I think the closing note for closed homework questions should explicitly contain a short notice about not being limited to literal homework, perhaps mentioning other cases. ( Assuming the system allows it.)

Yes, it is explained in the provided link in the note, how to post such questions properly. But in my experience, many new posters have not got there yet when starting arguing their question is not homework. (They often seem even not reading warning comments till the end, clarifying it. )

It does not help with the user confusion, when the guide link hint *how-do-i-ask-homework-questions-on-chemistry-stack-exchange* looks like it is really all just about homework.

Some of these arguments are prevented, if some senior community members have posted prefabricated, closure warning comments before the closure, so it is clear already for them. 

If it was in a short notice directly in the closure note, it would save all parties from unnecessary and repeated clarifications.

The phrase to be eventually used in the note can be the one in bold **"This includes not just questions from actual homework assignments, but also self-study problems, puzzles, etc."** from the meta page [how-do-i-ask-homework-questions-on-chemistry-stack-exchange][1]
