A link to the article along with the source code, in the zip file, would be interesting when seeing the code on a later date.

I don't know. However the first one tells me: "You have the ability to edit this tip/trick"
and the others say "You have the ability to edit or delete this tip/trick"
How would they know that?
Lucky them, I don't feel the urge to edit anything that isn't mine to begin with...

Yeah, it seems strange that people are basically creating Tips/Tricks that say "go check out this other URL". If they aren't adding any substance, it seems pretty useless to me. People could just get that information by googling. Then again, maybe CP would like to have collections of links... don't know the official position on such posts. Like you, I would like to know.

Are there any guidelines which suggest whether to delete or modify a question or Tip&Trick? I've just been using my judgement for now, but it would be nice to know if there's something coherent I could go by.

I would like to suggest that a preview is FORCED on anyone below gold status when they post an article. I'm tired of seeing articles posted by (mostly) foreigners (and mostly from India) that have completely ignored the appearance of their article. It's starting to piss me off.

I second the idea of enforcing a preview; I would do it everywhere things can be edited.
All it takes is moving the "publish" button to the preview page. Hence:
- the edit page would have "preview" and "cancel" buttons;
- the preview page would have "back to editor", "publish" and "cancel" buttons.

It's not just the formatting that's a problem, some of the content is just a waste of space. I suppose the alternative is to prevent people below Gold status from using the wizard, but that would add a whole lot of work on the editors. Perhaps we need more editors.

There's no good answer to the "content problem". I think that's just something we're going to have to deal with anyway. However, the general appearance of the article in terms of formatting can probably be addressed. I think a big part of the problem is that people can copy/paste into the article body field. A lot of the problems I think are because of various sources people use (like Word, or some other word processor that bastardizes the HTML with needless tags and bogus styles.
Maybe the editor should filter out any unsupported tags or style settings for members that haven't reached gold status. However, I think that would probably be the proverbial "rock so big that even god himself cannot lift".

And I want PRE tags.
But I guess you knew that already.

The people you are talking about are not going to understand the purpose of it. They'll preview the article and then click "It looks fine" button.
This is the same as having guidelines for programming forums. The ones who should read it, won't read it.

It may help. Just like laws, traffic signs and door locks. They don't solve everything, but they tend to improve the situation by helping people making the right decisions.

Yeah, I tend to agree. It's better than having nothing though.

Are they made aware by messages (or comments) posted below their articles?
Some of these authors may be willing to learn from their mistakes.

Yep. The message does not actually would reach the real culprits. BTW, you can not dream about successfully casting pearls before a swine right?

Yeah, that was my point. But like Luc said, it's better than having no regulations in place.

In the 'Message boards' menu I get only the 'All message boards...' option.
Happens only on web19 (as far as I could found out) and is consistent (try'd several refreshes)

It's had a bit of a think about things, and a bit of a lie down, and is all good again.
