Please mention serial number of article so that this could be directly searched instead of clicking on your link above.
Abid,

please do not edit the articles before 31st. If you edit the article, please let me know so that i can re-approve it. Cause, if you edit article it will be sent for review again.

I am able to see the articles now. Gulshan, please check.
Is this really a contest??? If this actually is then what sort of a contest is it? I mean articles are submitted then if found not suitable in terms of higher cash credits authors are editing at will. So now if you see about the two best articles in the contest it is of Abid and Rajani. It is important to mention here that at first Abid's article was cash credited with Rs 60 then it got edited and cash credited with Rs 80 now. About Rajani, I am not sure if she has edited it or not because earlier I saw her article got cash credited with Rs55 and now She got Rs 70 for the same article. I feel these activities are similar to those like after submitting answer sheets in exam you are wanting it back for rewriting or correction. I think this is not fare...Now if you see in this contest the best articles are those that I mentioned above. Why? Just because they edited and resubmitted their articles a number of times. Now this contest seem to be a meaningless one and this is a contest of editing and resubmitting articles a number of times and getting higher cash credits and winning. I feel as if cheated...!
Ajay,

I havent edited my article after submitting as i havent visited the site after submitting at all..please dont be disappointed there may be some problems while giving cash credits. As previously one of my article was having similar problem. Anyhow if there are any changes in rules admin will inform.
My entry for the contest!

I must make it clear here that I was having problem with my Image Manager and Maverick had to fix that problem, hence you will find that I have re-edited my article but NOT changed any content but only inserted images in the article.
Guys, today is the last date for entries. Please go ahead and submit entries by today midnight.

How many times you edit, resubmit, the article content that is there at the end of the contest makes sense. Till that time why you want to restrict yourself from updating the content?

To make the things better and transparent, all authors, please do not make any changes after 31st midnight. The articles will not be published if edited after cutoff period and will subsequently removed from contest.
