And who is going to sit there and revise "pending" titles all day?
Can you think of a more gutty, boring, tedious and above all pointless job, given that nobody seems to use the search facility anyway?
And what's this with the "handled by the elderly CPers" bit? Would this be because we are no use for anything else?

I think if there were to be a category of Masterpiece Articles it would really help a lot of users.
Articles that explain in depth, easy to understand even for beginners, are full of self explanatory images (... you get the picture) should be marked as such (by those authorized to by CP admins), and as such will be available for browsing in their category link.
Many coders would love to have the great articles singled out for them to save the time and pain in searching or digging into "the wrong" article.
It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality.
That means of course that they don't exist.
However, they do!

First of all... I see your point. But...
Each person is different by learning or understanding things. An article that for you is a masterwork could be a piece of crap for other, no matter if newbie or having a deeper knowledge in that subject.
I don't want to say that is a bad idea, I am just saying that it can be not so easy and it could be a very tedious work for the CP-Staff.
On the other hand... you can already pin-point the good articles (at least the ones written a while ago) using the popularity, votes and numbers of downloads. Socketpuppeters try hard to improve their rep or their articles, but they can not compite with really good articles.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Just wondering if the RSS is fetched off a cache? Perhaps that needs to be flushed?

I'm going to dig in today and see what's happening.

When I go to the home page, the weekly poll doesn't appear.
Why? Is it because there's a lot of spam on the text answers[^]?

Hi,
Normally, an account should be closed with 5 reports IIRC. But sometimes an account is only closed after the 6th or 7th report, instead of after the 5th report.
Is this by design or a bug?

|

Yep - easy non-code fix. Will deploy soon.
(Even though I despise the use of auto name = "My name";. Lazy!  )

The use of auto is more impactful when using it with STL containers. It's way easier to do auto it = coll.begin() than to use the potentially long (and unreadable) typename of the iterator, specially when it adds little meaning to your code to see the type there.

Hi,
Disclaimer I: I think the CP editing/revision/mentoring facility "as is" is great !
For those of you who wish to skip my usual wallow in verbosity: a summary:
1. we now have Articles, Tips-Tricks, topic-language-etc.-specific Forii
2. should there be a another category of shared technical "tidbits," where the amount, and depth, of content, is relatively small/shallow (compared to what you see, in general, on Articles, Tip-Tricks, now) ?
3. I humbly suggest CP consider a third category: let's call it, tentatively: "Hints."
4. What might a "Hint" be like:
a. fully tagged
b. very clear, and specific, in its title
c. clearly identifies the context which it is relevant to.
e. not long, code included: short
d. contains a how-to, a work-around, or a solution, or a caution, or useful-whatsoever, for some difficulty in practical programming in .NET, or whatever.
e. we leave to the Elven Rep-Meisters the awesome task of figuring out much a "Hint" is worth
~
And, now, for those of you with extra neurons for gnosis in your Broca's Area:
Disclaimer II: I have no problem, and no complaints, if ever anything I might submit to CP would be "closed:"
Just recently, I submitted a tip-trick, and, then, was notified that my "article" was "closed."
I should say that I am pretty sure I chose to submit a tip-trick, but now ... I wonder ... once a social worker: you always doubt yourself ... whether that's an effect of the training and practice, or part of the reason one chooses such a vocation ... is perhaps best left as unplumbed as why a person spends hours playing first-person shooter/splatter/gore video games
Even though, at the time I wrote up the tip-trick, I wondered if it was such an "edge case" ... in this case an inconsistency in the way a certain less commonly used WinForm style behaves ... that it would be of very limited relevance to other people:
But, having spent a few hours tearing my hair out (I'm happy to tell you that, at age sixty-nine, I have a full-head of beauteous silver-colored hair) wondering why what seemed straightforward didn't work: I then decided to transform my wrath against Sauron of Redmond, into a warning to others who might stray along the path I took.
Probably, assuming I did post a Tip-Trick, I screwed something up, in editing it, where it was submitted as an article: is that possible ?
alzheimerically, Bill

2/3/4. Isn't that a Tip?
Use the best guess

I am not saying I agree, but, Bill has some sense in his words -
If you look at articles dated 3 years ago + far too many would not qualify as an article today, and would be marked as "Wrong type" that should be a Tip/Trick.
Never underestimate the difference U can make in the lives of others.

True, but I don't think anyone is going to go through them all and change their type.

I believe you have just given me a hint that what I propose is rational since it can be expressed as 2/3/4: so I have upvoted your meta-comment.
thanks, Bill

The article Custom Controls in Win32 API" Visual Styles[^] seems to have some messed history of revisions.
I have got notification that it is already published, but sometimes the article goes to some old (unpublished) revision from the main list of Articles (http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/Latest.aspx), and I have not received rep. points for it.
I already report something strange few days ago here: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4616441/Confused-from-revision-history-of-an-article-being.aspx
Please can some admin take a look on it and fix the history?
UPDATE: According to the editor's reply in the article comments, he experienced theproblem too so it is not about my browser cache or whatever.
UPDATE 2: Not sure what has happened, the publicly available links lead to the right revision. However still I haven't got the 100 reputation points for publishing the article and also the "Revisions" of the article does not list any revision marked as published.... I would like edit the article to fix some typos and grammar but I'm too scared I break it more then it is sue to this issue.
