We're missing a few important entries from the current closing process so I'm rewriting some of the current reasons. I've just asked the other mods to read over them but thought a bit of public input couldn't hurt either!

Most of these are based on what we've done in the past and on existing meta subjects about this.

 - **This is not about Ubuntu**. Questions about **other Linux distributions** can be asked on [Unix & Linux](http://unix.stackexchange.com), those about **Windows** on [Super User](http://superuser.com), those about **Apple products** on [Ask Different](http://apple.stackexchange.com/) and **generic programming questions** on [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com).

 - You need to [report this problem on Launchpad](http://askubuntu.com/questions/5121/how-do-i-report-a-bug), Ubuntu's bug tracker. **Bugs** or **problems with the development version of Ubuntu** can't be fixed unless developers know about them and this is the wrong place.

 - This question is about an [**end of life** Ubuntu release](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases). These are no longer supported and are therefore off-topic here. To upgrade, see: [How to install software or upgrade from old unsupported release?](http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-old-unsupported-release)

 - This describes **a problem that can't be reproduced** that seemingly went away on its own or was only relevant to a very specific period of time. It's off-topic as it's unlikely to help future readers.

Of course there are four there and [I'm still waiting to hear back to see *if* we can do that][1] but let me know if you think any of these need improving and how you would do it. There is a character limit (and the first pretty close) so remember we can't fit a whole book in these things.

These are compatible with existing reasons so assuming I don't hear anything super-negative back, we'll try to get these through in the next couple of days. Hopefully along with an EOL entry too.
