Editing Answers Socratic Meta Contributing to Socratic Editing Answers Questions When should I edit someone else's answer? I seem to be seeing more examples like the following: What is the rule in dividing positive and negative rational numbers? Abuse or spam but following the link only leads to a reasonable question and a reasonable response. Am I missing something? Question #373ba Lets say one answer i saw is copied and pasted. how do i improve it? Is it okay to completely erase what the original author has written? Is there a way to undo changes to your answer? I've had on an occasion someone adding several trivial/self-evident intermediate steps to an answer which make it more long winded and harder to follow. Would be good to have the option to undo such a change. How do I get back to a question that I now wish to edit? What are recent collaborators? What happened to "suggest improvements" on answers? Is there a way to edit a featured answer? Why shouldn't we get angry or annoyed when someone edits our answer? Would Socratic benefit from a “suggest edit” feature for answers? Question #99733 Why do some answers have several edits by the same person? Is there some appropriate action when you notice that someone has "updated" an answer by completely replacing it?
