How can I can tell the difference between a suggested edit and a personal edit in the activity tab? Where are listed the older not-pending suggested edits?

@Knu: The personal edits are not listed in the "Editor Stats" list. You'll only find those in your activity. As for how to tell the difference, well, they won't have a clickable "suggested" link.

You don't get it I mean in the activity tab itself.

@Knu: Yeah, you can't. You're not really intended to browse this type of information, so the UI isn't terribly intuitive or full-featured. I've provided the best workaround that there is. Honestly, you shouldn't need to go look at your previously suggested edits. If you're unsure about them, then don't suggest them in the first place. That you aren't sure how close you are to earning badges is completely by-design, and unlikely to change.

I am not really interested in that particular badge (sorry) but Id like to have an overall idea of my edit suggestion stats (and check the rejected ones) that's all

@Knu: The page I've linked to gives you an overall idea of your edit suggestion stats. That's exactly what it's for. It gives the number of all the edits you've had approved and all of them that you've had rejected. I'm sorry it's not easier to get to, but it is there and you can find it if you want to. (Not a problem that you're uninterested in the badge. It's just that there are lot of people that are.)

Is it even pullable using data? //off topic// Why this edit was rejected? (his code can't work without my modification)

@Knu: No idea, I don't use the data dump. That edit was rejected because it's generally discouraged to change the code posted by other users. If you know a reason it needs to be modified to work in IE, you should leave them a comment explaining your concerns. If they agree with you, then they can make the edit themselves. Or they can ask you to edit and approve it since it's their own answer. As a matter of general policy, unless I see a comment thread where the original poster approves it, I will reject edits made to code. That's a much bigger deal than grammar/spelling fixes or retags.

Either this answer has been so overcome by events of the past six years that it is now (mostly?) wrong, or it is so unclear that I can’t figure out how to get it to work.   The fact that all the links are broken suggests that the answer is broken.   Can somebody fix this, one way or the other?
