It does not! An early version of this site had the following important disclaimer at the top, in red: Like Wikipedia, mi.yodeya makes no guarantee of validity, and does not offer professional (...
The community has generally accepted the following jargon guidelines.1 They're not hard-and-fast rules, but should be considered by users when posting and when editing others' posts. When writing ...
That's a good question, but it's been asked already here on Mi Yodeya Meta. Now, suppose this answer I'm penning is unclear to you or incomplete. Wouldn't it be better for me to write it as an answer ...
I nominate the question: Implications of Samoa skipping a Friday Currently our lowest-scoring question, it has two major flaws: It refers to "the island of Samoa", when in fact Samoa comprises ...
The (unselected) checkmark next to an answer looks very like a down-arrow. Perhaps the left arm of the checkmark could be shortened, or its right arm lengthened, so they are more dissimilar in length....
I want to nominate my answer to to worst post contest because it doesn't actually fulfill the criteria because its on meta not MY itself and is ptij which was explicitly excluded and is written really ...
There is already such a rule in the FAQ (and also in the old FAQ): If you see misinformation, vote it down. Add comments indicating what, specifically, is wrong.
Although it is true that readers should be wary and evaluate others' content, anything known to have been posted by a missionary is so suspect as to bear deletion. (Naturally, I will not, in my role ...
Questions asking for a practical ruling (p'sak halacha) are off-topic. For practical advice consult your rabbi. Try to broaden the question so it applies to a wider audience, such as by asking what ...
I agree that, for the reason you mention in the question, users should avoid goy (and goyim and goys) except in transliterated passages. This is true in titles, questions, answers, and comments. (I'm ...

Yes, it is wholly appropriate to edit questions so that they refer to Jewish translations, unless the non-Jewish translation is essential to the question.
The PTIJ questions are supposed to be in jest, yes, but that doesn't mean they're exempt from all the other requirements of a Mi Yodeya question. Thus, they should include enough background info for ...
status-completed This has now been implemented: 12/6/17 Yes, we should. Without a designated close reason users don't know how to express their opinion on the matter in an effective way. The text I ...
This answer post is here solely so people can up- or downvote the statement below. It's not clear to me that that statement is already site policy (though it may be); if not, votes on it may cause it ...
Another thing (besides the other answers here, I mean): If you are asking a question about a Bible (Tanach) text, and it's not necessary (for your question) that you use a particular translation, ...
Yes, but only if the asker's presumption of A actually affects B. For example, suppose someone asked: I know kidush l'vana (said each month in the first half of the month) cannot under any ...
You haven't offered any examples from on-site. The hypothetical example you give — Why exactly does the verse (Gemara, etc.) have to say this? It could have said that? Nothing is extra, so ...
I think the "Ask Question" link atop each page should be highlighted relative to, or at least look different from, the other headers on its line, since it is semantically different.
Modern versions of MS Windows, Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and, I'm guessing, other (at least modern) OSes have a "character map" program that will allow you to select Hebrew letters (and vowels) one at a time ...
Yes, it does. This is apparent from the official SE blog post on the subject and also from the fact that my MY reputation just jumped quite a bit.
Joshua 11:1: ויהי כשמע יבין מלך חצור וישלח אל יובב מלך מדון ואל מלך שמרון ואל מלך אכשף When Yabin, king of Chatzor, heard [of some of the Jews' battles], he sent to Yubeb, king of Madon, and to the ...
