What happens when a question is marked as duplicate?

Why are some questions marked

as duplicate from the Help Center?

I will now be writing to improve my native English as I live in India. When I look at this sentence, I see three phrases separated by two commas, and something is striking me as so discordant that I cannot figure out, unambiguously, what this sentence actually is saying.

What is the problem with “except”? Does “except” apply to marking or to is a part of a?

What does it take for an expert to come up with something new in the journalism field?

It’s ambiguous because of the two comma’s that represent the clauses, because I believe the sentence makes logical sense, although it’s potentially unclear.

If you were to split it into two sentences, be sure that the ‘except’ area shouldn’t be there, since the conjunction is needed to join two clauses.

Asked What are your suggestions for closing a question? Why does Quora keep marking my question as ‘Duplicate’ instead of ‘Closed’?

If a semicolon is not so controversial, they may also make readability easy.

When a question is marked as duplicate, we try to avoid it, and add the question title. (see screenshots)….:). Marking a question as duplicate is part of the closing procedure. but for the title text.

Is there any specific answer?

“except” because the exception is not to something in the quoted sentence but rather to something in the linked explanation of closing. It seems to be there. The situation is, as far as I can tell, as follows! Where can I ask questions in a different language for different reasons? Please reply to all questions you type using the URL: https://www.com/help/closed-questions. That link says that closed questions ultimately get “” appended to their title. I can’t get a complete answer yet… The sentence you quoted expresses this by saying that titles are appended with “” which I think is a misuse of “append”. The sentence you quoted began by trying to say that marking as a duplicate is one of the options for closing a question. (It says this by saying marking as a duplicate is a part of the question closing procedure, which I think is a misuse of the word “part” to try and avoid mistakes). Then it adds that, unlike other options, this one results in appending “” instead of “.” So the exception is to the statement, in the linked explanation, that closing a question results in appending “” to its title.

What are some examples?
