March Best Mobile
-
Why is my article, Using jQuery Mobile with MVC and Netduino for Home Automation, not in the competition for the best Mobile article for March?
The better question why this article is in the list: Async/Await Could Be Better[^] Did anyone actually read it or it gets selected by its size? The more words the better chanse to get into competition?

They fixed a bug in the site and got my article on jQuery Mobile in the list. The bummer is that 50 people already voted.
:( Can't vote as I already voted - Damn bugs. In January I got about 30 votes more than the second fellow in C++ category and you know the auditing process gave prize to the second article - no offence, the second article is still good, but I felt a bit sad. And yes, I felt a bit anger, but just let it go and taught of never expecting any thing again from CP. I suppose the votes of CP MVPs are valued more than the other regulars and they have a say in the process. As a consolation I got in Feb in the Mobile category which I never taught off.

CP MVPs have no say in the process. The auditing process looks to see if there has been suspicious voting patterns; you were probably unlucky there. Possibly several people from one organisation voted for you and this was deemed as being suspicious (I can't say whether or not this is true as I'm just an MVP and have no access to the voting logs). I can understand that you were upset, but you should probably have taken this up with the site admins at the time.

May be my colleagues, who have read it and appreciated it even before it got picked up for voting. Now why that should be a problem. It's a bit strange. Say if all my colleagues don't find my article worthy and finds the other guys article great and say if they have all voted for him, then for God's sake don't say that the guy's article will be kicked out as suspicious - is this fair ? :confused:

But the other article which got prize is one of my favorite for that month. So I just let it go and it wont make any sense at least to me to argue upon this. But to be frank I am a bit dejected :~

Yup, that is the way it should be. Only few admins should have access. In spite of this, I still find CP as a great place and the best for sharing the knowledge. I am a great fan of how this site is run by Chris and other supporting staff. I am just addicted to it and I am happy to be so. :)

Thanks for your message! I feel your pain ;) Congratulations on wining in the Feb Mobile category. You wrote a great 5 star article!!
:thumbsup: Your Home Automation with Netduino and Kinect[^] is one of the best drafted article I have seen. Just don't let your spirits down by this. They will surely appreciate you. After all there are very nice people out there in CP.

To answer the implicit question. There have been people, in the past, who created additional accounts just to vote for themselves. This is obviously unfair to people like yourself who let your articles stand on their own merits. The admins look to see if there are blocks of votes from newly created accounting the same IP address and remove them if there are. Unfortunately this can go wrong in the case we just looked at.
