Thanks for the answer, Sean!
So it means that only the rating is taken into account? If that is the case, then I suppose someone could post an article at the last minute of the month and vote himself a five. Then it would have higher chances to be in the top 10 for that month than an article posted in the first day of the month, which got much more visibility, but as well more chance to have received votes of 4 just because it was exposed for more time.
For example, how would an article that received 10 votes of 5 (thus averaging 5.00) be compared against another that received 1000 votes of 5 and 1 vote of 4 (thus averaging somewhere around 4.99)? Would the first be ranked better than the second, or is there some correction applied to this situation?
Best regards,
Cesar

Chris touched the rating algorithm recently I thought, but that might have been only for very specific scenarios. Here is the calculation:
Code Project Rating and Reputation FAQ[^]
You must consider the popularity of the competition as well. There's a lot of C# related articles on CodeProject. I'm going to unofficially call it "The Big Leagues." You find a lot of top authors there and a lot of the best articles, perhaps because that's where most articles and authors go. Web Dev is also a fierce competition.

How could I miss that 
Thanks for the answers Sean, and thanks for pointing out that my article was in the Database section, Pete! I hadn't even thought about looking there, but I guess it makes lots of sense since it was mostly about interpreting and extracting information from tabular data.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Cesar

How is it possible to update the "download source" in an article / tip?

I have an article relating to Sitecore that is on a web site that is about to be removed. The article was written 2 years ago and is a little dated. However, the site it is on gets about 2000 hits a month and the article seems to still to be useful.
Whilst I do not have the time to update this article for 2015, it would be a simple task to publish to Code Project 'as is' with a short introduction explaining that it is two years old. Would it be acceptable for an old article being re-published in this way?

Then why don't you just add a section for the upgrade? Like: "Welcome to the present" or something like that where you post the new content, but leave the old there as well.
Sometimes an old long well explained article is better and teaches more than a new more efficient but short content.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
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.

I would like to add a message that stays at the top of the article comments.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Hmm. I think so. Which message would you like to be sticky?
Thanks,

Apparently it has to be a new post. Would you be willing to repost that, so I can make the new post sticky?

Actually I am thinking it through now, it cannot be done  Unless you want me to post a comment on your article forum for you (but it would under my name).

I don't mind if it is posted by you.

Done! I changed the phrasing slightly to make sense since I was posting it.
That people are still coming to the code after 8 years is amazing. Thanks again for sharing it with the community!

No problem. My only issue is that they keep asking the same question. "How do you block key presses".
Thanks

It needs 5 approvals. It will automatically get published once it receives sufficient votes.

This member[^] has an 'article' and a tip...not only those are almost identical, but also the article is definitely not an article...
He got some opinion on this but still the article got approved as article and the tip as tip...
I think that the best solution is to merge the two into a single tip, or in the less ideal case change the article to tip too...
