The second link is showing me some thing like : This is an auto-saved draft copy of the new unpublished article created by the submission wizard.
Why this is so? Many times i come across such message,but i can not understand if its auto-saved draft copy than why in a moderation queue?

I appreciate that someone responded thoughtfully to my raising the flag of caution.
thanks, Bill

This QA question: [^] with the title:
"Editable Gridview with Textbox, CheckBox, Radio Button and DropDown List"
was posted 43 minutes ago; the question, and its title, appear not to have been edited.
The question was answered 2 minutes later by a CP memvber who provided a link to this 2009 CP article: [^] whose title is:
"Editable Gridview with Textbox, CheckBox, Radio Button and DropDown List"
The answer has been voted #5.
It seems like an ... errr ... unusual coincidence that the title of the question exactly matches the 2009 CP article title linked to by the person who answered the question.
edit: The answer has now been "accepted."

And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,

And tellin' me she's only looking for fun.
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town.

It is, in my opinion, a co-incidence - The member who has posted the answer has posted over 200 answers[^] and can be seen as respectable Q&A answerer - In addition, the article he is linking to is not written by him - It is written by another CP member!
Replying to questions with links to codeproject articles is not that uncommon (in fact, I have caught myself doing this a few times, too). I think that the answer has the same title as the article is rather a proof of the lack of the questioner's Google / Search skills than anything else.
After all, I think you caught up a false-positive, and you can edit your OP the way that no one is gonna harm the Answerer, Questioner and Article author.

"After all, I think you caught up a false-positive, and you can edit your OP the way that no one is gonna harm the Answerer, Questioner and Article author."
Excuse me, I'm not caught-up in anything: I clearly posted what I observe as a rather remarkable co-incidence, and I have not explicitly accused anyone of anything.
I find the fact that the unedited title of a QA question matches, character by character, the title of a 2009 CP article very interesting. And the very quick posting of the reply, and its being accepted, and upvoted: interesting.
Respond to the information presented, and spare me your negative fantasies.

You did implicitly, by posting your OP in the Sapm & Abuse Watch.

Nevertheless, even if it is interesting: It doesn't proof anything - Since you posted this in the Spam and Abuse watch I think you are referring to an abusive behavior, for which there is no proof.

That is what I guess you are having here.

Hi Rohan,
What I find most interesting is the question: what do you think the chances are of a newcomer to CodeProject asking a question on QA, asking for basic help with a GridView in ASP.NET, the title of which matches exactly, character by character (for 72 characters), the title of a 2009 CP article ? There's no indication the question has been edited by anyone, or revised by the OP.
That a QA question is answered quickly with a link to a CP article by one of our google-copy-paste instant rep-bloating experts here is no surprise whatsoever, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It is the combination of the question's title perfect match with the article title, followed by the quick response which links to the same 2009 CP article, and the quick acceptance of the answer that, taken together, suggest there is a possibility here of something not quite right.
It is interesting to note that right now I can load your CP profile, and mine, but I cannot load the profile of either the OP for this question, or the profile of the person who responded. I don't know what to make of that.

Well, this was clearly a case of some thing which was not usual. Due to the fact that we have such a wonderful group of experts here at CP, both the accounts have been closed.

I am solely agree with you because i found many answers by him which didn't need a link. Just a single correction can make things work,than also he posted links through Google.
