  • I have recently posted [a question](https://math.codidact.com/posts/289643).
  • Here is how I typed a sum there: $\sum_{i=1}^{i=N}$.
  • Here is how it was edited: $\sum_{i=1}^{N}$.
  • The comment to the edit reads: "... for correctness".
  • I cannot understand what is incorrect in my way of writing the sum. However, since I am not a mathematician, I assume I can be wrong.
  • **Thus, I am wondering what exactly is incorrect in my expression.**
  • ------------------------------------------------
  • Clarifications.
  • 1) The edit was suggested by @Flomic and approved by @Peter Taylor.
  • 2) I could not find a way to send them a private message asking for explanations.
  • 3) I edited the post back because I consider my original expression correct. I will edit it if I receive mathematically rigorous intelligible explanations.
  • 4) The reason I wrote it the way I did was because I like it that way and I think it is a better, clearer and more rigorous way than the suggested edit. With that in mind, if the editors made the edit simply because they like their way better I would like to express my objections. Here they are. Such behavior implies that you put yourselves above me because you think your opinion is more important than mine. Such behavior implies abuse of power, because you used your position to enforce your opinion on me. The later is associated with assault on personal freedom when, instead of giving the reasonably largest freedom of expression to the users, the team reduces the freedom of expression justifying it by a common good of providing to the world, what the team thinks the, the best formatted content. If the assumption is correct, I would like you @Flomic and you @Peter Taylor to explain yourselves.

I would like to receive explanations to the edit to my post.
I have recently posted [a question](https://math.codidact.com/posts/289643).

Here is how I typed a sum there: $\sum_{i=1}^{i=N}$.

Here is how it was edited: $\sum_{i=1}^{N}$.

The comment to the edit reads: "... for correctness".

I cannot understand what is incorrect in my way of writing the sum. However, since I am not a mathematician, I assume I can be wrong.

**Thus, I am wondering what exactly is incorrect in my expression.**
