There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I found an article whose main benefit is a DLL written by the author but provided in binary only. The article just shows how to use that DLL.
As Chris recently stated (probably in the article writing forum) such articles aren't welcome here.
Question before I go ahead and report that article here; assuming that the author would be willing to share the source of the DLL: Is an author able to pick up a closed article in order to publish an edited version? Otherwise I would wait if he responds to a message from me - but I assume he won't because the last time he responded to a message was in 2012. So if he can pick up the closed article I'd rather report it immediately lest I forget it altogether while waiting for a response.
Edit:
Please report the following article as being "Unclear or Incomplete" but do not report the author:

If he can't - and he shouldn't be able to IMO - it can be reopened for him by the staff if he choses to provide the code.
Certainly, we shouldn't leave "binary only" articles - if nothing else, we can't check what they are doing, much less how. So a binary that installs a keylogger, acts as ransomware, or just contains proprietary code is possible, and that should not be allowed.
I'd say: post the OP a message, and report it here for closure rather than deletion. If he is still interested, he can ask the Hamsters to reopen it for modifications.

Addendum: When you do report it, make sure to point out that the OP should not be reported, just the article.

Thanks Griff! Done.

No reason for me to report it. In this case it is a DLL of the author, in other cases there are DLL's from other sources.
Only my mind, don't take it too serious.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Thank you very much for this information. It is a very controversial discussion...most assemblies provided by MS are without source....
Anyway ok, it is like it is here, thanks again.

It's not controversial at all. Microsoft's DLLs are first-party components that are part of the platform. CodeProject is for sharing source code explaining how to work with these first-party(Microsoft) DLLs and executables.
We're not an app-sharing site, we're a source code sharing site.
cheers

Ok, you are the Boss. Meanwhile I posted Bugs and Suggestions - CodeProject[^].
So I think there are a lot of articles reffering not "sourced" libs.
It is only my mind, not worth to worry about.

Not fair, in my view, that this article is removed. There are other articles where you Need DLL's from any other suspicious(?) source.
Only my mind.

week?
I would go for semester... and not only for "steal it quick" but for "make it fast" as well, since last time the quality of many new contributions is dropping beyond limits (format, spelling, grammar, interest, relevance...)
BTW... article and user gone.
BTW_2... sometimes reported articles present "this is an auto-saved draft..." (this one was the case too). Please do delete it manually as protector, so that the "author" can not wake it up from limbo another time.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

No longer a "would-be" article - someone approved it!
