Jay Hanlon, and But my bias in favor of intervention also comes in part from a sense that what matters long term at EL&U is recognition and refinement of questions worth answering @Sven Yargs | |
| Oct 21, 2017 at 13:47 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @Clare Despite your claims that it has been researched, it has not been according to the expectations of this site. See this meta discussion The OP needs to show what they have looked at to try to answer the question themselves so that we can understand why they still have questions and address the knowledge gap. | |
| Oct 21, 2017 at 12:11 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | @AndrewLeach can the status-completed tag be removed? That tag was placed after the question was reopened. Sadly the question has now been closed again and the tag is serving an unintended purpose. | |

| Oct 21, 2017 at 3:31 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @Mari-LouA What's the point of making and improving lots of questions about articles? The OP's intentions have been disregarded, a poor question still has no research, and if it is reopened, it really only will deserve to be closed again because now it's form means that it is a duplicate of other questions. All this effort should have been spent on making a good canonical question. | |
| Oct 20, 2017 at 13:52 | comment | added | curiousdannii | One poor question does not deserve two separate Meta discussions. You yourself solicited advice on improving the question here! "And say what else can be done to clarify the question?" You went ahead and unilaterally edited the question. I'm here saying that IMO your edit was not a clarification, but actually changed the core of the question. It's perfectly appropriate to discuss that here without making a new Meta discussion. | |
| Oct 20, 2017 at 13:50 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | If you @curious have a question regarding my edit, you should bring it up as a different question not discuss it in comments, so that's all I have to say. | |
| Oct 20, 2017 at 13:49 | comment | added | curiousdannii | "When this question is asked on a site such as this, it means what is the grammatical distinction between the two ways, because I don't want to choose a way that is not correct." No it doesn't, not normally at least. We almost always close such questions as primarily opinion based. And linking to two Google searches for quotes is not the kind of research we're after: looking up the function of articles in a grammar of English is the kind of research the OP needs to present. | |
| Oct 20, 2017 at 13:45 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | Besides that, the issue of trying to salvage a question has been talked about here in meta before,. many times. See, for one Suggested Edit - Author input? | |
| Oct 20, 2017 at 13:40 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | I did not substantially edit the post. The OP was asking about the best/correct way to title a story. When this question is asked on a site such as this, it means what is the grammatical distinction between the two ways, because I don't want to choose a way that is not correct. In addition the OP did include their research from the get-go. | |
| Oct 20, 2017 at 13:37 | comment | added | curiousdannii | You edited the post without any input from the OP. It's their question, which means the basic form of the question should remain their own. If you really want to know the difference, you can ask your own question. In any case, asking for the difference won't bring this on-topic, as it's too basic/no research is shown for it. | |
| Oct 20, 2017 at 13:35 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | Can a mod remove status complete from this meta-question because the question under discussion was closed again @MetaEd | |
| Oct 20, 2017 at 13:10 | comment | added | curiousdannii | You have substantially changed the meaning of the question. I would recommend you revert your latest edit. | |
