Then...order something lighter?
 
Too late.
The damage is done.
 
Oh, dear!
 
At least now I am satiated.

Anyone have any thoughts on my answer here? latin.stackexchange.com/questions/6774/…
I feel like it's a little too short and lacking in detail.
 
11:03 PM
@EthanBierlein Looks like a good answer!
It could benefit from explaining the source(s) for its assertions.
Is the website it links to reliable?
 
@Cerberus AFAIK the source seems reliable; it mostly references primary and secondary sources.
 
@EthanBierlein It'd be great if you could track the statement closer to a primary source. At least you could indicate that more detailed citations can be found behind the link or something.
The answer is certainly good. This is just in case you wanted to make it even better, and I have nothing against such endeavors.
@ktm5124 Your Greek meta post has been up for about ten days. Usually I'd say two full weeks, but the evidence is overwhelming in support of your proposal.
 
I added a brief note indicating that there are additional sources behind the link.
 
@EthanBierlein Good! Unfortunately I only have one upvote per answer...
@ktm5124 I have drafted a Greek policy to be posted on meta, but we should first figure out what to do with the current question. Maybe accept the top answer and add the scores (+10-1 and +1-1) to the answer, so that we know the score in future?
Or would it be better to lock it?
None of the triumviri seem to be opposed to expanding to New Testament Greek, given that the questions are about the Greek and not the New Testament.
 
11:24 PM
@JoonasIlmavirta I would accept and lock it, e.g, indicate consensus and prevent further vote changes so that the results can be displayed to anyone viewing in the future.
 
11:39 PM
@EthanBierlein Locking also disables all comments and such, but perhaps follow-discussions should be taken to a separate meta question anyway.
summons moderators
@Cerberus @Nathaniel What do you think about the NT Greek meta post? I think the result is clear enough after some ten days: The folks want it. How should we proceed?
I have a draft for a Greek policy, but it takes a moment fully implement it (on help pages and such).
What should we do with the current post? Should @ktm5124 just accept the positive answer or should we lock it to freeze it?
I suppose freezing is cleanest, but I'm unsure.
 
Normally I'd be inclined to leave it unlocked, but accepting the answer seems reasonable and leaving a comment underneath to say that it was implemented
 
@EthanBierlein Either way, it's going to require some coordination. Only the asker can accept, acceptance is only possible when the question is unlocked, and only mods can lock.
@Nathaniel That actually reminds me of the older Greek discussion. The votes changed significantly over time. It might be good to allow for that here as well.
But I would prefer to record the current score so that it all makes sense to future readers.
 
Unlike a moderator election, which is final (and thus related posts are normally locked), this is something that may shift over time
 
Exactly.
 
@JoonasIlmavirta Right; I don't expect this to change as much as that did, but it was still useful to see how the opinion changed over time
@JoonasIlmavirta Yeah that makes sense too
 
11:48 PM
Although, if anyone wants to change an earlier decision, it's also possible to start a new meta discussion.
@Nathaniel Is it too early to post the Greek policy suggestion on meta now? I wouldn't start promoting it yet, as it's going to take a while to get it right and make it appear in the proper places.
 
This is basically new language that we'll use to update things like our tour and help pages?
 
Yeah. The help pages and tour mention Greek already, but it could be made more specific.
And it'd probably be best to include a link to the meta page were an elaboration and a rationale can be found.
And we'll probably want to update the description of as well.
But before we get there, we'd have to agree on what the Greek scope actually is.
 
@JoonasIlmavirta Okay – you think that that will be pretty uncontroversial, just updating to allow for questions about NT Greek? And specifying no interpretation/exegesis?
