Should somebody remove the "edit to add" part of somebody else's question?

Question

Background info:

I wrote a question about "first story to mention only person on planet".

One person asked if I wanted stories about a person marooned on a moon or asteroid.

Another asked if I wanted religious creation myths.

And somebody posted an answer, now deleted, that mentioned religious creation myths.

Seeing all that, I added this line to the original post.

Edit to add: I would also consider a story about somebody stranded on an asteroid, moon, or dwarf planet. I'm not looking for religious texts or creation myths.

Then somebody removed the Edit to add: part from my own editing.

Now the comments with clarifying questions look inappropriate, as if the persons asking clarifying questions didn't read the text.

Was it appropriate for somebody to remove the Edit to add: part?

Answer 1

Consensus on main meta is that "EDIT" or similar words in the body of an edited post

are rarely needed, nor helpful.

_{accepted answer to "When is “EDIT”/“UPDATE” appropriate in a post?"}

The link to the edit history at the bottom of the post will show users what edits were made to the post if anyone cares to look.

If you feel that comment(s) are made obsolete by editing please flag them. However, I left the comment asking about religious texts because it contains an important link to our policy on citing religious works in answers.
