| Oct 14, 2016 at 2:08 | comment | added | esperblue | I feel like translations of questions/answers should be addressed. Should it be a goal of this SE to translate a certain percentage of questions and answers? I think this question on its own might merit a meta post. | |
| Oct 13, 2016 at 5:49 | comment | added | avpaderno Mod | @kristan The question body should go straight to the question, without giving details that are not necessary. There is a question on the network meta site specifically about this. | |
| Oct 13, 2016 at 5:46 | comment | added | avpaderno Mod | @AntoniaMontaro If a user keeps asking questions starting with Hi, editing it out you are teaching the user not to do that. In that case, removing Hi is perfectly acceptable. If that is the only thing to change, then change it; otherwise change everything it should be changed. | |
| Oct 13, 2016 at 5:29 | comment | added | Charlotte SL | @kiamlaluno I agree with Antonia's proposal. We're talking about to which extent to edit. | |
| Oct 13, 2016 at 5:19 | comment | added | avpaderno Mod | @CharlotteSL That is something to put in the profile. There is a field for that extra information. Adding "Hello, I am from Austria, and I am learning Esperanto in my spare time. I am also learning Italian and Spanish. I apologize for my English." at the beginning of every question is not something that should be done. Stack Exchange says: "Go straight to the question." | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 20:19 | comment | added | kristan Mod | @AntoniaMontaro that sounds like it could be useful; I'll consider doing that. | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 20:16 | comment | added | Antonia Montaro | I see why they think greetings should be avoided, but I still believe it is unnecessary to correct a newcomer for such a thing. Would it be possible to paste that link, or something similar into the comments below such a post? Something like "Welcome, we are happy that you want to participate to the site. You might find this page useful about which format is recommended at Stack Exchange." Or does that sound rude too? | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 19:51 | comment | added | kristan Mod | It has been brought to my attention that the help center advises against greetings and signatures: esperanto.stackexchange.com/help/behavior | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 19:32 | comment | added | Charlotte SL | @kiamlaluno Sometimes, knowing where the OP is from can help with answering or understanding a question. We are a very diverse group and sometimes cultural and linguistic misunderstandings can be cleared up if we know the OP is, for example, from Austria. | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 18:54 | comment | added | kristan Mod | @kiamlaluno I myself don't find it more or less readable with or without it, though I don't see how it adds much of value to the post. | |
| Oct 12, 2016 at 18:48 | comment | added | avpaderno Mod | To make a post clear and readable means also removing parts like Hello, I am from Austria, and I am learning Esperanto from posts. | |
