Was this question on the HNQ at some point? I can see no other justification for the large number of upvotes (on the question and answers), given that it is essentially a PSQ...

Oh, and it duplicates this question, I think. :\

Ready to reopen? math.stackexchange.com/questions/2823086/…

@CarlMummert Yar... I wouldn't take that question on a date, but it isn't nearly as uncouth as it was before. I've voted to reopen. The accepted answer, on the other hand, is of a style that find to be a poor fit for the stated purpose of creating a repository of questions and answers.

For this one, it happens I can write a pretty comprehensive answer. I try to empathize when questions are edited - compared to the editors who never respond when a question is closed...

Hi @XanderHenderson. Just a quick visit. Checking if my votes can be put to good use. Dinner soon, then sports :-)

Eat well!

I must be on the opposite of the world, as I just got into the office, poured my first cup o', and am now putting together the last bit of lecture for the morning

@XanderHenderson Well you're behind me!!

Heh. It isn't even quite 8 AM yet!

@XanderHenderson Only seconds left... Get to work!

Heh.

@XanderHenderson @amWhy @AlexFrancisco @JohnMa: Still-warm PSQ.

This answer completely misses the point.

@user21820 Why did you just edit a question that ought to be deleted? If you disagree, and just edited to make the question look better, why didn't you say so here?

@amWhy I left a precise comment on that very matter on the question itself.

I also didn't vote to reopen.

@XanderHenderson agreed.

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Username similar to website in answer: How many tubes can you balance in a centrifuge? by Matt Baker on math.SE

I would like to suggest that this question on the "why" of parallel lines be merged with this question on the "what" of parallel lines.

Most of the answers to "why" basically boil down to restating the definition, and the one or two good answers there would also adequately answer the "what" question.

@user21820 Why did you need to emphasize explicitly that "amWhy" voted to close the question, when the OP can see that already, plain as day? I don't understand your sometimes inconsistent actions on questions. That said, you are free to act as you see fit.

@amWhy I'm not being inconsistent here as far as I can tell. The asker (as per his/her last comment) said "amWhy did realize that it is a legit question and tried helping unlike rest who thought else", as if the closure was unjustified. I wanted to point out that I agreed with the closure and that you were one of the close-voters as well.

That's all.

Closing is a separate matter from not helping, and the asker was (in my opinion) clearly conflating the two.

@user21820 Fair enough.

Anyway, I'll be rather busy in the upcoming weeks, so I may not be able to help that much here. I've gone through the starred stuff for now.

@amWhy @XanderHenderson: See you around! =)

@user21820 Okay. Stop in briefly, if and when you can!

Yup!

This question is too broad/PSQ's. Same user did it again immediately prior to the above post, here

@XanderHenderson: thanks again, was able to write a better reference answer to that question about sets of points of continuity

@amWhy Ay, my close votes used up again. I'll cast votes eight hours later if these posts are still alive.

@AlexFrancisco Been there, too!

@CarlMummert What year did Young prove the result?

In any event, +1 on the answer.

I learned something new. :)

Turns out that, during the dark ages, there was one monk who proved a lot of real analysis..

For closure: 1, 2, 3

That kind of question - "characterize the set of points of discontinuity of a function" - is exactly the kind of thing that would have been interesting in the very early 20th century, early descriptive set theory

Deletion?: uno, dos, tres, quatro

Can't remember if I included this post in the four above. If not, it should be considered for deletion.

For those who recall this user who refuses to improve their PSQ's, this question should be closed

This question isn't very great in my opinion. It is overly broad, and it isn't really clear what the actual question is, or how it should be answered.

@XanderHenderson I've met two dozen questions that fit that description in the last few hours, unfortunately. Can't vote or take action until a tad less than an hour from now.

@amWhy As have I. I am very close to running out of votes today, which does not happen very often.
