally sensitive to those who don't expect criticism broadcasts? | |
| Jun 17, 2012 at 10:17 | comment | added | Raphael | Jeff, that is a cultural thing. In some countries/cultures, it is expected you say your critique straight up, not hide it behind pleasantries. In this instance, I think the need for "training" outweighs the need for "don't tell me I'm doing something wrong". | |
| Jun 10, 2012 at 12:16 | comment | added | Daniel Beck | No need for the banner anymore. The new notifications are much less obtrusive. Besides, it's not much different from post edit announcements: "What you posted was wrong or incomplete. Fortunately, someone else fixed it for you." | |
| May 29, 2012 at 16:07 | comment | added | daviesgeek | I disagree. If you have a rejected edit, you need to know that it has been rejected so that in the future, you can make better edits. | |
| May 29, 2012 at 12:04 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | Maybe show the result of the last 10 edit suggestors a user made when they go to do their next edit suggestor? | |

| May 4, 2012 at 18:52 | comment | added | Pops | Okay, for a serious comment: I can get on board with the philosophy here, but the problem is that the current system doesn't match the "quietly, via a backchannel" setup. Edit suggestors aren't being notified at all of what happens to their work, and it's not even easy for the ones who have initiative to hunt that information down. | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 21:06 | comment | added | slhck | I can understand that notifications shouldn't be too much "in your face", but maybe edit decisions could be summarized, like the "You have X favorite changes" notification bar, and the tab in the profile could say "accepted" or "rejected" instead of "suggested", including the blue highlighted number in the tab name. | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 20:00 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @slhck I am not objecting to the desire to educate, merely the mechanism that was proposed. | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 19:36 | comment | added | Pops | Look, man, you're going to be gone in a week anyways. Now is the perfect time to pull this sort of stunt. Next week, waffles can just shrug and say "Look, that was all Jeff, and we don't know where he put the keys, so we can't undo it right now... we'll get back to you." | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 19:36 | comment | added | Tim Stone | Exactly. People who care have access to the information to learn from the outcome of their suggestions (though maybe that should be made more readily available), but shoving it in their face at every turn will just punish them for (usually) trying to help. Not to mention the fact that any proposal that causes that annoying bar to appear more often is inherently evil. | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 18:32 | comment | added | Some Helpful Commenter | @slhck While most edits are approved I think 29,000 rejected edits is still a lot | |
| Feb 24, 2012 at 18:17 | comment | added | slhck | Given that how few rejected edits there are, would this really be a problem? Isn't downvoting and closing the same? How else can users know they did something wrong? | |
