Hi Nirosh, It looks like the original post date for the article is April 1st 2010. This means it won't be applicable to the June competition
Thanks, Sean Ewington The Code Project

Hi Sean, Thanks for the reply. Yes, the original post date was April. But that was not the published date. I kept on editing it without making it public. Somewhere in the middle of June only I published it. So I think there is a mistake in the logic you guy use to find articles belong to a particular month. I think it has to be the published date not the date that I add the article to your version control system. Let me know, if I am not right..

:laugh: Yes surely.... I too can play in the big league.. Nish, I happen to follow you initially. Your articles are impressive. You are in the big league.. But me, I initially thought that these competitions are not for us 'who are non native English speakers'. But suddenly with couple of my previous articles I was getting better, and started to feel more confident. Then with my last article, I realized that I too can win and I am also in that big league. But I was not lucky, that article was not being selected for the competition.. not a big thing.. I will give it another try if they didn’t find a workaround to get me in this time.. Anyway there are much better articles in the list than mine too..

If that's so then yeah, it's this date that should be used when deciding whether an article fits within a competition date range. Until that's resolved, I guess authors could delete and make a fresh submission when they think the article's ready. Try and pester Sean into allowing your article to participate in next month's competition :-)
