Re: My Article 623035 - Complete Date/Time Picker Control.
I submitted the article on 7/31/2013 23:27 and it was closed for many good reasons.
So, I edited the article and did some major revisions on it and re-submitted it. I then got another email stating that the article was closed for the same reasons. This frustrated me because I thought I would get some better feedback then a simple article closed message.
So, I went to My Articles page and discovered that the "current" article's status was closed but that version was the original version that got closed first.
Then there's "Revision 4" which is the latest version that had all my revisions and the status on it is "Pending".
So my question is, Is this article closed or not? I want Revision 4 to be the current version. How can I change that? I think you'll find that Revision 4 is much improved over the "current" version.
Thanks for your help.

Rather than attempting to recreate your blog entry here, I'd suggest that you linked your blog to your CP account and set it so that your blog was consumed.

Thanks, I would give it a try!

Wow, someone's worked so hard on the misaligned- eye burner . Now it looks good :[External Fonts for WP^]
Thanks a lot editors. You do an excellent job.
I'll try my best to keep your job simple. Learnt my Article Wizard lessons  on my first post.

Hi,
I got the above message for one of my blog submissions. I don't really see what the problem is.
There were no comments are advice on what was wrong with it.
This is fundamentally flawed in my opinion. Someone must have a significant reason to delete my article and I should be informed of that.
Can you advise please?

The problem is that you wrote something about some ASP.NET hosting companies. These aren't free, so it's considered spam.

My latest article (View All Internet History and Images (from cache) for All 5 Browsers[^] ) was just reviewed and published but it never appeared on the CP homepage.
It is an article (not a tip) and it does show up if I go to Articles...Latest Articles... menu at the top.
Is there a reason for this? Did I pick incorrect categories or something? Just curious. Is there an algorithm which pushes articles onto the home page or something?
Thanks

Now, this morning, it seems that the same article has lost an upvote (a precious 5  ) and the comment that went along with the upvote is gone and my comment back to them is gone. Aliens? The truth is out there.

Yes, I'm talking to myself. I mostly agree and only have the rare argument that way. Anyway, I also have an RSS Feed Readr pointed at CP's RSS and it shows articles back to 2013-07-30 11:43am yesterday. That is before my article originally published, but my article doesn't show up in the feed either.
This is possibly caused by Chupacabra or Sasquatch and I intend to get to the bottom of it.
Anyone?

Okay, this issue is resolved with the latest revision of my article.
Thanks.

Code Project recognizes the value of language formatting inside of code blocks within articles. This improves readability, and provides a means for displaying the code as the language would be in its common environments. There are language formats available for common ones such as XML, C#, ASP.Net.
I think Code Project should also be a place to talk about lesser known or new technologies with an equal ability to present. For displaying these (or any) technologies in code blocks, there should be a way to perform custom highlighting if the highlighting rules do not fit a common one. Or is there already a way to do this?
Displaying uncommon highlighting via images is not the preferable approach, and apparently also not an accepted approach.

Hello,
I am currently writing an article, it is still marked as being composed (which is ok). However link to the article from "My Articles" points to older (out of date) revision of it. The page "Revisions" of it seem strange to me:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ListVersions.aspx?aid=620045
I do not know who can access it as it is still marked as being composed. In the case you cannot, roughly something similar to this table is there:
Revision Minor Date Status Editor
=============================================================================
4 No 16-Jul-13 19:34 Draft Martin Mitáš
3 No 16-Jul-13 19:34 Composing Martin Mitáš
Updates in content. Changes: 268
current No 14-Jul-13 20:00 Composing Martin Mitáš
Updates in content. Changes: 15776
1 No 12-Jul-13 8:17 Composing Martin Mitáš <Rollback>
I am confused from it for several reasons:
- The newest revision 4 (draft) seems to be missing some content (screenshots) and I consider the revision 3 to be the most actual.
- I do not know how to delete the rev 4 without whole article.
- When I edit rev 3, the rev 4 is still there in the same incomplete state, with an updated timestamp.
- I do not understand why revision 2 keeps to be marked as current and how to change it.
- BTW, what the "Rollback" button does?
Probably I do something in a wrong way when composing a new article but I don't know what it is. Perhaps part of the mess is caused by the fact I do not understand the difference from "Save draft" and "Save this version" (when keeping the check "Work in progress: don't publish"). Is this explained somewhere?
(No the guide Guide really does not cover this sufficiently.)
Also I once accidentally published it (so the state was "pending") but changed it back to composing state fairly quickly. Perhaps it confused the CP.com's content system furthermore?
Any help or pointer to relevant documentation would be appreciated.

Hi Martin,
I am worried that answering your questions in full and in succession might confuse you so I will simply say you cannot delete revisions, and Rollback allows you to rollback your current (possibly published) article to a previous version.
If you'd like, you can email me an HTML version of your final revision and I can apply it to your article so there are no mix-ups. Or deal with the article editor for you entirely. I'm happy to help.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

The source of my confusion, as I can see it now, is probably caused by a bug. The particular article has some mess in its history. I reported it by e-mail and also here: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4619265/Re-Table-borders-in-the-on-site-article-editor-bro.aspx[^]
To summarize:
(1) When it was yet in composing state, the page "Revisions" marked as "current" some relatively old version. Links to it (e.g. from "My articles") lead to the old one, being marked "current". Some revisions were not listed in the list.
(2) When it was eventually published, it somehow improved, but still some revisions are not listed, including the current published one. Also, somehow, I have not received 100 rep. points for publishing it. My guess is it is due to the metadata mess.
(3) I would like some admin to take and check and probably repair the metadata of the article to prevent some problems in future, e.g. if some new update to it is made.
(4) The very best thing what would happen is to find the bug which causes such problem and fix it, to avoid similar issues in the future, as I still have some plan to write few more articles.

Even with 10 million CPians what I write about is too niche to elicit constructive feedback so it's difficult to get better.
CP has a mentor program and what I'm wandering is would that be the way to go?
What are your experiences with mentoring? Is it relevant to my issue or only useful for beginners to get their HTML in order?

Matthew, I'm one of the mentors. We don't just offer advice about formatting. If you have specific things you'd like us to take a look at, drop Sean a line to ask the mentors to take a look and explain what you want us to concentrate on.

Thanks Pete, I'll talk to Sean as soon as I have publishable code to go with the next article.
It's a matter of trying to go in two directions at once, trying to make things more comprehensible to non experts and more useful/interesting to experts. One inclines to cover less ground more slowly and the other more ground at greater speed while a compromise pleases no one.
I have expert advice on writing style from my sister who's a freelance script editor but even she struggles to make any comment as she can't read 85% of any given article.
