Sean,
a suggestion regarding the potentially to-be removed articles on commercial third-party products:
Maybe you can find a way to let them stay available to CP-members but not indexable by search engines — which should mostly achieve the goal of not serving as a free advertisement platform for the respective companies? Not admitting new such articles notwithstanding.
Alternatively maybe offering the removed articles as a time-limited download?
It just occurred to me that I'll soon need some helpful resources with DevExpress stuff and it would be a shame if the articles at that point have been removed without a trace
cheers,
Sascha

This is the second time your removing this article, I took your advice and changed to be more about my experience using the this tool as a Rest API.
My understanding was this article was removed because I had placed it in the Third Party tools section. I believe my edits and re-submission of this article NOT in the Third party conform to your what you wrote above "
Now, if people want to write an article about a problem they solved or a method they used to get around a problem they experienced in a third party product or service, that's more than welcome. A-OK. "
This was written about an experience I personally had and how I used this to help. In addition I removed DocuSign from the title since this is really about using their Rest API.
There is definitely added value, I already received a question on using the tags to be positioned by searched string rather than position on a page.

What I meant was "you overcame a problem inherent with the program or service." This latest article was still written in a "how-to-use" fashion.
So if during your use of DocuSign you encountered some problem and you figured a way around it, we would welcome an article on THAT.
I'd be happy to review an idea before you wrote an article. I don't want to do it after the fact. I'm sure you just want to help the community, which is great, but the tone of the article was too close to what I would expect in a paid Product Review, which would encourage less well-intentioned authors to abuse the system.
Thanks,

Cool, let me re-work the article... My intentions are not to advertise for anyone, you can see with the other articles I have posted that is not the case. This helps me to have a central repository of my thoughts and experiences.
I'll reach out to you before I commit any changes to see what you think.

Not an article, as Griff pointed out, and missing images. And yet it has still been approved.

SQL Server Structure Error Handling - CodeProject[^] is published under CPOL here, but in the article there is a "chapter" with license agreement.
Is it allowed to have two? If one has different clauses as the other one... is that legal?

You should write a comment about that because you catched it. It looks like it would be sufficient to exclude (remove) the source code from the second block so that the sources are licensed under the BSD style and the article under CPOL.

I would say I wrote it. 2 Options... I was sleepy and aborted instead of posting or it got removed when approved

We have a BSD license available from the dropdown, maybe he missed it. I've emailed him about it and about the local download.

Problems with format, probably wrong type and several hints from us trying to explain the author the way to do it.

Can you please do something? Is there a bulk of people blindly clicking the "aprove"?

This trend of the last weeks makes me pissed-off...
I think those approve such things do not understand CP... These article are here to teach and to attract other possibly with quality...Such articles show CP in the wrong light and instead of bringing more quality it will bring more members who interpret those reputation points wrongly and think that all these queues for preview content are there for their personal gain and forget the community...
(It is of course not for you Nelek, but maybe some of those approved this content will catch the message)
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

About restricting the who can approve, there have been already some opinions in the B&S forum. I would go for give no reputation for approves at all. That would reduce a lot the number of clicks.
I have told my opinion on this several times. I think it would be a good idea if the list of "approvers" would be visible at least for a certain group of people (methors, protectors or whatever). So we could somehow help CP-Staff to identify socket puppets, followers, minions and friends. That way would be possible to find patterns and see if another kind of action would be needed.

Chris mentioned me that persons who had approved any article is visible on the bottom left. Since you are the protector , you should be able to see it.. Check and see.

I don't see it too, but I assumed that it should be visible to protectors.

Hi all,
I recently wrote the an article (OutlookJiraAddIn: Yet Another Jira Outlook Plugin.[^]).
The article has few snapshots posted in it. When I am editing the document, the page shows the images properly. However, when I open it via the above link, when not signed it, it shows images resized to an extent where they look blurred.
It seems to me I am missing some tag or property in the article which compresses the image like this. Any pointers to make it render properly would be appreciated.

You're images are way, WAY too big. Shrink them down to under 700px and re-upload them.
cheers

I'm working on an article right now (hasn't been published yet) and I've formatted an extremely small Razor code sample and it renders improperly --- adds extra brackets and highlights it yellow.
You can see it at the bottom of my article here:
ASP.NET MVC : Build Your Custom Blog Engine (CMS) - CodeProject[^]
Can someone provide a suggestion about what I should do?
Maybe just format at HTML or something?
Thanks,

Our article editor code blocks only accept < and > and so on. If you email me the code I'd be happy to format it for you. I went in there to rescue it, but don't see the code there.

It's no big deal, since this portion is just a couple of lines.
I just formatted it with the [v]ariable formatting.
Thanks for your timely response and help.

I was writing my article and I just added an image and I did a preview to make sure it looked good and...
lo and behold!
The razor code was formatted properly now!!!! 
Obviously there are elves at work here.
