Hi there everyone, is there a moderator that can tell me why my edits on tag "computer-science" were not accepted ? Maybe there were not seen yet, but if there is a problem could you please indicate me what is wrong with them ? I'd just like to avoid making the same error twice. Thank you very much.

Hi @Jalayn, you can ping a moderator to ensure they notice your message by using @username. For example, @YannisRizos and @MarkTrapp are the moderators who usually hang out in here

@Jalayn You can see why suggested edits were rejected by looking at your profile: while your other tag wikis look okay, I rejected your tag wiki suggestion for computer science for two reasons:
 
user2334
1. The example questions you give are pretty bad advice questions, and certainly not indicative of how the tag should be used
 
user2334
2. The tag wiki suggestion advocated using meta tags to be used in conjunction with the tag, which is not how tagging works on Stack Exchange.
 
user2334
teaching and knowledge are pretty vague meta tags that probably should just be killed, and self-teaching looks like it should be merged into self-improvement
 
user2334
There's a few other minor issues, too: you mention Wikipedia, but you didn't quote what you cited from them and didn't like back to them (violation of their CC license), and used code formatting instead of tag formatting for the tags.

@MarkTrapp @Rachel Wow, that's certainly a lot of mistakes! I'll try to get better example questions next time and I'll certainly avoid preaching to use combinations of tags. Thanks for your answers.
 
user2334
No problem: the suggestion process is meant to be a learning process after all. And like I said, your other wikis looked pretty good.

@YannisRizos slightly disappointing reply stackoverflow.com/questions/9349423/…

@awoodland Yes, it seems like a lost cause... Flagged it as not constructive, there seems to be a good question hidden somewhere in there, but can't really find it. If you are really interested in the question, you should just re-ask it here, but make it a bit less open ended... I can think of a variety of patterns that could be of use in larger GUIs (MVVM, HMVC, observer and so on)... But I can't think of a good question :)

@YannisRizos Should be closed instead of migrated, n'est-ce pas? Has four migrate to Programmers votes, which means it's on its way as is unless an SO mod steps in
 
user2334
Nevermind, just got casperOne to short-circuit the migration. If he revises his question or reasks with new info, then great.

@MarkTrapp 4 migration votes? Scary! Thanks for taking care of it...
 
user2334
De nada
