Hello! o/

Zanna

morning :) how are you today?

Niitaku

Fine, thank you. :) And you?

Zanna

very good thanks, although feeling slightly bad about eating half a bag of chocolate chips from the packet instead of baking something with them haha

Niitaku

What do you think about this question? vegetarianism.stackexchange.com/questions/474/…

Zanna

I voted to close as too broad

but I'm not sure

Niitaku

09:49

Yeah, I feel the same. But don't know the good reason. Too broad or POB? :|

Zanna

I think too broad

it's trying to be a big-list question

but maybe the list is not going to be that big shrug

maybe it is ok!

Niitaku

Yes. I think the linked question is similar, but hasn't been closed. It may be kind of unfair to close the latter, no? Even if I think it is a bit too broad. :|

Zanna

yes, that was something I thought of too

but no answers yet... why is that do you think?

Niitaku

10:04

It can be because:
- some users haven't seen it yet
- some others find it too broad and therefore hard to answer in a good way, but haven't necessarily voted
- or people that think it is a duplicate while it is not

In fact, I don't really know ^^"

Oh, by the way, thanks for answering to the duplicate flag on my last question.
I felt bad to answer it myself. I really don't like to hurt people.

Woow! Just realized it has 4 close votes for dupe?!

They just see it's about cheese and say it's a duplicate. They didn't see I talk about vegan cheese for a specific meal : pizza, and not about any vegetarian cheese. :(

Zanna

yeah people are either clueless or not reading properly. Very annoying

@Niitaku ah I appreciate having nice gently people like you around :)

Niitaku

10:28

@Zanna Thank you, I'm really touched :) I think the same about you. :)

@Zanna My question is now closed as duplicate...
http://vegetarianism.stackexchange.com/questions/444/is-there-a-vegan-cheese-i-can-use-for-pizzas

I can see the names though

Zanna

hmph well now we can reopen it

Niitaku

I confess I'm surprised by at least 1 person

Thx for your vote :)

Zanna

sometimes people just don't read very carefully. I've made plenty of mistakes myself. And some people may have made a mistake due to not actually being veg*n or only just starting out

Niitaku

Yeah, you're right

Q: Improve other people's answers! Add scientific references!

We have some excellent answers that substantiate their claims by adding peer-reviewed, scientific articles. This is especially important when answering questions about facts, i.e. questions regarding nutrients and environmental impact, as opposed to questions asking for e.g. substitute recommenda...

Riker

15:01

@Zanna hahaha we answered at almost exactly the same time

with the same view on the matter

Zanna

oh mine was the only answer when I closed the tab

+1 to yours

Riker

same

Zanna

I'm not sure that the automatic chat creation thing is working yet...

Riker

@Zanna yeah, mine was a bit after. After I submitted mine, I saw the little "1 new answer" thing

@Zanna it is, you just need a really long string of comments

Zanna

haha that bar always freaks me out

@Riker on AU it gets triggered after about 8 comments

but no matter how many comments I put on that Vitamin A answer I never got the link

Riker

15:10

yeah

that's more of a special case though

Zanna

it was, but I don't know what about it would stop the link from being triggered - the person has enough rep to participate in chat

Riker

hm, true

Zanna

shrug I guess we'll figure it out later :)

Riker

yeah

Zanna

15:43

quiet today, but the whole network seems so

I should try to answer some old questions :)

Niitaku

Nice question on meta @Zanna :)

Yes, a bit calm today ^^

Zanna

@Niitaku thanks :)

do we need the animal-products tag? seems a bit meta

LOL.

Hi everyone

Why can't I see any questions here ?vegetarianism.stackexchange.com/questions

Riker

@Zanna I don't think so

LOL.

It is showing to first log in

Riker

15:46

@LOL. are you logged in?

did you commit to the private beta?

if you did, then you need to click the link you got in the email

if you didn't, you can't access the site yet

Niitaku

@Zanna I don't think we need it neither.

LOL.

@Riker not to this site vegetarianism.stackexchange.com/questions

Riker

did you commit to the area51 proposal?

if you didn't, you have to wait 2 more weeks

Zanna

I've untagged. We probably need some more specific tags...

Riker

it's still in private beta right now, meaning only those who committed can join

Zanna

15:49

I thought getting to public beta was conditional rather than time based... or that's what my favourite mod told me...

maybe I misunderstood him

Niitaku

I though the same @Zanna

Riker

it's 3 weeks at the minimum

and generally most sites make it out at 3 weeks

Zanna

ahh that makes sense. But we better make sure we make it :)

Niitaku

I agree :)

LOL.

Q: What can we do to make this site inclusive and welcoming and relevant to folks from all cultures?

I answered this question: Why is egg commonly allowed in vegetarian food? and a later answer alerted me to the fact that my answer was culturally specific. This question thus provided an excellent opportunity to mark and attend to the differences between ideas about vegetarian practices and eth...
