Suggested edit by an anonymous user?

Question

I was checking the edit queue when I saw a post with a suggested edit. In the corner it said:

proposed 8 mins ago by an anonymous user

Does this just mean a non-logged in user has made an edit...? Is this possible?

Yeah, that's from a non logged in user.

For tons more reading and everything you'd ever want to know about suggested edits:

Anonymous users can suggest edits to any post more than 10 minutes old. These edits are attributed to the Community user upon approval.

@JaneS Not an idiot at all! Just learning the ropes, and rather quickly might I add! :)

@DavidK Thanks! I just try to apply common sense and experience. Although my experience is that common sense isn't that common! ;)
