Let's say someone asks on EL&u "Is this right?" and posts "All right all-right alright" That is a question. But is it on topic for an English language website? Is it interesting? Mildly? Does it show effort? What do you think? Even semi-illiterate people can write a question. That's not the problem. It's the "why" post it on a Q&A website? Do they want a "yes" or "no" answer, or do they need an in-depth explanation that explains why/how something works? A sentence can be grammatical, but also meaningless. How useful to future visitors would "is this right?" question be?Mari-Lou A Слава Україні– Mari-Lou A Слава Україні2025-01-27 14:13:57 +00:00Commented Jan 27, 2025 at 14:13

@Mari-LouAСлаваУкраїні This post answers the question is "What's in your mind?". Could you please explain me how your comment is related to this context?Rubén– Rubén2025-01-27 15:52:12 +00:00Commented Jan 27, 2025 at 15:52

2Are you saying you don't know what a question looks like? The reason why each meta (or nearly) across the network has a post that attempts to help users create a good on topic question is surely self evident.Mari-Lou A Слава Україні– Mari-Lou A Слава Україні2025-01-27 18:46:11 +00:00Commented Jan 27, 2025 at 18:46

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
