I have been noticing articles that aren’t being boosted. Decrease Alcohol Consumption is the one I just ran into, but I have seen others.

Thanks - Reuben is looking into this:slight_smile:Looks like we have an evil gremlin stealing articles out of NAB, haha.

I have a suspicion this is another of them: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Earthing-Device I’m working with the author at the moment, and I cannot find it in the NAB list, or a NAB edit in its history.

Thanks for reporting. It is helpful to post articles like that which haven’t been NAB’d yet, to help with my debugging. I am taking a break from this problem right now, but I’ll try to solve it again after finishing up some other stuff.

By the way, if anyone else sees patterns in the types of articles that aren’t being NAB’d, please let me know here. (But of course verify you’re right rather than guessing!) Random examples of possible patterns could be things like: - which editor created the article (ie, Guided Editor, Advanced, visual (html5) editor) - whether user creating article was anonymous or not - whether categorization or some other type of post-article-creation edit could have knocked it out of the queue Anyway, thanks for the help! We’ll get to the bottom of this.

@Ttrimm @Maluniu Keep the examples with details coming! It’ll really help Reuben figure out if there’s a way to solve this “NAB black hole” problem once and for all:slight_smile:

Sure sure? Hehe. I’ll stick my head in NAB tomorrow, thanks for the note.

I think my article slipped through as well. I remember finding it strange at the time. http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Find-in-Google-Chrome (30 January 2011) *Created with Guided Editor, I seem to remember (no HTML5). *Categorized directly from the article.

@Writelf it seems to say in the NAB Log that Teresa marked your article as patrolled back in January.

My new article did not appear in the NAB log, and @ttrimm says it isn’t in the NAB tool, so I thought I’d report it here. Harri renamed my article, so I thought that may have caused it. My original search turned into this search , only to have nothing show up again. I used both the Guided Editor and Advanced Editor. Guided to write the article and Advanced to move the images I uploaded from my camera and licensed as Public Domain. I assume it was renamed before someone using NAB got a look at it. I also saved many drafts and the article was answering a request. I also categorized my article after I created it.

18

That’s strange. I looked (several times in fact) and I could not find any record of my article. Do you have a link of this?

Click on NAB Log and you will see it.
