Situation
I recently spotted this question: Police forcing me to install Jingwang spyware app, how to minimize impact?
In this post there is a good technical question, but it also provides situational context based on sources. However, and it is not clear to me whether this is intentional or not, the situation description in the post is not consistent with the sources. A broader research suggests that the sources are correct.
Without claiming that the description in the question is untrue, at the very least the question could use some added detail to represent the situation more accurately.
I tried editing the post, unfortunately this got rejected, by a third person: https://security.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/125580
The reason for rejection is that it goes against the askers intent.
Question
Assuming that:
- My edit is not disputed to improve the description
- Any possible deviation from the authors intent would not result in the author still getting his technical question properly answered
Would it now be the right decision to edit the question?
