People with the right to review suggested edits are also people with the right to edit, so the re-edit will definitely be not really the same. For closing/re-opening, previous votes do have an influence (even though they shouldn't ! in theory you should know what you will vote before you click the appropriate button, and not change your mind according to what is shown then), so the problem is yet different. | |
| Sep 4, 2015 at 16:28 | comment | added | wvxvw | Well, the problem with this sort of activity is that the first person gets to set the overall trend. I.e. the opinion of the first voter / editor sets a chain reaction, where others hesitate less to do the same "inspired" by example. Also, obviously it is important who made the edit, so re-doing someone else's edit isn't really going to work. Voting for reopening usually collects less votes simply because there's no novelty involved, and people are typically reluctant to change their opinions, even if they know they were wrong. | |
