| Jan 8, 2014 at 21:19 | comment | added | Gerhard Paseman | I think it is a ramification worth discussing. If in addition to the document or translation request, there is an accompanying useful or interesting idea, then I would not mind so much. If there were a way to "file" such requests so that they did not clog the main views of MathOverflow, then I think it would be useful to retain those. I agree that this issue by itself merits discussion. Gerhard "Recommends Making It An Answer" Paseman, 2014.01.08 | |
| Jan 8, 2014 at 21:13 | comment | added | user9072 | Not sure this fits your idea so initially only a comment: sometimes people ask a "reference request" that is rather a "document request", that is they ask for a copy of a certain article/book. Perhpas it is worth mentioning the distinction (and dicussing this type of request too). Similarly, requests for the existance of translations. | |
