Article reviews are carried about by any CodeProject member with the required permission levels. It will first be a format/presentation review, and if that is all satisfactory then the reviewer will check it for technical merit.

The general process of approving is described at "23. Why is there content moderation at the CodeProject?" in the Code Project Article FAQ[^].

Because pending articles are reviewed by different persons, it depends on them what they do. It would be fine if articles are also technical reviewed. I for example will not approve articles where I did not know much about the topic hoping that others with more knowledge can evaluate the technical aspects.

There are actually also members approving articles even without checking for basic requirements like formatting and external images (see the post below).

But in general the author is responsible for being technical correct. He should be familar with the subject and invest some time for research if necessary. If there are technical errors, articles will usually get corresponding comments and may be voted accordingly. So any author would be well advised to be technical correct.

Speaking about me (and only about me)...

When I review the queue I usually go for the visible part. What (for me, non-english speaker) means: Easy to read, complete sentences, a certain continuity in the text, no misspellings, code snippets ok, indention and things like that.
I am not so deep in many of the topics, so I prefer not to judge the technical content.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

In the "latest articles" on main page there is some (already approved) articles where pictures are missing, code with double carriage return, wrong indentations and so on...

On the other hand (it might be just a funny coincidence), most of those articles have the same owners.

@Sean-Ewington can you please have a look, it might be worth to check for "friendly approvals" or sucket puppets?
If not... at least to mark them for correction Smile | :)

On the other hand... I raise another time the suggestion of making visible for a certain group of people the list of who approved the different apportations. I think it can help to get a bit of quality back.

Now I am on hurry and I won't be online for one or two days... I will search the links in my history and post them to you.

They were on the time I wrote the message in the "latest articles" list. One of the guys has answered me about the format and is already correcting them

Hi Sean,

the users have reacted to my messages and corrected the format in some of the apportations.

The articles are:
Create a custom report for displaying SSRS report usage details in SharePoint 2013[^]
SharePoint Search - Content Processing fails intermittently[^]
Tutorial | Quick start-up for .NET core on Windows and Linux[^]
JTable as HTML <select> element[^]
Changing JTable Layout[^]
JTable Spring Hibernate Demo[^]

I've touched up the formatting on a couple that were out of sorts. It looks like a few others did it for themselves and there's a plagiarist in there that I deleted Smile | :)

You deleted the plagiarist? Sean, I like this new more assertive approach.

As I said, two of the guys corrected the articles quite fast.

My point is... how they did get approved having such format problems?

In my opinion... Last time articles are being approved quite fast and quality is being reduced. And I don't speaking about the technical contents only about the visible form (format, indention and things like that).
That's why I told another time about the suggestion of the "approvals list", as we say in germany "we could give them one on the between the ears" for blind "OK" votes.

I've asked Chris to make some changes to address this exact problem, but until he does we're going to have to chase things around after the fact.

I'm sorry but you have posted this in the wrong forum. Your question has to do with the site and how you interact with it, so the place to ask is in the Bugs and Suggestions[^] forum.

Daily build mail didn't enlist my article

I wrote a new article available at below mentioend URL. It came online this sunday (17th July). Since then I checked both the build mails received on Monday and today but it didn't list my article. My article's URL is as below. Can someone help me in getting this resolved.
Tasks and Task Parallel Library (TPL) : Multi-threading was never this easy in .Net[^]

Looking at the revision history, is the 17th the first time it ever went live? The way our newsletter works is that it looks at the creation date. If you create an article outside of the week / day of a newsletter, it won't include it.

What I can do is go and mark your article as updated and it will be in tomorrow's daily build as an update. Would that be acceptable?

Thanks,

Done. It should be in tomorrow's Daily Build.

It didn't come even today Frown | :(

While creation, I had selected the category of my article as "Articles » Platforms, Frameworks & Libraries » .NET Framework » General". Can that be an issue?

Sean Ewington21-Jul-16 6:05

You probably wouldn't have received the Daily Build yet. I haven't received mine yet Smile | :)
