It's ok to resubmit stories after some time has passed, but this one was submitted four weeks ago with significant discussion alongside it. I'm totally ok with stories like this being resubmitted after 3-6 months, but one month is too soon by my mark.
Resubmitting stories that don't get initial traction is fine, but this post had a lot of traction when it was submitted last time so it doesn't fit in that category.

Have a look here, dang clarifies what is a dupe in this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223645 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10223645 . It should clear up why mods marked this story about german nuclear scientists as a dupe. Plus, the try submitting http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/pdf/eng/English101.pdf http://germanhistorydocs.ghi-dc.org/pdf/eng/English101.pdf and you'll see it gets caught by the dupe detector.
Note that I didn't mark this post as a dupe, the site moderators did that.
- codezero 10y agoWe've seen successful re submissions within days. I'm not on board with getting a pitchfork out after four weeks. I am probably biased because I missed this the time it was posted four weeks ago. Let's agree it's relative. Thanks for the clarifying links though. I'm not upset it was flagged as a dupe. I'm all for HN moderation, just want to make it clear a lot of people probably missed this. If that's ok and we bury this story I am ok with that. Let's resubmit next year :)
