You gained that reputation for suggesting edits in the past, but those posts have now been deleted (either by an automatic process or by trusted users) because they were low quality. In that case, you'll lose the +2 reputation from the suggested edit, because reputation is (generally) only gained...

Looking at the suggested edits by this user in SEDE, there are indeed some deleted posts. — Martin Sleziak 2 hours ago

It is probably not that important, but I'll just add that the SuggestedEdits table keeps the data also about deleted posts. At least that is what I gather from the above query restricted to deleted posts and similar query without the restriction on a single user. So I think that the claim that "they won't be visible there anymore" is not correct. — Martin Sleziak 25 mins ago

@MartinSleziak Ah right, because it's actually some kind of review record. Thanks for spotting that (and for writing the query). — Glorfindel 1 min ago

@Glorfindel feel free to let me know if you think that it would be better to remove the last two comments. (The post has been already updated.)

But I think that it is slightly better if they stay - the comments add two more additional queries and also some explanation why the post evolved in the way it did.

(I wrote this in chat instead under the post, since I did not want to add too many comments there.)

I am pretty sure I said it before, but let me just say again that I really appreciate your posts on various meta sites which I frequent (such as Mathematics Meta or MathOverflow Meta).
