Do your articles end in the wrong category?

Sometimes my articles goes to the wrong category too. But you don't need to worry because you can fix it. Go to your "my content" tab, on your article list, there will be "request relocation sub tab" (as far as I remember it's beside the "share sub tab). Then choose the right category for your article. It usually takes 24 hours for it to be relocated. Good luck!

There are instances when categories overlap. Today you can't differentiate between politics and corruption the same way as you can't distinguish sports from fashion. I wanted to write a satire on attire and it invariably ended up in the wrong category fashion. I had no remotest intention of informing my readers anything about the latest fashion trends. My only purpose was to point out the discrepancies in a few contemporary costumes. I wanted to write something about cats, but it was actually a humorous article. I didn't find any category called 'animals' so I had to submit it in 'humor' that not only underestimated its content but also narrowed down its scope. There are several instances when I failed to decide the right category for my article. I published an article on a game that I have been playing for the past few days. So I chose the 'gaming' category. I don't have the slightest idea how it ended up in 'Authspot'. However, the next article that I published on the same game was published in a relevant site.

My photos end up in the wrong category ALL THE TIME! That's mostly because when you submit a photo, Triond doesn't let you select a category like you can when you submit an article... they pick a category for you based on your tags. And most of the time the categories they pick are really bizarre!

I had that once, I wrote an article on writing, but it got placed on Authspot. I didn't really mind, though. But I understand your frustration. Under crime? How strange. I don't think they even read the articles before it gets categorized, it probably happens automatically.

I'm still laughing at that one! Is the computer that chooses the category a lot smarter than we think? I've had a couple of articles where I had to re-submit to get in the right category. I'm glad that Triond has a way to fix those kind of errors!

Hmmm as my point of view I think there is connected to the tags your given might be they found a word that connected to such category have now, that's why happened. In article moderator online they are using one kind of software that scan or read the whole data then automatically determine because if it is manually or reading one by one it will take time, let 1000 or more articles per day submitted, they are unable to read and scan, so most probably special software... see you around

This post has reminded me of the category system that was in place here at Mylot. I never ended up with any of mine being wrongly categorised, but have encountered many that were. Of course a lot of those could be due to the poster placing them in a wrong category in the first place.

Every now and again, it does get into some interesting categories. Which where it could kind of sort of fit, I guess but it is interesting. Then again, I just wonder if the Triond people do not really pay attention to the articles all that much, just post them wherever they might fit. Then again, who knows, who really knows, but there can be a few weird choices.
