Migration of MSO links to MSE links
Oct 25, 2010 at 8:39 comment added 8128 My discussion with Roger was continued in chat and as a result I reverted the question to an earlier revision.
Oct 25, 2010 at 7:59 comment added Roger Pate @fluteflute: I understand the implied question (but the actual question body is poorly edited) to be along the lines of "what widgets should I use to promote Ubuntu on my website", which is subjective. Ask Ubuntu is not an encyclopedia to collect lists and without that implied question, it's not even a question at all.
Oct 25, 2010 at 7:54 comment added 8128 The subjective question guidelines are only for subjective questions though. Either an answer is a "widget to promote Ubuntu on your website" or it is not - nothing subjective there (in my opinion).
Oct 25, 2010 at 7:51 comment added Roger Pate @fluteflute: It fails subjective question guidelines 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. (Linked in the FAQ.)
Oct 25, 2010 at 7:48 comment added 8128 I agree with you on everything except the fact that the "Widgets" question is a discussion question. There's a clear answerable question there, which I think should be allowed on the site.
Oct 25, 2010 at 7:42 comment added Roger Pate @fluteflute: They're both discussion lists rather than questions, though one is phrased better than another. — Discussion is great, but it's not Q&A.
Oct 25, 2010 at 7:10 comment added 8128 I see that second question as fundamentally different to what we're talking about. The "hot" one is just a completely unanswerable question that I think was right to have been closed. On the other hand, the "Widgets" question was a perfectly valid question, the issue up for discussion in this "meta question" is the request everyone edited their answers into a single post.
