I have an article with 15 votes x 5pts and 1 vote x 4pts. The rating is 4.78. How this rate is calculated?
thanks in advance!

Ok, now I notice it's well explained here:
Code Project Rating and Reputation FAQ[^]
I was expecting a rating of 4.93, but it seems that unfortunately the guy who voted 4 has a higher level than the ones who voted 5.

i find it annoying that I am prevented from editing my articles and must email change requests.
this is happening more and more and is not representative of the experience i have had in the past.
the implication is that once I submit content, I no longer have direct control.
this does not make me happy and makes keeping the content up-to-date a less than painless process.
what are the options?

We could change your articles to the "unedited" status, some authors prefer this

what are the implications of this choice, Sean?

- May not follow Code Project format and submission guidelines
- Might be less readable, and less accessible
- Theoretically may receive lower ratings (Note: Many of our best authors do not submit articles to us, and have extremely high ratings)
See our FAQ entry for a little more info on Pros and Cons:

thanks. I will give this some thought.

The reason we do this is because of history.
Originally we only accepted submissions that had been emailed in. I'd edit and post and then when updates were needed I'd edit and update. I then added the submission wizard to make this easier but found that many authors, while great programmers, lacked a little je ne sais quois when it came to editing and formatting. So, we'd take these submission-wizard-contributed submissions and clean them up, and then authors would update them with their old, unformatted, copy and we'd lose the work we'd done.
So - we decided that once an article was edited it would be locked to casual updates in order to avoid needless repitition of work, and while it's been frustrating for some, it's mean the number of well formatted articles goes up instead of down.
Having said that, there are obviously authors who do have excellent editing skills and these authors have been given the rights to upload and reedit whenever they wish.
I'm sure Sean will review your articles and make things easier.

While I don't pretend to be a literati, and it is obvious that I can miss a few dots on my t's and i's, I have a fairly capable grasp of the English language and structure.
I absolutely do not mind your capable editors cleaning up after me when they feel inclined, but be assured that I am not one to overwrite corrected grammar.
Hopefully I will be judged and not found wanting. 
Thanks for the response.

When using the submission wizard, you can leave a "note to editors".
I've found that "please leave unedited" works quite well, though I haven't held an article in this stae for a longer time (such as half a year or more).

I wrote an article a few years back that has since been edited by the code project team (formatting changes I believe) Customising the .NET Panel control[^].
Someone just posted that the download links are dead, and they are. I assume this is to do with the recent edits?
Can one of the team find the missing files please? Failing that I will see if I have a copy somewhere and send them in again.

I'd suggest you post this in the Suggs and Bugs forum, that one is monitored continuously by CP staff; the one here, I'm not so sure.
|

And now I've been proven wrong!

By the last editor in fact.
Now I have to try and find a copy.

That's weird, the files aren't there. Can you send them again? submit at codeproject.com

Hi Sir,
I have an article posted but is still in pending status, why?
Regards
Rene.
Excellent

did you post through the article wizard? I can't see anything recent. Your articles should appear on the CP home page awaiting approval, but only to people having silver+ author reputation. However I don't see it.
BTW: there is a "still composing" or so checkbox; you need to uncheck that when done editing.
If you've sent it by e-mail to CP staff, they need some time to handle it, and only then would it become visible (to all at the same time).

Can you post the url-link of your article. I don't see anything from you. I have priviledge to see composing status articles(if I know the URL). I will tell you if I find anything.

This will only happen if you submit to an article submission site that manually reviews all submissions. The only reason why it is pending is because it is still in queue. You just need to wait. If you have a paid membership, or if you are an author under expert status, then you can expect your articles to be reviewed right away.
Hope this helps.

I need a place to publish an article about problems in development in fed shops. Suggestions?
|
|
|
|

I would start by reading the guidelines[^] on article submission. Then look for an appropriate section/subsection and post your article either via the wizard (and await peer review and comments) or use the email submission process whereby the article goes direct to one of the editors.
It's time for a new signature.

|

If it's a short article as you say... might be posting it as a Tip/Trick [^]would do.

How does one report "suspicious" articles on this site?
