Totally agree with you

most of the worst contributions are just for that reason. And that is the pity. They are publicing bullsh... and reducing the quality just to say... hey I have an article in CP

Which actually is galaxies away of the original goal of the site and the regular users.

Article: YQL, XML, Yahoo APIs and C# - CodeProject[^]
User: [deleted; see below]

Copied and pasted the definitions from Web API - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^] without even changing the font.

[EDIT]
Author replied immediately to my comment on the article that he will update it. Because he already has an article and three tips that are OK, I suggest to not report his account this time when the above article is gone or updated.

Article: Application communicate with Iot using MQTT and MOSQUITTO broker[^]

The user and his other articles has been nuked already due to plagiarism (see Plagiarised article(s) - CodeProject[^]).

The above slipped through (probably reposted and accepted) but is plagiarised too. Search for "(sometimes referred to as verbs)" and you will find it copied from MQTT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^].

Opinion - On the article Please

CSharp Tutorial Code Book - CodeProject[^] This article is nothing but a code dump of all the C# tutorial codes.
This is definitely not an article but my concern is, if this code dump is taken from the book (attached CD if any) he has mentioned "Ilustrated C# 2012 2nd Edition".
If that is the case, this article needs to be nuked but I don't have this book for reference. Can anyone do a due diligence?

cheers,

Super

I stumbled over it too.

The sources from the book can be downloaded here: Illustrated C# 2012 - Apress IT eBooks & Books[^].

I had a quick look but did not find copied sources so far. It seems that he refers to the book as C# reference.

I saw it as well, and suspected the same - but I don't think it is.
If you go here: Illustrated C# 2012 - Apress IT eBooks & Books[^] you can download the CD samples and a quick check says they aren't the same at all.

They may be stolen from elsewhere - I'd certainly believe it - but it isn't from the book he references unless he's done a lot of work to restructure them (and add comments!)

It's just not an article IMO.
