Let's Keep It On Topic, Shall We? #realJSOP27-Jan-09 2:32 #realJSOP 27-Jan-09 2:32  This forum is for discussing the art of writing of articles. Do not ask programming questions here. "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Wikipedia? Eddy Vluggen19-Jan-09 5:53 Eddy Vluggen 19-Jan-09 5:53  Any interest in how to import the XML dumps from Wikipedia/Wiktionary into SQL Server? I are troll Re: Wikipedia? Eddy Vluggen20-Jan-09 11:03 Eddy Vluggen 20-Jan-09 11:03  The reason I ask, is that one is 'free' to use their content, as long as you state "somewhere" where the content came from. I was thinking on showing wiktionary-content in one of the submenu's that you get from a contextmenu thats linked to a (Rich)TextBox. The real wikipedia doesn't fit uncompressed on my harddrive, but I'd love to get a chance to datamine it! Or would an import of the GeoNames-database-dump be more interesting? This binds zipcode to a placecode, along with country, county, and long/lat. ..or perhaps something dry and boring on SDM or Normalization? ..or on calculating PI, for the homework-seeking-audience here? I admit I wanna write my first article here I already got the template bookmarked, so that's covered Any favors? Which and why? I are troll Re: Wikipedia?

I'd enjoy reading it, because my company does one heckuva lot with GIS, and mining information like this would be invaluable. "WPF has many lovers.

What was your article called? "WPF has many lovers.

Maybe it will be useful for next article. And I have confirmed my email now. my article is http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/ScriptLoader.aspx Re: Why is my atricle deleted?

Re: Why is my atricle deleted? #realJSOP27-Jan-09 2:31 #realJSOP 27-Jan-09 2:31  Why it was deleted: For any number of reasons, your article was considered to be crap by the people that viewed it in its pre-approval state. Why No Comments: Many people, such as myself, do not leave comments on articles that they don't deem worthy to be submitted. A small subset of that group (such as myself) will only comment on an article if a) its a complete and utter waste of storage space, or b) the article is almost good enough to approve. How To Make Your Article Suck 0) Improperly format your article. CodeProject's article wizard does its best to help you along in the process, but in the end, it's still up to you to use the Preview button before hitting the Submit button. Poor formatting is not tolerated at all. 1) Struggling with English. It's really too bad if you're not a native English speaker, but that does not absolve you of the responsibility of posting something the rest of us can read. If you have trouble with English, find someone that doesn't, and have them edit your article for you. 2) Don't put your code blocks inside <pre> tags. This royally screws up an articles appearance. 3) Don't explain the code in detail. We're not as interested in witty banter as much as we are interested in understanding how your code works. 4) Post a partially completed article. NEVER EVER sit down to post an article unless you're prepared to finish it in the same session. 5) Leave in parts of the boilerplate text that the article wizard provides you with by default. Your article probably met one or more of the items above, thus qualifying it for big time sucking.

Article Idea: Applying Your Programming Skills to Lose Weight in Real Life? Philip Laureano11-Dec-08 13:42 Philip Laureano 11-Dec-08 13:42  For many years, I've had a problem controlling my weight, and given the sedentary nature of working as a developer in an office setting, it's really easy to get out of shape and turn into a "blob", of sorts. I was thinking about applying some of my programming skills to losing weight and posting the results here on CP as an article--but I'm not sure if that would qualify as a "programming" article. So anyway, here's my question--do you think something like that would be applicable on CP, or should I just leave something like this to my own blog? Do you know...LinFu?
