People seem to be doped into not thinking about ephemeral nature of things - take travel for example, I was in the US a few month before the September 11th 2001, didn't go to NY and see the twin towers. A few months later, they are forever gone. And I went to Jiuzhaigou last year, and a year later, some of the most beautiful attractions there disappeared because of earthquake.

user202362

I was in Australia all these times, didn't see the The Twelve Apostles until only 8 of them left after rest collapsing ...

@ShaWizDowArd can you re-evaluate your dupe hammer here. It sits in the re-open queue as well as it was edited by the OP.

You could say the suggestion of a grace period kind of makes it a different question

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

10:47

@rene I had no idea what "disavow" is, had to Google it, and it looked like the same thing as disassociation. anyway, OP deleted it now so it doesn't matter.

rene

@ShaWizDowArd yeah, I assumed a typo at first as well so ...

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

Probably translation, OP doesn't appear to be native English speaker. :)

Journeyman Geek

11:13

actually, its correct usage

just the sort of big word most native speakers cannot be bothered to use ;p

also, its kinda odd to go "I want to ask questions but have nothing to do with them"

Using a sock is trivial, if its not for evil purposes...

or better yet. Just ask questions you won't be embarassed to be associated with ;p

Galil Jewish–Arab School

Galil Jewish–Arab School is the first joint Arab-Jewish primary school in Israel, founded in 1998. It is located on land owned by kibbutz Eshbal, in the Misgav district of the Galilee, near the Arab town of Sakhnin. == History == The Galil Jewish-Arab school was established in 1998 by the Hand in Hand: Center for Jewish Arab Education in Israel, which also runs other bilingual schools in Israel. In 2007, the school had a student body of 200 Jewish and Arab students (Jews, Muslims and Christians) in Grades 1-9. The students live in Sakhnin, Sha’ab, and communities of the Misgav Regional Council...

Isn't Community Building a part of Interpersonal Skills? The latter site already has more questions in total, about twice as many users, and 300 times more traffic. Merging CB into IPS wouldn't lose anything on CB part, there isn't much to lose.

rene

It would require great interpersonal skills from the CB community to allow that to happen ...

Oded

@ShaWizDowArd I'd say there's an ocean of indifference, but islands of both love and hate.

Elias

Journeyman Geek

@Elias its a bit of a chicken and egg thing. You need active users and moderators for a site to be healthy. But if a site's no healthy people who you want to attract lose interest.

NO PUN INTENDED.

i--

@JourneymanGeek It will happen in opposite case too

Why?

If there's interesting questions....

i--

eg SO

Journeyman Geek

SO's a bit of an outlier

and I'm sure people arn't losing interest cause SO's too sucessful

its more likely the negative externalities

Elias

I don't consider SO healthy enough, with the never ending close vote review...

Askers lose interest because they don't get their answer...
New answerers lose interest because they don't get the rep they want....

But the site just works.

@Elias hence me asking what healthy is

(and I don't use SO so...)

there are way more people in countries such as China and Japan, smaller interstate highways roads are more winding in country such as Australia & new zealand with more ups and downs because less people = less taxes = less $$ to build better roads

@Shog9 this only supports my assertion that the reason is not clear

user310756

@Shog9 most people are too lazy to bother. (she hopes)

bluefeet

@YvetteColomb have you seen our backlog? Nothing is quick or simple

Shog9

16:21

We originally changed the reason to "causes harm" because folks were rejecting edits for nonsense reasons; the goal was to emphasis that edits should default to "approve" unless they harm the post in some way (or, as a canned reason suggests, does nothing whatsoever)

Consider that the purpose of having multiple reasons is twofold: to educate editors, and to guide reviewers. For "other", the editors don't see the text on the option that's chosen - they only see what's typed. So the name is entirely for the benefit of reviewers.

if we change it to "custom reason", that guidance is lost.

Elias

@YvetteColomb actually here: chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/1099/telkittys-big-gifs

(it's big. you have been warned)

user310756

so really you'd prefer users not to really know about it? I mean if it's been a problem in the past and you've needed to obscure the reason

user310756

@Shog9 yeh - I don't think it's useful - if it's really only for edits causing harm - we don't need it.

user310756

If you're not keen on people using it - because of past abuse of it - then there's no real point in having it - seeing harm is well and truly covered

Shog9

@YvetteColomb I'd prefer for them to use it when an edit makes the post worse for a reason not listed above

@Shog9 well I haven't been using it for that :/ ever the rebel

Shog9

16:38

> This [allows] edits that make small changes while overlooking large flaws to be quickly discarded, while ensuring that truly helpful edits – even small ones – are more consistently approved. Combined with change #2, this gives a great deal more power to reviewers who are comfortable editing – and who better to review edits than editors?

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

Or just a Shog Hall?

user315433

I think "causes harm" still applies: the edit did nothing but waste the valuable time of reviewers.

user310756

@Shog9 ok a simple one is removing a tag and leaving grammatical errors

Shog9

@YvetteColomb unless it's a truly awful tag (misspelled, etc), I might argue that's just a bad edit even if there were no grammatical errors.

(OTOH, if someone's removing a misspelled tag, that's probably worthwhile all by itself)

user310756

@Shog9 no nothing like that I'll either approve or reject and edit or approve and edit if I think the person has made a decent effort

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

16:41

I would reject edit as too minor only when it's actually doesn't add/improve anything at all. e.g. just changing single "i" to "I", or changing "My question is:" to "This is my question:"

user310756

@Shog9 there's been a few edits lately removing android-studio - which are valid p but I don't like it when the question itself is left with formatting issues, etc - to me it's a user gaming the system and being lazy - yes it improves the post - removing an unnecessary tag - but it causes harm because some reviewer is left to do the heavy lifting

Shog9

what's wrong with android-studio?

user310756

@ShaWizDowArd I am happy with people capitalising 'i's as long as they don't leave other obvious problems

Shog9

> In short, I don't feel that further generalizing this buys us anything; no amount of discussion on meta can replace guidance that's ready at hand in the UI, and your suggestion weakens what little guidance now exists for that last reason, requiring a reviewer to gauge the usefulness of an edit (a notoriously controversial concept) rather than simply examining it for harm.

My decision as of now ^

user310756

@Shog9 usually it has nothing to do with the problems. Tagging with eclipse is vital - as it's not supported

Shog9

16:44

@YvetteColomb ah. So at worst it's superfluous, while garbled formatting actively hurts the chance that the asker will get a decent answer.

I'd say that probably qualifies

I would still recommend hitting "reject and edit" and actually fixing the formatting if you can spare the time

user310756

@Shog9 yes - so should I leave a comment if I don't have time to edit it

Shog9

right. Or rather, you should leave a comment if you have time to leave a comment but editing will take you longer.

user310756

the thing is - if you come across a lot of posts that still require editing - it can become time consuming

user310756

@Shog9 correct - also wanting to explain why it's not acceptable - it's more about teaching people really - even when I reject and edit, I want to leave a reason

Shog9

@YvetteColomb Might want to investigate the various assisted editing tools on stackapps (also I think Mortensen has a tool on github somewhere for fixing common errors)

Q: Stack Exchange Editor Toolkit

This userscript is a revival of sorts for the old SE Editor Toolkit, which was abandoned some time ago. It only really provides the autocorrect aspect for the foreseeable future, which I find to be quite useful. It works by injecting a button in the edit window (it works inline for users wi...

@YvetteColomb keep in mind that "reject and edit" is guaranteed to actually result in rejection, and also refers the editor to the edit you made as an example of what to do next time.

@Michelle thank you

user310756

@Shog9 oh I use them for grammar and removing superfluous stuff and notepad++ to correct indentations. The problem is those tools are not a catch all and some posts require some time to edit properly

user310756

@Shog9 true - I do think that also

user310756

@Michelle ta

Shog9

@YvetteColomb yeah. Editing, like most activities, is a struggle between trying to be thorough and doing the best you can with limited time.

Hence my recommendation to weigh the time it takes to type a rejection vs. the time it takes to edit.

I'll try that toolkit - there's one attached to the socvrs resources

user310756

@Shog9 yep - and it's actually about my time - the more edits I need to fix the less inclined I am to continue fixing them - unless it's quicker than writing a reason

Shog9

yep

user310756

So do you think the reason I'm giving are ok? given the causing harm thingo

Shog9

@YvetteColomb I only looked at the reasons, not the edits they're paired with. If they're accurate, then they're fine.

user310756

Another point - a lot of people say - well you should fix it - reject and edit - like the reviewers are lazy and it makes me laugh - most of the people active like this - are editing from the front page, in other review queues and trying to keep up with meta (impossible)

user310756

16:52

@Shog9 yeh - cause they're accurate ;)

user310756

hey - thanks for the discussion about it - it helps me to understand and appreciate the answer. If it's going to reopen a pandoras box - there's not point to it

Shog9

@YvetteColomb keep in mind, this has swung both directions at various times - folks rejecting comprehensive edits due to a missed typo and the like. Which is why we removed "too minor" as a canned reason - it was often misused.

user310756

@Shog9 oh no - that's not fair either - let me get a post

Shog9

(also why we finally added the ability for authors to override - very frustrating when someone puts time into fixing your post, and by the time you find it some jackass has rejected the edit)

user310756

16:55

@Shog9 oh yes!! that is a good fix.. It was really frustrating - all that time and effort and it refreshes and the edit is bumped out

Shog9

@YvetteColomb yeah. That misses a lot of opportunities to make the code more readable, but it's still an improvement over where it started.

user310756

@Shog9 see? I figured the editor had good intentions and made an effort - it just needed some tweaking

Shog9

we really need a better code editor :-/

user310756

yeh

user310756

this one stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/17307017

Shog9

16:57

it's 2017. There are self driving cars and fidget spinners; an integrated code editor should be something we have.

user310756

the editor could have made a better attempt - they had a decent rep and should've known better

user310756

@Shog9 we should have a working bee on it

user310756

I have no work atm - that's why I'm always here :D

user310756

OMG

I'm on my way to meta to post

I eventually launch a close vote on this question, meta.stackexchange.com/questions/300465/… as the massive downvote I received looks like it doesn't fit to meta and when asked about it here it was considered as offensive. It is fun, by doing so it gathered other closing votes

user310756

@XavierCombelle not sure - I'll abstain
