Q: Updating the "existing literary works" close reason to point to Literature SE?

Rand al'ThorOne of the current custom close reasons of Writing SE is: The community has decided that questions about existing literary works, except in a writing-specific context, are off-topic. For more information, see this meta answer. Asking about existing literary works is off-topic on a site about Wr...

@linksassin @prosody-GabVereableContext any thoughts on the above?
 
@AncientSwordRage Seems like a reasonable suggestion. TBH there is a case for an overhaul of all our close reasons. The community has changed a lot since they were originally written.
 
@linksassin TBH I thought it was a default option
and what about the accent tag/closing some of the above as duplicates/editing them to be more distinct?
 
@AncientSwordRage I don't think any of the questions are duplicates. But don't see an issue with creating an accent tag.
 
@linksassin then would you object to me making the distinction clearer in the title?
although, "How to describe accents?" mentions Indian accents the answer doesn't
mmm I may I figured something out

@AncientSwordRage Good morning.
 
@prosody-GabVereableContext mornin'!
 
@AncientSwordRage Is it really rage or just shaking your spear?
 
@prosody-GabVereableContext whatever it is, it's ancient history

@AncientSwordRage Never object to improving questions.
 
@linksassin let's hope they are improved then

@linksassin I guess the rundown by "mods" (said like "cops", but we all liked to watch Cops and know it) is the issue. (I do not know how to address, for closed questions where there was war, if I for example did not like an edit suggestion when I was age 25 over 10 years ago, such a fuss should we cuss...)
 
@prosody-GabVereableContext I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
 
@linksassin I mean, I remember one question I had which had so many mod edits at such a daunting speed, that I may have not accepted a mod edit that worked. Make senser?
 
@prosody-GabVereableContext Usually it's unlikely to actually be a mod. All users have the ability to edit posts. And it's part of the stack model to encourage edits that improve readability, accuracy or general quality of posts.
 
@linksassin Oh I know, some people ask me if I am an undercover when I score in Baltimore's famed public Lexington Market, same as in real life chat room where some people think I am a mod probably.
