@Natty tp - Though it has since been edited and can be undeleted.
^ Scratch that regarding undeletion. Its author posted a new answer with the same text as the edited version, so the deleted original can stay deleted (and the new answer should simply be kept).
 
1:30 AM
@EliahKagan No action needed. Here is the same new answer up for review in the review queue if you want to review it.
 
It's already out of the queue due to your review. Unlike other queues, the First Posts and Late Answers queues only require a single review.

I've gotta go afk for a while, but my attention has been drawn to this deleted answer. I'll try to look at it in detail later if I have time, but I don't know when that will be. As far as I can tell, it seems like an exceptionally extreme case of a wrong deletion by a moderator.
Also, though this part is not the fault of any moderator, I'm not thrilled with the hostility expressed in comments toward the post author, in which (among other things) the post author is admonished to read a help page that does not actually say what the commenter claims it says.
 
@EliahKagan That answer was deleted by a moderator so I can't vote to undelete it, but for what it's worth it looks OK to me.
 
@EliahKagan O.O
thank you so much for answering that question @EliahKagan
I'm currently reading to too long new moderator agreement
when I woke up I thought oh no, Eliah Kagan has disappeared, I'll have to try and answer that question myself

@EliahKagan I undeleted the answer and commented

The last sentence of OP's comment seems to be written in offended state.
 
6:29 AM
@Kulfy There's a meta question where a similar concern is presented and, in my opinion, well answered. But I'm not sure if commenting there about it would make the situation better or worse. I'll hold off at least for now. I'm not sure I understand the precise nature of the OP's objection to the edit (their comment is not entirely clear), and I'd rather not enter an argument where I don't know what I'm arguing against.
 
Yes. I think engaging there won't be fruitful either.
 
@Natty tp
 
^^ All of the above need 1 last CV.
 
6:56 AM
SE made a "conflict management course" for moderators. They give a situation like the one in that meta question as a quiz question. The "correct" answer is something like Don't edit, don't roll back, don't comment. Contact the user privately and ask what the greetings mean to them

@karel I think it's reasonable to migrate that closed question to Unix & Linux. I've raised a custom flag for it.
@karel Same deal here.
I looked and neither OP seems to have an account on any site where their questions would be on-topic so I don't think they've reposted them. Maybe I should've included that info in my flags.
 
7:47 AM
@EliahKagan Both questions have been migrated to U&L.
 
@karel Apparently that was reasonably answerable, judging by how you've reasonably answered it. :) I've removed my close vote for "unclear." I suspect it might be a duplicate of something.
 
Thanks for retracting your CV.
 
No problem.

@Natty I think that's ok

@Zanna link only answer - usually get purged or converted to comments (the latter of which I just did)
 
2:12 PM
@pomsky Did you mistype GNOME version in this edit summary?
 
2:59 PM
@Kulfy I don't think so. Ubuntu 18.04 came with GNOME 3.28, but to provide the traditional desktop icon handling Ubuntu developers intentionally shipped an older version of Nautilus (v3.26).
What I meant is on an installation of an unmodified GNOME 3.28, Nautilus v3.28 should be included instead, and thus the desktop icon handling would be completely different (no icons at all by default). That's why to avoid ambiguity I believe it's better to say "on Ubuntu 18.04" instead of "GNOME 3.28".
Are there any discrepancies that I have overlooked?
 
Yes you're right. My bad.
 
No problem :)
 
@Natty tp
@Natty fp - NAA because it misunderstands the question, but not reportable to Natty
 
Invalidated the previous feedback on askubuntu.com/a/1257644

@Natty tp
@Natty tp - The version after the edit (in the initial 5-minute window) may be borderline, but the version Natty saw doesn't have the brief summary at the end, so I think that version (viewable in Sentinel) is unambiguously NAA as a link-only answer.
 
@EliahKagan Post already reported
 
no longer needed, wrong canned comment - it's reasonable to delete the answer, but it should not have been posted as a comment instead
 
3:51 PM
I vaguely recall we have something for this.
 
4:24 PM
dupe. Should this question be added to dupe targets?
@EliahKagan That question seems to be a dupe of this question but the OP doesn't have "kept back" in their output.
 
@Kulfy I've closed the question and added that other link as a second target.
@Kulfy Yeah, I think they have a different issue.
@Natty fp - arguably ne
 
5:16 PM
Based on the OP's edit, I think that we should reopen this question and close it as a dupe of this
 
Also regarding the same question, how did it get closed only by @Kulfy and Community? Is it due to a special badge or something?
@Natty fp
 
@user3140225 After a question receives at least one close vote as a duplicate, the OP is informed and has the opportunity to click something that confirms that it is a duplicate. If the OP does this, the Community bot closes the question.
 
@user3140225 Closed by Community means OP accepted the duplicate flag/vote and clicked on "Yes this solved my problem"
 
Ah, yes! I forgot about it. Thank you both.
 
5:26 PM
I'm usually reluctant to cast reopen votes on questions closed as such unless specified by OP that target didn't help and they are still facing issue. I'm not sure how the post mentioned by OP helped since they had issue with repositories configured (output of apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop is the evidence)
 
NAA - I have edited the question to add the output from the answer
 
@user3140225 I assume that you copied the error message from the markdown. Copying and pasting from markdown sometimes mess up the formatting due to single line breaks not recognised in text. Instead copy the text from the editor itself. This way you'll copy original line breaks as well. For now, I have fixed the post.
Additionally <test> was missed due to being recognised as HTML tag
 
@Kulfy Yes and I thought that something was wrong, but got stuck. Thanks for fixing it!
 
5:43 PM
:)
 
@user3140225 FYI I have got a button to convert an answer into an edit :)
 
Jun 14 at 18:20, by jokerdino
I have this button that lets me convert an answer to edit if the poster is same as the question owner.
 
Those superpowers
 
I just mean, of course you can edit it if you want to, but you don't have to, because it can be done very easily
but, nice work and thanks for fixing it
 
@Zanna I was naive to just take the rendered output (I usually am more careful), so @Kulfy did most of the work in this.
 
5:50 PM
:) yes thanks to Kulfy too
 
@Zanna btw I just followed you on twitter (lftpvl)
 
@user3140225 thanks!
 
For a brief period around 2013 I think, I was very active there, but not much these days
@SmokeDetector I think that could use further editing - I just took out the last bit. Going to sleep. Hope OP doesn't roll back
 
7:03 PM
@Zanna A quick question that bothers me for some time. If there is an answer with content similar to an answer that was deleted recently, which said "Try to break some dependencies. It's easy to fix.", should it be flagged as not an answer or as very low quality? I usually flag those as NAA, but I am not sure if this is the correct flag.
 
@user3140225 That answer caught a delete vote from me.
 
@karel Thank you
 
@user3140225 sounds like either would be good for that, but will talk more tomorrow
 
@Zanna Ok. Thank you.
 
@user3140225 This one? (I hope you're able to see from low quality reviews since you've reviewed that post)
 
7:14 PM
@Kulfy This is a similar one.
 
To be noted: Both were posted by the same person
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad ns for domain in answer (74): MySQL: could not get mysqldump version by Javier Mendoza on askubuntu.com
 
Yes, that's the one.
 
NAA seems fine there. Community would have been autoflagged the post for review anyway because of low length.
