Reasons for the rejections visible in all cases

[viritys]

Hi,

So first, a humble brag: 

Total Submitted Changes	14125
Total Pending Changes	1
Total Approved Changes	14107
Total Rejected Changes	17

Those 17 were all blatantly obvious, completely my fault and I got to read why. However I have made more subtle mistakes as well that have been approved that usually at least one of the moderators has noticed and most likely written a reason why they clicked the reject-button. I would suggest that even when something gets approved, the submitter could see the reasons for the rejection(s). Now I usually check whether there's one or more rejection on an approved item and if yes, double-check if I made a typo or some such. Most likely that information is already there written by the moderator rejecting said submission that I just can't see.

This is exactly what I have been wanting. Even if the item is controversial (8 accept and 5 reject for example) I still wouldn't be able to read what people didn't like about it, and would likely continue to make the same mistakes.

I just posted about this in monkeys section I too want to know why the rejections.

Hey all, rejection reasons are indeed visible by hovering over the little "i" icon on the Changes Status page. Were you just not aware of this, or am I missing something?

To my understanding those little "i" icons only come up if it has been fully rejected. If it's something like 6 approvals and 3 rejections, then you can't see what those 3 rejections were all about.

Oic. I'll add that to my list. Honestly though I don't feel like it's a major issue, so it'll probably be a while.

I think this would be a great feature. I often wanted to know what the problem was but almost every upload is accepted even if I messed up. In most cases I know what I messed up but not in all. It would be also a great way to upload higher quality stuff. Is there another thread where improvements for the database handling can be discussed (ie to withdraw an own image which is in moderation)?

Another thing that could be added is for moderators to simply write a comment on an item without voting to reject it. This is for those moments when it's good, but could be tweaked slightly to be improved.

Feel free to create your own thread @ultrez.
