@JoséCarlosSantos @vitamind The questions you shared, both of which had four to five up votes within a minute or so of being posted, were by the same user. The first was closed and needs three downvotes for deletion, the second needs two close votes and three downvotes. This could be a pattern, we'll have to watch this.
IMHO this question can be closed as dupe. I have mentioned target in comments, but this belongs to the category of abstract duplicate so that the asker needs to map it. Let me know if it is appropriate to close as dupe.
Looks we have "another" no-rep-anywhere user lurking in our chat. They should know they can access the trascript, and not be detected here. Likely another sock.
@D.Thomine I agree that it is rather pointless, but if it improves the post in terms of formatting, we need to accept the edit, but we don't have to approve the question or post that was edited. I have many times downvoted the very post being edited, but accepted the edit.
@D.Thomine I does indeed strike me as pointless. But some users are desperate to earn 2 points for edits (up to a user reaching 2K in rep), that they search far and wide for anything at all to suggest an edit on.
@D.Thomine No problem! You brought up a very good problem.
@amWhy: I had discussed this question to be closed as dupe, but the dupe target was more of an abstract duplicate and hence I wanted opinion. Then @JoséCarlosSantos closed it as dupe. I now see you have reopened.
@amWhy Popular Telugu folk song, made into a nice little movie song by a great composer. Real hit, it's basically asking two ladies whose names are Chinnamma and Chilakamma "see, a PSQ!" (pointing somewhere, probably at a PSQ!)
@Paramand Singh: it looks like a complete dupe, but on the other hand, the answers to the target don't seem very easy to adapt to the dupe (which rely on relatively easy computations thanks to the small degree, the last one is not complete).
@ParamanandSingh It is clearly a dupe. When I reviewed it in the reopen queue, I failed to read the reason for its initial closure. Because the question was asked at a higher level than a PSQ, I voted to reopen, and didn't know that dupe hammered it open. I feel terrible about that now!
I will now be much more attentive to read the reason for initial closure, when evaluating posts in the Reopen queue. Again, that was my mistake.
Small question: Assume I have a tag-gold badge, take complex analysis for example. (I don't have any yet so this is just a general question). Let's say I see a clear duplicate, which is not tagged as complex analysis but I'm also familiar with the content of the question and therefore it's tag (real analysis for example) but I do not have a gold badge for real analysis.
Would editing the question and adding "real analysis" to the tags and then close this question as a dupe be okay or would it be considered as playing the system? (Of course after that action one would have to remove the tag.) I can clearly see that this question has pros and cons but at the end I'd like to hear what you think and/or do if someone does this.
@vitamind No, that won't work, when editing to the tag one has gold in, one is not eligible to dupe-close unilaterally. However, I think others who have not edited the tag, may appear if they of a gold badge in the tag someone else edited, to dupe close. But I'm not sure on the latter. I know for certain, that the user editing to a badge they have a gold badge in, cannot close it with a dupe hammer. Your vote will still count as a vote to close as a dupe, though.
@MattSamuel That is likely true. I was merely informing the user, in terms of their specific question. But I appreciate your expanded information, and I wish you'd have pinged @vitamind instead.
@vitamind Please note @Matt's comment above.
@MattSamuel There, I did it for you. It seems you prefer to take opportunities to correct me.
@SmokeDetector Answers there are answers to a question asking for websites helpful or instructive wrt to their interest in math. Links, in such a case, are perfectly appropriate.
