If you posted a correct/improved answer but it hasn't been selected as BA, you can link it here and the mods will review it then select it. You can also post other people's answers here.

Rules:

  1. Read In what circumstances will mods select the best answer for others? first. We'll only select answers that fit the descriptions linked there.
  2. You must post an ANSWER to this question containing the link, NOT a comment. If you post a comment, it will be hidden and your request will be ignored.

Previously we've suggested using flags or walling the mods for this purpose, but I can see people don't like doing that so here yous all go.

how long/what event should i wait for to put an answer on this? Maybe two weeks with no response from the OP?
As per the guidelines linked in the question, wait a couple days.

Regarding sumwun's answer to How do you counter mega staraptor? the asker says the following:

I didn’t select your answer to the staraptor Question because one of your sources linked to viability rankings for a different format, one of them linked to a bunch of weird numbers and the final one linked to a dammage calculator. you also suggested talonflame who is easily countered by fake out and then dies to a brave bird from staraptor. Same goes for Delphox and aero dies to Cc which is even worse. Aegislash is almost completely outclassed by Ghouldengo for countering staraptor. Mega metagross is ok but it can’t do much to Sinitcha who can just redirect all of metagross’s away from staraptor. Mega Raichu is a ok counter but it instantly gets screwed if the opponent has something like scary face grimsnarl Sinitcha or fake out. Pelliper and froslass are the only counters you listed that can actually counter staraptor no matter its allies. Because of all this I decided to not select your answer. After listing all this I’m starting to wonder if you have evereven played against a mega staraptor or played even Reg M-B VGC as a whole.

Please remember:

  1. None of the situations from the the guidelines apply in this instance, so we wouldn't select the answer anyway.
  2. Post an answer, not a comment (I removed the original comment chain this is from).

Please let me know if any of these shouldn't get BA.

I think you should go back through and proofread all these answers just in case. Just in the first two, I had to edit Calyrex's total to be 315 (you wrote 215), and the Generation IV section on your Toxicroak answer is missing HGSS (plus there's at least one typo). I don't doubt that most of these are correct, but I also don't want to go through and verify them all myself when they're supposed to be updated answers.
ok... if you dont mind a lot of edits.
I've cleared out everything that's had a BA selected. I'm going to defer to someone else on that last one :P
My vote goes to Silver on that last. Their answer is more clear and concise.
fair, but im gonna keep it until it gets denied/approved by a mod

also i wasn't done proofreading because i had to go for a while but thanks X!
if it's left up to me, i'd pick myself :P so someone else should pick
