Here are two real facts that show that prominent contributors close questions without taking the time to read them carefully and verify that they are really a duplicate question.
First issue:
Look at this question: Labeling points on a circle [duplicate] it was asked at 5:56 p. m. and is closed after one hour because of a duplicate question.
However, the OP explains that it cannot apply the answer codes: and for good reason, because the other question does not solve its problem at all.
A closer look at the question shows that this new collaborator did not see the essential difference between the two questions: he uses the operation \node
to draw the regular polygon while in the other question he uses a \foreach
with on a \draw
operation.
Second issue:
The same problem arose with this question: I want a figure to be positioned above a tikzpicture
It was asked at 4:57 am and a request for closure was asked in less than an hour. However, it was different because it was another problem due to the standalone
class.
I replied, then I added the standalone
tag and the closing request was removed.
My questions:
- Isn't this speed in itself a problem?
- Isn't this a consequence of the inherent speed of computers and networks?
- Shouldn't we change the closing rules and leave a few days of latency before we can close a question?
Can you reopen these questions?
I ask for this question (Labeling points on a circle [duplicate] ) to be reopened because it makes it possible to clarify Tikz's various concepts and operations.
