Mar 5, 2021 at 16:46 comment added John Lawler Why should they be on the same page? They aren't. The purported membership of this SE is not the actual membership, which disagrees on just about everything, because that's the way English Language Usage is discussed. It's hardly perfect, but lack of desire for organization is good evidence that we don't want to get organized that way. Despite the fact that people edit things in their own favorite ways, just like they talk.

Jun 8, 2011 at 20:54 comment added MrHen @Jeff: Okay. A short version: Requests and questions for style guides and suggestions just wither away here on meta but people continue to edit questions, titles, answers such that they line up with their personal preferences. This question was trying to find a way to get everyone on the same page.
Jun 8, 2011 at 20:52 comment added Jeff Atwood @mrhen I have no idea what this question is about
Jun 8, 2011 at 19:45 comment added MrHen @Jeff: Ping. Was what I provided not what you were really asking for?
May 29, 2011 at 5:05 comment added MrHen @Jeff: The current topic involves titles for questions on word differences. The link from this question has an answer with other formatting specific problems. Only three have open discussions; two of them have reached a reasonable conclusion but I highly doubt most realize it.
May 29, 2011 at 4:23 comment added Jeff Atwood @mrhen can you provide some examples of the specific problems you want to solve, with hyperlinks?
May 28, 2011 at 12:45 comment added MrHen @Jeff: You tell me. Any discussion on style just sits and collects dust while people edit titles and content in conflicting ways.

May 28, 2011 at 5:08 comment added Jeff Atwood er.. what? isn't it better to just focus on the actual problems you wish to solve on this site, rather than creating a general methodology for solving any hypothetical problem?
