I submitted this article The use of MS Chart Control and VB.Net for Statistical Purposes: Plotting Kaplan-Meier Estimate.[^] hours ago. It was not commented on but still not approved, and there is no way for me to tell the precise status of my article except the term "pending" with no further details. I recently learned that an article requires a specific number of authorized users to review and approve the article. My "fear" is that if my article title is not "attractive", this will compromise the chances of getting the article approved. Is there a way to find out exactly whether my article has been reviewed or not, i mean more details not just the word "pending"?

I can view the article (don't have time to read it right now but will later)
That usually means it has been approved since I normally can't see the unapproved articles.
So either your article went 'live' or there is a bug allowing me to view it or I suddenly have more rights now or the system for approving articles changed.
I'm going to be optimistic and say your article has been approved

Articles are approved usually very quickly. If it isn't approved quickly it's probably because it has issues, and members will usually provide feedback on those issues.
As you saw, your article has been approved.
There is no further precision to "pending" status that can be provided. It either has, or has not, been approved.

Hello
I am having some members who sometime just post a "My vote of n" (n being a number) with nothing else.
For example I have a "My vote of 1" here A USB Library to Detect USB Devices[^] from Lavrekho.
I have another one "My vote of 5".
If I look at Lavrekho's messages, he is only posting and probably voting of 1 to several of us, see below.
Is this a bug?
Thank you very much, Regards, Steph.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

A vote of 1 on an article requires a comment to explain your vote. Lavrekho has posted a comment of "-" to circumvent this.

On each comment you can use the "Report" dropdown (lower right of the message) to mark it as abuse. Enough votes and it will be nuked, as will the vote.

Hi
Thanks to you all!

How hard would it be to ping a user's IP address when they are creating an account and have it use that location's country as the default country setting? It seems most people use USA without realizing it. Also, why is CP's default USA instead of Canada, eh?

hostip.info[^] seems to work pretty well, and they provide the data in a MySQL script[^] so you can use it without hitting their servers.

I think the best default is ... use void.
Automatically flagging may be perceived intrusive by some users, especially if it happens without them realizing it.
For a few of us, this comes on top of the problem of the definition of "country" : Country you are working in, country you are from, or country you just happen to be... the automatically flagging could be as wrong as any arbitrary flag.
So leave it to void by default, and let people who wants it modify it in their settings.

The country you happened to be in might be a problem for Europeans who travel a lot. Otherwise, put the country where your ass sits in on most days.

Not only using void as default.
void as default + not being able to end the registration without a valid entry.
It could end with people lying, but once you must search one... why don't search the correct one?

Doing so is easy. Having accurate data is hard.

I think that would drop the number of "plz", "urgentz" and "fully wrong spelling" USA-Members

Because the value returned is not always accurate - it depends on the ISP who allocates the IP address. Most geolocation from IP services will return a country, but (certainly in my case) if can be hundreds of miles out - it depends on which IP addresses were available when my router connected to the ISP which one of their pool I get. I am in Wales, but I have had geolocations for Germany, France, or -worse- England...
And of course, if a proxy is used, then it could be anywhere!
BTW: I just checked, and no location is available for me today - but the consensus is I might be in Amsterdam. Oops!

Because they assume that anyone who cannot be bothered selecting a country must assume that it is obvious where they are, because they cannot conceive of any other country, so therefore are most likely American.
