Line 47:
: It is hard to get a task description correct. The descriptions given might have needed some polish, but was a long way from being an outright mess, and could, and has been, improved over time. Tone can be very hard to convey in such short paragraphs common to RC and people can fail to see an encouragement to improve when couched in ambiguous terms. (Ambiguous in the sense that is the intent to get someone ''else'' to improve the task description, or is it to belittle someone)?

:: It happens way too often: sometimes a task is given without fully understanding its complexity ([[Last letter-first letter]]), sometimes the task giver has a rather naive understanding of the question asked ([[Convert decimal number]]), and sometimes the task giver doesn't know what's involved at all ([[Colour pinstripe/Printer]], [[Pinstripe/Printer]]), all of which give a lot of confusion to people who try to provide example solutions. Read through the comments on this page, and see how hazy the task giver's idea about "number", "digit", "number crunching" and "string" is. Don't you think that's a little irresponsible? Confusion and lack of clarity lead to varying intepretations of tasks, resulting in code that's not correct or doing wildly different things -- do you care about the content on this wiki, or is it enough just being nice and fuzzy while cutting everyone some slack? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 08:59, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
