Oct 2, 2014 at 15:21 comment added user40980 Please consider when you make edits if it can be answered authoritatively, or if it is a question that is now a poll of opinions or if the question still lacks enough information for it to be answered properly. When making the edit, think about all the ways you could answer it. If it is more than two, look at how it can be brought down to just one or two. If you can't think of any answers, you may not know enough about the subject matter to edit the question into a good one. If you can think of three or more, it is likely still not a good question.
Oct 2, 2014 at 15:19 comment added user40980 It was reviewed - programmers.stackexchange.com/review/reopen/78542 . The thing is that if you know that it can't be reopened with the edit, you need to look into why. Just tossing it back into the reopen queue isn't enough. We would like to have a good open question that can get good answers, but it needs to be a good question first. If people don't think the question is salvageable often a speedy delete is in order. Changing the question from one wording of too broad to another wording of too broad just makes it take longer for the roomba to delete it.

Oct 2, 2014 at 15:07 comment added Tom Au I "fixed" the question to the best of my ability. If that process drew increased scrutiny and early deletion, maybe that was the best outcome. When I fix questions (more successfully on my other, better sites), I try to give them their "best shot." That doesn't mean automatic reopening, only an early "review."
