| Oct 8, 2013 at 21:25 | comment | added | Kevin Fegan | @Ramhound - "...comment which increases the the version count..." I'm talking about adding a comment to the answer, not a comment within the answer. If I could I would just "Reject" the edits which would set the edits-count from 7, back to 5, but I guess that's not possible. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that if I do a rollback to edit-5, the rollback will show as edit-8. If that's the case, I'd rather wait until I have something useful to add and do it all at once. I'm really not sure what I want to do or what I should do. I'm open to suggestions. | |
| Oct 8, 2013 at 11:38 | comment | added | Ramhound | @KevinFegan - So you will make a comment which increases the the version count instead of removing the comment by dan which is an invalid edit. I agree with daniel in that neither edit should have been approved. If it was just a linkification of text I would agree with the edit but it wasn't. | |
| Oct 8, 2013 at 6:40 | comment | added | Kevin Fegan | Although I appreciate and understand it's apparently the only way, but I don't particularly like the option of simply doing a rollback, as that just unnecessarily increases the edit count. For now, I'll add a comment, and I'll reserve removing the edit until I have additional information to add to the answer. Also thanks for your clarification about the review process. | |
| Oct 8, 2013 at 6:30 | comment | added | Kevin Fegan | The biggest reason is, the question asker mentions that link, but the information they are looking for is not on that page (as I said, minimal and incomplete). So to include it in an answer is incorrect as the link is known to not contain enough information to answer the question that was asked. Further, including it may lead other answer seekers to follow that link (over the other links) to find a page that does not help. Just to clarify, the info at the page in question amounts to about 7 pages out of the 35 pages in the PDF doc I linked to. | |
| Oct 8, 2013 at 6:26 | comment | added | Sathyajith Bhat Mod | @KevinFegan when you're reviewing, you're reviewing only the answer, the question is not shown for context. So having a link added on to the answer isn't inherently bad, especially when none of your existing answer is being changed. Like I said, if you don't like it, you can always chose to roll it back. | |

| Oct 8, 2013 at 6:10 | comment | added | Kevin Fegan | The linked webpage is very old, and has only been changed to reflect that it applies to more recent operating systems. It is incomplete and only provides a minimal command line reference. It is missing a lot of information, and has less information than typing "Robocopy /help" at a command prompt. There is no documentation explaining any of the commands or how they interact with one another. The other documents linked in my answer are "older", but are still fully valid and are only missing info about a couple newer command line options that can be seen with "Robocopy /help". | |
