Today when I go to the review page, I get:

You reviewed https://stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/14843211 incorrectly. Please pay more attention to each review in future Come back in 19 hours to continue reviewing.

When I follow that link, 1) I did that review 7 days ago, and 2) I approved it which is what it ended up being.

What am I missing?

    You should have rejected it, for exactly the reason that the person who did reject it rejected it.

    That tag smells. Probably should be burninated.

    +1 because I remember when someone else asked about this same edit review last week, and "OK. Live and learn." is a much better response than the other person gave.

  • This is not just a duplicate, it's for the exact same review as the duplicate.

Yes, the suggested edit ended up being approved by the reviewers... and it was rolled back by a moderator, who, in the process, manually banned you and probably all of the reviewers that approved the edit suggestion.

The reason is that the text being added to the wiki excerpt was plagiarized from an external source. One of the reviewers correctly rejected the edit with this exact reason. Read more at Let's stop tag wiki plagiarism and Stopping tag wiki plagiarism, Part II: Taking Action to see why this is something the community wants to stop.

You can find some guidance on how to write good wiki excerpt here or here. In short, you should try to explain when the tag should be used and what kind of questions should have it.
