May 2	comment	How does rideship.com work? @AnkurBanerjee: I made the question specific to "experiences" and seconded the nomination for reopening. But time has "run out" on my reopen vote so I am appealing directly to the Moderator.
May 2	comment	Why SOME Israeli groups are so impolite and what to do? The problem is common to "young" people of many groups. But the Israelis DO have a particular issue with their military service. Apparently the answer to the OP's question is to stay in hostels that don't cater to Israeli's.
May 2	revised	Why SOME Israeli groups are so impolite and what to do? fixed some grammar
Apr 12	awarded	Informed
Apr 12	comment	How safe is Morocco? (2011-2012) @gm: We do not like to "forecast" or speculate about future events on this site. So I recast your question about changes in safety recommendations in the "recent past." And the question to ask "anyone who has been there recently" is about your "experience," not about "Arab Spring."

Apr 12	comment	Suitcase starts smelling like petrol (gasoline) when stored in the closet I edited the question to make an explicit connection between the suitcases and traveling. IMHO the question should no longer be closed in its current form (and possibly not in its original form).

Apr 10	comment	What is overbooking (of flights), and why do airlines all seem to do it? @RoflcoptrException: My original plan was to put this question on meta and find out if any more changes are necessary. But yesterday, you reopened some other questions that I had fixed. If you feel this one is "ready to go," fine. On the other hand, if you feel it needs more work, I'd go back to the other (meta) plan for help. I've done what I can on my own.
Apr 9	comment	What does Ryanair do with airplanes in winter? How does this affect you as a traveller? That's the kind of thing that would make this question interesting on the site.
Apr 9	comment	Is Casablanca totally safe? @HaLaBi: I reedited the question. Is this better?

Apr 9	revised	What is overbooking (of flights), and why do airlines all seem to do it? edited title
Apr 9	comment	Explain this interaction between a traveller, a boy and a bag of bread in Nepal? Were you actually in Nepal when this happened? That would make it a LOT more interesting than if you were just watching YouTube from say, England or the United States.
Apr 9	comment	Very short time to visit Lake Titicaca @Patrick: You need to limit the question some more. (Time and place don't represent enough of limits.) I'd add a line saying, "My interests are..." And then ask, what can I do there within the time constraints, etc.
Apr 9	revised	How does rideship.com work? limited the question to focus on actual experiences
Apr 9	comment	Where can I find authentic areas in Canary islands? I have clarified the question somewhat, and second the nomination for reopening.
Apr 9	revised	Where can I find authentic areas in Canary islands? clarified question
Apr 9	revised	Is Casablanca totally safe? narrowed the question by asking about specific safe places in Casablanca
Apr 9	comment	What is overbooking (of flights), and why do airlines all seem to do it? @HaLaBi: Not only the mechanism, but what passengers can do about it (or push for). I have improved the question by addressing these issues.
