If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

is a copy of http://zappysys.com/posts/sql-server-to-redshift-data-load-using-ssis/[^] (the image links in the article still point to there).

Even if he is related to the company, the article contains too much links to the 3rd party product.

Plagiarised definitely (reported).
The links seem to be genuine references (but I didn't check them all)

He reposted: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=173538&aid=1002086[^]

And I'd agree - plagiarisation.
Everything I google in that comes up copied from somewhere.

At first I thought it was just the usual "interview question" rubbish, but no - it's copied from here: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/168aad/basics-of-database-administration-in-sql-server-part-1/[^]

Now, why would you make the English worse in a document you copied, if it wasn't because you thought it would be spotted otherwise? Laugh | :laugh:

Is stuffed full of links to the same website: site driving spam.

His only other contribution to the site was the same thing, but posted as a question: deleted.

I'm not sure I agree with you on this one. Project Oxford is Microsoft's attempt to build a facial recognition system and all the links in this article go to the relevant websites for getting a key and for testing the API. Those are all official Microsoft sites, and they are appropriate resources to go with the code. Sorry, but this has lead to a legitimate attempt at an article being closed.

It's possible - but why also post it as a question under two usernames?
