Sonic Wizard

@ShadowWizard Okay, it may not be a dupe of the target I proposed earlier, but it's definitely not a dupe of the current target (because the current target specifically asks if the one that's unanswered is your own while the closed question specifically asks if the one that's unanswered is someone else's). I'd recommend either changing the duplicate link to meta.stackexchange.com/questions/20042, or reopening it entirely.

By the way, I like your new avatar, @Shadow the Hedgehog

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard no, the answer in the faq covers 100% that one as well. If anything, its title can be changed to remove the reference to own question, in my opinion.

Sonic Wizard

@ShadowWizard No, the advice is different if the one you're looking for an answer to is your own vs. someone else's.

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard sure thing! Now people can really get confused.... :D

Sonic Wizard

1:13 PM

The question and answers have always covered for one's own questions; I just made that more clear.

@SonicWizard @Shadow For instance, you can't edit a question to provide status updates relating to your efforts to answer it yourself if it's not your own question, the edits would be too radical. Also, you can only upvote the other question if it's someone else's.

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard different how? Worst case, we can just add another answer/section to the faq about questions asked by others. I see no need for two separate questions on the same topic.

Sonic Wizard

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard well, might fit new answer/section in existing faq. :)

Sonic Wizard

This is also a good FAQ proposal: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/20042

@Shadow What do you think of that question?

Shadow Wizard

@SonicWizard not fitting as faq, and not dupe... think it's good enough in its current state.

Sonic Wizard

1:20 PM

@Shadow Also, I should mention that that question has also undergone one scope widening already: it previously only covered the case where it got some answers, but they weren't good enough; now it's been extended to cover the case where it has no answers at all. I think extending it to cover the case of someone else's question would make it too broad.

@ShadowWizard Is it a good dupe target for the one you reopened and reclosed?

Or maybe it's better to altogether reopen that one and close the one I linked just above as a dupe of that?

@ShadowWizard Actually, since you already used up your Chaos Emerald's power on that question, we'd need someone else to actually implement the result of our discussion

@SonicWizard why too broad? "How to attract new attention to old questions" is totally valid as a general subject.

Panis

The Panis (Sanskrit: पणि : ) are a class of demons in the Rigveda, from paṇi-, a term for "bargainer, miser," especially applied to one who is sparing of sacrificial oblations. The Panis appear in RV 10.108 as watchers over stolen cows. They are located behind the stream Rasā, and sought out by Sarama. They boast to Sarama that they are well-armed and will not yield the cows without battle, and that the cows are furthermore well hidden in a rocky chamber. Sarama threatens them with the might of Indra and the Angirasas who will recover the cows. The "rocky treasure-chest" of the Panis is identical...

Enlarging your demon sounds useful indeed.

> Nice self-congratulatory post. Where’s the one where you apologize for creating a toxic, inhumane wasteland that rewards arrogance and shaming while excluding women and people of color? Is that one next? -- April Wensel at 12:11 PM - 7 Apr 2018

From the founder of askquestions.tech which is very inclusive indeed.

user315433

You won't get an answer unless it's some chit-chat about who uses what. But yeah, inclusive.

user315433

The part about excluding people of color is interesting, considering the number of users from India. But it's typical with diversity initiatives that the skin color is considered only if the passport color matches that of the U.S.A.

Indeed, why couldn't web applications also be on topic at SU? meta.stackexchange.com/q/308853

I'm tired of reviewing on Web Apps, where a dozen people are left holding the fort...

Someone has a spreadsheet question... a lot of times the answer is the same for desktop Excel and for Excel online. And maybe for Google Sheets too.

@SFTP I think we don't count. Nor do Chinese and other South Asians. And I've never heard of native Americans call themselves POC.....

And none of these whiners about female representation congratulated @YvetteColomb

Magisch

@SFTP I wonder where that sentiment is coming from

SE is about the most technical and least gendered site on the web

You could be forgiven for mistaking all the participants as advanced AIs set loose

@JourneymanGeek Thats because Yvette won on merit

@Magisch it's someone picking a big site to push an agenda

Magisch

Her gender wasn't a deciding factor in the election. She won because she's capable of doing the job

Journeyman Geek

@Magisch that makes the win more important not less.

Magisch

@JourneymanGeek not if you oppose merit as a means of choosing leaders

Journeyman Geek

Cause we don't need token mods. She stood up, was found worthy by the community and won. And yet....

Magisch

@JourneymanGeek If tokenism is your goal, then a minority person winning on merit counters your argument
