And, just for the record, I really dislike the tag. If I were dictator of Math SE, I would burninate it.
@XanderHenderson I will just remind that various issues concerning verification-type questions have been brought up on meta a few times.

Q: Proof-verification and duplicates.

Tobias KildetoftWhen someone posts a question, which asks for verification of their proof of something, the mathematical content of that question will often be a duplicate of another question. Now, in order to help the asker, the question should not be closed as a duplicate, since it is highly unlikely that the...

Q: The problem with proof verification

Asaf KaragilaWhat I am going to bring up is not a new problem. It was hashed again and again and again. It was brought up as far as 2013, and repeatedly almost every year. See 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Some of these questions discuss whether or not it makes sense, or what to do when the supposed proof tries...

A: What do you think is the largest problem facing Math.SE today (July 2015)?

Asaf KaragilaSolution verification and proof critique. This is something I go back and forth with. On the one hand, we should encourage people to post their own proofs, and it is a good thing when you can post a proof, and knowledgeable people will read it and comment. But (1) this has very little archival ...

Q: Is there any interest in a proof proofreading site?

AmadeusDrZaiusI envision a site where people could post their proofs -- either as answers to textbook exercises or revisions of current textbook proofs -- and get feedback on which parts might need improving, and perhaps how this might be done. This sort of site could be useful to a number of people. Namely, ...

@MartinSleziak Yeah, I know. And there is little consensus, and what consensus there is always seems to be against me. :'(
