It used to be. These days people go through your contributions with a fine toothed comb to make sure you've never mistagged a CSD, called a spade a spade or spelt "opportunity" with an 'e'.
Not so. In fact for the most part other than some computerized checking people don't normally check back even 1000 edits. This can result in an interesting situation where RFAs can biol down to luck. Does the person who remembers the mistake you made 3000 edits ago find out about the RFA before it closes?
