@EthanBierlein Eu! Eu!

@EthanBierlein I think it's a good contribution!

Of course opinions will vary on any translation.

I was wondering, why both praepono and praevius?

@Cerberus I'm not quite sure why exactly I used both. I initially wrote out the tranlsations without praepōnō, but they didn't seem good to me then; it was sort of that fuzzy feeling of "this doesn't sound quite right".

I don't have any good ideas.

But both words together seemed a bit...pleonastic?

I would agree, especially looking back on them now.

I added two extra alternatives just now, and did a fair bit of rephrasing.

Both of the new ones are rather short; I cut out the redundancy and tried to adhere more closely to the original phrase.

If PRÆVII·NOS·DIE·AC·NOCTE isn't close to the original, then I don't know what is, heh.

@EthanBierlein Hmm but why the "nos"?

Our tour is back to daisies and unicorns, and the mod UI says: "There are currently no viable question candidates for the About page"

Did they change the criteria or did our previous candidates all fall below the threshold?

@JoonasIlmavirta That seems mildly absurd; there are literally thousands of viable questions and answers which could be put there.

Do you have a direct line of contact with the CMs as a mod? I'd message them about that.

@EthanBierlein There are technical requirements for an example question.

We used to have a couple of candidates to choose from, but now there are none, and I have no idea when this happened.

Maybe deleting some old comments triggered this...

You can run this data query to see eligible questions and near misses.

I just edited an old question to make it valid. This one needs a comment on one of the short answers.

Does it matter what kind of comment?

(an aside: that SQL query is absolutely terrifying)

@EthanBierlein Nope, but it should be presentable enough for the tour, preferably. Asking for clarification or linking to related material would be reasonable.

@EthanBierlein It is. I can't really write data queries, but I can make small tweaks to ones that almost do what I want.

I added on underneath your answer (assuming that yours fits the length requirement).

It does.

Sweet!

The system might take a while to react, but we should have something reasonable in the tour soon.

Optumē!
