Please don't pay attention to my lastest post. The question about votes is actually out.

Well The article in question simply has a link to the Windows Store to get the binaries. In the article guidelines it does not allow association between thirdpary products and the article authors.

No, some articles can have code inline, or can talk about topics without needing actual code.
This specific article was an entry for a contest long gone. The article, too, is now long gone.

I finished(?) this[^] article and a need help with two things:
1. English - I would love a proofread...
2. Set the proper categories - I had a hard time to categorize this article and I'm not sure I made a good job there 
Thank you...

All of your images seem to be missing.

Strange - I've tried in Firefox, IE and Chrome, and none of them show up.
Trying to access the images directly gives me the "There is no page"[^] page.

Interesting article! Happy to help
As you asked, I have done a proofread:
Quote: I have no the slightest ability to work with colors.
Should be "I don't have the slightest ability to work with colors".
Quote: and that methods are used even by designers…
"methods" is plural, so "that" should be plural too -> "those"
Quote: that can sense (see) different wavelength
"wavelength" should be plural: "wavelengths"
Quote: for the RGB color model, which create colors
"create" should be "creates" here.
Quote: just like human eye
You're missing the article here: "just like the human eye".
Quote: However RGB model does not work in a way human understand color.
The article is missing: "However the RGB model ..."
Quote: For instance the color named Magenta built of R:255, G , B:255.
Your :0 appears as an emoticon. You can try putting a space between the colon and the zero, or replace the colon by its HTML Entity, :.
Quote: The model still use 3 components in an additive way, but rearrange the
"use" should be "uses", and "rearrange" should be "rearranges".
Quote: It also resembles the classical color-wheel used by artist
"artist" should be plural here, "artists".
Quote: The basic element is Hue, which running around
Should be "runs" instead of "running".
Quote: a color so saturated that it bacem dim
I'm not sure what "bacem" means here.
Quote: Value define the brightness
Should be "defines" instead of "define".
Quote: This A element can be applied to both color model we discussed here
"model" should be plural, "models".
Quote: All these formulas based on the idea
This should be "All these formulas are based ..."
Quote: you chose a single color and get back a set of colors that play nicely together (the color chosen is one of the set)
I don't think you should use the past tense of 'to choose' here, you can use the present: "you choose a single color".
Quote: where the second color placed on the opposite side of the color wheel.
Should be "where the second color is placed".
Quote: In any case it is important to choose a color that dominant over its counterpart.
Should be "a color that is dominant".
Quote: This method gives high contrast between the colors in the set and add more nuances over Complements method
"add" should be plural here: "and adds more nuances", and there should be an article before 'Complements': "over the Complements method".
Quote: Cons: Lover contrast than in Complements or SplitComplements.
Did you mean "Lower contrast"?
Quote: Cons: There is no much contrast in the set.
Should be "not" instead of "no".
Quote: Cons: Lack any contrast of colors.
Should be "Lacks".
Quote: For this people color information alone is not enough
Should be "these people" because 'people' is plural.
Quote: (we talk about colors - a blind people has no colors!)
"people" should be singular here -> "a blind person".
Quote: I promissed no code, but after all it a coding site...
"promissed" is misspelled, it should be "promised".
Quote: In this part I will show the core of a possible implementatio of the ideas we saw.
"implementatio" is misspelled, it should be "implementation".
Quote: In .NET we have the Color class that represent a color based on RGB model
Should be "represents".
Quote: The most important thig
Typo, it should be "thing".
Quote: are moving the origina lcolor around the current color
Typo, it should be "original color", not "origina lcolor".
Quote: As triads used to create 3 colors equaly distributed around the colo wheel
Should be "As triads are used to create 3 colors equally distributed around the color wheel".
Quote: in the attached code you will find the exact code for creating all the colot sets in this article
Typo, should be "color sets" instead of "colot sets".
Quote: it is not enough that your code works and written well
Should be "and is written well".
Quote: it acn be too expensive to hire a professional designer
Typo, "acn" should be "can".
Quote: You are convinced about the iportance of colors, but still dont want to mess with the code!
Typo, "iportance" should be "importance", and "dont" should be "don't".
Quote: You can download and install the Visual Studio extensions based on this article
There is one extension, so "extensions" should be singular instead -> "extension".

ProgramFOX wrote: I'm not sure what "bacem" means here.
I mean that the color turns to white, and meant to write 'becomes', but at the end I wrote: 'so saturated that it turns dim - white'...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

There is a way to display long code blocks in an article shrinked, initially?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

We don't allow manual adjustment of how code is displayed (apart from line numbers) in order to have a consistent experience.

I think you didn't got me...
Above each code block there is a menu with 'expand', 'shrink', 'hide' and more...
As I have a long code block I would like to display that code block like after clicking 'shrink' from the beginning...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

I got you. What I meant is: "No, we don't offer that". The reason being is that if we were to offer that option we wouldn't make it an option: we would do it for all code blocks over a certain length.
At this point I'd rather have the code blocks exposed fully. If you feel your codeblock is too long, then maybe not all of the code block needs to be posted. Or maybe it does. Up to you.
cheers

When updating an article, is it eventually upvoted?
|
|
|
|
|
It's completely unrelated. It may be upvoted without updating it and it may not be upvoted albeit updating it. Updating an article leads to the article being listed under "Latest Articles" on the homepage again though, so it will probably get some more views, increasing the chances of any vote.

You're new here so I'd like to take an opportunity to tell you a little bit about the CodeProject (as well as answer your question).
First of all, welcome! It is always great to have new authors join us. There are a lot of things we do at CodeProject, but our primary goal is to foster learning and teaching for developers. I can tell from your first article you're going to be a great asset.
Yes we have reputation and article ratings, and yes those are valuable and have their uses, but I can tell you many of the CodeProject greats weren't dedicated to either of those things -- they were dedicated to the community and the bettering of themselves and others. That they happened to achieve legendary article ratings and reputation along the way was almost a side effect. I would encourage all authors and members to keep this in mind.
If you update your article you will give it a boost in visibility and that, in turn, may garner you an upvote if a member likes your article. Please note, however, article updates are meant to be large changes to your article that you are informing readers about. Ideally those changes are documented in the History section of the article, so that the reader can go to the article and see something new.
In regard to upvotes, the reality is we are an online community and member behaviour is difficult to govern and predict. One day, a long time, high reputation CodeProject author might vote one of your articles with a 3, a 2, or even a 1. While this might be temporarily discouraging, we would ask you don't report such activity unless you catch a string of them (like a consistent, malicious downvoter). Members are entitled to their votes and opinions. They may even discuss their thoughts with on your article forums. We hope those discussions are passionate and civil.
I sense you are very curious about CodeProject. Please feel free to email me any time with your questions: sean@codeproject.com. This may actually be better as I can address a series of questions all in a single email (and potentially, faster too).
I am always here to help.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington
CodeProject
