Template #2 Issue #1

Except the <table> you can display other stuff from this page
Odwalla
I'm sorry to inform tou that the table you are mentioning have more than 2 rows so should be unsupported, otherwise it's unreadabl, for other info see https://instantview.telegram.org/checklist#6-8-1-tables
Declined by admin
The original article contains complex tables. Complex tables are unsupported content.
https://instantview.telegram.org/checklist#6-8-1-tables
(We may consider this issue if you include a link to a template that fully supports the content in question.)
Template #3 Issue #1

Table can be converted into fieldset
Declined by admin
Issues regarding articles with unsupported content may be considered if they include a link to a template that handles the disputed content well.

Note though that a template supporting tables would need to properly support other types of tables as well, otherwise not generate an IV for those articles if the table support would corrupt the IV.
Template #11 Issue #2

This is a multipaged article and paging links are missing
Odwalla

"Live Blog" articles are, for definition, live and so updated multiple time in different days, there could be cases in which IV's cache will contain outdated information, and that's unacceptable

In your case I have to scroll to the bottom of the page to reach a certain section.

Essential photo and essential table.
Photos aren't supported in tables, so can't be generated an IV page.

You can't remove a photo that gives relevant informations to the article

Duplicate issue 1
Template #45 Issue #1
Feb 14, 2019
Page need an IV
kk
Though some other members figured out how to squish images into tables, it feels like it's indeed a bad practice. Even the checklist says that complex tables should be marked as unsupported.

For instance check this issue that I've just raised. Does that page look normal to you? What happened to the poor image?
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/anandtech.com/template47/issue3/

I don't think it's worth doing this only because of a couple of legacy pages.

Accepted by admin

Template #48 Issue #2
Feb 15, 2019
It's a good idea to format this as related block at the end of the article
Fabio Murru
Those are navigation links, cannot absolutely be considered as related articles, they are not "thematically correlated", they are part of the article.

Showing them as related can only confuse the user

Is the video above the selected paragraph only missing or is it unsupported?
Fabio Murru
The video it's not part of the article, only a playlist of kind of related videos added via javascript, thus can be omitted

Template #50 Issue #3
Feb 17, 2019
Nowhere is reported the timezone, even in the <script> where you extracted the info, how can you be sure that the date is UTC?

In this case is, it more correct to apply "If conflicting dates are stored in multiple places on the source page, preference should be given to the time that is visible to the ordinary user who views the page in a browser."? (6.1.2)
Fabio Murru
The timezone it's said directly in the article 11:30 AM EST, means Eastern Standard Time

https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zones/est
Declined by admin
Supporting timezones is optional. The date itself is correct.

Template #58 Issue #1
Feb 18, 2019
not sure if there is a need to remove links to buy this product, because in fact the article is about what kind of keyboard to buy
Fabio Murru
The link it's marked as "ShoppingWidget", in this page is displayed only as a link, but often is rappresented as a widget of amazon and usually it's not essential.

In this case you can see a little above in "Cougar AttackX3 ($60)", the price contains the link to amazon, so the information isn't lost and the template only deleted a duplicate

Keeping them is optional.

static page must be generated for IV
Fabio Murru
"Live blog" pages, contain dynamic content updated many times, although this is a 2017 article, and is unlikely to be updated again, we can't know for sure.

There is the possibility with this category of articles that the cache of telegram could contain outdated informations.

Also an issue like this has already been evalued: https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/anandtech.com/template5/issue1/

Just don't whine that it's not supported like you did here. And then fixed it in the next resub.

https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/anandtech.com/template44/issue3/
Fabio Murru
I'm sorry, in that issue I didn't know the existance of the <pic> tag, and as soon as i found out I fixed the template, images inside tables are actually supported.

In this case the problem is not the image, there is a table inside a table, this is really a complex table that is not supported, in fact the element is marked with "@unsupported" in the ...after part
Declined by admin
While the issue creator (kk) might have solved the issue with this specific site, there might be more complex sites which would break because of something like that.

Apart from that we are talking about a site from 1999 - not really a target page. These old articles barely get shared via Telegram anyway.
Template #62 Issue #3
Feb 21, 2019
Sometimes it's hard to select figcaption like when it goes in the next paragraph. In this case it exists in the same paragraph as the image above it.
Fabio Murru
It's not a rielable way to identify a caption, there are many cases where there could be text and images in the same paragraph

Image captions. Can be identified, see my template.
Declined by admin
1) The template creator did use them as caption
2) The text can't reliably be identified as a caption and hence it's optional to support

Some empty paragraphs. Probably not a valid issue just letting you know.

Also sorry for issue #4 I didn't see it's a caption because it's not in italic.
Declined by admin
While it's great to remove empty paragraphs, it's not critical enough to decline an otherwise perfect template.

Feb 22, 2019
In link preview, "Back to post" link is not a good candidate to description. It's better to just remove description for galleries.
Declined by admin
Keeping the "back to post" is actually quite helpful. The link preview could indeed look better, but it's not critical enough to decline the whole template.
