| Dec 8, 2012 at 0:14 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | @SF. I humbly direct you to the canonical meta post Against single word requests. Do take a minute to apply the criteria outlined there to the question at hand. Do also note that the votes here have been heavily skewed by the multicollider. (And the very fact that this got onto the multicollider in the first place is, by design, a rather strong sign of it being mindless bikeshedding.) | |

| Dec 7, 2012 at 12:03 | comment | added | Kris | @RegDwighт I'd have happily accepted it as a GR closure, though it's not a straight GR question. If it's been wrecked, it's because of some or mostly guess-work answers and not because of the asker's fault. Perhaps, OP's bad luck. | |
| Dec 7, 2012 at 10:05 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | @Kris: you make it sound like it should be closed as general reference instead. Also, in case you haven't noticed, the OP already has accepted an answer and it is does not so much as mention reconstruct. (Instead it mentions ratiocinate, whatever that is.) Look at the upvote situation, too. You are fighting a losing battle, I am afraid. This question is a train wreck right now, in no small part thanks to the multicollider. | |

| Dec 7, 2012 at 7:53 | comment | added | Kris | @RegDwighт On the comment, I checked the OP's phrase 'piece together' the usual, preferred and recommended GR way, online Thesaurus: "Main Entry: reconstruct" (thesaurus.com/browse/piece+together) -- seems the question has enough substance. | |
| Dec 6, 2012 at 1:11 | comment | added | SF. | I've checked the FAQ and this type of questions appears to be the first recommended point to ask on this site. Some of the answers are excellent quality and the question has 7 upvotes and two favs but the moderators STILL think it's "not good enough". | |

| Dec 3, 2012 at 10:14 | comment | added | Kris | There is a defined term for this concept. A valid 'single-word request' question. See my answer. Voting to re-open. | |
| Dec 3, 2012 at 10:11 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | We need context. Otherwise people will keep throwing words at the wall at random. Which is not helping anyone, least of all yourself. We try to provide clear answers to clear questions. And we clearly fail at that when you get ten answers within a couple hours, some of which can't even make their mind up and are really, in turn, ten separate answers in their own right. | |
