They are not, and reporting it as you did is the correct action.

Annoyingly some idiots have approved this article despite my outstanding questions to the author which needed clarification including, which license agreement really applies and could the author please attach a copy of the code to the article.

I've reached out the author to help straighten it all out.

Does that include the license for it? And could you reach out to whoever approved it and deliver mighty slaps?

I'm speaking to him about the license as well. I'm not sure there are mighty slaps to give on this one, near as I can tell it was community approved. Chris and I are talking about changes to prevent this kind of thing from happening. In the meantime your reports and requests for mighty slaps are very valuable.

Shirley you're not telling us that you don't know who's doing the approval. Please, please tell me it isn't so!

In most cases I can see who approved something. If it was community based I should be able to see a list of people who made reports on it. If it is an editor or trusted author (in most cases, myself or Chris or Deeksha), then I can see which one of us it was, but if we remove the reports on the article during that process, I can no longer see which community members approved it / reported on it. There seems to be an edge case where (as in this scenario) it says it's approved by an editor or trusted author but I cannot see an editor tied to it. I'm wondering if there's a scenario where a trusted author is actually reporting the article with a negative report and somehow this is getting counted as an approval. We don't have a lot of trusted authors, though, as far as I know. Certainly not active ones who tend to make reports on the article queue.
Obviously this isn't the intended ideal of seeing reports and approvals on articles in the queue, but as I said, we're making changes.

It would be worth to consider to make that approval list visible for a group of people as I already suggested in a couple of times. Please take it in consideration with Chris

I believe I can see an error here, they should not be removed, just set to Inactive.

11 years ... he's been a member of CodeProject longer than I have. I'd like to slap on the wrist this one. Can we please hold off the firing squad for now? I've removed the article and explained the circumstances to the author.

If the articles/tips are really "Copied" by any author, but if the member is from long time with CP (if his contribution is also good) then we should not fired him directly, Instead we can intimate/explained him about that.
obviously this case should be applied on old members only

No way
Exactly due to the "old user" they should know about the rules better than newbies and be aware of them
If the hamsters consider it worth, they can reinstaurate the account.
In this very case I read Sean's Request to not report and I respect it, but in usual mode... I will report plagiarism no matter if old user or new one.
The only gray zone for me would be, if the user has been really very active contributing with quality items just in case he forgot to give credits. But in this case a slow and deep check on all his contributions would be the next action. If we find a second piece copied... then no mercy

It was still saved as auto draft and gave the possibility to "work on it" and bring it back to life. I have deleted the draft as well.
I have seen this behavior quite often last time. Maybe a bug? I will raise it in B&S just in case
