<p><strong>I think you are being too cautious here.</strong></p>

<p>We close a lot of questions and some of the decisions are inevitably wrong or at least not optimal. If you see a question that was closed but you think it should be re-opened, then vote to re-open! To increase the chances of reopening, you can do two things:</p>

<ol>
<li>Post a comment explaining why you think this question should be re-opened.</li>
<li>Edit the question to make it as clear and as nicely/cleanly formatted as possible.</li>
</ol>

<p>Then wait and see if it gets re-opened. Only if it doesn't, <em>then</em> you can post on Meta drawing extra attention to the issue. But normally that should not be the first thing to do (at least given that you have enough rep to edit and to cast re-open votes).</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Question put on hold after I already answered it: can I edit it?</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Of course you can.</p>
