A preview option would be useful for both users and staff. I've occasionally made formatting mistakes, particularly with links, that I've had to edit the trivia again to fix. And it would be nice if users could view and edit their own pending submissions. There's certainly been some instances where someone submits the same thing twice, and sometimes one of the staff will accept the earlier one, but forgets to copy the information over from the improved one.
Submitters being able to improve their submissions while they're sitting in the queue would certainly make it easier to keep up, rather than having to decide whether to try to fix an entry up or just reject it and tell the submitter to improve it and try again. Being able to give them a link and some feedback on what an entry needs to be acceptable would improve the experience, I think. I don't see any particular harm in users being able to delete their own pending trivia, should they realize it's not suitable or already exists on the site.
