A: Please give suggestions to improve question on data hunting for titles further

Anton MenshovA few things about this question: "Ok, fine" in the question title. it contains 2 questions: where to find data and how to analyze it. here, you have been suggested to use the FIDE ratings database, which is a reasonable suggestion. In the comments section, you elaborated a bit why this is an in...

 
thanks. your bullet 1 is, imo, related to your bullet 4. do you see why (i would think so) ?
big lists are frowned upon? are you sure? mathoverflow.net/questions/401493/…
 
@BCLC you left out "generally". I specifically placed it in. Moreover, this is community-dependent.
@BCLC my bullet number 1 is my bullet number 1. I prefer to avoid guessing games.
 
wow i recognise your profile picture from the person who downvoted me in maths se! :O math.stackexchange.com/questions/4221576/…
anyway, look the 'ok fine' is BECAUSE i already posted all those questions. what did you expect/did you think should be the case, that i don't acknowledge the previously posted questions? i could either not acknowledge or delete the old ones, but i don't see how i risk avoiding downvotes anyway. damned if i do, and damned if i don't, so i'd rather just acknowledge, so if i'm wrong then i'm wrong in a good way. it's kinda like the debate on giving to beggars vs giving to charities. i read somewhere like giving to beggars is like 'i could be wrong, but at least i'm wrong in a good way' idk
 
@BCLC I did not downvote you at all there, btw. That downvote (which I am not aware of) came way before I saw that answer.
 
Anton Menshov 'first paragraph had nothing to do with an answer to the question' lol nt
 
8:27 PM
@BCLC I did a suggested edit yesterday. The downvote is not related to me. I have 125 reputation there, and never downvoted an answer on Mathematics SE.
 
ayt ayt i believe you. p.s. now you have more 125
but anyway anyway back to the chess: as i said in comment above: what did you expect/did you think should be the case, that i don't acknowledge the previously posted questions?
 
The title should convey a short message about the question. "Ok fine" assumes that people know the history of the myriad of your questions. That should not be the case. Also, "ok fine" is a condescending phrase in my opinion, which I translate to myself as "ok, you wanted a question of this type -> here you are". I might be wrong in my interpretation, but I don't believe this serves well to the question itself at all.
 
Anton Menshov thanks for the insights. 1 - . "Ok fine" assumes that people know the history of the myriad of your questions. That should not be the case. --> but the downvotes suggest that they DO know right? also they will know the history when they read the post...? 2 - condescending --> really? i wanted to do like the opposite. like i'm surrendering to them. that i admit i was wrong. i thought it was pretty mature or humble of me. so what did you think i should do: delete the other questions and post this new one? don't delete and post this new one pretending the others don't exist?
i think the pretend option is pretty...like not genuine or something. idk.
 
@BCLC in this meta question, you asked about particular problems with this question. I answered them. If you have a different question, please, post a new meta-question.
 
what do you mean? my question is about your answer. am i forbidden to use comments to ask for clarifications?
 
8:29 PM
@BCLC no, you are not forbidden. However, I am bit reluctant to continue.
reason: I gave you my advice. And it is a week we are back and forth on it.
You wanted to know how to improve this qustion -> I answered on it.
At this point and as per how the conversations are going, I am not convinced in the conversation I am doing - is serving any good.
I reserve the right to rethink that, but to me all that looks very counter-productive.
 
9:09 PM
@AntonMenshov there's a part of your answer that i have a question on. may i pretty please ask such question?
 
 
1 hour later…
10:12 PM
@BCLC you can certainly ask it.
