Question: I edited [this question](https://superuser.com/questions/1418589/how-to-store-result-of-commands-to-a-variable-in-batch-file) to remove two misleading tags - the question has nothing to do with either PowerShell or bash. It was rejected twice, once by a subsequent edit by a high-rep user, and once by PeterH, giving a reason of "This edit does not make the post even a little bit easier to read, easier to find, more accurate or more accessible. Changes are either completely superfluous or actively harm readability."

I disagree that the tag removal was superfluous or harmful; if someone were to search for questions tagged bash or powershell, this question would be irrelevant to them, and really should not come up in such a search.

If this rejection was in fact reasonable and valid, may I have an explanation of the policy regarding such tag edits?

Answer: 
This is the suggested edit in question: <https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/849224>

I see that [PeterH](https://meta.superuser.com/users/774984/peterh) voted to reject the edit, but [one minute later](https://superuser.com/posts/1418589/timeline#history_79030d35-2746-4db6-86c8-7d2e6a7db71e), [a subsequent edit](https://superuser.com/posts/1418589/revisions) caused your edit to be auto-rejected. Nobody else had a chance to review your edit before it was superseded.

If I could restate the reason the edit was rejected, I would say this:

> 
> This edit conflicted with a subsequent edit.
> 
> 
> 

The edit still would have been rejected for that reason regardless of PeterH's vote.
To state the obvious, yes, your edit was OK in itself and normally shouldn't have been rejected.

However, there's one thing you should consider when editing - "is the question / answer worth the effort?" Editing a poor question is a complete waste of both your time and the time of reviewers, because when such post is deleted, your edit will be gone (and so will be the 2 rep points you earn). This would not be case here because duplicate questions normally don't get deleted, but in general you shouldn't be very surprised if your otherwise reasonable edit to an off-topic or nonsensical question is rejected.
