| Nov 17, 2012 at 22:30 | comment | added | Gorchestopher H | This seems to be the only SE site where an OP doesn't need to know how to use Google in order to have sufficiently researched a question. What constitutes "sufficient research" on this site? Thinking to one's self for a few minutes before posting? | |

| Nov 11, 2012 at 23:17 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | NONE of the questions that were ever contested as being an over/ab-use of GR were story-id question, so I don't see how that is relevant. | |

| Nov 7, 2012 at 18:59 | comment | added | Beofett | 'You propose that some questions are "too localised" and "general reference" at the same time so we don't need GR.' You're playing fast and loose with what I said. The overlap of TL with GR is far from being the only reason I feel we don't need GR. Regarding your proposed solution, saying "you don't need any expertise to find the wikipedia or IMDB question" is far too subjective, imo, and will lead us to being in exactly the same boat we're in now. | |
