@ortho @M.A.R. @Mith @Melanie @Mart @penta @heather Please suggest any additional Spring Cleaning FAQ questions you can think of.

Of course it would be lovely if you'd write them up (with answers.......), but I'm happy to tackle as much as I have time for.

Also, I'm not confident of my "Philosophy / Procedures / Background" layout of the FAQ - suggestions welcomed.

Thoughts on this one, please.

Can you guys assign me to something. I'm a bit confused as to what to pick out. :P

Also, this post (new one.) I'm not sure I understand him. It seems the answerer does, though. Anyone want to edit the language in the question? chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/71736/…

@MelanieShebel Have you looked at the GitHub project? You still show as 'invitation-pending'.

Also, see here if you haven't yet.

@Feeds @ortho @Mart Need a closehammer on this one. Too broad.

cleanup action: dropping in to note that I deleted this chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/60070

@hBy2Py nope, I think I'll let community vote on it..

still -1... feels more unclear to me than broad

@ortho Ooh, thanks for fixing those links. How do I get those instead of the new pagey ones?

orthocresol

@hBy2Py hmm... it was something I figured out by trial and error i think.

hBy2Py

Heh, of course

orthocresol

I discovered it when I was doing the group theory tables.

hBy2Py

btw, at least one of those 'back to TOC' links is going to the question itself, not the TOC answer

orthocresol

Oopsies

They seem to be working ok for me, did you change it already?

hBy2Py

12:24 PM

Huh.

No, they're working now

Not sure what happened, may have been a brain fart

orthocresol

Ok, all's well then ;)

I find it rather irritating that there is no easy way to order the answers the way you want to.

hBy2Py

Yep, is one of the downsides.

orthocresol

You have to manually edit them in reverse order (so if you want the answers to appear in the order 1,2,3,4,5, you edit 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) and then tell people to sort by active.

At least, the accepted answer is always at the top, so that's excellent for a TOC.

if i upvote all of these posts, I wonder if it will trigger any serial voting mechanism...

hBy2Py

12:28 PM

Maybe not, since there's no rep gain on Meta?

Overall, what do you think of it?

orthocresol

Yeah, there's no incentive to. However, I was just curious.

The post?

hBy2Py

yeah

orthocresol

It's looking great, I know it will take a while to fill in the stuff, but take your time

hBy2Py

Most of the questions that are in the TOC are already filled out

(OCD late night....)

orthocresol

In addition, what "GO FFFFFF" refers to? Accessing the text linked teaches me "GO" is used for "graphene oxide", yet what is "FFFFFF" ? White graphene oxide (as "ffffff" is used in RGB colour space as "white")? — Buttonwood 6 mins ago

Please suggest any other questions you can think of, too.

orthocresol

Ahahaha

Nah, it's ok, not posting this for review, just thought it was funny :D

hBy2Py

Yeah, I think I need to step away from it for a day or three, let the community respond to it for a bit and let me relax about it.

orthocresol

Mm.

I'll try to do up a little bit in my own time.
