No, it is perfectly legal, and acceptable, mainly because he has earned enough reputation points to be allowed to do it.

It is only correct if below the original Text / Q
the button "Have a Question or Comment?" is used.
Then a comment like "We do not do your homework" is ok.
But changing the original Text / Q is misleading (and could possibly be a bad reputation for CP).

Nope, redacting original question while adding personal comments is not ok. At least for me..
If one is not happy whith the question one can report it or add a comment. But rephrasing with personal comments is not ok!

Very bad argument...

I think he understood it wrong and meant just the privilege to edit (what actually is a reputation level).
Not to edit as you complained about.

IIRC, Chris has previously asked us not to edit QA questions in this way. I think it was back when SAK used to add "no effort" labels to every lazy homework question.

I tend to confine my edits to formatting, and occasional spelling correctionsd if the meaning is unclear.

I disagree with classifying it as "not a question". It may not be a good or worthwhile question in the larger sense, but keeping it open means the OP may receive some guidance. Closing the question doesn't help the OP.
The parts I removed were just random keypresses to fill up the minimum required space. I think I have mentioned before my opinion that having a minimum required number of characters is a bad idea.

However, I think you should refrain from adding your personal comments to the original text of questions.
You can write a comment on the question, but you should not edit the question.
Editing the question to make it clearer is of course ok, but that you did not in that case.

I'll bear that in mind in future. Most often it isn't a concern, there's usually more to work with.
Were you able to see the original?

Yes - the comment needs a word-break:break-work CSS rule to allow it to break in the middle of a "word".

I've edited the comment to wrap the massive lines in <pre> tags, so it should look better now.

Thanks for the heads-up Richard, I wanted to edit it but decided to check first.

Did you really write this article?
|
|
|
|

It might be a good idea to ask for confirmation on the other side, before activelly listing "co-authors"

Was that article under review / moderation? We shouldn't be listed until we've confirmed we're authors.

In moderation, and flagged as spam. I think both article and perpetrator have now been removed.
|
|
|
|

OK, that makes sense.
But clearly we should make it clearer which authors are confirmed and which are not

Just wondering if there should be a minimum required repo points before you can write an article.
Could limit the spamming.

Not sure that would work: you can't post anything until you have sufficient reputation, which you gain by posting things and having them up-voted.

Is there a markdown encoding for Sub/Super scripts? The html tags <sub> and <sup> work fine, but I'm sure I saw somewhere was using ^1^ for 1. Even if there's not something like that available, can a note be added to the Markdown tips on sub/super script, for the next time I can't remember them?
