"Hello, down here!"

I would just like to remind everyone that the pending submissions page doesn't consist solely of the first five stories you see. Stories at the bottom of the page were submitted before those at the top, so the fair thing to do would be to check those for approval first.

You also have the option of changing the order that pending submissions are displayed in from the default "By latest", which shows the newest submissions first, to the second of four(4) options, namely "By oldest" via the drop-down menu in the top-right area of the page, just left of the headline "Pending Content". You can also sort the page "By hottest", which displays the story with the highest temperature first and "By approvals", where those with the highest number of approvals out of five(5) are shown first.

Now, sometimes two articles that are virtually the same can have headlines that are different enough that the site won't warn you that it's already been "Approved" or is already "Pending". This has happened to me numerous times before, so I know how it can catch you off-guard. To lower the chances of it happening, try extracting certain words or small pieces of a sentence (no more than six[6] words) from either the title or the body of the article being submitted and type that in the "Title" textbox. To avoid tedium, do this mainly when 11x2 only warns of few (four or less), or no possible duplicates.
