| Apr 17, 2014 at 6:14 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | @Iain I'm definitely open to suggestions for tightening it up - I just didn't want to throw 20 "Do these things noob!" bullet points up - that's almost as intimidating to some folks as a wall of text (and because of markdown's formatting.... eccentricities it can be tough to read too) | |

@voretaq7: Cheers. I think that it's still too much wall of text (the bullet points of the cheklist are better) but given that it will almost never be read by the people who need to read it ...

| Apr 17, 2014 at 3:24 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | I basically snarfed the major points from the default page and your checklist (tried to distill it down to 5 items, wound up with 6) and added links to some of the canonical meta questions on how to write a decent (main site) question. It all fits on one of my screens, so hopefully it won't be too intimidating for new users and maybe the truly exceptional will follow the links | |

| Feb 9, 2014 at 4:32 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | +1 Unfortunately I have to agree with the last part. | |
