I think you saw my last mini-article (about HTML) - that one was written with the new, proposed, editor. It works much better - including a full screen mode...So there is hope...

Hey Guys you are strict with Plagiarised, I am new and I understood, I removed all contents from article .

I had removed article contents from MS site but only Name of the classs which are used in the article is given with the appropriate link. Also I mentioned in re-posted article that Compression/Encryption/Zip contents are taken from Microsoft site.

I am confused what is missing when I followed all your suggestion ?

I am sorry I am login with other account to connect with you because my that account is deactivate. Now next is what to do ? How should I re-post my article ?

Or this is End no chance given to clarify, or modify contents ?

Spam...

Is either a very poor article - and I've seen some poor ones - or it's just spam for a coffee bar!
Not exactly sure which...

I didn't see any 'article' there Smile | :)

However I don't think it's a span - it maybe written not on caffeine but on something stronger...

I'm with KEP on this one... Let the member live.

Edit: I removed the spam-ish sentence and put it back into the queue, but as a Reference.

I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Fine by me if the member lives - I just wanted second opinions on spam / rubbish... Rubbish it is then!

Marco Bertschi24-Mar-14 21:29

It's not rubbish per se, to me it is fine as reference with the Coffee-link removed.

I would disagree - there is almost nothing in there! If he wants to write a document on Singletons, then he needs to explain a lot more background, I think. That is just an example, with hardly anything supporting it.

Which makes it a Reference.

From the submission page:
A Reference article is a short (typically 1 page) article used to lookup common information such as tables (eg. ASCII tables, HTTP codes etc) or function or class explanations. Typically there will be few if any images, and no downloadable code (though both are possible if the author wishes)

I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

OriginalGriff24-Mar-14 22:19

Which would make References just "Tips Lite" - anything at all could get in there! The way I read that is that references are just that: common information, small snippets that are badly explained on MSDN for example. The singleton pattern is well explained elsewhere, but in terms of pages, not lines!

Not sure about this...but shall we agree to disagree, rather than get into an argument? Wink | ;)

Re: Spam would be article.

I see the ASCII code mentioned as example... Which is probably even better documented as the Singleton Pattern (or equally, at least). But okay, I agree on disagreeing with you.

Turns out the spam report threshold was increased recently.

Also, the account is gone now.
