I edited this question to remomve the reference request issue and think it should be reopend now.
At a first look, one could think that the question still asks too many things in a too incoherent manner, but Mitchell Porter was able to correctly understand the question.
To me, asking about tw...
@Ϛѓăʑɏ βµԂԃϔ I think a short friendly remark here and there in a question does not any harm, on the contrary it makes the site look friendly ;-). There is no need to remove them all ... — Dilaton2 hours ago
I edit a lot of posts every day. I often run across posts with 'Hi' and 'Thanks' on the top and the bottom of the post respectively. I also run across things like:
--User
Should these items be removed during the editing of the post by an editor?
Basically, there isn't any need for signatures (due to the usercard), but thanks is usually OK. I do remove it, however, but I don't just remove it, I try to fix other things as well
I'm being followed and down voted by a user on chemistry SE. He answered Computational Bond Dissociation Energies and Bond Energy but failed to prove the answer was correct with a link and I couldn't find any official support for the function I seek. So I unaccepted his answer and down voted as h...
@ManishEarth ah, we had a severe case of this on WP the other day, as in ongoing for months, and the team basically said 'suck it up', we almost lost a good member because of it :/
Are we allowed to ask questions that pertain to the application of physics on this site? For instance:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Bowstring Truss Bridge?
Or is there a different Stack Exchange Site for more engineering-oriented questions?
@ManishEarth Yeah, it was beyond just that though, it was stalking through all questions and answers, degrading the user again and again, picking them out and trying to find things wrong with everything they did,
I have jimmied up a pool heater from an idea on YouTube, but just expanded it. I have a water line of 2" PVC, piped down to 1/2" copper, so it can run through a coil, then increased back to 2" PVC, and re-connected with the original pool hose of 2".
Will this keep the constant pressure that i...
@ManishEarth I'm not sure it's on topic for us, and I thought the OP might get a better explanation of what's happening from a physicist than a contractor.
The Q&A site philospohy.stackexchange.com doesn't seem to exist…yet.
You can vote for it to be created through our democratic, community-driven process at area51.stackexchange.com, or see a complete directory of all our Q&A sites at stackexchange.com.
@Tester101 I'm guessing the OP's goal is not to understand the theory behind why water pressure would drop in a pipe, but just to figure out if it does. Which makes it more the kind of thing that would go on your site. On Physics we always expect the askers to be interested in the "why".
@Qmechanic, could you have a look at this issue too, as an uninvolved (but certainly knowledgable in the relevant physics topics) arbiter? I and Mitchell Porter (who maybe even has an answer?) would like the question to get reopend (even though the OP is probably no longer that interested in it) whereas David says it should be left closed. It still picks me that such a nice high level technical question can not get reopend :-/.
Prathyush is interested in seeing answers too. So in summery we have two people who agree with David's point of view (leave closed) and three people who like to reopen...
