If you have something useful to add to the answer domain of an old question, please do so. If you do it well, there's even a special badge for you: Necromancer

If there were no people, or even Hominids, around when said event took place (or it didn't affect the ones that were in the slightest), then the question is definitely off-topic as "General (non-human …

This was news to me, but sure enough, it does. @StackHistory. Based on the content I'm seeing there, it looks like its some kind of bot, just posting new questions that are positively moderated. This …

I can't (and in fact, often don't) speak for anyone else here, but it looks on-topic to me. Due to the Holidays, I don't have a lot of time to research it myself (so I have not posted an answer). Cou …

For those of you like KillingTime who have enough rep to look at deleted questions, the fact that the user in question has no link to their account information is a big clue here. When a user account …

It looks like you are looking for some kind of completely objective rule. The problem there is these rules are enforced by human beings (our users), not by computers. So there's always going to be a w …

It could just be a matter of who happened to come across your tag wiki edits. I have about the most permissive attitude toward tag wiki edits you are liable to find (IMHO just about any wiki is bette …

Flag the ones you see, and they can be rolled back to the last good revision. I've gotten all the ones I noticed.

I believe it would be on-topic here. We have a computers tag. Of the on-hold/closed questions there, 2 were for being easily found trivia, and one was for being unclear. There's one more that has no a …

That's kinda what "migrated" means. It started out on the main site, but didn't belong there. The author had intended to post it on meta, but hit the wrong button. So it got migrated (moved) to meta. …
