My latest article is "pending"!?
pending what? what should I do? why is it pending?
I don't recall having seen this before.
and don't tell me to wait. This is an automated web site. I'll wait for a train or a cab, not for a web page to get in the next state.
[ADDED]
suggestion: add an hyperlink next to the status field, explaining what it is, what transitions exist, how they get triggered, how they get executed, how long they take, etc, enough to keep people busy while waiting...

Aha. Logging out reveals what might be the problem.
My article suddenly gets replaced by a page stating:
"This article has not yet been approved for publication by our membership. It should be available soon. Please go to the .NET Framework Table of Contents to view the list of available articles in this section."
So it is probably sitting in quarantine (a.k.a. the articles-needing-approval section) waiting for those few golden/platinum boys to have a say. Fact is, for me that list is visible but empty, which is rather strange. Or the whole new rep stuff is still not OK?

I can see that list (and you should be able to as well) with one article in but not yours

Yes, I can see it now, with one article (not mine), and not readable.
Having 5-digit authority isn't sufficient to even read a candidate article?

Can I get a loan for 1500 author points from somebody? that might be what is required to keep my new article(s) from falling between the cracks of the system.
As it stands now, I'm a silver author with gold ambition, 1500 points short. And my entries are not showing anywhere; not in the regular lists, and not in the "articles-needing-approval" list. They (one so far) just vanish.
Any takers? Sacha? Marc? Nish?
I am willing to negotiate the conditions...

If someone is in for it... i too am the buyer

One thing that you can do is get people to vote on your articles. I voted 5 on each one, and not because you're a regular, but because they deserved it. Maybe you just gotta make more noise, like I do.
BTW, the CP Vanity article is absolutely great.

Thanks again for the votes. That has seriously upped my author rep and halved my gold gap.
I also changed sigs, not very noisy yet, but getting there. Any way to add sound to them?

I've approved your article here:
CP Vanity[^]
The Articles Needing Approval list was created to help combat the "article quality" issue. These days it serves more as a way for new authors to get feedback from seasoned authors to bring their articles up to the standards Code Project members come to expect.
This doesn't apply to you. If you can see this list, you might not have seen your article there because the list only displays the most recent five articles. Since we get about 20 or sometimes 30 articles a night, it's possible that in the submission onslaught one the Gold level article members or Code Project staff might miss an obvious gem in the rough for a few hours if you post it in the evening.
I like the idea of a link or explanation within the article about what Pending status means though. The estimated time of posting would mostly be effected by when I go sleep ... "Sean is sleeping, will be awake in 6 hrs 38 mins on average" or "Sean is driving, it is unsafe to approve articles at this time. 20 min wait on average"
Thanks,

How is automatic posting enabled with regards to the new reputation system? He has eight *highly rated* articles posted, and over 54000 authority points. How is it that his articles aren't automatically posted?
Maybe the overage score of a users articles should be considered as well as the number of articles. So, if a user has between five and ten (inclusive) approved articles posted, and his average article score is above 3.5 (with at least 10 votes per article), his articles should be automatically posted. If he has more than ten articles posted, the average rating is no longer considered, and his articles are auto-posted. If he has fewer than five approved articles approved, heis new articles go into the pending queue.
Following that rule, Luc wouldn't have to wait.
