When a post is locked comments and edits are disabled. If a user has less than 20 rep the user cannot participate in chat. How can a user with low rep address a question of theirs which is locked?
I haven't done much with the SE data explorer (or data dumps), but I know some of you have. All the queries I've seen are for within one site; does anybody know if cross-site queries are possible? Like, is it possible to "join" users across sites to answer questions like "users who liked site X also liked..."?
I don't have specific queries in mind; I'm wondering about what's possible (which could feed into a little side project...).
@IsaacMoses @msh210 I seem to recall that you've some experience with SEDE. ^^^ (Nothing urgent.)
@MonicaCellio No way to do that in the SEDE, I'm pretty sure. I'd imagine you could do select * from [tablename] on two sites in the SEDE and then do it offline; and for all I know there may be some way to do it online not in the SEDE (though I'd think I'd 'a' heard of it).
@msh210 so if, hypothetically (cough), one were to pull the data from the data dumps for multiple sites into one DB and query that instead, would it be possible to connect linked accounts? User name can change from site to site, so can't rely on that.
(Plus, not guaranteed unique.)
Also interested in any brainstorming of other multi-site queries that might be interesting.
@MonicaCellio Right. You'd need to make a new table that relates people between the sites. (Of course, SE has such a table, but if it's publicly available I dunno where. A script can sift through the sites to populate the table, I suppose.)
@MonicaCellio Eh? I can have one account on MY associated with two different accounts on ELU?
@msh210 I meant that names aren't unique -- lots of "Joe"s or "John"s or the like. But how do you have multiple ELU accounts connected to one network profile?
There are many questions on the site asking about 'parameters', such as:
What are the parameters of Kiddush ha-shem?
The Parameters of Hakaras HaTov?
What are the parameters of Tircha D'Tzibbur
What are the parameters of kavod ha'brios?
What are the parameters of 'minhag yisrael'?
Now some of...
This question which asks about the origins of the Al-Qud International Day and how it is related to Islam was closed for being off-topic on the pretext of being related to muslim culture or behavior and unrelated to the study of Islam.

@user613 Also, even if you don't award them, if an answer was posted after the bounty was offered and scores more than net +2, that answer is awarded half the bounty.
@Islamway I think Jews know that there are people in the world who don't like them (or Israel in lieu of them). The question as asked wants to know how that specific day dedicated to such a cause came into being and what it's legitimacy is. I am not bothered by the question, and I'm not sure why any Jew would be. The answers it would solicit, on the other hand, would probably be a very different story.
(The logic of the linked meta-post is someone silly. It is not comparable to the question about G-d on an atheist site - it would be more like a question asking "why do we object to the existence of Theists" on an atheist site. But as I mentioned, I don't think the question itself is offensive anyways, it is just curious.)
I would also note that in this specific case, the question seems to have been the soapbox for the answer. That shouldn't disqualify questions, but if that's what the site finds necessary to prevent offensive material, that seems legitimate to me.
Moderators, @msh210 @MonicaCellio and @DoubleAA -- someone posted an answer (judaism.stackexchange.com/a/41236/5323) to a question of mine that belongs better on another question....could/should this question be migrated to the question that it actually answers?
@Yishai I just had the same thing happen to an edit I was working on for a few weeks! It was to your techiyas hameisim question. I don't know if I have the patience to redo it.
@Yishai I was actually considering just offering to email it to you (so I don't have to write it all nicely and coherently like I would have to do for an answer)
So I noticed (currently true of this question) that when the asker answers their own question and accepts that answer, this does not push the answer to the top.
What is seems strange to me is that if the votes on the accepted answer are equal to the other answers, it would seem that being the ac...
