I am sorry but what do you mean by "ranking by popularity"? Isn't that what "Top Ranked Articles" is?

The popularity ranking takes account of the number of people having voted, thus preventing the effect of "top article is one with only one vote of 5". The formula damps the general vote with a logarithmic integration of the number of votes, so an article with only one vote of 5 has a rather low "popularity", and an article with lots of 3 or 4 votes will have a much better ranking.
In the search mask, you can order by "popularity" rather by "rating".
The popularity has been introduced many years ago as a remedy to the problem you were describing in your original post.

"Second rate Perrier in favour of Tory leader and climb from calm to tempestuous?"(8,5)
In Storm News I must relate the scenes of devastation and damage in my back garden this morning.
A pot had blown over, spilling some geraniums and nearly causing a snail some distress.
There were some leaves on the grass, and the bin had moved several feet.
So much for the 'Worst Storm Since 1987' that they were going on about.

Bravo, that man. Clap, clap, clap.
Nice clue. Good answer.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

You won't need to. I will blow my own head off with a shotgun. But if I fail, please honour your obligation.

Don't worry Mondays are strange phenomena and that strange thing makes us say and do thing that we usually don't say or do or at least we don't like saying or doing.
I hate Mondays.

Safe For Work.
Contains no nudity, profanity or anything else that would be unacceptable in a "normal" work environment.
May contain kittens, and traces of nuts.
Contrast NSFW:
Not Safe For Work.
Contains material that may cause offence and which should not be viewed on a company computer incase your net-nazis get upset and do nasty things to your connection.
Should not be used in the Lounge, and only mildly offense in the Soapbox, to prevent said net-nazis adding CodeProject to the list of "banned" sites.

I don't know either, but the name sounds like she's the owner of the "popular" fast-food chain.
