Mar 31, 2017 at 15:06 comment added Jim @EmilioPisanty Yeah, I thought that it's still enough for mods to handle, but then I thought that the number of Math.SE migrations is probably enough to handle as well. That kinda made it feel like a hollow argument, so I didn't bother mentioning it
Mar 31, 2017 at 14:13 comment added Emilio Pisanty I'm not sure how I feel about this now - you can argue that 19 vs 39 is enough of a fraction that this should be considered, but you can also argue that it's still plenty manageable by mods (and then further argue that, given that, it's for mods to decide whether that workload is large enough to automate). It's interesting to note, though, that most of the EE rejections were migrated by mods or by users with a lot of SE experience. So, in conclusion, who knows!
Mar 31, 2017 at 12:24 comment added Jim @WRICHIKBASU It may be of need, but I would say the use of the word "great" is something that could be debated. Let's see if anyone wants to weigh in again on this after 2 years

Apr 11, 2014 at 16:32 comment added Jim @DavidZ true enough. I apologize for my generalizations but it was due to an effort to be brief, not due to lack of forethought. I do mean homework-like in all cases, which I shortened to homework. However, as a Q&A site, I'd like to point out that the value of most questions can be interpreted as educational. But I recognize the point you were getting at was "how do I solve this specific problem" questions as opposed to "why is this aspect of the problem solved this way?" or others akin.
Apr 11, 2014 at 7:13 comment added David Z Mod Note that our homework close reason is actually for homework-like questions - anything where the value is meant to be educational. The fact that a question is not homework is not itself a valid reason not to use the homework-like close reason.

Apr 6, 2014 at 17:26 comment added Kyle Kanos @Jim: I concur. I've made a few custom close reasons involving EE.SE, I would not be opposed to that being a full reason for closure.
Apr 6, 2014 at 17:25 comment added Jim @KyleKanos and the answer was "we'll reconsider when compsci.SE graduates". Based on that, it seems discussing EE.SE and others is a fair idea
Apr 6, 2014 at 17:02 comment added Kyle Kanos Several months ago, I asked a similar question with regard to the SciComp.SE site.

Apr 6, 2014 at 15:02 comment added Jim plus I addressed the "too infrequent" part of the answer to that question. No, I agree to the closeness, but I'm clearly asking a question that would require a different type of answer
Apr 6, 2014 at 14:58 comment added Jim @jinawee possible, but I'd be against a "general box". It carries the same problem as the "other box" that we now have
Apr 6, 2014 at 14:56 comment added jinawee possible duplicate of Can the flag for migration be generalized?
