Stack Exchange Peer "Review"

1 pointsby narzacalmost 12 years ago
I am asking this here, since I trust the HN community. Ok story goes like that, I have just signed up to stackexchange.com, and fixed a solution, it was mathematically incomplete, I have also improved the LaTeX style. To be exact this one http:&#x2F;&#x2F;math.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;449672&#x2F;prove-that-n-2n-for-all-natural-numbers-n Instead of writing a new answer, I have improved&quot;user71352&quot;&#x27; s answer, by thinking it will be better for the community. To give you an idea it was about 5 lines and incomplete(if you give it to my mathematics professor back in university, you would get 10 out of 25), after my improvements it is 13 lines, expressive and a complete proof.<p>The site told me that it is going to be peer reviewed before anyone sees my edit. I can understand that, cause I have just signed up.<p>Although what I write is there, only differences after &quot;peer-review&quot; are<p>&quot;Step 1.)&quot; changed into &quot;Step1.:&quot; &quot;Step 2.)&quot; changed into &quot;Step2.:&quot; &quot;Step 3.)&quot; changed into &quot;Step3.:&quot;<p>and It writes &quot;Edited by m0nhawk 4 hours ago&quot;, not me. It was not there before.<p>I don&#x27;t know how this site works exactly, I don&#x27;t blame a particular person. Yet the question arises:<p>What is wrong with this site? What is peer review? I don&#x27;t care about &quot;reputation&quot; but I don&#x27;t like someone or some site take me for a fool.
