@l ' Can you please change your name to something with only letters? Writing it now in the possessive becomes very complicated: judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/3326/…

@DoubleAA Can't be done since the user's gone
 
Yeah
 
@HodofHod So why not just delete it?
 
@DoubleAA I might still.
 
@HodofHod I don't have an option to vote to delete, so let this count as my having done so. It doesn't answer the question at all.
 
3:13 AM
@DoubleAA Agreed.
@DoubleAA ....and done

Q: What is our attitude to "list questions"?

Shmuel BrillThere are a few questions on this site that are in the form of "List all ...". Are these questions on topic? Are there other extant Chabad groups besides Chabad-Lubavitch? Founders of Jewish movements Accurate list of Gedolim List of Techelet Wearers At first glance, they are just requests ...

@msh210 @Will I agree. Editing ability is there in perpetuity precisely so that the community can keep content current. I think that updating outdated information as it happens to cross your path is exactly the right way to approach this.

@DoubleAA I cannot, at least until April the third; there's a limit on changing your name. Either way, now that the community has graciously helped me with my project and thanks to your (the royal you) help I was able to translate all those yiddish and transliterated English phrases, this issue shouldn't be relevant much longer.
 
@l Does the majestic plural (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_plural) exist beyond the first person plural pronoun?

@AdamMosheh you phrase that question as if I care... :P Your wikipedia entry seems to say that I used that expression in a completely wrong manner, but wikipedia does have this disclaimer where they tell the world that they do not offer professional advice and should not be relied upon for practical manners so I recommend that you CYL(O)G before making me apologize for my
awful grammar.
 
6:42 AM
@l You know, Vram, you are welcome to hang around even after that question is answered, although I would appreciate a few more consonants...
 
@l @Vram - Fascinating, because mi.yodeya also has a disclaimer of a similar persuasion.

@AdamMoshe no surprises here that wikipedia plagiarized: I heard they actually DISCOURAGE original research and other content...

@DoubleAA re judaism.stackexchange.com/posts/6593/revisions I was thinking of the minhag tag as for things that vary by community or the like and the halacha tag as for things that have been accepted even if they are technically minhagim. You differ, I gather?
 
5:43 PM
@msh210 It would have been better if I had cited this: he.wikisource.org/wiki/…
@msh210 Yes. I have thought minhag is for minhagim and halacha is for dinim. Ie I would tag chavatat arava as minhag.
@msh210 But your rule is OK as long as it is agreed by the community AND clearly defined as such in the respective tag wikis.

@msh210 ברוך שכיוונת!! judaism.stackexchange.com/revisions/10766/2 :)

@DoubleAA Right... I don't know what people think of the two tags. We can bring the issue to meta I suppose.
@DoubleAA :-)

@DoubleAA @msh210 I think I've always seen as having both of these senses: non-"Halacha" customs and practices that vary by community. Actually, I think these concepts are linked, and it's no mere coincidence that they share a term.
 
9:21 PM
@IsaacMoses So what do you think of the minhag tag on this question in light of the shulchan aruch here?
