Feb 21, 2015 at 12:17 comment added Danu I do think that it's of critical importance here to make it clear why the edits were made (mostly by me), as it makes this case a very special one. There was a (very) good answer in the comments by someone who'd clearly written it up before it was closed, and the main point was to improve the clarity of the question to allow the good answer to survive as a proper answer. I think that the fact that you completely left this out of your post here represents a significant misrepresentation of the situation at hand.

Feb 20, 2015 at 20:49 comment added Kyle Kanos @JimdalftheGrey: Well if the consensus is that the policy of the site is that such radical changes are accepted, then nothing needs to occur. I put the follow up in the case that the community agrees it's wrong.
Feb 20, 2015 at 20:46 comment added Jim So, it's pretty clear this is leaning to one side of the "What should we do" question (so much for neutral wording). But whatever. At least maybe now we can get a general consensus on how much editing is acceptable from non-OP users on closed questions
