@Glorfindel Out of curiosity, did you receive any sort of private message relating to the deletion of your non-hat answer?

Explanation for post-notices should be fixed now that notices are above the posts instead of below.

Thanks.

@Alex You are allowed make the edit, it goes into the suggested edits review queue when your reputation isn't enough for an unapproved edit.

Hey y'all. It looks like the "Drones and Model Aviation" site is likely to go into beta soon. I've got a question on Aviation.SE which is about a model aircraft and which is reasonably well received (with a score of 14 as of this moment).

Would it make sense to migrate/copy/something the question from Aviation to Drones if the latter site goes beta?

@TannerSwett It could take some time for it to end Commitment, and three weeks to finish private beta (during which inbound migrations aren't performed as a matter of policy). You sure the question wouldn't already be 60 days old by that time?

As far as re-copying it to the new site, that would be cross-posting and wouldn't be allowed, unless you deleted the question on the origin site in conjunction.

@SonictheReinstateMonica-hog The question I asked on Aviation.SE? I asked that back in May; it's well past 60 days old.

@TannerSwett So then it can't be migrated by any community member, even by a moderator. You'll need to find a Stack Exchange employee willing to migrate it, and those migrations are performed only in extremely rare, exceptional cases.

When Stack Overflow in Spanish was launched, weren't some questions and answers copied (and translated, obviously) from the main site, in order to give the new site some additional relevant content?

I was just wondering if that sort of thing is commonly done for new sites, on the off chance there are questions elsewhere on the network that happen to be good content for the new site as well.

@TannerSwett That's not technically cross-posting, since the question is being posted in a different language.

You could ask a similar question, with the same foundation but a slightly different ending question.

Well, the question I asked is really the only question that I have. I don't have any slightly different questions.

Anyway, it kind of sounds like you're saying that that was done because it was a site in a new language; we wouldn't repost a question in English on a new site in English.

Q: How do I tactfully ask a flight attendant what's going on if I know my plane has a problem?

I think it's worth explaining that I fall on the autism spectrum, so certain answers that may seem extremely obvious to others are not at all obvious to me. So I was on a flight recently (let's say, leaving from Los Angeles). I fly this route quite frequently, and I also happen to be an aviat...

Q: What do flight attendants do if a passenger asks what is going on in case of a potential emergency?

This is related to, but not the same as, another question I asked on Interpersonal Skills. I was on a flight last year, on a route I fly on a fairly frequent basis. Shortly after takeoff, I heard the three double chime signal, which is commonly used by airlines to indicate to the crew of a poten...

@TannerSwett Exactly.

Good to know, thanks. :D

> The word orange derives from the Sanskrit word for "orange tree" (नारङ्ग nāraṅga), which in turn derives from a Dravidian root word (compare நரந்தம் narandam which refers to Bitter orange in Tamil).[27] The Sanskrit word reached European languages through Persian نارنگ (nārang) and its Arabic derivative نارنج (nāranj).

@TannerSwett Here is Robert Cartaino's answer about copying questions to populate a new site. He is one of the CMs whom serve as moderator prior to a site's first election.

@Rob Ah, good to know. It sounds like the overall point of the answer is that reposting the question to the new site isn't really helpful.
