Q: Cleaning up inconsistent question statuses

Michael LaiI didn't realize it at the time, but looking back at the list of questions I have asked in the past, I can see that the same type of question with different variables have different statuses and outcomes. Just wondering if there is a process to raise and resolve these types of inconsistencies for...

3:52 AM
is ugly - it could use a dash
Shall we burn it and make a new one with a dash?
 
I would nuke it, I show only three posts with it
 
meaning you don't think it's useful at all? or do what I mentioned?
 
4:09 AM
dont really think its useful
 
you want to burn it or want me to?

Q: Inconsistency in question closing moderation

Michael LaiI didn't realize it at the time, but looking back at the list of questions I have asked in the past, I can see that the same type of question, which are only different in regard to the variables, have different close statuses/outcomes. Is there a process to raise and resolve these types of incons...

2:47 PM
Any of you use DepositPhotos? I got a 20% off promo code but I'm not sure if it's tied to my account only...
Ping me if you want it
 
CAI
Do we need a Pixlr tag?
 
3:02 PM
@CAI if we have questions by all means add the tag
 
CAI
@Darth_Vader on it
 
if you do, Id encourage you to also edit the tag wiki so you will get some rep. When you get done let me know and I will review it
 
CAI
@johnp related.. anyone watched the new X-files??
 
haha I don't but I had a strange crush on Sculder & Mully when I was little
 
CAI
3:09 PM
lol
 
@CAI ive got them all recorded.. going to find some time to benge watch all the older xfiles before I watch the new ones.
 
CAI
@Darth_Vader yeh im doing exactly the same
seems to be a lot of revealing ads on all the time, keep having to turn away lol
 
3:39 PM
anyone on a Mac that I can bug for a screenshot?
 
@johnb sup
 
just a screenshot of the rendered output in Safari is all I need jsfiddle.net/75f64uuo
 
you rock, thanks
 
anytime
so I can get listings to pull from etsy API but not shops... ggrr
 
CAI
3:55 PM
@Darth_Vader I was reading a bit earlier.. should just be able to pass a shop_id ?
 
tried that
but my understand its https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/shops/ not https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/
so if its passed &shop_name=foobar doesnt work
so going to look into building with php a way to detect what Im returning if not 200 from the API
 
no, will do
 
CAI
you should be able to post your request url in and itll tell you the response
 
4:02 PM
@JohnB necromancer
 
@CAI ya its throwing 400 Bad request
 
I blame Ryan, he has me searching through the old and unanswered Illustrator questions so that he doesn't beat me too badly in the silver badge race
 
CAI
@Darth_Vader You should be able to build a request from the methods on the left.. havn't read through the API much yet to be much more help :)
 
wonder how Im supposed to get shop_id
 
It's weird, but I don't want any badges until April rolls by. Then I'll have 10/40/70 which my inner number geek really likes :)
 
4:09 PM
@Vincent my geek in me likes: 0/9/9/9
 
in badges? that's a tad bit late for you :P
besides, We don't have platinum badges yet
 
CAI
@Darth_Vader Made a Pixlr tag wiki
 
done
 
@CAI heh, I was thinking of adding that new tag as well
 
the icon feels like that eye from the space 2000 movie
 
JTL
4:27 PM
@CAI Good call on modifying my edit on that Pixlr question. I almost made the change you added in the body myself, I overlooked the suboptimal wording of the title itself (which you fixed), and I'm not particularly active anywhere beyond voting, so I didn't have the rep to add the tag. It really shows that you bothered to read and understand the whole question, even if it was a pretty short one.
I hope you maintain your edit-reviewing energy and attention to detail long after your edit review count hits triple digits.
Also, thanks to everyone else diligently working those queues behind the scenes. I know I've seen @Darth_Vader and @Vincent showing up specifically.
 
CAI
@JTL Just trying to make the place a bit more organised :)
 
Welcome to the chat @JTL! Thank you for doing some polishing
 
CAI
Quick thought.. do users still get the rep if I improve the edit in review?
@JohnB ?
 
JTL
@CAI Yes.
 
yep
 
CAI
4:33 PM
Good to know :)
I assumed so, wasnt sure though
 
@Vincent I did some digging into the workings of badges, apparently nobody has Generalist because our top 40 tags don't all have 200 questions yet. But they will, very soon...
 
Hi @JTL Thanks for the kind words
 
welcome @JTL
 
And when they do, you'll have it. Just adding some intensity to the numbers game :)
good luck!
 
@JohnB will we finally be a full-grown site? ;)
ah crap
better not happen before Sherrif :P
 
4:39 PM
yes, it's known as double-secret graduation
just dissuade everyone from asking photo-editing, resize, color-theory, or cs5 questions until then
 
nah, that would go too far
 
yeeaah you're right. Just silently suspend anyone that asks them
well I guess that's a form of dissuasion, so maybe that's still too far
 
JTL
Hello, and thanks, all.
@JohnB Thanks! I think getting prompt responses and having a reviewer think to retag or add something useful to an edit I make encourages me to be a little more aggressive. Otherwise, and this is how I feel on some SE sites, it can feel like suggested edits are just going into some queue where someone has to begrudgingly approve them, and that I'm just creating work for people to do.
 
maybe just cross your fingers and hope then
@JTL personally, I don't mind the work and I doubt anyone else does either. If you don't like it, skip it :P
 
I don'tmind either
 
CAI
4:45 PM
@JTL not at all, edits are very welcome! I know i'm happy to review them. It's good that people care enough to do it
 
JTL
That is good to know.
 
I'm glad they nixed the "too trivial" reject reason, so long as you've addressed any obvious errors in the post then you'll get an approve from me
 
aye!
every little spelling error counts--even those Oxford commas :P
 
of course you're in a room with those who do the most edits, so opinions may change outside of here :P
 
CAI
anyway I'm off to spend some time with my kids..... I'm very close to 3k so if anyone wants to UV some of my Q&As while im gone ;)
haha
 
4:54 PM
we will get the party supplies ready for when the moment happens
later!
 
CAI
o/
(@Vincent taught me that one)
 
JTL
@JohnB Heh, that may be true.
 
CAI
later
 
JTL
@CAI Later!
 
@CAI And I got it from @Zach
 
5:10 PM
\o
@Vincent I hope you saw my comic I linked
 
aye
I don't say the OC is useless, it's just that I can't get used to it
 
You weren't raised with it?
 
mainly because it is hardly used in Dutch
 
Gotcha
 
I am not native, my friend :)
 
5:14 PM
It wasn't until college when I realized it was somewhat common to avoid it
 
In Dutch I would think it very ugly, mainly because we'd use a colon in the second instance: 'the strippers: jfk and stalin'
but don't waste time on my weird love-hate affair with the Dutch and English languages :)
 
I would use a colon there are well if I were writing it
it's a more funny example than an actual use case though
 
6:01 PM
@CAI you may want to follow: stackoverflow.com/questions/36043478/…
or you may have an answer if you figure it out before me.
 
CAI
6:18 PM
@Darth_Vader I'll see if I can figure it out later tonight if you don't get an answer by then
 
edited per the comments
think I should just go to imgur and play with their api, lol
 
CAI
@JohnB beat me to it.. I literally just did the exact same pattern brush screencap
came back and you already posted
 
awww, should have called dibs!
 
CAI
all good :)
 
6:34 PM
the original post was a bit scrambled, I hope I didn't butcher the original intent with my edit
it wouldn't be the first time that I accidentally changed a question to something completely different for reading something incorrectly :X
 
@Vincent may I have permission to use your instagram feed for a demo wordpress widget?
 
6:52 PM
imgur feed?
 
ya they have an API
would build a widget to go into the footer and return the images and links to one's instagram feed.
 
ah, I didn't know that was a thing or that Vincent had one
 
oh snap, meant instagram, lol
 
ohhh hah
that I knew of
 
I was using imgur to edit my question on SO... call that a multitask fail
 
6:56 PM
we've all been there
 
Im gonna feel stupid if Ive ended up misunderstanding this etsy documentation
 
7:51 PM
@Darth_Vader API what you want :-D
 
 
3 hours later…
CAI
10:39 PM
just did a load of tag wiki write ups if any wants to review
 
CAI
10:58 PM
@Darth_Vader I got the etsy shop request working
 
O_O
 
CAI
I'll post an answer on your SO Q in a mo
 
what did I do wrong? wonder if I was even close, lol
your tags are approved
 
CAI
the colon before shop_id or shop_name!
apart from that it was perfect
 
really?? even though the documentation says to use it?? fuuu
 
CAI
11:03 PM
yup
 
also, you're 5 days away from your first gold
 
CAI
woooo
 
that's if you dont miss a day on GD.SE
well... it works, lol
 
CAI
gotta love inaccurate documentation
 
wonder if I should email them..
now to examine how I can build this better
 
CAI
11:12 PM
just found... "These are identified by a leading colon, as with :listing_id above. Before making a call, you must substitute a valid ID value for these placeholders"
i guess that means the colon indicates a placeholder
they dont exactly make it clear though
 
where in the documentation was that?
 
under requesting URLs.. ggrr
for got to +1 you, too.
 
CAI
still its not very clear, I wouldn't have caught that
:)
 
still hard to find solid tutorials and documentation to build from JSON feeds
 
CAI
11:22 PM
yep. always gives me a headache
