Request questions from sites on the StackExchange networks that are on-topic here too, to be imported here. Moderators may then import the question.

Addendum

This thread can not only be used to request importing single questions, but PhysicsOverflow members who like some or all of their (for PhysicsOverflow on topic) SE posts imported can say so in a corresponding answer here too. Any other specific list of questions is fine too.

@RonMaimon I agree, but hide, not delete (delete erases from the database itself).  

@Dilaton On SE, answers can be ordered by time if one needs to, but not here.  

commented Apr 8, 2014 by dimension10 (1,985 points) [ no revision ]
@RonMaimon hiding is ok But concerning references and study material (concerning advanced topics) they newer cluttered any site on SE (not the ones I was interested in) so they will not here either. They were considered legitimate in TP.SE and they are not forbidden on MathOverflow. So please dont introduce this for (advanced) students and people who want to learn about a new topic obstructive SE point of view (in SE they always said you can ask in chat which means forget about it because there are no physics people in chat)
commented Apr 8, 2014 by Dilaton (6,240 points) [ no revision ]

ok, but the point is that it shouldn't come with rep, and it's extremely easy to do, and it only needs to be done once in each topic, so perhaps when reviews are up, it can be done in reviews. You can ask the same question on each topic, I think it's best to make a literature review for each tag on reviews, so that each topic has a set of references people can add to. It's just not effort to find literature.

@Ron Maimon what do you mean exactly by "the post disappeared"?! I hope there's no auto-deletion in Q2A core, like there is on SE.  

commented Apr 9, 2014 by dimension10 (1,985 points) [ no revision ]

I meant it moved to a random position in the questions list, it wasn't bumped anymore.

Nah, I think we do not (yet) have to start deleting, this and the community moderation threads can naturally get pretty long, but I conjecture that thethe number of answers can get large but it should stay finite ...

commented Apr 7, 2014 by Dilaton (6,240 points) [ no revision ]

Ok, hid them. If you find this annoying, unhide. I still think book recommendations belongs in meta, it will clutter up the main site. (I unhid them myself, as it caused the question to disappear for lack of activity)

@Dilaton, I think we did a double import....

commented Mar 8, 2015 by Jia Yiyang (2,640 points) [ no revision ]

Hi Arnold, concerning the second question we already had a version with a PO answer from Suressh. So I will have to merge them and tell you when it is done.

commented Mar 8, 2015 by Dilaton (6,240 points) [ no revision ]

@Yiyang again? Me, Dimension10, and Ron once did a tripple import.

Of question2  there already is a PO version, they have to be merged ...

commented Mar 8, 2015 by Dilaton (6,240 points) [ no revision ]

@Dilaton, now I'm having trouble find the links of my imported ones...I want to hide them.

commented Mar 8, 2015 by Jia Yiyang (2,640 points) [ no revision ]

I always search for the SE title of imported questions to find them ...

@Yiyang can you hide the duplicated of question 1 and 3, while I try to correctly merge the different versions of question2 (and hide then the not needed one too) ?

commented Mar 8, 2015 by Dilaton (6,240 points) [ revision history ]

@Dilaton, Ok. Could you paste the links you imported and edit them into this post? That would be easier for people to find them.

commented Mar 8, 2015 by Jia Yiyang (2,640 points) [ no revision ]

@Yiyang ok Q2 is now merged (it has both answers, duh!), Q1 is here and Q3 is here.
