In review I came across a suggested edit for this question:

The proposed edit ain't bad, just a tiny bit of grammar and wording cleanup. It's not a totally trivial edit, but not a major copy-edit job either. (As I said, mediocre.)

I would have clicked "approve" except I really don't want to encourage the laziness and sloppiness of including the edit message, "Improve blah blah."

I found this related meta post:

But, I haven't seen a post that discussed acceptable edits with a sloppy or uninformative edit message.

What are the options? What do you think should be done in such a case?
