IV issues
φIncorrect dates
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/super.cz/template7
Looks like the template creator uses custom logic for date parsing which messes up months. So it's parsed as July instead August, July instead of June and so on.
Examples:
- https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/super.cz/template7/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.super.cz%2F516860-ty-plavky-mohla-rovnou-sundat-veresova-se-pochlubila-zhavou-fotkou-sexy-zadecku-v-tangovych-bikinach.html
Date in IV: "01 Jul 2017, 20:56"
Should be August.

Date in IV: "30 Jun 2017, 05:55"
Should be July.

Missing author and image
Author name is missing, though this site has special formatting for author names.
Image embed at the top is missing.
And the template shows one-pixel ad tracker image
Missing video link
The image at the bottom is actually a video link. It even has a Play button on the source page.
It is shown as an image and the link is lost.
IV isn't generated for supported video
YouTube video. The next template does support it:
Missing image link
The image at the bottom is a link. Link is missing in the IV.
The article is about a decease and the link refers to a website about its treatment. So it seems to be essential for the article.
In any case it's incorrect to show the image but not the link.
Tiny preview is used instead of a full-size image
This is how it looks on the source page:
The template shows a small preview. Though a full-size image could be obtained from "srcset" attribute.
The issue will occur each time the page has such a preview.
Similar issues were accepted before for mine and others templates.
Broken domain
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/alpha.virgool.io/
This site is completely broken. It doesn't show a single page.
Seems like it should not participate in the contest.
Also note that the only template is "Template #1" submitted on May 30, so basically no one could touch it during the whole contest.
Missing subtitles
This site has real subtitle right above the title:
Though this template uses a summary text as a subtitle, so the real subtitle is lost.
Using summary as a subtitle is optional.
But loosing a real subtitle is a valid issue.
This formatting is common for the site. Every page I checked just now has it.
Missing pagination for multi-page articles
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/bab.com/template2/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbab.com%2FNode%2F290871
This site has multi-page articles. Note the pagination at the bottom of this one.
Also I want to specifically point out that this is not a "related articles" or something.
Regular articles do not have such pagination.
That's essential for such articles.
Missing image link
The image at the top is a link. The link is missing.
I'm not sure if it should be treated as a partner site link. It does not seem to have distinct formatting.
In any case, showing the image but not the link is incorrect.
Also, this templates shows a one-pixel ad tracker image at the bottom:
And it shows a subtitle consisting of site name and author name:
Missing image links and inappropriate covers
- https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/idownloadblog.com/template1/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.idownloadblog.com%2F2017%2F01%2F24%2Flets-talk-ios-171-pen-pineapple-apple-pen%2F

On every of these pages the "Subscribe on iTunes" image is a link, which is missing in IV.
It possibly could be removed since there's a "Subscribe via iTunes" in the list above.
Though I would argue against, because it's author content, and removing author content is a sloppy road.
In any case, showing a image but not the link is incorrect.
Also, covers on these pages seem inappropriate. They contain a category title (repeated in the page title) and are the same for every page.
IV is not implemented for whole subdomains
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/jagran.com/
None of templates support whole inextlive.jagran.com and naidunia.jagran.com subdomains
Examples (I'll post a link to the first template, please use CHECK NEXT TEMPLATE button):

Missing text and images
- https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/j-cast.com/template4/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.j-cast.com%2Fbookwatch%2F2017%2F08%2F02005861.html

Images and text blocks at the top are missing on every page of this category.
Missing essential polls
The template: https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/j-cast.com/template4/
Now visit the page: https://www.j-cast.com/vote_list.html (note the "vote_list")
Every publication from this list contains an essential poll.
For example: https://www.j-cast.com/trend/2017/08/02304839.html
The title is "セブンティーンアイス、どれを選ぶ? ネットで議論ぼっ発" which is translates to "Seventeen Ice, which one to choose? Discussion on the net".
After follows a text on the subject and a poll. The article is implies a poll, it's basically all about the poll. Also remember that we get there from "vote_list".
Similar issue was accepted for my template.
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/the42.ie/template17/issue1/
The reasoning is sound and applies here as much:
- It's not a meaningless "what do you think?" thing.
- It's related to the article, and the article implies it. It actually seems like the purpose of these articles is to let readers to know the opinion of other people on the internet.
- It's not a one-off case. There's a whole list of such poll articles.
Parts of advertisement section are not removed
The text "A cikk az ajánló után folytatódik" ("The article continues after") is a part of the ads block.
It's totally rudimentary and confusing. It should be removed.
Some more examples of it to show that it's not a one-off case:

Caption lines are merged together without any separation. "Dwi AvionoHead"?
It's the same for the whole section. It reveals a flaw in caption handling logic of the template.
Also, these blocks are info about a publication author. They are possibly a rudimentary content.
IV generated for dynamic page
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/hvg.hu/template6/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhvg.hu%2Fvideo
Note the URL (/video)
Inappropriate covers cause structure breakage
This image is followed by its description which makes no sense if it's separated from the image.
While this site does not use special formatting for caption, the intention in this case is clear. It may not be required to be a caption, but the structure should not be broken.
This is why you should be careful taking cover images from the article body.
Besides, these images on this site are generally inappropriate for a cover, because really small:

Missing essential interactive widget
This is a "competition" post. It has "[Конкурс]" in the title, and at the very end of the article there's "Участвовать в конкурсе:" text followed by a competition widget.
The widget is missing in the IV.
This is not a one-off case, there's a number of such posts already and the author is likely to make more in the future.
