You posted again on May 1 and that article has now replaced the bad
one, so I can't look at it and see why it was archived. In general,
though, the archive script grabs articles for the non-*.answers
archive areas based on their Subject headers. We do our best, but
it's hard to make it very picky.
That's a big part of why we recommend that people advertise the
*.answers archive locations instead, where articles are only saved if
they come to news.answers, and where they're stored by Archive-name.
For your FAQ, of course, that's
