There's no systematic time limit, but either Sean or myself will nuke (or fix) articles that have hung around for more than a day or 2.

Are really that useful?
Quote: The Article has no major formatting issues (missing images, formatting issues etc)
If I see them I report "needs help >> format / Layout issues" and don't click approve.
Quote: The Article has no major spelling and/or grammar issues
It is not so esay to fnid tehm bcuesae yuor biran suhlod be cabpale to rroeder the letrtes wehn reading.
And if I find them I tell it the author in the message board (already have found some that were a couple of years undercovered)
On the other hand, this sometimes is difficult for non-natives moderators.
Quote: The item matches the definition of 'Article'
If not I report "needs help / Wrong Type" and don't approveQuote: The purpose and goal of the Article is clear
If not I tell the user or report "unclear / incomplete"
Quote: The Article is potentially useful
I don't click "approve" if I don't think it.
Quote: The Article is appropriate for this audience, and does not contain inappropriate content
If I thought it is not appropiate I would report "unclear", if it contains inappropiate content I would report as "poor or off-topic or inaccurated" depending on what fits best.
I still see people approving articles where there are already some reports of format / missing images / wrong types or things like that. If they are clicking that 6 options although the articles is obviously not complying with at least one of them... what is the value for the checkboxes?
Additionally, my lazyness complains a lot having to do 7 clicks when with 2 (approve and confirm) would be enough.
Having the list there to have a guide / recordatory is fine, but I don't really think the check boxes are an improvement.

They're not an improvement for you, because you're not the intended audience. 
We recently* had a few users with access to the moderation queue who were just blindly letting articles through despite major formatting issues. Nothing's going to completely prevent that, but at least the check-list should encourage them to consider before clicking approve.
And if they still approve something that's obviously not fit for publication, it gives Sean more of an excuse for visiting them with the cluebat. 
* Whatever "recently" means at the moment. Last week? A couple of months ago? 5 years ago? Time has lost all meaning.

I know.

Despite the check boxes.
And not the first time I summon the approvers to give them a "heads up"

You can ignore all the checkboxes. It just means you have to click the "OK, I'm ignoring the checkboxes", so just one more click.
As Richard observed: this is for those blindly clicking "Approve". There needed to be a little more thought in why they are approving it. Sorry it's a hassle but we needed to push the message a little more.

When I'm looking at a lot of the accounts Phil.o is collecting in his SAOTD I recognize that a lot of the linked homepages are the same. Mostly they are linking to different Tiktok and Bitcoin sites.
Could we have a function that keeps track on blocked urls and quietly drops them?
Or perhaps better, add account creation to its own moderation queue?

The owner of This message[^] complained, that he can't change the subject when editing the message. I have tried it too and is true.
I can click "Edit", the subject is available to be changed in the new window, but when I hit save the changes are reverted back to the original "My vote of 3"
And no, it should not have anything to do with "the first message of a thread" because I do it in many other cases (the most usual example is adding " - gone" in the S&A forum) and it doesn't affect if the message have been answered or not.

This is by design. The proper way is to change his vote.

Read the thread... AFAIK he changed it to a 5 and still don't able to change the subject.
Is it possible to be sure about the change of mind?

I did re-read it and no where does he say he re-voted, only that he couldn't change the title.
However, I checked the votes and it is apparent that he did re-vote and that the message title did not change.
Re-opening the bug.

Ok, I've learned something new about our Rating system. This functionality is working as designed and the logic behind this is:
- When you rate an article with a comment, a message is created with the Subject "My Rating of N", where N is the value of the rating.
- You can not change the Subject as that would change the history of the Rating. In this case you voted '3'. You can, however, edit the text in the message to indicate that it is an erroneous vote.
- To change your vote, refresh the page to re-enable voting (yeah a bit clunky) and vote again, optionally with a comment. Your old vote will be replaced with the new vote.
- If you included a comment with the new vote, a new message will be created.
The reason for this is that articles evolve. You may have originally voted 2 and explained why you thought the article was substandard. The author reviewed your comment, agreed with you, and made changes to improve or correct the article content. Upon reviewing the changes, you find that it is much better and vote it a 5.
We don't want to lose the history of the comments and voting reasons by just changing the Subject of the messages. Also, the date of the message indicates when the vote was made, so you can associate the vote with a particular version of the article.
I hope this helps.
Matthew

It has been weeks since I was able to view the Reputation History list. This does not work on my home machine or on my work machine. When it did work, I would have to refresh the page 5-10 times to see the list.
Not a really big deal, obviously not mission critical, but I can refresh that page till the cows come home, and nothing ever loads.

You are a victim of your own success. As your reputation grows it takes longer to extract all the data and present it. So after some finite time the extraction process times out and the screen remains blank. If you had never posted any messages it would have showed up immediately.

I will make sure I delete all my messages.

Could you please describe me he steps you take to view the list, along with OS, and browser you are using.
I can see your history list, and it is very fast to display. In fact Chris recent did some work to speed this up, so your having issues is worrisome.

I click on the gray reputation number/link in the upper right hand corner of the screen (i.e. 141K) and this page opens: (https://www.codeproject.com/script/Reputation/List.aspx) and nothing shows, empty list.

So, the page loads data fine when I have my ad blocker active. Page does not load data ever, when my add blocker is off.
No errors showing when I F12 on the page when ad blocker is active.
