# What can I do if the problem is deleted when I tried to edit my answer?

Yesterday ($8$ hours ago) there was a problem asking to find the residue of $\exp (\csc(1/z))$ at each of its singularity. I answered that problem and then today morning, I thought to edit my answer by adding more details. Now I cannot find that problem with my answer which took me about $30$ minutes to solve. This is the first time that I experienced something like this. Is there an this that I can do regarding this?

• @celtschk On a domain where the logarithm is holomorphic except for (possibly) isolated singularities, it has no poles. Yeah, I didn't explicitly say that $\text{whatever}$ should be holomorphic except for possibly isolated singularities. I should have. Nov 11 '17 at 12:12

For the current case, the user that had asked the question self-deleted the question. I undid this and told the user that this should not be done. (It was a new user; some believe in error that this is the intended way to use the site or in any case do not see the problem with it.)
