Ah, I missed this, sorry.
But...not sure it'll do what you think it'll do. As soon as an article is approved it is no longer available for moderation: a refresh or new load of the article will no longer show the approval widget.

I can imagine that they mean something similar to when something was reported / nuked: Message closed because "XXX", "YYY", "ZZZ" reported it due to blah blah blah"
But more like: Article approved by: XXX, YYY, ZZZ...

Ah.
Hadn't thought of that...so no pressure then, eh?

It's all right. I'll balance him out. I don't respect your opinion at all.

I could approve "a" and "the" but not "teh"

It's a feature, not a bug: it's in the documentation!

Nah, if I want it public I post a comment.

Personally, I agree with other people. If I want it to be public, I leave a comment.
I mean, if the functionality is implemented, I would not like the information to be open to all the public.
But I would not mind if it was available for a reduced group of people to help CP to keep good level and be clean.
I could imagine a button that only is visible for that group of persons with the privilege (like delete QA Items)Owner, Admin, Editor, Subeditor, Protector, maybe mentor too...
That way, would be possible to keep tract of puppets, favouritisms, trying to fool because is cool... and so on. But still having the needed privacity to avoid points commented in other messages. Like automatic aproving if a respected member already did it, aproving returns (I clicked in yours, please click in mine) or things like that.

There's an inconsistent CSS style to the timestamps for the pending articles, as compared to pending blogs, tips/tricks etc.
Chrome: 35.0.1916.153; Firefox: 27.0
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

If I would have a company I would probably find it interesting to group articles together under my company name. I would encourage my employees to write articles (under their name), but link them together under the company name. (same for blogs and tips).
That way a company could develop some sort of knowledge base for their developers and their clients.
A simple filter could return all articles for one company.

When you create an account you can choose whether it's a normal account or a group account. Once you create a group account you can then add members and they can then post articles on behalf of that group.

that display on the right side of this very forum : How are they managed ? Which features are displayed ? What do the numbers mean (priority?) ?
There are "In progress" feature requests that are no less than two years old ... Are they really being considered ?
Do not take me wrong, I am not criticizing whatsoever how the ToDo list is managed - I am sure that you are working on lots of stuff - I only kind of miss the ol' sticky post which used to detail the bugfixes and improvements.
And maybe criticizing a bit how the ToDo list is managed.

Every item on our TODO list will get addressed, and every bug and suggestion entered gets read and categorised.
It's true that we've not had as much time to fix some of the issues as we'd have liked, and it's also true that many items are long term items (eg the bookmark system) that we'd rather hold off on and do in one big hit than fix piecemeal.
I had the choice of just letting the Bugs and Sugs list be essentially /dev/null or being more open with where we're up to and I'd rather be tardy and open with our members than pretend not to hear you.

Why is the pending articles list only displayed in a small area on the front page ?
I wish we had a *dedicated* page, listing the entries, with the votes fo the moderators already categorized (=number of people having approved, number having voted "wrong article type", etc...), number of comments for the article version, if it is a first entry or an update, etc...

I'm open to being convinced this would make a significant improvement to the process, but I can't see how.
I prefer members to view the articles as articles with no preconceived ideas when they vote to approve, rather than cherry picking or going into it with an idea the article is already good/bad.

Let's split the subject:
- For the dedicated page : because I fail to understand why the pending entries have to be squizzed in a 2 cm2 square frame on the front page, lost between some link titles and an ad frame, where the rest of the site is so good designed. To me, it is just out of place there, it gives the impression that moderating the articles is just something aside with no importance. Once I had noticed I had the privilege, I had to ask where to look for moderating the articles...
Maybe the dedicated page could be linked/merged somehow with the moderator forum ; not sure how (latest entries displayed under the list of the pending articles ?), it is just an idea.
- For the moderation part : because if something has been reported _several_ times as wrong type, or plagiarism, or with wrong layout, should I really bother rechecking for all this ? Honestly, once someone has dropped a comment at the end of the article as "wrong type" or "plagiarized", I doubt the moderator coming next will argue with it.
Maybe not all the vote categories need to be displayed, but only those that are relevant.
Also the fact that it is an update or a new article is important, because you do not look at them with the same eyes : for the update, you only check for what has been changed.
