And we need to be careful not to discourage editing - I think we need more editors rather than less, to maintain a reasonable level of content quality. | |

Copy edited. Expansion.

| May 28, 2014 at 19:43 | comment | added | nikib3ro | @Cupcake Yeah, let's get into licenses, nitpicking and formalism when we are dealing with issue tied to common sense. I was not rejecting right of anyone to edit - I was merely saying: respect time someone invested in writing whatever he wrote. And if your edit isn't really that important (and edit we are talking about here is really not important) - then let him have his way. If you really must do, then flag and notify moderators on your way out of question you tried to edit. | |
| May 28, 2014 at 19:39 | comment | added | Servy | @Cupcake That's incorrect. The site doesn't own the content. The person that posted the content does own the content. SE has merely been licensed the right to use that content, specifically the right to distribute/redistribute the content, allow modifications to the content as long as there is attribution. Having those rights is quite far from having ownership. | |

| May 28, 2014 at 19:30 | comment | added | user456814 | No one owns the content that they post to Stack Overflow, the community owns it, and anyone may make edits (or suggest edits) if it improves the post. Everything on Stack Exchange is licensed under Creative Commons ShareAlike 3.0. Also, the formatting change wasn't just about tabs, it was formatting the code into code blocks. | |
