Hi,
My first article was Generic JqGrid Implimentaion in MVC[^] approved. But there is some error to display the images. Screenshot are not loaded. Why? Please help?
Thank and Regards,
Arun C

The images look fine to me. But you should consider changing it to a "Tip/trick". Articles tend to have more in-depth discussion, whereas this is just a series of screen-shots and code blocks.

This[^] should be published as an Article? I doubt it even as Tip/Trick because all there is about calling api. It has nothing to do with Sprint.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

Another article got accepted while it shouldn't: C++ in the modern world[^]
Should be a blog because it is a copy of a blog and has external images.
Contains images with unclear copyrights and missing attributions.
My comment post during approval:
Quote: Because this is a copy of your blog you should change the type to blog.
But more important you should provide attribution to the used images to indicate that you are allowed to use them. This does not apply to the images created by you but even those should have an indication.
I found at least the "Teach yourself c++ in 21 days" image which seems to be from Abstruse Goose | How to Teach Yourself Programming[^]. It is published under the Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 United States (CC BY-NC 3.0 US)[^] license requiring an attribution which is missing.
I'm sorry, but this can't be accepted while the image copyrights are unclear and required attributions are missing.
[EDIT]
I have reposted the above when the article went to moderation again after updating and the author replied. So he is hopefully adding the required information.

Article in question: Python Messagebox with QT[^]
There were two comments that this is not an article. But more important, I wrote a comment that it is plagiarised or may be site driving spam. I have not reported it because I gave the author the chance to answer and clarify.
My comment:
Quote: Your code example is mainly copied from pythonspot. So this may be reported as plagiarised which usually leads to closing your account too. See Re-using Code Samples in the CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ[^].
[EDIT]
If you are involved with pythonspot, this is of course not plagiarism but needs clarification. However, in that case this can be seen as site driving spam.
[/EDIT]
I did not report yet but strongly recommend to delete this or change it to comply with the CP requirements.
As already noted by others this is not enough for an article. But even as tip this does not add anything to the referenced sites which will be probably read by PyQt beginners. So I don't see any value with such an article/tip here.

Hello. Can I make changes in my article's title and then submit the article over again for the approval ?
Thanks.

It depends where you are submitting your article. If it gives you the permission of editting then you should edit your article and re-submit.

Some people appear to be approving anything without inspecting it.
For example, this alternative to one of my tips: Sending an Email in C# With or Without Attachments: Generic Routine[^] has nothing to do with emails at all, and a message was posted to it when it was in moderation about that. I think it's supposed to be an alternative to this tip: Retrieving IP and MAC addresses for a LAN[^] but only the OP can say for sure.
It should have been obvious to anyone actually reading it that there was nothing email related here - so I can only assume that some moderators are just approving anything. That lowers the standard of the articles, and that's not good for the site as a whole.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Sending an Email in C# with or without attachments: generic routine.[^] is what the OP has mentioned in his tip.
Anyway moderators should know that they are not bound to act on all the items which comes for approval. I don't even try to approve/comment any articles if its not in my domain (which means 75-80%).
cheers,
Super

Yes...but the Alternative which has just got through is to do with getting IP and MAC addresses on a network, not email...

I already proposed to make "semi-public" (only for CP Staff, mentor, protectors... or whatever group / combination) who was approving.
That way could be possible to react and bring the quality back. I agree with you that there are many "minions" or "friends" and/or "nice" people approving what it gets in moderation.

They are actually articles.
There's been a bit of scope creep with what is considered an article and what's a tip.
From the Submission wizard page:
What is an Article?
An article is typically either a tutorial that allows someone to learn about a technique or technology, or an explanation and documentation for code that you are uploading. Articles outline the problem you're trying to solve, the techniques you're using, and a simple explanation of how to use your code or techniques. Interesting gotcha's or trivia are always welcome.
What is a Tip/Trick?
A tip has the same layout as a regular article but is meant primarily to provide a quick coding solution or tip [...] Tips simply state a problem and a solution.
MAybe I need to clarify that, but it comes down to
- Articles can be short.
- Tips are super-quick Problem/Solution pieces.
SO if something starts getting into an explanation that's teaching you background, providing multiple screen shots, maybe has code, looks to be getting longer than a couple of paragraphs, then I'd start considering that an article.
cheers

I am not 100% sure but I think there is a problem with the "edit" function. IMHO it should keep the current type, but I think it goes back to "article" as default. That's why many Tip/Tricks end converted to articles after an update.

Hi Chris,
I would suggest a bit uniformity. For me the descriptions on:
Code Project Article FAQ - Article[^]
Code Project Article FAQ - Tip[^]
are a bit different than the ones in the wizard page.
What I usually use as explanation when I get a question of "why?" to my comments in approval queue is:
Quote: A post can contain 2500 words but it still being a tip. I don't think it is a matter of length
The biggest difference for me is the learn effect. Let's suppose the same topic.
Option 1:
You just say click here, choose that, use this code, click there...
This is a tip, no matter how long.
Option 2:
You need to click here to choose the option X1, because that will set the property Y1 that you need to make Z1. If you prefer to do Z2, then you will need to use the property Y2. Once you have done this, you should see that... Once done with this you can use this code to implement the functionality XXX. The code itself will do YYYY (commenting things that are not obvious seeing the code). I made several tests before taking this approach, this was my best option because...
This would be an article.
Do you agree with it? I am just curious.

Hi
I saved an article which is in work progress state but now it is disappeared from my profile.
Can someone please restore it for me.
The title is 'All you need to know about scoping in Javascript'
|
|
|
|
|
Drafts are also shown on the Submit a new Article[^] page; any chance you can find it there?

Usually the drafts are there but nothing is there in this occasion.
|
|

|

I see. Unfortunately I cannot help you then, you'll probably need to wait for a staff member to respond.

Thanks for trying anyway. I'll wait for a staff member to see if they can restore it for me.
I have spent days to compile it. Hope they could restore it.
