It would be nice if the authors of Tom's articles would reference at the end of the article a related sticky for addition information/ideas, if applicable.
I'm using this article as a reference only since it is the one that got me thinking about this. The recent article
Beginners Guide to Selecting a Motherboard is similar in concept to
Proximon's Sticky and
jbakerlent's sticky. Granted Tom's article is an update to a 2006 article (wasn't aware of that at first) but all three share a similar concept in how they are trying to help beginners. It would've been a nice touch to make a reference to these stickies in the article. I understand the author is an expert and is getting paid to write & provide the valueable information. At the same time, the authors of these stickies are providing just as valueable of information to the forum posters.
It would be a nice way to tie the articles to the forums and to give a little thanks to the forum members who put time & effort into providing Tom's users with useful information (for free).
