Bookmark an article = vote(5)
-
I suggest that if a member bookmarks an article, it automatically counts as a vote of 5 for that article. Or at least it requires voting prior bookmarking What do you see ?

1. Bookmarking does not automatically mean "5". Contrary to popular bewlief, there are other numbers available between 1 and 5, some yet to be discovered. 2. "Before bookmarking, please vote" sucks. If I can't be bothered to vote, what is my vote worth?
Agh! Reality! My Archnemesis![^]

No. Bookmarking means I might find the article useful. It does not mean it's a good article. Cheers, Drew.

What do you mean by "good" ? I think useful = good = 4, very useful = very good = 5, useless = bad = 1 or 2, etc

I bookmark an article so I can find it later as the subject is interesting for whatever reason. At that point I may not have even read the article fully and have most probably not downloaded the code and studied it. Therefore I am in no position to cast a valid vote at that point.

Do you rank an article with 1 then bookmark it ?

You do not bookmark every article you read. And if I interrested in an article to the level made me bookmark it, I will not get bored when being asked for voting.

You already exited with the article so, you decided to bookmark to get benefits from it But voting will benefit the author rather than you, so you may do not care about it. I see it like, paying for none free articles, here you pay your vote rather than money.

OK, let me rephrase that. Bookmarking means I might find the article useful. It does not mean it's a well written article. My vote for articles is based on the quality of the article. Whether or not it's useful depends on the individual. Cheers, Drew.
em .. makes sense :^)

I frequently bookmark articles after reading just the title and first paragraph or so - I may not have time to go through the whole thing and the code at that moment, but I want to be able to come back to it later when I have more time. I wouldn't want that to be considered an automatic 5.

No way. I bookmark an article for one of two reasons. One that I read and I find completely awesome and needs to be within my quick reach or one that is there for me to read within the next few days because there is something about it that caught my eye. Its only the article that I read and find to be both informative and well written that gets a 5. However, with some writers (like Sacha Barber[^], Nishant Sivakumar[^] and Marc Clifton[^] [and believe me, this list is outrageously short, there are some proper geniuses here]) its almost a given that their article is both VERY informative and VERY well written.

To me it does... Perhaps the article itself is poorly written, but contains some valid concepts or code that I want to keep track of. I can bookmark just to keep track of some of the content but I am not committing that the overall quality of the article is anywhere near a 5, or even a 2 or a 3.

Heck no! I bookmark articles that are utter rubbish (other than my own) so that I can: 0) Go back and add ridicule later. 1) Maybe do some research to support my point of view. 2) Perhaps develop a "better" solution and provide that to the author. 3) Occasionally take a look to see if the article improved. And sometimes I hit "bookmark" accidently. :doh: Actually, I just bookmarked an old article by Marc Clifton that showed up as the Featured Article because I don't have time to read it now.

Like I said, that list is pathetically inadequate.
