<p>Yesterday, the author of: <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/217751/7290">Volume representation of ring distribution (cylindrical coordinates)</a> attempted to edit his own question (<a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/revisions/217751/4">edit 4 in the revision history</a>).  Instead of going through, the edit went through the suggested edit queue (<a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/105964">record</a>) with the comment, </p>

<p>What is important here is that the editor was the OP.  He should have been able to edit his own Q without needing approval.  This often happens because an OP has multiple (typically unregistered) accounts.  However, that was not the case here.  The OP and the editor had the same usernumber <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/users/119177/billyziege?tab=topactivity">119177</a>, and he earned <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/users/119177/billyziege?tab=reputation">+2 reputation</a> for having his edit accepted.  </p>

<p>What happened here?</p>
