Well, I was more curious that anything else. BTW, the article FAQ doesn't really explain how articles are selected for the competition (which is why this thread exists). Y'all might want to beef that up.

Cool. I have some additional questions.
0) As it sits for the September competition, there are currently six articles in the C# category, and two of them don't currently have any votes (and thus, a zero popularity). Is inclusion based on the N articles with the highest popularity in a given category? If so, does that mean an article can "fall out" of the competition if popularity goes down?
1) Is the number of entries limited to a maximum value? (This would make sense given that the number of articles submitted could be overwhelming from month to month).
2) Can an author have more than one article in a given category in the same month?
I'm not often in the competition (that I know of), so I'm simply curious about how it works.

0) I might misunderstand here. We didn't make the September competition yet?
1) Yup. No more than 10 per category. Many categories can't muster up enough entries to make it to 10 though.
2) No. They can have another article in another competition, however.

When you click on the September C# entry under competitions, there are several articles already listed. I figured it was the heuristics kicking in.

Those are just the latest articles with the tags associated with the competition. They aren't ranked or anything, just the latest newly posted articles (and possibly updates).

Hi
Trying to add my RSS feed to code project, but for some reason the feed is not being picked up.
I think I have followed what Code project request. (Add Code Project as a category).

Below is a code snippet of my RSS feed on the below link

Hmmm. The first thing I notice is that I don't believe the blog entries are long enough. They must be 1000 characters long, minimum.
Thanks,

Hi
I only show the short summary not the full content within the Description.
Should the description contain the full content of a the articular?

Hi
It seemed to have worked, but there is missing code elements within the body.
I'm going to look at that later.

Are the votes to a Tip/Trick not "weighted" depending on who is the voter as in Q&A or Forums or so?

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?

According to this[^], the answer no...

According to that, the answer is yes. Look at the second column for the tick against Tip/Trick is downvoted and Tip/Trick is upvoted. It even says that the vote is weighted in the text.

I understood it the other way around - I should have to wake up before reading it probably...
The points to the author weighted, the points to the voter not...

My answer to this question: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/1131514/Get-debit-credit-and-balance-in-datagridview-Cshar[^] contains SQL2012+ code:
SELECT ID, ITEMS_REF_NO, CR, DR,
SUM(CR - DR) OVER(ORDER BY ID
ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW)
AS BAL
FROM MyTable2
The same query in SSMS has additional highlighting for ROWS, UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, and the full CURRENT ROW
Be nice if the syntax highlighter added that as well.
Loooooow priority though - it doesn't affect anything in any significant way!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

The MSDN docs don't include UNBOUNDED PRECEDING, but ROW and ROWS are "Future reserved". It also looks like Microsoft hasn't updated (or published) a list of SQL 2014 or 2016 reserved words. All I can find is 2012.
I love standards.

From what I'm seeing it seems that it's a very rare situation that an article/tip does not pass moderation even if it has formatting problems, is incomplete etc. Very often a message is left to the pending article along with several reports but they still get through.
Does the moderation mechanism serve it's purpose, meaning, is it needed anymore after all?
Of course there are always the spammy wannabe articles but what if suspicious articles (containing links somewhere else than MSDN or other 'respected' sites?) would still have a moderation queue...
|

Rather than throwing out the moderation queue because of a few "approve-happy" moderators, surely it would be better to tighten up the requirements for being a moderator, and/or get Sean to pay a visit to the rogue moderators in whatever nightmare-inducing costume he's wearing this season, possibly accompanied by the ClueBat?

This is exactly my point A properly working moderation would be a benefit for all but at the moment it requires some work.

From the Article FAQ:
The way the moderation works is you have to receive five "Approve" items to be published, or five "Report / Needs help" items to reach a different article status. If five members Approve your article it will become live and available for all to see. If five members either "Report" or mark your article as "Needs help" your article status will become "Closed" and you will receive an email notification indicating who closed the article, why, and what to do
It seems to me that they need to increase the number of approvals AND increase the author level needed to approve from silver to gold. However, I've seen articles with as many as 20 "reports", and yet it remains in "moderation".

I'd agree to an extent, but I'd put that down to bad moderating rather than a process that isn't fit.
It still weeds out a lot of plagiarism and spam, even if some of the dross articles do get through that aren't ready yet.
Education of new moderators would probably help more than getting rid of the process.
