I edited this answer: https://superuser.com/a/435420/135459 but didn't realize I was logged out. Can / should I do anything to mark that edit as mine? Since it was entered as an unregistered user, it's under review at the moment.

  • Just wait for it to be approved (or rejected)

  • I realized after a moment that it would have been under review anyway because I only have 124 rep on this site right now. My actual concern, though, isn't about it getting reviewed, but rather being blamed/credited for the edit.

  • I wouldn't worry about it for just one edit :)

  • Are the contents of that declined edit available to those with more reputation or to a moderator?

  • Unless you have a link to the edit proposal in the queue, no, there isn't. Does it matter though?

  • I think it was a good edit, turning a link-only answer into a real answer and I'd like to ask another meta question "Why was my edit declined?", but having the original text would be helpful in writing such a question.

    @TecBrat Mods can certainly see the declined edit. Here is a link. superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/677760

    Given the OP hasn't been around for 5 years and the edit appears to reasonably fix a link only answer I have approved the edit.

  • @TecBrat I can tell you the reason it was declined multiple people thought you were changing what the author of the answer said.

    It might have helped if you had made it clear that the text you were adding to the answer came from the link that was already in the answer. But I suspect that some people are biased against anonymous edits, and hold them to a higher level of scrutiny. Aug 8, 2017 at 0:58
