@Fundamental the plan to merge chat.meta.SE to chat.SE, so I presume all those weird thingies will be ironed out

is it possible to ping a user who made his answer as community wiki? He's doing a good job but would need to be told that this: stackoverflow.com/a/28154884/1699210 is not useful and that : stackoverflow.com/q/9848300/1699210

@bummi you pinged?

Hi, sorry for bothering

I struggled about some of your answers, nice job, but some of them should just be closed

e.g.: stackoverflow.com/a/28151775/1699210

Yes. I agee. (I only transcribed the OP's answers BTW)

ohh... then see my comment as moot @BrianTompsett

on a related note: you submitted an edit-suggestion removing the "solution" from the question

@BrianTompsett yes, I know, but this one isn't an answer at all stackoverflow.com/a/28154884/1699210

maybe it's a duplicate and should be closed

if you suggest edits you should strive to improve all the other points, too. (For now I expanded a bit)

the other one is simple typographic and should be closed too

When I suggest edits I try and improve what I can. I pick up a few typos and grammar points when I go through. I only started suggesting edits when the answer was a huge slab of code that should have been in the answer (originally)

@BrianTompsett but I was not about to criticize you at all

@bummi My bad. I was doing some re-tagging of questions relating to web api testing and there were a number of old question where Rusncope was a good fit. I realize there is a fine line regarding what is and isn't acceptable. I'll be more careful in the future.

I started to flag a few as closed, but still have 37 of these in the close queue

@BrianTompsett I know the queue is ... aeheamm exhausting you might post a "cv-pls" here for the bad ones

My actual goal was to empty out list of questions I could answer those that had already been answered. It began to be hard to find unanswered ones, until I read the meta article I cite when I move the answer to a community wiki

@BrianTompsett I like what you do, but a few are not worth it

Thanks. For the heads up. I do read the questions and answers fairly carefully when deciding what to "re process". I'm actually working them in the order of the number of views BTW

My search: "[solved]" answers:0 closed:no isaccepted:no views:3000..4000

@DarrelMiller Hi Darrel, thanks I'm sometimes a bit sensitive at .... advertizing

@BrianTompsett a long journey :/

Bye. OO. Home time....

Bye!

cu

Cya!

@bummi I understand.

@DarrelMiller nothing personal, peace?

@bummi Sure. I'm very happy there are users like you folks who are constantly monitoring what is being posted. I've been a Stackoverflow user for a long time but, I'm new as a Developer Advocate. Need to find a happy balance for providing helpful content without being "promotional".

@DarrelMiller I'm sure you'll find a balance, best luck

Invalid edit. Flag-worthy? stackoverflow.com/posts/14049618/revisions

@JanDvorak but, with what you compare Non_unique?

Can't I use booleans like that?

In that case I should at least remove the not

ok, ok, ok, before I go absolutely mental, can someone look at this: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/284611/1043380

@JanDvorak supposedly in MySQL you should use "is not" not just "not"

It's been ages since I've last done SQL...

Should I just convert it to CW?

or not dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/…

@gunr2171 what have you started?

I know the edit was invalid because it made no sense the where clause with the not something=0/1

@gunr2171 isn't that the copy of book page question asker?

?? (rene)

@rene I haven't started anything! I just don't want to engage with the guy anymore. It will only lead to useless fights on the internet

@gunr2171 this one: stackoverflow.com/questions/25389640/…

Do I get auto-flagged if I roll-back my own edits multiple times in a row?

Yes, but you might try to verify for sure

@gunr2171 to bad Bart isn't here then...

Shamelessly added @Braiam's link. Thanks!

@rene oh, I see. I don't know the history of that asker.

@JanDvorak IMO, only if there's a difference on X% of characters

@gunr2171 so weird...

only 4 characters, but it was in code

Rep-whore is a person who seeks out reputation indiscriminately. Rep-erohw is a person who gives out reputation to just everyone.

@JanDvorak Based on me at GL, that's me all right

Based on this.

Thanks for that, Frank.

@Frank oh, np

@Fundamental wow, you have a ways to go yet

that'll be a great milestone

you'll be the most pessimistic math.se user of all.

@Fundamental who told you he's human?

@Frank Lol, and I needed to lol! Since the use can't mark something status-completed, can we add a comment and flag for a moderator to do it? I have an example if you need one.

@Sue It's not a huge priority for the SE team, understandably. I'd let it go.

Private betas start on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, right?

@Doorknob idk.

Coffee's coming out.

I'm more interested in when Vim will launch, of course

@Doorknob ik

@Doorknob pretty close, too.

Hmm, so if we get our 5 remaining committers by today then we might have a shot at launching tomorrow. (It'll probably be next week, though :( )

@Shokhet Back at ya!

wow, look how much reputation I've made this week! #LastPlace gardening.stackexchange.com/…

@Frank -1, pretty good

@Doorknob it's not gonna be tomorrow no matter what

@AnnaLear Okay, that's what I thought

@Doorknob idk what that link says, don't have privs there.
