I was faced with this Q and well it belongs to another site as bleeding fingers mentioned, but I can't vote it for that site, only meta is available. could someone explain what is the process of migrating a post ?
not sure it's really a good candidate for migration. as written, it's rather unclear what it's actually asking.
it could well be trying to get an Islamic perspective slash ruling, but that's based on the title (Does Husband's sister have rights on my baby?) and not on anything in the actual question body itself.
if it's asking for a ruling, it would fit here. if it's just asking "what should I do?" then parenting. without clarifying the question, it doesn't really fit in either.
was the reason i didn't go for the threadbare peer support off-topicness
unclear fits though, but kinda tentative about it
This pretty much sums up what Stack Overflow has become. Simple question, likely poorly-researched and/or already asked, lots of short answers posted in the first couple of minutes, half of which start with "Try". — BoltClock ♦13 mins ago
I deleted my answer to a question after someone told me it doesn't answer the question. I had written it with the assumption that the user asking why or how onions can possibly harm angels? But was he only asking for a hadith and source-identification? http://islam.stackexchange.com/a/14555/4058
That was also my initial assumption. so the objection was not reasonable.
Should the tag be edited out then? The question is really confusing! It was first closed as duplicate but reopened on the assumption that it was asking for an interpretation.
well, if you ever met me and stayed with me long enough, you would find that I randomly laugh throughout the day, so I guess while I am online I can randomly get upset ;D
@yasar I cannot find a good one , only in Arabic, all text. So I have a few Arabic videos that you can look at and Insha'Allah understand since they are visual
The second one is the more visual one, it's a channel for various subjects for various grades, the video I linked to is for the fourth grade, I didn't watch all of it but I am hoping because it is for fourth grade its is easy for you
@yasar tell me if you understood them when your done, if you didn't then I'll keep searching
Here is it's youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcRhvOOOoEzmCNB7_D5K6Cw
But note, that it is divided by subject not grade, and under a subject you can find the level, also note that the level is specified in many of the video titles, but not all of them are specified, and if I am not mistaken it goes up to the ninth grade, so if you don't want to scroll through all of it you can just pick one and listen :)

That is the first in-depth explanations about why a beta site didn't graduate
i think a lot of it was just because the polemicists started coming in force and pretty much scared everyone else off.
not enough people knew enough about how Stack Exchange worked to be able to control it, and even the moderators really couldn't handle it all by themselves.
I think main reason we didn't graduate is the very fact that it is a site about Islam which is a very special religion compared to say Judaism or Christianity. Different sects with fundamental differences, political aspects, a very rich colorful scholarly heritage; these all translate to all sorts of irregularities compared to say a site on a field of natural science or even any other religion.
and when questions touch up the most fundamental issues, then users are very likely to shy away from considering it, most probably because they don't think they have any opinion to agree or disagree.
but differences among christian sects are much less serious than in Islam when differences have even political implications.
Another example from my personal experience is philosophical questions which seem to be seldom welcome here despite the fact that Islam has a very rich philosophical heritage.

look, the poster seems to be just looking for an objective answer based on a initial clue from the Quran.
but the question was closed down simply because it invites different answers.
That I think exemplifies the problem I was talking about. Posts that raise fundamental questions for which they may not be readily available and agreed upon answers are closed down for being unclear or being too opinion based.
But that's maybe because there's been so far no conceivable way of handling them within our current means.
why do you think that causes a voting break-down, if votes are cast objectively based on the strength of each opinion? also, a lot of questions about Islam are of such nature.
@infatuated because i've been using this site for coming on two years now, and every time i've seen those sorts of answers on that sort of question, voting has inevitably broken down?
Because Islam in itself is not a very objective phenomena, many verses demand interpretation. a lot hadiths that need to be cross-examined and evaluated against other measures.
then don't ask those questions. ask questions that can actually be answered, not questions which have been argued ad nauseum for centuries without ever reaching an actual answer.
votes are supposed to based on how useful the answer is to the questioner. if people can't even tell how useful an answer is supposed to be based on the content of the question, there's no way to judge how useful it is.
regardless of how fundamentally right it may be or how much one might agree with it.
we've tried the "only vote based on the strength of the answer not whether you agree with it or not" approach for the first year of the site, it did not work.
right, but when we don't even allow any participation by the community by closing down the questions that we deem either as "unclear", or "opinion-based" or etc
and that's often done by the mods.
based on a conclusion that hardly seems to be of any popularity or intellectual/academic worth other than just working on this site.
but I am asking based on which widely/reasonably accepted criteria we label many questions as opinion based. Because, a lot of questions especially in site like this naturally invite a lot of opinions and that as I said is due to the very nature of Islam as a religion.
I mean it's supposed to be a site about islam, then a lot of questions are suppressed that are completely relevant to Islam but some find it opinion-based, which I don't see at all why it is bad.
exactly, that's what I think! I even think that may not be even a problem with the community but the old mods conclusions which I believe is not right.

the fundamental question is if we separated question out and made it very specific in sect X, does that mean that it won't garner partisan voting based on disagreements
we can't bar voting on those questions
what if a person with zero or minimum knowledge of sects came in and asked a question, which could garner a wide array of different answers. would it be right to close it down?
provided OP has actually done some initial-research which is evident in the question
i actually see both unclear and opinion-based with the same lens. the same beast.
where opinion-based is the subset of unclear
that is if you keep the on-topic bullets in front and compare the question with them then it's unclear
doesn't match

If the part about Islamic Law were removed (and possibly made into a separate question for your site?), and then details about how, specifically, the family members are interfering with the OP's role as a mother, then it would be a good candidate for migration.
OP seems passive, plus i kinda like the question. want to see how it would be answered there
@BleedingFingers yeah, but a problem with the community becomes a problem with the site, because that's the community we need to work with.
we tried to start out more "Skeptics" like, and that just didn't work with the community we actually have.
@BleedingFingers yeah, but when it involves splitting the question like that, not really a "migration" issue so much as "OP should focus the current question on the Islamic perspective, and ask a whole new question over there"
if OP is passive, i'm not inclined to do anything but leave it closed; we could work it into something that fits on the site, but I'm not sure if that's what the OP actually wants at all.
