@MattGiltaji This is awesome -- if you haven't you should toss them on the meta post with all the queries!
@Bmo At the bottom of each page it says when it's updated, I think it's 3am every Monday (once/week).
@enderland data.se works the same for me as for you. But I have access to other data which is a bunch more comprehensive. You can also get the close reason (so long as they aren't off-topic close reasons) through data.se though.
@MattGiltaji FYI, you can idiot-check things like that using advanced search: 4,549 questions. 1,386 closed. So 30% seems to be about right.
@MattGiltaji Asker didn't read the FAQ, but being nicer is still good just to give folks the benefit of the doubt. I have a formula for writing comments:
1. Say anything nice or positive. Doesn't matter what, just say it.
2. Explain the issue with the post and cite official help center or meta.
3. Explain how to fix the problem.
Then glue it all together.
(1) Hello and welcome to our site! (2) Your post doesn't quite make it clear what your question is, and speculation doesn't really fit our Q&A format very well. (3) Can you tell us, in an [edit], a little more about your situation and career goals and close with a specific question you have? This will help get you better answers. Thank you and welcome!

I work in a small team of 5 members where all the other members except me are with the company since the very beginning (around 20 years). I have been here for last 2 years. Now every once in a while, one senior developer will come to my desk and start bad-mouthing about the manager. He does it w...
I noticed the post was from January, maybe it was fixed already. Your post said you couldn't get it to query open questions only and my link filtered closed questions out.
@MattGiltaji The thing about queries is that it's far better if you explore yourself. I can ask you to make queries only because I've danced around the data and can think of things I'm curious in. The best thing to do is to ask yourself, "Why is...?" and write a query to answer it.
So, for instance, "Why are so many posts closed?" is a great incentive to make sure that there really are that many posts closed. Once you find that out, asking, "How many answers has that made obsolete?" seems like a natural step

This would really ideally filter out answers to already-closed questions, but I can't figure out how to do that. Most of these should be flagged and/or deleted depending on score and content, based on the discussion here.
BMO added the filter you suggested but couldn't figure out
At some of my jobs people love to gossip about each other. I don't like to participate in gossip.
I've found that if I speak up to tell these people that I believe gossipping is bad, I become a bigger target for the gossip itself.
Am I right to try to stop gossip from occurring? If so, how can...
You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular expressions are a tool th...

Tag Wikis that are Too Short
This could be useful for expanding the tag wikis that are empty or very close to it.
The cut-off of 40 characters for summary and 100 characters for full wiki were plucked out of thin air and adjusted slightly (there were a bunch of decent summaries between 40 and 4...
...another recent example: 3 votes to close, 2 down, #19 (of 100) in the hot list with "32.619 hotness points". "...watching the 'hot network questions' leads me to think that several of the recent sites are gigantic broken windows of self-absorbed subjectivity" -- sure why wouldn't it be different when system works like that — gnat2 mins ago
Noted Mr. Matt, I'll check and look for the difference. In case that they are not different is it okay to delete this topic by myself? — Cary Bondoc3 mins ago
