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.
Thanks,

I've removed the links to article and author from the original post.

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

I already told him to consider the change, no answer so far

His article has mentioned.
Quote: This articles was originally at wiki.asp.net but has now been given a new home on CodeProject. Editing rights for this article has been set at Bronze or above, so please go in and edit and update this article to keep it fresh and relevant.
What does it mean? I am not sure about copyright laws at wiki.asp.net..
cheers,

Hang on a moment...what is going on here?
The "author" of that is not a Bronze anything - so if that was the original article that Hamsters gave a new home to when wiki.asp.net closed, he can;t have edited it - so his hame shouldn't be at the top.
And when it first arrived in the moderation queue, it wasn't an update, it was as a new article - which is backed up by the revision history.
So either he has copied and pasted the article (which I don't think is true, as it would have shown up of searches and it doesn't for me at least), or he copied that header in to try and "swing it through" as an article when it patently isn't. Which smacks a bit too much of abuse for my taste.
@sean-ewington - Any thoughts?

I meant "as an article on CP", not on the original site. The Hamsters moved them some time ago - gotta be a year by now!

It's not as insidious as it appears, for some reason we allowed user contributions to that section. I've switched that off.
I did find some plagiarism in there so, bye bye birdy.

Thanks Sean!
There was another "odd" one in there, so I've had a quick look and sure enough it's plagiarised as well. I reported it above. I suspect these two had the idea that contributions there wouldn't get looked at so hard...

That @membername thingy - is it some special feature, like alerting that member of your message?

If you look at a users page, it's below the username.
Just type that and the system does the conversion and send the email for you.
In your case it's @SaschaLefevre - atsign SaschaLefevre with no space.

I don't know how it got approved, but I already spoke with the author and told him to repair it and not to use images. I got an answer thanking the tip about the images.
Give him the possibility to change it.

Anyway, I will ask him again to repair it.
