Article gets points, but not those ones (5)

I believe the answer is:

these

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not those ones' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'article gets points' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'points' becomes 'se' ().
'the'+'se'='THESE'

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for these that I've seen before include "Pronoun for people or things" , "This lot" , "The items indicated here" , "Teh other ones from those" , "He set (anag)" .)
