Thousands of new questions arrive at Stack Overflow every day. In the first minutes the questions get viewed the most and if bad/unclear/off-topic downvoted and closed as such.

If the OP later edits the post these people are gone and closed questions mostly stay like that - closed.

Could we introduce a new review queue to make these posts more prominent? In there questions would go that are closed, but edited by the OP. This way they get another shot at reopening.

One related solution for this is notifying downvoters after an edit.

"by the OP", I do always think it's a bit of a shame when a question comes into the reopen queue due to a spelling correction edit from some other user. –  OGHaza Jul 25 at 14:21
Aren't these already put in the reopen queue? Edit: Yes, if they're edited within 5 days of being closed. –  Bill the Lizard Jul 25 at 14:22
