Pre-2000 reputation - Every time I edited a post I needed to await attention before it could be approved. I 100% agree with this rule.

Post-2000 reputation - I can edit any post without waiting for approval.

I thought that when I hit the 2000 reputation line, I was also able to accept edits from others (with less than 2000 reputation). If I can, I can't find out how to do this.

If I actually can't, wouldn't it make sense to implement it? Seeing as I can already edit anything, Super User trusts me enough with the content of user's posts and answers. So surely reviewing other's edits would fall under the exact same category?

Am I just whistling Dixie?

You can see and approve pending edits from others when you come across a post that has one suggested.

If you want to see the queue of pending suggested edits, you'll need to break through the 5000 reputation ceiling.

Why the distinction between falling upon a post with a pending edit and viewing the queue? – MaxMackie Jul 7 '11 at 13:37
Subjecting yourself to the edit queue is considered a privilege one must reach. More and more of the janitorial work requires a higher level of trust. Or something like that. @max – random♦ Jul 7 '11 at 13:50
I guess I can kind of see where you're coming from. I was just confused by the distinction when the actual ability of editing doesn't change. Thanks for clearing that up. – MaxMackie Jul 7 '11 at 13:58
