Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

Article : User Scripts (JS) and User Styles (CSS) - CodeProject[^]

- Though author has state 'he has printed this article in the Indian magazine' but I got another source here The Utility of User Scripts (JS) and User Styles (CSS)[^] containing same contents as article, and the referenced article is published earlier than OP article, Author of referenced article is also different.

@Sean-Ewingtonn
Sean, we got an odd one here.
The OP was reported and his account closed a couple of days ago because the article was a copy of one by a Canadian from February (check the links and search for "Gmail login" - you'll see what we mean).
Now the OP is back with the original account, and the article now has a link to *his* original published in March - which is still later than the Canadian version!
I can't see anything in sugs'n'bugs asking for his account back so how did it get restored? A bug somewhere? Could you have a look if you have time, and see what is going on here?

I revived the author and the article. Take a look at that user profile on the hub page. Don't his articles look a little fishy to you? Assuming he can put whatever date he wants it looks like this:

How Reinventing The Wheel Can Benefit a Small Business[^] might originally come from here:
Should You Try Reinventing The Wheel? | Start a Business - | Startup Business[^]

And this:
9 Most Important Questions For 2016[^] might come from here:
PressReader.com - Connecting People Through News[^]

Also the variety of topics. E-cigarettes, social media, and child skincare products? Fishy.

In the future I'll make a comment on the original thread. So unless anyone can find another source, I'll restore the author.

Thanks,

Just a thought: since you are editing it at the moment, can you add a line at the top indicating that the hub pages version is the plagiarised one? Otherwise it's going to come back up as plagiarised in six months or so...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
