@Jenayah I'm summoned. What's this about?
 
@b_jonas your super long story-ID Q
 
Greetings, Earthlings.
 
@Donald.McLean greetings, Hubble guy!

A: Book about a teen underwater fish farmer?

FuzzyBootsThe cover doesn't match up, but the plotline vaguely does for Dark Life. In a future America where rising seas have claimed much of the land, leaving Topsiders to pack themselves in tiny stacked apartments, some people have taken to the ocean. These pioneers live on the ocean floor, farming...

My question is a duplicate of this
 
@NapoleonWilson joke started due to netflix's mistake

@Named it's the other way around. Your question is better and should be the dupe-target

Q: the last air bender was such a good movie how can they not have finished the movie

Tristian Marie Gauriscoair bender was such a good movie why would they not finish it an amazing story and the acting was really great I would have to say one of the best movies I ever watched I was so taken by the graphics and its a family show how great it was inspirational for the whole family young to old and im 31 ...

@Named actually scratch it, they're not dupes per our policy of only closing dupes when there's acceptance on both ends
In the one you linked OP never came back
no deleted answer
 
@Marvin We need a flag specifically for "Not a question"
 
@Named It's called "unclear what you're asking"
 
It's not letting me say "Very low quality"
 
3:20 PM
But there used to be a "not a real question" close reason
 
@Stormblessed Huh? I could
 
@Named It is a question. It asks "how can they not have finished the movie", which I interpret as asking why they didn't make a complete movie from it, since a complete movie would sell better
 
"You don't have the permission to use this type of flag"
For "very low quality"
 
oO
Did you get declined flags lately?
 
@Jenayah Twice
Not two in a row or anything
 
3:22 PM
meh that shouldn't be enough for a flag hold
 
@Stormblessed I can't see that, that's per user ;)
 
Isn't "very low quality" for answers, as opposed to questions?
 
My last flag was declined, previous two were helpful, previous was disputed, previous was helpful, previous was declined
 
3:24 PM
Declined flags happen, no need to worry much about it, unless you've really got a ton you should be fine. I think maybe you couldn't flag that one because it got closed straight away
 
Welcome to Science Fiction & Fantasy! This might help you to improve your question: [How to ask a good story-ID question?](https://scifi.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9335/how-to-ask-a-good‌​-story-id-question/9337#9337)
Made that so others can copy and paste to welcome new story-id askers
 
I find that pointing the user to the edit functionality helps too, as well as a qualifier on how much info there already is
 
[edit] for those wondering
Can also point them to the [tour]
 
Hey there! That's some good info already but could you please take a look at [these guidelines](https://scifi.meta.stackexchange.com/a/9337) on story-ID, see if they trigger any more memories you could [edit] in? Perhaps the most important ones are - what kind of work was that, a book, a short story, an online post? And when would it have been published? As well as every detail, however minor you might deem it, can help :)
 
3:31 PM
And giving specific suggestions like "you say a long time ago, do you know roughly when that was?" is helpful
Makes you seem less like a robot
Jenayah trying to plug her user id in there :P
 
oh ahah it's still in
 
FWIW @Stormblessed I've already shown that user on the King Arthur question the guide but comments have been deleted after they responded to them
 
@TheLethalCarrot Sure. And I put them in some data.stackexchange.com queries like data.stackexchange.com/scifi/query/951529/longest-answers .
 
Replying to the wrong message there?
 
@TheLethalCarrot No. I'm saying that I'm putting referral links, links that contain my sci-fi user ID, into data.stackexchange.com queries, in the sense that if you run the search, the links in the result will be like that.
 
3:37 PM
Oh gotcha
That's a cheeky way to get some referal badges haha
 
I have a ton of bronze announcer badges by now, ever since they became easy to get meta.stackexchange.com/q/295575/222298
For many of them, I don't even know where I linked to. Mind you, it's possible to get the badge without linking to something, because the referral links just have a plain user ID with no checking, anyone could create them in your name.
It would have been possible for SE to use signed ones that only the logged in user can generate, but they didn't want to do that, perhaps because it would result in somewhat longer URLs.
But I think I get most of the Announcers not from the links on data.stackexchange, but from links in comments and non-SE forums.
 
Gonna whip up that story-ID answer guide

3:58 PM
@Jenayah Alex is confused...
 
@AnkitSharma This is my new favorite word.
 
irregularwebcomic.net/draakslair/viewtopic.php?p=151126#151126 This forum post outside of SE is, I believe, where I got my Announcer badge on RPG SE.
 
@TheLethalCarrot What caused their deletion?
 
Someone probably flagged them as longer needed
 
@Jenayah Seems like unnecessary record destruction
 
4:01 PM
When the question is still hot, yes
 
@Stormblessed No, comments are supposed to be removed once they've served their purpose.
 
@Stormblessed The conversation was essentially going round in circles and they'd added everything they remembered so I removed my comments and flagged the others
 
@Mithrandir i'd argue that while the question is still being eyeballed better to have consistent comment record the clean it up
 
@Jenayah Yeah, seems like we could end up with tons of duplicate comments
 
Normally I leave comments but the nature of the chain wasn't the best keeping around which is why it was deletesd
You can't treat everything the same, sometimes it's best to remove what is there
 
4:12 PM
@Jenayah Ugh. Now I have a really vague memory bugging me, of some kind of (probably SF/F) story where "macarena" played an important and chilling role. I don't remember what role, or what story, or even if it was a book or a film - I just know that the word "macarena" sent a small chill down my back.
 
I'm more surprised you recognize this tidbit of 90s trivial pop culture. ;-)
 
I don't. I think I only know the word from that story ;-)
 
Oh, heh!
 
It's bothering me now though, trying to remember the story. And I've got way too little detail to post it as an ID question.
 
meh we've IDed worse
 
4:24 PM
I'd bet it's still "uniquely identifiable" enough for this site.
 
I don't even know if it was a book or a film, FGS.
I do think it was something short. Possibly a short story I read during one of Literature's topic challenges.
 
Well, count yourself luck there's only a general tag for "stories" then. ;-)
Though, I guess it gets complicated when you don't even know if there were science-fiction and fantasy aspects in it.
 
But I've watched a bunch of short films on Dust (and elsewhere on Youtube) this year too.
 
(But if I remember correctly you also propagated a "if the asker pleads that he promises it really really was an SF&F story, we ought to believe 'em" policy.)
 
It's weird how the tiniest detail, to the right person, is sufficient to ID a story. The trick is getting the right detail to the right person.
 
@Randal'Thor You could ask in Lit chat if someone else knows it then.
@Donald.McLean Like the sardines?
scifi.stackexchange.com/q/189620/4918 ID question with sardines
 
@b_jonas Yeah, exactly like that.
 
@Randal'Thor Revision: I'm pretty sure it was a written story. Because I just realised I'm not certain how to pronounce "macarena".
 
Like it reads
 
4:40 PM
@Mithrandir holy moly. Uff I don't have infinite edit powers anymore
 
@AnkitSharma That must be irritatinting.

Q: Are there any alien species in the TV series Dark Matter?

joeytwiddleI remember seeing a lot of humans in this show, with different backgrounds and motivations, but I don't remember seeing any aliens, which is common in other shows. Are there any alien species? If so, when do they appear, what are their origins, and what kind of sentience do they have?

Q: Are there Male Maledictuses?

Alex DownsIn the description for Maledictuses in the Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts sticker album, it says A Maledictus is a wizard or witch with a blood curse that transforms them into a beast. However, the Harry Potter Wiki says that Maledictuses are only female.

 
Anything specific to look out for?
 
@Alex that's ducking SE system not showing when people voted Unclear what you're asking
 
5:24 PM
@Jenayah But that's not what caused it to be sent to the queue again.
 
Although I do feel like this isn't ... chilling ... enough to be what I was thinking of.
Maybe there's a short story as well :-/
 
Ah, it was probably sent by an edit after it was closed
 
The edit did, like edits do?
 
The edit is from January 17 and it already got reviewed again then.
 
It has a reopen vote on it
 
5:25 PM
Ah, see that's why it helps to pin down what it is that's odd abut the review.
 
That's my vote, and it's also from last week.
Nothing new happened ~15 hours ago.
@NapoleonWilson The oddity is the existence of the review with no apparent cause.
 
@Jenayah +2 for the long and detailed answer. -1 for the audacity of putting your answer next to user14111's when it comes to solving ID :-P
(I kid, of course.)
@Alex @Napoleon There was a reopen vote cast on 17 Jan which aged away three minutes before the post entered the review queue.
 
Uh, wait a second. How is that not a duplicate of this one?
 
I don't know why that caused the post to enter the review queue, but it's clearly the cause.
 
@Randal'Thor A vote aging generates a new review?
 
5:30 PM
@NapoleonWilson Good catch, but I would VTC the other way round since the new one has better answers.
@Alex shrug
 
17 hours ago, by Jenayah
crap didn't I mention the meta thing in that transcript?
 
@Randal'Thor Well, merge 'em over. The question's about exactly the same.
(Though, the new one is also better-phrased really.)
 
@Alex Dunno.

Shog9It appears this has been broken for over two years now...

> A reopen vote is cast when there are no other active reopen votes on the question. Note that this allows for a single question to be enqueued multiple times, provided all votes age away before another one is cast.
Probably something to do with that.
 
No new reopen votes were cast though.
And it doesn't fit criterion 3 because with a score of -10 and only 157 views it could hardly be considered "popular".
 
I dunno, ask on main meta.
I thought I remembered a recentish answer from Shog about a similar review queue bug, but I couldn't find it again now.
 
5:38 PM
Is seeing the aged vote a moderator ability?
 
@Alex I think so. Unless you can see it here?
 
@Randal'Thor No. Any chance you can donate a screenshot?
 
Well, it also shows who voted, and I shouldn't be giving that away.
 
I already know who voted. He mentioned it in Chat.
But you can redact it.
If that's not too much of a bother.
 
If you're going to post about it on main meta, just link to the timeline page and my statement in chat.
 
5:45 PM

Thanks for the corrections @Alex :)
@Alex impressive
 
@Jenayah My pleasure.
@Jenayah Thanks.

Gotta add stuff in that answer though
Also @Randal'Thor maybe this should get featured? After all it's the top tag and probably something lots of people wondered about

@Alex Darn. You had to screenshot my comment about Jenayah and user14111 as well, didn't you? :-P
 
@Randal'Thor I'm a little slow these days.

Q: Animated TV show about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

Jen TibbitsI'm looking for an animated TV show based on King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It came out some time in the 80s or early 90s. It centres around the Table and the Knights.

arieljannaiIn short: No. It's not case-sensitive. First of all, when I searched soc or SoC the results were the same, in the first and second page. So it's weird that in your case they weren't.

Q: Add the option to do a case-sensitive search

user137902I noticed that the search engine does not consider capital letters (just like most regular search engines). However, I have the feeling that in a "coding" context, this could be useful.

Can we get an OOTS feed?
 
@Jenayah You're that enfranchised now? Great! (mwhahahaha)
 
@b_jonas :P
 
We actually have an OOTS feed in a room outside SE. It's not automated, even though it could be, but posted manually by whoever first notices any new strip. That's either out of lazyness about setting up a proper server and we have enough readers that someone always notices a new strip within hours, or for sentimental reasons about what's proper, choose your own answer.
 
What are the chances that I'd see a "next time" trailer for an episode about a team breaking into a bank vault not to steal money but to rescue a (mostly) innocent creature, at exactly the same time as getting pinged on a meta post which mentions the same thing as a metaphor?

Q: Story Identification - Urban fantasy

JasonUrban fantasy book where magic returns to the modern world suddenly. Setting is in a large city (New York?) and has a very disaster genre feel. The protagonist's boss is slowly turning into a dragon. This would have been in the late 90s I think. It's not much to go on, I know.

 
@Jenayah I don't understand. How is that not a duplicate?
 
@b_jonas oh it is a duplicate

^ the one above is in Meta Close queue by the way
as dupe of the new ones
 
@Jenayah For google search in foreign languages, it may be worth noting that that the hl parameter, which tells google search what interface language to use, also influences it heavily about what language websites appear in the search results.
For that reason, I do some web searches from google.com/webhp?hl=en and some from google.com/webhp?hl=hu
 
Which has answers of much higher quality if I do say so myself
 
Same search terms give entirely different results for them.
 
@b_jonas isn't that what setting Google's language does?
 
9:40 PM
@Jenayah Do you say so yourself?
 
@Jenayah It's all magic, so we can't really know the exact effects it has. Google uses a lot of heuristics, including offering your personalized results because it knows who you are. But it's definitely among the uses.
 
I linked to support.google.com/accounts/answer/… because I was lazy to explain step by step myself (I came to do that for story-ID answering, not Google :P )
But I usually go to Settings - Set languages and stuff
@Alex kinda?
 
@Jenayah Reminds me of my comment:
This appears to be the same question as the one I closed it as a duplicate of. I closed this one because the answers to the other question cover more. (Full disclosure: one of the answers is mine.) — Alex 2 days ago
 
I just have bookmarks for google web search and image search in both hungarian and english on math.bme.hu/~ambrus/sc/red , or change the hl parameter in the url if I want to switch
The disclaimer is that I'm not good at story-id, and don't generally do web searches to answer story-id questions, but I do use google's web search for lots of other things.
 
@b_jonas well, there's a handy guide above with a lot of tips on how to story-ID search :D
Yes, I am proud of what I wrote, and tell me if I'm being annoying about that.
 
9:45 PM
@Jenayah Yeah. I should consider doing it for SFF books at least. Not for anime questions or Harry Potter fanfic story-id questions, mind you.
 
@Jenayah That reminds me, we haven't heard your first answer story in a while.
 
ahah
indeed
 
10:15 PM
@b_jonas anime-ID is a pain
HP fanfic-ID is eye bleach but more searchable provided the OP remembers a bit more than something that literally came up in 88 fics
 
@Jenayah Sure, but many anime id and other story-id questions are like that too, giving too few specific details.
 
> Anime-ID is one of the most painful identifications there are, because from what people forget, it appears that the anime production is 40% mecha, 40% summoning monsters, 20% something else. (these statistics are mostly headcannon, but still.)

There are tons of summon/mecha/robots animes and I can't really provide guidance to search those (other than "good luck, have fun"), but some of them tend to come back a lot:
>
summoning monsters: Magi-Nation (9 results!), Huntik (5), Redakai (4)...
mecha/robots: Evangelion (7 hits), what else? (please edit)

It's good to know which ones come up the most, because this way, you can read the new "summoning monsters" anime-ID, cringe at how unsearchable it looks, remember the 4-5 most commonly IDed ones, and go browse their Wikias to see if they involve the one "unique" bit in the new question.
 
@Jenayah I see.
 
For the record in my 5 anime-ID answers one was something I knew, one is something I found (but turned out to be Magi-Nation), one is a Huntik I self-plagiarized, two are something I found a dupe for
Kind of the same figures for my 8 cartoon-ID answers actually: 3 Huntik, 1 Magi-Nation (the same, actually), two I spotted somewhere else on the site (Linus et Boom/ Bleu l'enfant de la terre), one I IDed yesterday, and one I knew beforehand.
Hmmmm. Now I want to draw some statistics to sort my answers into 4 categories:
> 1. I found the thing by Googling/browsing SFF
2. I remembered the thing from a previous ID of mine
3. I knew the thing beforehand
4. I expanded a "I found it, it's ___" comment into an actual answer
 
I have one story-id where I remembered a duplicate. The one about the Good Work.
It's hard to forget, it's one of those stories that have come up in story-id several times, just like the Last Question.
 
10:29 PM
Oh by the way fellow TREUers, if you know some of the most commonly IDed short stories/books/movies etc don't hesitate to edit them in
hmmmm should we rather make several "commonly IDed" answers so that it's easier to browse?
 
@Jenayah Have you ever answered a question where you read the question first, and later randomly stumbled upon an answer and you remembered the question and went back to answer it?
Because that just happened to me with a non-story-id question, the Scooby Doo one.
 
@b_jonas at least once:

On the other hand I had my eyes on the now-kinda-dupe since it looked searchable but didn't find it

Possibly related: Post-apocalypse book/short story about a man who is a clone of one of the last humans guy with amnesia wakes up in a jungle, has "abilities", talking animal acting as a guide (could match the robot companion), eventually discovers he's a clone (similar timeframe too) — Jenayah Sep 22 '18 at 8:13

Shadow WizardI took the query in this other answer and cleaned it up a bit, making it more generic: Select Top 5000 Id As [Post Link], CreationDate From Posts Where Tags = Lower('<##Tag##>') Order By CreationDate Desc SEDE query.
