I've noticed this on questions I've asked before. Someone makes a minor edit to put their name on my question, I'll make a minor edit to take it off, and either they will add themselves back on or someone else will take their spot. I've given up at this point.
- bonobo 14y agoI wouldn't give much importance to it, the only problem I see is the amount of visibility this kind of contribution have. I think it should instead be only a small footnote. It's an edit, we can't assume the editor contributed significantly to the answer. If the editor had a better answer, he should post an answer himself; if he had a minor but still significant contribution, he should post a comment complementing it. An edit is IMO the lesser of the contributions, only grammatical and spelling corrections, and a name attached to an answer as an edit means barely nothing to me.
