On May 27th our members received a new and improved
submission form that assists in eliminating errors
during the submission process. Now articles can be
approved even faster. A lot of people have asked us
for a list of the specific errors the under-the-hood
logic is looking for, which makes a lot of sense.
What better way to avoid making errors than to know
in advance what those errors are?
So with that thought in mind, here's a list of the
items that are automatically checked when you submit
a new article. Each of these will result in an error
window asking you to correct it.
