Q: What does this mysterious quote mean?

8906335678Nobody has any conscience about adding to the improbabilities of a marvelous tale. Nathaniel Hawthorne

grammar
This is a good example that I think we can't write a descriptive title without repeating the entire quote, which will make the title very long.

I'm looking for a good way to fix the title.

It's the entire question, and it fits in the title.

Makes sense. I thought it could be too long, but it's not that long, apparently.
Thanks!

@DamkerngT. A good example of a bad question.
 
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Aww... I thought it could be a good example of title editing.

The thingies related to title are still here. :)
@Dam I think I've got the hang of how should the work be divided.
 
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Oh, I see!
Tell me more about your idea.
 
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

Since computing the amount of workload is next to impossible,
we'd do it search-based.
We'll start with buzzwords.
For instance, I'll search title:difference and sort results by newest.
Then I'll ask
@Dam how many titles do you want to handle?
You give me a number. (e.g. 50)
And the first fifty results are gonna be yours to handle.
No one else will touch them, and whenever in doubt, you can ask how to write a better title here.

500.

Damkerng T.
Do you mean the number of titles I have to inspect or edit?
 
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
Inspect.
 
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Oh, I could do more, I think.
50 should be okay.
But wait, we'd be in the chat session too, right?
 
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
We can't find out that for instance outta 100 titles, how many need editing.
@DamkerngT. Yep. We'll first divide, and then anyone who has a question about whether a title can be better or how it should be better, can ask here.

I wonder how many pages ELL will be flushed down that day.
 
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

The event will go on everyday.
I'm thinking till the schools start I'll be able to do at least two thirds of the work.
So, @Dam if 10 people help, and it be 30 qpp, we'll get 300 questions done everyday. And assuming we have 18900 questions till that time, it'll be 63 days. Oh crud.
Hmm, so we should cover more. I'm thinking I should be doing more work.
@Dam do you have any suggestions on how we can improve this?
 
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
More examples would be nice.
We could share how we edited some titles with others.
I mean, among ourselves.
 
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
This could be a nice platform for that.
But how would that help?
I'm looking for a way to get this done.
 
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
I mean, the more we see our peers do it, the more we will edit it the same way.
That's how de facto or informal standards in a workplace are formed.
 
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M
Hmm, so you're saying that way qpp will be increased?

@Maulik first, two requests: Please tag the title FAQ as featured; I want all the ELLers to see it. Second, please unfeature the election questionnaire.
@MaulikV It doesn't.
I'm in almost the same time zone. :)
 
Maulik V
Maulik V
'Unfeture' done!
Oh, I see

I'm from Iran, and @Dam is from the land of Thai.
I wanted it to be a timezone in which many could participate.

It'd be 8-11 a.m. in the US during the event.
It'd be 19:30 here.
So it must be 20:00 or 21:00 there.
 
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Oh, I didn't know that we can register ourselves on the event!
 
Maulik V
Maulik V
yes... tomorrow
and it reads 'starts' tomorrow... does not define the 'end'

@MaulikV It will happen everyday until we get the job done.

@StoneyB When you register, you'll get a notification so that you won't forget TCE.
No biggie.
