@TheDestroyer Puli ni chusi nakka vatha petukundata. Did you hear about this idiom?

Are we following our top voted faq ? @Pandya @TheDestroyer ? Or is it abandoned? I am having doubt.

Pandya

@NogShine Do you mean the copy-paste issue?

Nog Shine

@Pandya Yes.

Pandya

@UdhavSarvaiya Namaste

Nog Shine

@Pandya Is Bhim Agiyaras and Nirajala Ekadashi same?

Pandya

@NogShine What do you mean by following or abandoned? What doubts do you have?

Nog Shine

10:15

@Pandya Not following you. lol.

I am asking whether we are still following that policy?

That is the one of the most useful meta posts I read.

Pandya

@NogShine Yes, I think

Udhav Sarvaiya

@Pandya hello

Pandya

@NogShine Yes, plagiarism is definitely not allowed.

@Pandya What about answer is totally block quote and nothing from user.

@STEEL Like I said, if they include the URL to the original article then at least it's not plagiarism - but that doesn't make it a good answer, and I would probably still downvote in many cases. — senshin Jun 22 '14 at 20:05

Pandya

@NogShine well, yes, I know we have such answers. Where users have just quoted paras e.g (Presently I remember) some answers say according to Ravishankar...... (Quoted)...answer is over by Saxena.

@NogShine Even if quote or verses from scriptures may directly answer the question, Those are not good answers because OP has nothing to tell!

Nog Shine

@BhargavRao @Pandya @TriyugiNarayanMani @SwiftPushkar We shall discuss about increasing % of answers, voting. What do you say?

@Pandya It is worse when they refuse to add. I came across such answer today. Read Jarasandha and Karna fight answer.

Pandya

@NogShine And I think we have once discussed that. Explanation in OP by her/his own words should be there.

@NogShine we should prefer to upvote answers having explanation from OP over answer having just quotes. Because former shows effort while latter doesn't

Nog Shine

If the topic is boring, we can think of something else. But I think chat event will be good. It helps us to rectify what we are missing.

@Pandya Yes, but if I am the only one doing it, that would give no result. Same with off-topic questions and POB questions. Many are voting to balance downvotes.

@Pandya What can we do about that? Can we flag them as VLQ?

That is not right but what can we do?

Pandya

@NogShine Yes. That would be great. Earlier I thought of increasing % answer, then QPD but recently (for about more than month), I again started thinking on answering. (I don't brother QPD much now :p).

We have two years old post:

Nog Shine

@Pandya QPD is ~7 that is not a problem. I have couple of questions. If I ask, it will be increased.

Q: Let's concentrate on "percent answered" stats!

Our community/site is growing fine but it requires some attention to unanswered questions. From Area51.SE, our site shows 73% answered (1098 questions with no answers) so it needs considerable work: Also visiting the list of all sites according to percent answered criteria gives an idea ...

Nog Shine

You wrote a Q&A pair yesterday that's very good of you.

Pandya

Now, what I think:

If one tries to answer,

S/he will refer some scriptures

And learns

Apart form posting answer,

S/he will find some questions!!

So, there may be chances of indirectly increasing QPD if users focus on answering!!

Nog Shine

yes. It's all cyclic

Pandya

Nog Shine

10:45

30 minutes is enough. If that's long, some may leave in between which is not good. So, we will put it short and focused.

Pandya

@NogShine I once having an idea to recommend users reading scriptures:

A: Happy second year anniversary....!

In order to improve the percentage of answer, overall quality of the answers and ultimately in the growth of users and site as well in terms of information and knowledge on Hinduism topics, We should recommend users to read some important Hindu scriptures that are mostly used. We can also apply ...

So, how about having a chat event on that day or a day before that?

Pandya

Btw, in this discussion, I forgot that you're talking about event schedule and topic @NogShine Choose whatever you like. You may decide after reply from others you've pinged.

@NogShine Occasional festival talk or discussion related to growth of community would be fine.

Nog Shine

Sure.

Pandya

Q: Which verse in rigveda mentions saraswati slaying vritra?

According to Wikipedia- In one verse of a Rig-Vedic hymn eulogising Sarasvati, she is portrayed as the one who slayed Vritra. Mention of this occurs nowhere else.[7][8] I think it's not vritra but son of vritra Vetra with similar name as this story is found in Varaha and Mahabharata to...

Barring any unforeseen technical delays, Hinduism SE is slated to launch in the afternoon (Eastern Time) of Wed, June 18th.

@NogShine What about that temple ?

Why only shiva temples get the strike of thunder?

Nog Shine

@Akash.B I will say that is situated in an area prone to thunder strike

There are many other damages on Basara temple due to thunder strike and heavy rains.

@TheDestroyer which channel? tv9?

YDS

@Pandya *kapla -> kalpa :)

@NogShine Meta topics aren't usually fun, but I like them. ;)

Nog Shine

@BhargavRao The topic is only in defining stage. You may propose new example topics. ;)

@TheDestroyer TV9 XD

@TheDestroyer TV9 has become a joke these days on YouTube and social media. They are disabling comments.

@TheLittleNaruto .

TheLittleNaruto

Bhargav Rao

@TheLittleNaruto nah, I like meta stuff...

Nog Shine

16:34

Tv9 is there in other languages too

Bhargav Rao

It'll be during my exams, so I don't think I can make it.

TheLittleNaruto

@NogShine Oh! Never watched.

Nog Shine

It used to be good but later due to their over action and greed for TRP made them a joke

TheLittleNaruto

I see.

Every news channel are like that nowadays

Nog Shine

DD News is classic

They chose to remain classic. That is the problem :D
