Currently each article has a Send to a friend button at the top, and a bunch of buttons at the bottom for Digg, Del.icio.us, etc. I suggest you just have one Share button at the top, with a drop-down menu. See http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/[^] for an example.

I've seen the small 'Share' links you mentioned (but not actually on that page) and was thinking exactly the same thing.
Something like Add This[^]?

I found this interesting one when checking Vikram's profile.
On his profile page, it says he has two articles whilst his article list says only one article.

Hi,
I have published 5 articles so far, and started preparing a sixth one a month ago (using the publication
wizard). Ever since my article count alternates between 5 and 6, it seems to me different servers use different algorithms to count them (and/or the CP team is changing the code all the time  ).

Thanks for reporting.
I will investigate the issue, and will provide the explanation,
or open the bug tomorrow.
Sincerely,

Hey Mustafa,
Dr WJB's profile shows 2 articles, and there are 2 articles listed in his article list. Note sure if Elina fixed this overnight.

Is there perhaps any easy way to take over ownership of an article, with the orginal authors consent of course.
There is an article on CP that has not been updated by the author for the last 5 years. I have made some additions to the source code listed in the article which I am sure the community would benefit from but I don't want to create a new article just for that. I also don't want to add the modifications/addtions in the comments section as it will probably be missed by lots of people.
There should also be a way to take over ownership of an article if the original author is no longer an active member of CP and cannot be contacted.

Just write your own article and post it.

I don't think what I've added warrants the creation of a whole new article.

It's unfortunate that there's currently no way to link the old article to your new article, but I agree with what John said.

I am not sure but reading through the Article Submission guidelines, at least with the current CP Article norms, this particular situation seems to be hitting against a hard wall.
I would like to quote the following from Article Submission page.
Submitting an article based on another person's work<br />
<br />
It is OK to use others code as a base as long as you make it totally clear that some/most of the code isn't yours. If you use someone else's code then DO NOT remove their copyright notices. There is a lot of code reuse here, that's the point after all. As far as the articles that are being posted here we expect to see credit where credit's due, in the code and the HTML as appropriate.<br />
<br />
If you are submitting a modification, extension or correction to another persons work then we ask that you attempt to contact the original author first and then try to liaise with him/her to produce an update to the original article. This way we can retain continuity with the original article as well as reducing the number of completely new pages that need posting.

We are completely revamping this to allow exactly what you are asking for.
It's long overdue.
However, there's a further issue I'd like your input on: what about articles that have been abandoned by members who no longer visit or care? Do we hand them to the community after doing our best to contact the author, or do we leave them intact and provide a simple "relationship" link?

Chris,
how about:
1. leave the article the way it is (the original author remains the owner, he may still return)
2. offer the entire article (source+code+...) to whomever expresses a desire to adopt it
3. add to the original article a notice this has happened
4. if a new article results, add a link from the original to the new one

There are probably good reasons to keep the original article + download intact, including the possibility that the modified article might be a total poochscrew. I suggest that a button be prominently displayed on modified articles, that will take the viewer to the original (abandoned) article.

That's great news.
I think it's important to have additions etc stay within the same article. Even if you have a link pointing to an updated article people will still miss it. I do see a problem, as Hans pointed out, that the person who takes over the article might screw it up. Maybe the contributions of the new owner can be clearly delineated within the original article and have an option for the community to rate the new owner's contribution so that if it falls below a certain rating then the added section gets removed from the original article.
