You can. But if you've never published that article before, that will indeed delete the whole article. If you have published the article and delete the draft, that draft will not be able to be recovered, but the article should still exist. There's a few barriers in front of this, though. "Are you sure you want to delete this draft? Y/N"

some idea for what the images dont load?

I put the images back. Do you happen to have the HTML of the original article? Please email it to me so we can make sure the final version is perfect (I suspect a few images are missing in places on the current version).

What does it mean if my articles shows pending status? How long should I wait to confirm that the article is approved or not?
|
|
|
|
|
Pending status means that an article is awaiting approval from the Code Project community. The vast majority of new articles on Code Project need a couple of tiny improvements because they do not sufficiently explain the code within the article.
I can see your post has been approved already. Typically you won't wait longer than 24-48 hours unless you're in the process of fixing up your article that requires some continued community feedback.

This week's newsletter mentions Kenneth Haugland's article: Finding prime numbers[^], which has won the monthly award for best article. I just came across this submission[^] which covers the same subject, although possibly not written quite as well. Should we accept the second one also or reject it on the grounds that it really does not offer anything new?
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Good catch. I think in this case we throw the author of the new article a gauntlet. "Can you please state the differences or change focus to something different?"
I've tossed it to his feet.

Code Project has been a valuable resource to me as I try to get back into programming after a 30 year "sabatical".
So...
I thought I'd give something back to the community and publish a solution I found to a much-googled Windows 7 security issue.
But...
As soon as the article went up, it was closed again, because someone reported it as "unclear"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
No explanation, no message to ask if I could clarify whatever it was that was "unclear", no offer of any help to rework the article in a way that was acceptable to the "powers that be".... NO!
Just "Closed".
I won't be trying again. If anyone is interested in any of the work I'm doing, please feel free to message me, but I won't be trying to publish any of my code on here again. That's for sure.

have you not asked who closed it for more information?

Hi djdynamix,
Apologies if there was any confusion or it seemed abrupt in any way. Each "Closed" message is accompanied by an offer to go back to your article and update it and comes from the submit address where you can respond for clarification or suggestions (that might be a bit unclear, we'll reconsider).
If this is regarding the article I believe it is, I'd be happy to work with you on getting it published. It may be more suited to a Tips & Tricks post, but we also have CodeProject Mentors who are lovely, wise, experienced authors who are willing to help get articles published if you're interested.
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply, Sean.
I can't see anything except "closed". Apparently there was a comment on the article itself, but now it's closed, it is inaccessible, so I have no idea what the comment was about.
I agree that it would be better in "Tips & Tricks". I thought that's where I'd put it.... Silly me! 
Could you maybe move it there for me, or do I need to redo it? I do hope not, as, being new to posting on here, it took me an absolute age to get the code to format properly.
Incidentally, how DO you copy & paste here from VS2012?
|
|

|

It should now be live as a Tips & Tricks post. If you have any trouble accessing it please let me know.
As for pasting from VS2012, I wish I could help, but I know not!

Don't be hard on yourself when writing your article/tips. Most people here in general are willing to help by giving constructive feedback to better help you improve it.
By the way, I found your tip and you may want to fix the extra spacing in your second code block. Fix that and it looks pretty good to me.

Quality of code means everything.
Imagine if every single article had a large notice asking for money. It would be very off-putting.
I started CodeProject so I could give away my code freely, and sticking to that philosophy is important to me. If you don't wish to five the code away freely that's absolutely your choice.

Does this mean it's ok to have a small notice @ the bottom of my article?
I will remove it if required though.

How about something even simpler? Why not, in your bio (which appears at the end of your articles) just include something tasteful like "I hope you enjoy my code. It's yours to use for free, but if you do wish to say thank you then a donation [link] is always appreciated."

You need to increase your rep. Post a few more articles, get a few more downloads and up-votes and you'll be good to go. 1000 points gets you live links in your bio (and I've just added a note to this on the rep listing page that will be visible in a day or two)

Also, and sorry to spam you, but I have reported two comments as they state things such as my article contains "no visible code" which is completely inaccurate.

There is no local version of the download. As we've said previously, having a local copy is important - even if it's an older version. Links to external sites break, or are blocked, or developers just move on, and so having only an external link means articles get orphaned from their code and become unusable.

The author of this article[^] appears to be demanding a sort of registration from anyone who uses the code, and also soliciting donations.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I'd say no, and I've raised this with the author. He's a hostile little tick, and it's taking me all my efforts not to remove that part of the article, or remove his article altogether (yes, I can do that). I'll flag this with Chris or Sean, as I think they are so snowed that they've missed this thread.

As I have said I don't ask for donations (which is the definition of soliciting), it is up to the user if they want to or not.
There are many articles on here that use paid components (that are not even open source) that are obviously posted by people who sell the product, are these also not allowed?

i00 wrote: I don't ask for donations
The second paragraph in your article is headed "Donations", and it specifically tells people how to donate. In my book that is soliciting for them. In the bold print before the introduction you have "Anyone wishing to use this code in their projects may do so, however are required to leave a post on this page stating that they are using this.", which is demanding. Neither of these parts of the article are in line with the general philosophy of CodeProject.

Hi Kris,
Unfortunately we do not condone donations in articles as it would set an unfortunate precedent. We've seen it a few times in the past and I've asked those authors to remove the donations sections from their articles as well.
As you were able to find a couple of articles (and I'll emailing them after this), if one article exists that has donations, other authors can likewise point to it, or it encourages more to follow.
Would you be willing to remove that donation section from your article? Also, we note that your download is hosted off site. We're happy to keep that link there for the "latest" files, but we do ask you to host a local copy of the source as well.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

I don't get the problem. He says it's Open Source. He won he price with the article. Let the people donate if they like to!

Then everyone starts asking for donations and, all of a sudden, people stop coming to Code Project for their code because they see people asking for money - and the perception is, that the code is no longer free.

Ok, I understand that, but since years there are articles that state donation is welcome:
Lightmapper[^]
Digits to Charts[^]
There are some more. No one ever said something against that. Instead of discussing one article there should be a general rule discussed or presented by codeproject.

I certainly would if I had seen them. Like you I do not see every article that gets posted so I can only report the ones I see. If the administrators are happy with this article then that's fine with me, I am just asking for their guidance.

Hi,
Hm, I would assume that asking for some "registration" to alert the author that the code is being used is okay - as an acknowledgment to the author? But from what I gather - it's not really in form of the CodeProject "philosophy."

In one of the Bizarre Emails, Smrithi Vijayan informed me that my article
"Image Inpainting using Texture Inpainting " ( I dont know the link 'cause is no more) is deleted as I hosted the code elsewhere.
The mail: "has been deleted because it lacks any source code. CodeProject is for sharing of source code and is not just a shareware or file sharing site so we do require that all articles include source code."
In all my articles I have hosted the code in my domian. That simply means all my articles violate your TOC probably? Delete them all then!
And I am going to post 100s and 100s of article links where code is hosted at a different domain. Delete all of them.
And please let me understand your source code submission guidelines. Provide Code ( If appropriate)
And define 'appropriate' instead of leaving it that way to help people know more.
If you do not allow articles without code in codeproject than mention it.
An article is an article which offers a solution to a problem. I had given a simple algorithm which even I have not yet published in a paper! A code is for lamers who cant work hard to copy paste the codes in the article to make a working system.
And, please dont come bashing me here. I do not intend to run into any arguments.
"Code Project is for sharing source code". Thanks for letting me know this most hilarious quote! And also thanks for letting me know that "Algorithm section is also meant for Sharing Code" and also that "article must be also about code".

We can certainly remove your articles if you wish, though while we ask that a local copy of your source code be provided, we're also more than happy for you to provide a link to an offsite copy if that helps.
The reason that we ask that at least a local copy of your code is that, in our 12 years of experience in hosting and sharing code, we see an extremely high rate of broken links in offsite sources. In fact, at the time we implemented this policy we were seeing a 100% broken link rate.
CodeProject is an article and code hosting site. We're not a links site, but we also don't require exclusivity. If you wish to have your code exclusively on another site then that's certainly your choice. For us, though, the most important thing is ensuring that when a member reads an article there is always a download of that source code (even an old one) available to them.

Did any member inform me to upload a local copy of code or any such things? Have in my record I have ever not responded to any senior member or editor's message? Where I am supposed to load the file? Article's link is missing from author's panel :(
|
|

When you submit an article using our upload form for posting by editors you should pack everything (HTML, images, zips) into one package and submit that. http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/Submit.aspx[^] says "Write your article, gather your images and download files, and zip them all together in one file."
If you post using the submission wizard then the area to upload files is on the right of the editor, and is labelled "Upload files". Click the Add file button, choose your file, then hit "upload files".

No I mean, when I click the author's name at top right corner, It pops up a menu where it says My Articles. If I click there, My article's link is no more 
Seems all my work regarding the article is trashed :(
|
|
|
|

Ok, I have figured that out. I searched it in Google and traced the actual URL and changed it. But do you think Deleted code should be deleted from Author's Control panel also? How am I suppose to incorporate the necessary changes?
