Immediately after submitting, a presentation of what the finished page would look like is shown, for you to review, and perhaps spot things that might be overlooked on the current submission page... so that if anything needs to be altered, you can simply go back and change it until you're happy, and can hit "Confirm". This is the option I'd go for. I know allowing people to edit existing entries might lead to edit wars, but I think all most of us are asking for is just the ability to "head off" issues before they are submitted. I've had a couple of cases where auto-correct has changed something without me noticing. This wasn't my indexed item, but there's a book that was accidentally entered with the publication year of 204 instead of (presumably) 2004. Whoever entered that might have been able to catch it on a confirm screen (and, yes, I submitted a correction when I saw it). Certainly this type of feature is well-used on Wikipedia and similar sites and much as people have wanted the ability to edit tweets, a confirm post feature on Twitter would be very valuable. Fortunately we don't need such a thing for Forum or Comment posts here because, ironically, we are allowed to edit those.
