| Feb 25, 2013 at 16:21 | comment | added | user104 | @ACProctor, I don't believe we're confused about who we're trying to help. I do expect the questioner to put in a little more effort than is apparent in this question, if they're asking me to put effort into helping them. The answers are very different for a 20th century death and an 18th century one, for example, and I'd rather not waste my time giving a very detailed answer for all possibilities. Incidentally, I've just realised that the original wording (burial of a friend's father) was better than the current version, because it at least give a timescale clue -- prob. 20th or 21st century. | |
| Feb 25, 2013 at 16:12 | comment | added | ACProctor | @ColeValleyGirl, those negative votes were cast before I attempted to improve the question. Although it may be missing a date, it does give a functional description, a country, and a county. IMHO, there are good answers that can be provided here. I have been asked questions like this on several occasions (different counties) and see nothing wrong with it. I'm afraid I can no longer support a site that is this confused about who it is trying to help. | |

| Feb 25, 2013 at 1:18 | comment | added | Fortiter | Does everyone appreciate the delicious irony in the comment that was attached to the "offending" answer {We're not keen on link-only answers as they're prone to link-rot (getting less useful as time goes on) -- see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot.} | |
