I suspect one of the other editors got there before I did because there was some highly skilled CodeProject formatting going on in there. So I will gesture with my hands to the right, and let the responsible party take a bow:

Great. And I see it has been approved, so I will give it a read.

I just uploaded a new edition of an article (Secret Key Encryption Demo). Is not intended to be a new article (namely, a total or partial new explanation), but merely an addition of code.
I have never tried to edit an article here, so I don't know if what I did was alright.

In this case you should simply edit the existing article and add the new code.
I spent a bit of time tonight on your article getting the formatting right, especially the C#/VB code blocks (love multi-language samples!). Please let me know if it's OK.

First of all, sorry about taking your time, I got confused about the edition.
Right now, I'm working in an article about the same topic and I hope to finish it tomorrow or past tomorrow (I need some time to check my English with a friend of mine). To be fair with the original autor, I would like to edit all the article and combine both solutions, overwriting my initial post. What should I do? Should I mark the article as "Work in progress: don't publish" and then edit it?

Thanks very much for your inquiry. The newsletters look to an article's rating when deciding whether or not to include an article in the pool. Unfortunately your article did not have a high enough rating / enough votes.

Thank's for your answer! You are surely right with the "Most popular new articles" section, but
I refer to the "New articles added" section.
How can an article be rated, if "nobody" knows that there is a new article out there 
|
|
|
|
|
Actually yes, for the "New articles added" section too. New articles do get exposure elsewhere. For example, each new update or new article is displayed on the homepage for a period of time.
Still, I will discuss making the "new articles added" section more open with the team.

Sorry, but I can not follow your explanation about the necessary ratings for an article in the "New articles added" section:
This morning I read the newsletter and opened a very nice article within this section (Silverlight MVVM ...) - The article isn't rated at all (0 votes) and has a lot less views, downloads and bookmarks than mine...
|
|
|
|
|
I asked the dev team to double check the code. This article should not have been included. How as it included? Hard to say.

Hi all,
This is my debut on article writing on CP. I have sketched out a small one describing the usage and the points to keep in mind the usage of @font-face of CSS3, titled "Using custom fonts in your webpage by leveraging modern CSS3".
My question is, is this an article or a tip? And how should it be tagged?
Please help.
|
|
|
|
|
Sounds like a tip to me. I'd tag it with CSS.
|
|
|
|
|
It's totally an introduction of the CSS3 @font-face rule...
Anyways, i'll post it under tips and tricks soon.
Thank you 
|
|
|
|

Good for you. I look forward to reading it.

I posted an article regarding web service .. could any body tell me why its not yet approved..?
|
|
|
|
|
you appear to have posted it only 3 hours ago as I view this, I'm in GMT+10. It is the weekend, for most of the world, CP doesnt have full time staff around the clock, looking to approve (or not) articles.
SO most people, will be out getting a life
Since you asked about your article, I went and had a look - there's some minor formatting flaws, but, what sh*ts me, the font you used is atrocious.. so maybe you'd prefer I didnt go back and post a comment after all, and wait patiently for others to view it

Hello, I'd like to ask a questions about deleted articles.
in particular that one:
Handling OS Events in Windows XP and Vista[^]
it was very informative, interesting and very helpfull article. But now this article is unavailable. I'd like to ask - is there any possibility to read this article one more time
|
|
|
|
|
I believe the author may have deleted it themselves. In these cases we cannot resurrect articles that have crossed over. It's too dangerous.
Thanks,

In such case, maybe my question will be silly, but... how can I wrote a message to the author. I clicked in his account but didn't see there nothing like: "mail to author, contact, etc." Does this site provide such possibility?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I normally wouldn't advocate this, but you could always post an off topic question on his other article[^]
|
|
|
|
|
Why was my article (DragonSharq Web Browser: Safe Browsing / Source Viewing[^] ) considered a tip/trick? I included code and explained how it works and everything. I even explained some extended issues with debugging threaded code.
It took me many hours to write the code and then write the article and it is a bit of a let down.
Also, I use an RSS reader and my article shows up as a new item there, but it doesn't show up on the main page? Why is that? It is because it is a tip/trick?
|
|
|
|
|
I've changed it to be an article

Having a real difficulty getting my code sample pasted into my article. Using Google Chrome browser as editor. Have done this before and it worked.
I paste the code as expected from notepad -- plain text. The trouble occurs when I choose the "formatted" option to format the selection as code.
I'm editing this message to let you know, I am running on Windows 7. I don't know what that apple-tab-span thing is.
It ends up giving me this (below) (from preview mode): (please help) thanks
private void GetWebSource()
{
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>string strUri = urlComboBox.Text;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>if (strUri.Length == 0)
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>return;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>// Call helper method to insure that the URL is valid -- check it starts with http:// or https://
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>strUri = CheckForUrlPrefix(strUri);
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>urlComboBox.Text = strUri;
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;">
</span><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>bool isAdded = visitedUrls.TryAdd(strUri.ToUpper(),strUri);
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>// If the url hasn't already been added to the drop list navigation add it so user can select it again later
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>if (isAdded)
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>{
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>
