I understand what the error message means.

But when I looked at my suggested edit and the final version, I found that they match, however, the edit credits went to the original post creator.

Why was my edit rejected?

Update

There is one difference between the two edits.

    I'm not sure why yours was rejected, but could you tell me why you would change honour to honor? As far as I know there isn't a rule that states all communication should be in American English, not British English, or is there? – Douwe de Haan May 16 '17 at 7:54

    This is an old issue that I don't have a satisfactory answr for. Essentially your edit was merged with the OP's subsequent edit: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/141867/… – psubsee2003 May 16 '17 at 8:01

The final version is not yours. If you compare the two edits you can see they are the same except for one detail:

(app) side (OP) vs (app) site (YOU)

You did not change that, thus it's conflicting as you did the same minus that.

  • So, why my edit was merged into the OP edit? – Amr ElAdawy May 16 '17 at 8:25
  • I just compared the links you provided. I don't see it saying it was merged – EpicKip May 16 '17 at 8:26
  • Also you said you found that they match... They don't so... – EpicKip May 16 '17 at 8:27
  • You mean that the OP has made an edit to the post that exactly fixed the same mistakes? He even changed 'honour' to 'honor'? Ok! – Amr ElAdawy May 16 '17 at 8:28
  • Or he just edited your proposed edit. Point still is, you say the edits are the same, they are not. – EpicKip May 16 '17 at 8:30

    "Or he just edited your proposed edit" The review result would be different. – Tom May 16 '17 at 8:55
  • @Tom ...the full reason has already been given by psubsee2003 (this: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/141867/…). And this answer just tells OP what I see. He says the same edit, I say (see) not. – EpicKip May 16 '17 at 8:57
  • I'm not talking about what OP see and what you see. I've quoted a part of your comment and commented that, nothing else. – Tom May 16 '17 at 9:02
  • @Tom I understand, I'm just saying that even though "Or he just edited your proposed edit" is a wrong statement, its not what I'm basing my answer on :). – EpicKip May 16 '17 at 9:04
