When I open ' My articles page ' , there are many blank articles under ' Uncategorised Articles ', that I have not created. I am not able to erase those articles by click at the delete link below the name of the article. What could it be ?
All the best,
Perić Željko

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Sean can you have a look at this blog in the moderation queue?
A look at the internals of 'boxing' in the CLR[^]

Hi, Sean!
Yesterday you published update of my article Parsing and Decoding Values of Some Email Message Fields[^]
However, I don't see new date (1 Aug 2017) after publication.
I see old date of previous publication (30 Jul 2017).
Could you kindly make me clear on this?
Regards,

If you truly want his attention, you need to say his name three time.
|
|
|
|
|
I truly want to update article publication date, if possible.
And I don't know how to send message directly to Sean.
|

Like Beetlejuice? I guess I have my MVP certificate outfit for this year.
Thanks,

Possibly something to do with international time zones, as in Sean is in Canada?

Last update was made 1 Aug 2017.
Previous update was made two days before that (30 Jul 2017).
I don't think it's related to timezone.
Could someone else change the date?

When editing an article there is an "Update" checkbox in the editor. If you don't tick that box, the date is not changed and the article is not marked as updated (and shown again on the main page page).
You probably forgot to check that box and Sean has not edited your article (I guess he is shown as last editor because he approved the article so that it does not need 5 user approvals).
|
|
|
|

At first, I clicked "Update article" (at upper-right corner of the page).
During making changes I periodically clicked "save draft" button (beneath the article).
At last, I checked "I have read and agree ..." and finally pressed "Publish".
|
|
|
|
|
What about the mentioned checkbox "Mark this article as updated?" (located at the bottom on the right side when in the editor)?
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, there is no such a button (I don't see that).
I see only checkboxes:
"Publish", "Preview", "Save Draft", "Revert to last published ...", "Work in progress: don't publish"
|
|
|
|
|
The check box just above the "Revert to last published" button.
|
|
|
|
|
just above the "Revert to last published" button
I see checkbox "Work in progress: don't publish". Nothing else.
I can send you screenshot if needed.

I have such a button for my articles.
Maybe it depends on the reputation but I don't see a reason why it should not be there.
Then you have to wait for Sean entering the site in a few hours.
BTW: Why is the date so important for you?
If you are updating your article frequently it would be much better to provide a history section at the end of the article. So readers can see what has changed and when.
|
|
|
|
|
The date is important for me, because if article has an old date it isn't shown in "latest tip/tricks", so readers will not to view it.
I'd like to get feedback from readers.
Thanks for your assistance anyway.

I hope you will not edit your article frequently to get it pushed to the latest list. That would be abuse.
Most users will find your article by searching and not by visiting that list.
Feedback usually depends on the quality of the article. Be prepared that a good article gets only a few comments while a not so good one gets more.
|
|

Of course, no.
I don't make updates just only to push my article to the latest list.
Latest update was related to code changes.
I think it was essential improvement of my code.
But why don't use update to push up the article in that case?

You know that but a reader would not. If you have a history section as already suggested old readers will know immediately what has changed and new readers will see that you work on it. From my point of view that is much more important than a precise date on top (the history will then contain the exact date).
|

There was an editor note on your article that said "I just removed one empty line" so I didn't mark the post as updated. Looking at the revision history I can see there were a lot of changes. I have now marked it as updated.
Thanks,
