@Undo Your question on Super User that you posted one year ago that was off-topic was finally closed today
 
Yup, saw.
 
I was the one that brought attention to it by putting in a recommend closure flag
 
Good job
 
By the way, I upvoted the question a few minutes ago just to give you enough rep so that you can nominate yourself as a moderator on Super User
You had 296, threshold is 300
 
<quickly downvotes 3 of Undo's posts>

@Gilles You and I will be caught for serial voting as we fight to change his rep
So, not getting involved
 
@damryfbfnetsi Hehe. I don't know enough about SU culture, and SR keeps me busy enough.
 
I'm nominating myself today. The election ends just when my exams end.
@Gilles You didn't really
 
@Undo What's a computer? If you can answer in less than 600 characters, you don't understand SU.
 
A computer is a magical gizmo that somehow runs Python.
So yeah, I don't understand SU :P
 
12:36 AM
Ah Simple Wikipedia
 
That's way more than 600 characters
 
 
I just noticed, the system can't onebox Simple English Wikipedia for whatever reason
Is it afraid of what you just said?
 
Probably
A computer is a general purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem. Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit (CPU), and some form of memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit can change the order of operations in response to stored information. Peripheral devices allow information to...
"normal" wikipedia works

Un ordinateur est une machine électronique qui fonctionne par la lecture séquentielle d'un ensemble d'instructions, organisées en programmes, qui lui font exécuter des opérations logiques et arithmétiques sur des chiffres binaires. Dès sa mise sous tension, un ordinateur exécute, l'une après l'autre, des instructions qui lui font lire, manipuler, puis réécrire un ensemble de données. Des tests et des sauts conditionnels permettent de changer d'instruction suivante, et donc d'agir différemment en fonction des données ou des nécessités du moment. Les données à manipuler sont obtenues, soit...

looks like it only accepts 2-letter language codes
 
12:42 AM
huh, neat
 
@Gilles You post it
 
@damryfbfnetsi meh, go ahead. I spend enough time on MSE as it is
 
@Gilles I don't have time; I've got to finish my Super User mod nomination... @Undo, can you do it?
 
If you want me too
 
Post the link when you're done

Sure

Q: Wikipedia oneboxing only works for languages with a two-letter code

UndoWhile idly chatting over at Software Recommendations (boring room name, I know. Anyone have any better ideas?), we noticed that Simple Wikipedia articles (like this one) don't onebox. There just shown as normal links, while their en.wikipedia.org counterparts onebox. After some more investigatio...

@damryfbfnetsi @Gilles ^
 
Good luck! ;)

Does anyone other than me consider this off-topic and a bad question for SR?

Q: Free web service for consumer drug information

avidProgrammerI want to know if there are web services that provide consumer drug information like side effects, the drugs composition(ingredients), manufacturer, warnings related to the drug....so on.If you know one, Please tell me as I need it desperately. Thanks in advance.

@Seth yes, let me pull up the meta link

Q: Which language for my needs?

PalmerBackground: I have a job as a programmer currently using proprietary software for writing applications for a private company(I can't explain), so am a bit rusty on consumer software. I have rough knowledge in C#, ASP.Net, JavaScript(jquery, ajax, json), PHP, HTML5, CSS3, SQL, and a few command li...

^^^^ this is asking for a programming language recommendation, right? The question is rather rambling
 
@Gilles I'm not sure how to close that
 
@Braiam unclear
 
@Gilles ick, can't believe it got two upvotes.
 
I mean, isn't answerable in it current form, but I don't know how to vote
 
1:39 AM
unclear what you're asking
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.
 
@Gilles oh, so unclear is "I don't even know how to close this" too
nice
 
@Braiam no, unclear because I don't understand what he's asking
possibly a programming language recommendation (which would be off-topic) but I'm not sure

seems on-topic to me, tho unclear. Could be added to meta.softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/813/… as an example of something mistaking, on the other side.

@NickWilde can you please point me to help-center, where it is written? My question was about possible alternatives, because after more than a week, no one pointed me to any normal alternative, I took a look by myself. When I will investigate further and select the tool I liked, I will update it. P.S. have not seen you complaining about a link and a screenshot from Cornelius. — Salvador Dali 24 mins ago
re:
We are really not looking for list type answers - if you are liking one of those try writing up a high quality answer specifically for it. Otherwise I'd suggest making this a comment. — Nick Wilde 43 mins ago
 
We need new stars.
Lots of them.
 
I know we talked about that in the beginning but right now my search-fu is weak
and I'm not finding where we explicitely stated list type answers/questions must be tossed
@Seth what kind of stars?
 
@NickWilde Look under the userlist.
 
@Seth oh those stars
yeah I see those are a bit old
