Landing gear tag chat

Hi!

briligg

Hi. Is there something wrong with it?

Deer Hunter

The tag is OK.

briligg

then how may i be of service? :)

Deer Hunter

The only minor issue seems to be the question (space.stackexchange.com/questions/1997/…) you re-tagged.

:)

I may be nitpicking, but the Q seems to be about landing modes, not gear.

briligg

hm.

landing gear is a recognized term

Deer Hunter

22:59

Yup, it is.

briligg

i can't think of anything that covers all the options other than that, though landing-mode is a good catch all i'm not sure it would work.

is landing-mode used?

Deer Hunter

Landing is the umbrella term, I reckon.

briligg

i suppose. i thought landing gear would be a way for people to search more specifically. I haven't looked around and found other questions that would apply to it, but i figured there must be some.

Deer Hunter

I read somewhere on the main SE Meta that if a term comes up in an answer (as part of the solution) then there's no need to retag. If it appears in the Q it's fair game.

Maybe I'm overthinking this.

Q: Why don't the Space Shuttle's tires explode in the vacuum of space?

According to this NASA article the tires are inflated to 340 psi (main gear) and 300 psi (nose gear). At landing, there is significant strain, but what about in space? Are the tires exposed to vacuum or are they in a pressurized compartment? It seems like the stress of being in a very cold and n...

(in the latter case, the 5 tag limit comes into play, it seems)

briligg

i don't thing adding the tag is destructive... i noticed today a set of tags is displayed that are 'yours' when you - do something i can't remember

@DeerHunter nice, two candidates already

i'd probably ax the technology tag of the tire one and replace it

You are doing it OK, and tag editing is a fine way to make the site better.

I was slightly uncomfortable on the Europa question, though.

briligg

i'm trying to get used to it. i have the time to do things like this and i think it is one of those things that can have a subtle effect.

alright

Deer Hunter

technology probably needs some cleanup or nuking...

briligg

i don't like to see questions, especially good questions, with only two tags. i'd prefer a slightly wonky tag than a lack of tags.

imo

Deer Hunter

:)

I'll post a meta Q to canvass on technology.

briligg

it's probably another case of something that could be said better. i believe i've used it once or twice.

maybe it would be a good one to call up and look to see how it has been applied.

Q: Do we need the {technology} tag?

I just noticed we have a technology tag. It's excerpt states this: Questions relating to the use of technology to further space exploration. I'm wondering what the community's opinion is on this tag - it seems to me like it is almost intrinsic - there isn't much space exploration not having...

briligg

ha. gotta learn to properly search like that. i underestimate how much has already been covered. :P

Q: Blacklisting and nuking [technology] tag?

Related (I'll be glad if it's considered a dupe, but the other Q did not specifically ask for blacklisting): Do we need the {technology} tag? Counted 47 questions with the tag: https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/technology Rationale: a large part of space exploration is based on t...

briligg

i'll take this all under advisement. it is hard to get a sense of what our core members are thinking. i appreciate that you contacted me.

Deer Hunter

Okay, done. Thanks for bearing with me!

TildalWave

wow we have a new room that's more active than the Pod Bay?

briligg

23:25

:D

ain't i proud...

TildalWave

so you talked it over right?

I reverted that question to previous revision

briligg

yeah, i saw.

alright...

TildalWave

Mark only chose the term "landing gear" in his answer to illustrate a point, but that's not even an issue there. Also, (just reading up now), Deer Hunter's point here (about tags from keywords in answers) isn't the biggest concern. I think a bigger one is narrowing the scope of the question too much with them.

briligg

hm.

TildalWave

I actually did one such retag recently where I included a tag OP might not have thought of, and was perhaps more relevant to the answer than to the question. That "drake-equation" one that you answered. But it kinda worked anyway, I got no complaints.

I wasn't sure that's a good thing to do either.

Anyway, why is this chat room created as a gallery one?

And shall I move all this to the Pod Bay?

briligg

23:31

oh, i don't know. deerhunter did it.

TildalWave

OK then he might have had reasons. Didn't see him in chats for a long time. Shame

briligg

in fact he pinged me to enter it through a comment, in the moon hoax q on meta.

my connection went down or i actually would have tried to tallk to him more

people don't realize my connection is constantly interrupted

TildalWave

want me to write to your ISP?

Don't they realize this is important??

briligg

howzzat? :P

yeah...

TildalWave

My Spanish isn't all that great anyway, I thin network is redes?

briligg

23:34

yep

TildalWave

OK I'm out of here. I'll try posting an answer to Hunter's question

briligg

alright. i'm going to take a look at the technology tag list and provisionally try a couple of retags.
