<p>After the discussion in <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4393/should-i-add-the-self-study-tag-to-a-question-that-is-copy-pasted-from-a-book">Should I add the self-study tag to a question that is copy-pasted from a book?</a> it seems the <em>status quo</em> is to not add the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/self-study" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;self-study&#39;" rel="tag">self-study</a> tag without the author consent.</p>

<p>I'm facing an edit like that right now. If I were to deny it (I won't, I'm skipping, that would be leakage on my part), what reason should I present?</p>

<ul>
<li>spam or vandalism</li>
<li>no improvement whatsoever </li>
<li>clearly conflicts with author's intent</li>
<li>attempt to reply </li>
<li>causes harm </li>
</ul>
