Apologies, I am new to this and don't like reporting authors but the article did not even reference the source so I thought I should flag it up.

I'd agree - but when you report things we need two bits of info:
1) The article that is plagiarised: C# 8 New Features[^]
2) The User who "wrote" it: Shameel - Professional Profile[^]
That way, we can be sure to hit the right article, and if the article goes before teh user, we can also kick him off.

Sorry, Griff. I'm new to this. I never vote an article down but this was so obviously lifted from somone else that I thought I should report it. I would have thought that asking the question, 'is this your own work?' woud have prompted the author to add a reference.
Regards,
George.

Even with a reference, this is clearly a copy'n'paste job and is not accepted.
Plus, I don't think we need yet another "c# new features" article

That's OK, not a problem at all - you did exactly the right thing, just we need more information so we don't get the wrong one.
If he had posted a reference, we'd probably have spotted it earlier (which is probably why he didn't).
If we had noticed the original, his account would have closed the day he posted it to moderation: most plagiarism doesn't get past that, but we do miss things sometimes.
Damn good spot!

Hi George, only the first example is the same copy, the second one has different code. Anyway, I'll update my article with a different sample code and publish it again.

I recommend you to read CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ[^]
It might help you avoid this kind of situations.
@Sean-Ewington please come and have a look. We might need a wipe (if proceed)

Why?
It's a clear cut case - he's even admitted he knew it was copied - it's not his first article here, so he knows the rules.
And it's not just the code, it's the text around it which looks copy'n'paste'n'tweek as well.
He has deliberately tried to copy material and hide the fact, and there is no way to do that "innocently" that I can see. Nobody gets the right to steal and get away with it; the act of trying to hide it even puts all he other submissions in doubt as to authorship ...

OriginalGriff wrote: Why?
Because of the corrections.
Would have he not said anything... I would already given my report too. But he said he corrected it and I hope he has learnt the lesson.
He is long enough here, yes. But we have seen a lot of users that didn't know about the FAQs.
I understand your point, but we have already told this forum is not only to punish but to educate too (what without a second chance is pretty difficult to do).

My profile is closed and I had to create a new one. I just want to let you know that there is no need to be harsh towards anyone without giving them an opportunity to represent themselves. In the past, I had given references to original post in my article and they were removed mistakenly by moderators and article closed. Upon review request, the mistaken edit was acknowledged and the article restored. I agree I did not include the reference to original post in this specific case.

I had rewritten the entire text from scratch, and inadvertently left one instance of copied sample code without changing it. The original doc is too big and elaborate and I had written this article with the intent to simplify things for my colleagues and friends, who had requested me to write this.

Could you edit your message and blank out part of that article name? We don't want to do the spammer's job for them.

I don't get what you mean, I thought I had reduced the subject enough?
Ok, I will edit the subject, please confirm it is what you are "complain about"

No, I mean the title of the article within the body of your message. It's the full URL of the spam site!
