I have a question regarding topics for articles. Is it okay to do what could be considered infograph or data analysis as articles? Also, if it is on the subject of development or related to the industry, is it okay to write humorous articles (not satirical, not rants, but not the most seriously either)? Or should I keep all of these to my blog to be launched?

Yes to both counts. Humour goes in the Scrapbook under General Reading.
Awesome.

Apparently, all CP articles are showing "0 Votes" when you open them

There was an issue this morning but that has been fixed. I'm seeing votes my end...

This article shows five empty stars and "(0 votes)", however it has several "[My vote of 5]" messages attached, and the voting histogram shows 2 fours and 24 fives. Both in FF4 and Chr10. And IE7.

It's an intermittent bug. Matthew and I have just been scratching our heads, looking at two computers on the same server showing different things.
We're on it.

Ah yes. The old "it works on my computer" defence.

Hi,
If you've got a spare moment & don't mind doing a bit of editorial \ QA, could you have a look at my latest article - Visual Application Launcher[^]
In particular, can you download the source and have a look at the README.txt
Is it clear to you what steps you need to complete to get the application up and running? If you've got all the prerequisites to run the application, could you give it a go?
It's by far the longest article + most complex source I've posted on here....I'm rambling at points....just need a sense check to make sure I haven't forgotten anything critical!
Any feedback appreciated

The readme file seems reasonable to me, except it's called READ-ME-FIRST!.txt 
|
|
|
|
|
Ill give it a try.
If God helps those who help themselves, don't you think we should do the same?

Hi,
I've just uploaded my first article to CP (in fact my first technical article anywhere) and was wondering if people can give me some feedback on it.
What parts on it I did right and what parts on it can be improved on for any other articles I write.
The article is
Comparison between different methods to iterate over a list of items[^]
Thanks in advance
Regards
Michael

I see your article is already published and is viewable by normal members too.
In due course of time, you will surely get lots of feedback via forum present at the end of your article.

I am not able to update an article by uploading a zip, and I am getting a message -
"Please provide a title for your article" which does not exist as text box when updating.
|
|
|
|
|
Can you please try again? A bug on that page has been fixed. My apologies.

I suggested to a poster that his content should go in Tips & Tricks, and he asked[^] how to transfer it. As far as I am aware this needs delete and repost. Is there a quicker solution?
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

It's on our TODO but hasn't been implemented yet.

I also got this supplementary question from the OP:
deepanjan.das@gmail.com wrote: Appreciate your prompt reply. But I do not see any delete option against my article.
Can you please let me know how to delete an article.
I am not sure of the answer; maybe I should post a dummy article to check out what can & cannot be done. Also, the article appears to have been deleted since he posted the question.

I dropped him a message on the article on where to find the delete.
It is located under the search box top right, but only appears if the article is editable. (i.e. is still unpublished or flagged unedited contribution), The delete icon sits next to the get article html and edit online icons.
