gis.stackexchange.com/questions/333150/… Regarding this question apart from adding a bounty is there anything else that can be added to the question to elicit an answer ?

@gansub I think that the best way to attract a potential answerer is to keep revising your question to try and make what you are asking clearer. A question where someone has to volunteer a considerable amount of their time trying to understand what it is asking, perhaps trying to reproduce the same result, and then answering will struggle to attract an answer.

@PolyGeo Thanks for your response. Is the question as written hard to understand ? I have merely implemented what is written in the linked answer.

So the original answer is able to attract a lot of votes although it is completely textual. In my case I have illustrated each step of the text as code.

@gansub I suspect so. Otherwise it would probably have attracted an answer by now. Our users all have only a certain amount of time that they are prepared to volunteer and so they will usually gravitate towards those that are clear at a glance.

@PolyGeo Well then I understand. But I am not sure what else I can do. I have just tried to give python code to original all text answer.

How did the linked answer attract so many votes without people asking for proof of the algorithm ?

I mean reproducibility of a result published in a peer reviewed paper itself is a challenge. But that is what I am attempting to do here

In 2012 there was a discussion then campaign to ensure titles were actual questions. I have noticed a number of question titles being edited to change from a clear question to a statement or gerund - i.e. "How to open Open ArcGIS files in QGIS?" becomes "Open Open ArcGIS files in QGIS". There is no corresponding discussion on Meta.

This leads to ambiguity - i.e. is the questioner having issues opening files, do they want to know how to do it, or some other issue?

Perhaps I'm being old-fashioned and this is now the way to write a title?
