| Jul 1, 2014 at 16:33 | comment | added | The Masked Avenger | @S. Carnahan. I am feeling judgmental, and it seems my choice of words reflect that. From my perspective, I see two questions that deserve equal treatment, and they are not getting it. Stefan Kohl makes a good distinction, but to me that seems more a reason for closing, editing and reopening than for migration. It is my intent to understand more than to challenge; Emil's comment comes closest to answering my intent. If you need to understand my motivation for choice of words, take it as a belief of unequal treatment. | |

| Jul 1, 2014 at 13:55 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | Having cast the first vote to migrate the sum of squares question, I should probably clarify that I hesitated a lot whether to vote to close it as unclear instead (on account of issues with “non-consecutive”/“not necessarily consecutive”, “unique”, and what is $n$), and at that point, there were not yet any answers. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 10:15 | comment | added | user9072 | In general questions that are answered well should not be migrated (this is general network policy and since migration is inter-network it applies to "us" even if we assume that in general it does not). I would thus say that the one migration is at odds with guidelines. (Depending on timeline it still could happen easily though; this is not meant as an accussation. Also the guidelines might not be that clear or well-known.) | |

| Jul 1, 2014 at 9:16 | comment | added | S. Carnahan Mod | I still don't see why you insist on using judgmental language like "poor practice" here. Five people voted to close and migrate one poorly worded and vague question, and a different, well-written question did not attract 5 votes to close. Even without those distinctions, I don't think the walls separating questions that should be closed, migrated, or kept open can be made ultra-precise. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 6:17 | comment | added | The Masked Avenger | It could very well be a matter of non-uniform practice. My experience with migration is close to nil: my belief was that there were guidelines that were clear to follow, and that things were migrated accordingly. Put it down to my naivete and faith in the system. If the answer is "We haven't gotten to it yet.", I would understand. I could stand more information about the consequences of migration. No offense meant regarding policy, it's just that poor practice did not occur to me as I was writing this question. | |
| Jul 1, 2014 at 5:12 | comment | added | S. Carnahan Mod | What makes you think this is an inconsistency in policy, rather than a non-uniformity in practice? For that matter, the closing of questions is shaped by guidelines, but decided by users. | |
