(A likely possibility :laugh: ) How does one go about approving an article. I have the privilege for it now but I can't figure out how to do it.

At the top of the article you will see a box, within which is a line like: Approve or report this article: with a box to the right. Hover your mouse over the box and you will see the possible choices. At the bottom of the article are the forums for making comments to tell the author whether you liked it or if you have suggestions for improvement, or why you are rejecting it.

It still takes votes: you can't do it on your own. Go to the Home page: http://www.codeproject.com/[^] and look on teh right hand side: There is a section "NN items need approval" - wave you mouse over and a list will appear. Pick a subject you know something about (which will be more than the author does for many of 'em) and click on it. Examine, read, and decide. Then you just use the icon next to "Approve or report this article:" to select one of teh options. It's a good idea to include a message at the bottom when you reject though, as without that it's difficult if not impossible for the author to improve. Oh, and you'll need a link here as well: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1652005/Spam-and-Abuse-Watch.aspx[^] to mark up plagiarism and spam. And there is a lot of that! :laugh: Please, don't let rubbish through, no matter who it came from, and first time plagiarists generally get a warning rather than an "Spam and abuse" posting, unless they have been here long enough to know it's a big no-no. Spammers just get marked in S&A, and terminated with extreme prejudice!

Premium authors don't go through the approval queue so you have to hunt them down in other ways :rolleyes:
