I did it a few times in past - and I mean, stating, that the list of the articles for the contest is sometimes so poor...
In past I did not posted links not to embrace the author (after all those articles are not that bad, but not up for the finalists list...), but this month I have to post one, and not because of the author, but to show how the procedure of choosing the articles is wrong...
How to find PublicKeyToken of a DLL[^]

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

The procedure to choose the articles is as follows:
We sorted articles by rating and we then pick all mobile articles, web articles, C# articles etc etc. With each choice we ensure we don't repeat articles that have been included in previous contests, and we also ensure that an author can only appear once in a contest listing.
So this means that when we're down to the "Everything else" category we're sometimes left with very few articles to choose from.
We could certainly make an executive decision and simply ditch articles we personally feel aren't up to snuff, but we much prefer the community to have their say. If an article appears in the contest listing and it's not very good, then don't vote for it. Vote for an article that is good.

I feel about it like a sport event - if a one-handed man gets into to final-four of the archer's competition it says a lot about the rest too...

I like this approach because eventually the winner is decided by the community votes and if the article is really bad then they have the option to comment or downvote the article in question.
Only precaution to take is that Proxy votes are weeded out.

Hello,
Can someone please tell me what is the criteria for an article to be selected as the best article of the month? Do I have to apply for it or will my article be selected automatically based on it's performance (number of views, downloads etc.) & tag (sql, c#, etc)?
I published an article a few days back which is doing very well.
Thanks & Regards,
Deepak Bisht

I hadn't paid much attention to it at first but I noticed that one of my blog posts was changed to an article in the past week.
Tracking User Touches with UIImageView[^]
Not sure of the updates that were made to it last week but looks like those updates made also shifted it to becoming an article as well. It's not a big deal either way and just thought to share and maybe learning something from it.

Thanks for letting us know. Should be all fixed.

Looks like it's a blog post that he's manually copied/pasted into a new article, rather than using a blog feed.

I was moderating a would be article which is part two of a series - but part one is published as a tip, and part two isn't up to article standard either. So I suggested it would be better to withdraw both, combine them, and submit the new item as an article instead.
Then he asked how to do that...and I haven't got a clue...
If you have an article in the queue and you edit and tick the "Work in progress" box, would that remove it? What about an existing, published tip?
If there isn't a way, is it feasible to add it to the article editor? Because "promoting" a tip tends to get rude comments...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You can delete your own article, correct? And you can indeed mark your submission as Work in progress.
In this case I guess he would:
1. Delete the tip.
2. Mark the existing article in Pending status to Composing
3. Work on making the Composing article to a combination of the two
4. Resubmit

My joint blog post has been automatically re-categorized as "article" after I've edited it and added a co-author. When I tried to reset it to "blog post", this was ignored.
Is this a bug or what can I do?

We have as yet been unable to reproduce this problem. I have changed the type back to technical blog entry.

FWIW, I noticed that when one of my blog posts magically changed into an article, that I first had to set the "Original location" field again (it turned empty) before it actually wanted to update to a blog again. It might have happened that the "Original location" textbox didn't load correctly when opening the article editor, so when saving the article it was lost.

I don't see the images now but It was OK in preview

Happened to me too. Seems there is a glitch in the software sometimes.

Unfortunately we have a bug that we haven't quite nailed down yet. Once your article is approved the editors will ensure that the images are available. If not, please come banging at my email door demanding satisfaction and I will swiftly and apologetically fix the images. sean@codeproject.com.
