Url convention: article/1234/article-name vs articles/1234/article-name

Question

I asking just for your opinion, of what make more sense.

Currently, this is my design:

www.site.com/articles                     <-- list
www.site.com/article/1234/article-name    <-- details
www.site.com/article/write                <-- write new article

Is is make sense too you? or article's make more sense?

Can you tell me what can be wrong with this approach?

Answer 1

The scheme is reasonable, but I wouldn't make any user try to remember raw URLs for hand entry.

Answer 2

For me (not that it matters)...but I'd use either article or articles...but not both

www.site.com/article                      <-- list
www.site.com/article/1234/article-name    <-- details
www.site.com/article/write                <-- write new article

www.site.com/articles                     <-- list
www.site.com/articles/1234/article-name   <-- details
www.site.com/articles/write               <-- write new article

and of those two, the second looks better to me...
