I looked, but can't find a way. I want to delete this article (it was my "tough questions" experiment that didn't work as planned).
Problem: WCF Web Service on a Secure Server[^]

The Delete button on the article should do it.
You currently have it locked for editing so I can't help you at the moment. Lemme know if you want me to nuke it for you.

I think you're gonna have to. I don't see a delete button *anywhere*.

John, your article page[^] should show edit and delete icons next to the article's title, assuming it still is in "unfinished" state. It does so for my non-public article-to-be.

I have an edit icon, but no delete icon.

I posted a message in the lounge, and my signature's HTML was escaped. No, I didn't check/uncheck any boxes or anything. This message shows the problem, as well.
Okay, I think I fingered it out. It seems that the "Use HTML in this post" checkbox affects the sig block as well. I see this as a bug, since the sig should logically be insulated from what you put in the message.

I second that; "Use HTML in this post" affects all.

No, it shouldn't be!
OP selected the 'Answer' type flag for the message before posting it.
Message type flag decides what to show... thus 'Good/Bad Answer'....
Nothing wrong with CP... just a logical mistake by OP!

Sorry - didn't notice that...

Good catch. The user name seems to contain a FONT and a SUP tag, both opening and never closing. In IE7 the remainder of the Who's Who page is all messed up, in FF3 it is only the following member names that take a hit.
|

|
|
|
I am using Chrome 5.0.375.70, but also checked IE 8 is the messed up also.

Thiru and Chris will be pleased that they got this bug on an article with a low number of votes. With just 4-5 votes, debugging this should be easy. I expect a fix by noon today. What with VS 2010's superior productivity and all that 
|
|
|
|
|
all of us adding lots of votes could make the problem disappear too. 
|
|
|
|
|
Possibly a result of us not having stored full voting data from the very beginning of voting.

One of my articles has a similar issue. There are 2 votes (3 and 5) which results in an average of 3.67 instead of 4.0.
|
|
|
|
|
That is an entirely different matter, and not a bug; votes get weighted by the reputation color of the voter (it is explained in a FAQ somewhere); if the 3-vote has twice the weight of the 5-vote, the average would be (3+3+5)/(1+1+1) = 3.67

Thank you for that explanation. It leads me to a concern I have about this site's strictly numerical rating system. I would prefer to have a rating system that required that lower ratings be explained. The intent of this site, I believe, is to help us all improve. Rating an article with a 1, 2 or 3 without an explanation does nothing toward that end. Especially, as you pointed out, when some votes have more weight than others. It would be great, therefore, if, when a person entered a rating of 1, 2 or 3 for an article the voter is identified and they are required to provide an explanation for the low vote. Not only would this, in my opinion, improve the quality of the rating feedback, it would maybe make someone who tends to rate very low stop and think before heedlessly trashing someone's work.
Providing visibility to the author of the weight being given each vote would also be a help.
