Or should be added to the yellow box, when we are moderating the post.

A modal dialog would be more "in-your-face", and harder to ignore.

Does that modal matter once he has already clicked on the "Wrong Type" option?

My thinking was that the "wrong type" vote wouldn't be submitted until the moderator had read the message and clicked a "Yes, this item is the wrong type" button. Possibly with an option to indicate what type they think it should be, if that doesn't cause too much extra work.

I have already bookmarked it, will thoroughly go through it. This process is an Article in itself, it takes a lot of time to understand it completely.

Recently, Sean as you notified me, there have been a few changes in the Tips ↔ Article status. This post, How to solve XSS attack - CodeProject[^], would go in Tips, or Articles? It is not about one way of doing it. Provides methods for server as well as client side.
If that is Tip, remove my vote for Approval otherwise let me know if these types of post can make it up as an Article.

Article. Not ... a great one though

Then, what difference does that post or guidance make? This post is not a "straight-forward do this" post, it has some overview, shows both methods. Has more words than most of the tips.
If we are not going to moderate this as an Article, then, I would like to stick to the previous standards of moderation as they were more clear to moderators and new users.
Let's start this in Suggestions forum[^], should we?

The post needs to get better before it can be approved as an article. Something tells me it's been approved in this time so I will have to go back and talk to the author.
It doesn't need to be complicated. If you look very closely at the way we've defined tips, not many posts will be tips. We won't see them very often. I'm sure some things will get through as tips while I'm sleeping and I'll have to chase them around (or wait for the day when we auto-reclassify things), but by and large, they won't appear that often.
In all other cases where you're thinking, "hey, this should be a tip" instead now you think, "what can be done to make this an article."

I'm also involved in approving it and I did made you aware of my vote, should've removed.
Sure, I will keep my eyes open for that, and many this would take a bit time to get started with the new standards for moderation. A question: With this approach, we are more likely to say, "Add this to the post and then re-submit", instead of, "Change it to a Tip/Trick and then re-submit". Right?

It was being edited at the time and I couldn't touch it. :S
Yup, "add this to the post and re-submit." Many of the authors won't, but hey, we can try.

Today, I've multiple times updated my article Smart TextDiff Utility for Intel® 64 Platform[^] and it was successfully approved, *BUT* the new files I've uploaded to the article page were not updated. Instead, the old versions of files are available for downloading. Please make sure that the newly uploaded files are available on the article's page.
Thanks. Arthur.

Just the download files at the top of the article? Or the images as well?

No, just files to download at the top of the article. Images are displayed correctly.

I've just checked. The files to download at the top of the article's page can be correctly downloaded. Thanks. I mean that the correct versions of files are available for download.

I am trying to upload a trick & tips and getting this response - 'The content is either too short or default. - Content contains the phrase 'the code? Did you do anything particularly clever or wild or zany'.
Is there any minimum size limit on the content that it is saying too short. Also my content does not contain the phrase 'the code'. This is confusing, please help. Earlier, also I posted the articles and tips & tricks but did not find this issue.

Without seeing what you have tried to upload it is not possible to help. I suggest you follow the advice in the submission guidelines:
Package all this up into a single zip file and send it to Submit@codeproject.com.

Hi. Yesterday, April 31, 2016 I published my article Smart TextDiff Utility for Intel® 64 Platform[^]. A few hours later, the member PIEBALDConsult posted "See Also" comment to the article's discussion forum, in which he recommended me so I would post a link to my article in this page Code Lean and Mean - CodeProject[^]. I exactly followed his recommendation, but I'm just wondering if my article will be actually discussed in this page?? As far as I know this is an outdated completion page which expired far August 31, 2009. Probably, PIEBALDConsult posted a link to this page just for reference so I could review and compare my article to those similar articles that were published in the CodeProject far in the past, or something like that ??
Unfortunately, the "See Also" comment posted by PIEBALDConsult was purged from my article's discussion forum as the result of multiple article's updates. And I'd appreciate if you can help to recover this comment so I can make up my mind of what particularly this comment was about.
P.S. I'm sorry for posting this message to the Article Writing forum because I've not found an appropriate forum under which I can give this question.

I suspect your article was in the articles approval queue at the time that PIEBALDConsult's comment was made. When an article is posted live, we automatically delete the forum messages because they tend to be things like "you should fix this in the article, you should fix that," which we don't want to carry over. So unfortunately that comment is gone and based on what you have written about it, I can' discern what it was about either.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Today I've published the article Smart TextDiff Utility for Intel© 64 Platform[^], but unfortunately the files enclosed to the article are not downloadable and missing from the CodeProject.com servers. Can you solve the following problem as soon as you can ?
Thanks a lot. Arthur.
