Feel free to add an edit request to Talk:Anthony Quinlan, following the instructions on this page. NotAGenious (talk) 07:35, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Sometimes an edit request is closed with {{subst:ESp|?}}, for the reason that the request is slightly ambiguous, with no further action taken by the responding editor. In some such cases, the suggested material is non-controversial, would improve the article, is reliably sourced, etc. But, it is, again, slightly ambiguous. I'm not a native speaker of English, but I suggest adding to WP:ERREQ something along the lines of: "If you decide to reject a request, that in essence holds merit, simply because it lacks Mona Lisa level perfection, nothing is stopping you from improving the relevant article yourself based on feedback contained within the request." I can give two examples. Although I fear these will be used primarily to point out why requests get rejected or have been taken at heart after all or are exceptions, instead of to better understand what I am suggesting here. Regardless, 1. a dead link, and 2. a production company. I'm not the kind of editor to keep logs of where I've seen what, so you'd have to take my word for it, but I've seen this happen many times. So, my suggestion is to have the information page suggest one additional step if the decision is to reject a request: can I, as the responding editor, still take some kind of action to improve Wikipedia based on this feedback. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 07:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Another, sort of, example here. The responding editor reacts, "In any event, this request is not specific enough - you need to specify the exact wikitext you want to be added and where it should be added - just "please add content about bar" is not enough." --62.166.252.25 (talk) 15:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

"can I, as the responding editor, still take some kind of action to improve Wikipedia based on this feedback." Yes. Any editor may edit any Wikipedia page (unless it's protected). If another editor objects then the edit should (no guarantee that it will) generate discussion of the proposal. - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 16:35, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: no reason given for the proposed change. M.Bitton (talk) 13:53, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

include that you can change parameter from yes to no for declined requests too similar to further info needed section 173.72.3.91 (talk) 20:39, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but I think what you're proposing is substantially the same as the current wording of the section. Liu1126 (talk) 03:12, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
