Template #4 Issue #1
Jun 2, 2017
Well, it is not usual, but this is a text-only, static, article-like (not service) page, that requires no interaction. It can be displayed, despite the fact here is not too much to display.
Declined by admin
This page is optional, up to creator to support or not.

I don't think that this page is article-like

Kindly resubmit with a link to a template that handles this case well.
Template #2 Issue #2

the cover image is duplicated in the article
Stas
I think this is ok.
Accepted by admin
The cover shouldn't be duplicated: https://instantview.telegram.org/checklist#6-3-cover-images. If an image can't be removed from the context of the article, it is advisable not to use it as a cover.
Template #3 Issue #1
Jun 2, 2017
This is not the cover of an article, but the cover of a paragraph, if it can be named like that.
Accepted by admin
Yes, this photo should not be used as the cover, since it removes the photo from the structure of the article.

Page is missing source link

Oh, is it a source link? It is an advertisement!
Declined by admin
Note that source links are optional. See https://instantview.telegram.org/checklist#6-7-source-links
Template #5 Issue #2

Lost a link
werre our
Well, source page has a link, and it is an image that wrapped up in a link, so that link can't be presented correctly in IV.
https://instantview.telegram.org/docs#supported-types

It is unusual for the website. Also that link is duplicated in the text later and can be omitted.

Template #5 Issue #3

Lost a video
werre our
Original page has a video, like some other articles on the website. But it seems, that video has nothing to do with the article contents and can be omitted, since cannot be generated.
Accepted by admin
A video could potentially be considered non-essential, however, a template would still need to ensure that if a page did have an essential video, that it could display that video.

If it's not possible to ensure that essential content can be displayed, then an IV should not be generated.
Template #7 Issue #1

Missing cover
werre our
Sorry, but you haven't highlighted anything, so I'm not quite sure what you mean.
If you mean a cover from meta-tags, it is optional since does not exist in the source, see:
https://instantview.telegram.org/checklist#6-3-cover-images

If you mean an image that comes first, than it is not a cover, it is part if its own (slide?)
Declined by admin
The source page has no cover.

Into a browser user view just a part of article, 35 from the beginning. How he can understand that he must find 35 part of article?
werre our
As I said before, the trickiest thing here is weird redirection. rd.com don't like robots :D (like google or telegram). For example, try to open
http://www.rd.com/culture/costs-of-adoption/1/ and it will open the first slide. http://www.rd.com/culture/costs-of-adoption/2/ will redirect you to full page. Another example may be http://www.rd.com/culture/wedding-traditions-around-the-world which is always redirecting to a full page.

That means that if you want to change the slide, it will simply open the full article. This happens not always on 2 page, it can happen on say 35. From my point of view this is pretty misleading. What is more, it means that if you send first page, you will send a slide, if you send second, you send full article. Pretty tricky, but we can't fix backend.

What I want to offer is the same way of presenting articles, no mean what will happen. That's all. Unified presenting.
Accepted by admin
The content is missing. In your latest template you fixed it.

What is this? This is above the main topic

It means that the place is not a winner, but only a nominee. When the contest will come to the end some nominees (or maybe only one of them, I don't remember the rules exactly) will become winners. This information is essential and should be displayed.

Agreed with creator.
