There are no "both", the author is the only member in this group (at least for now)

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?

Check the article: it has two separate authors: Shvetsov Evgeniy, and SimbirSoft

I would delete this group account with the name and publicity of the company. Your other personal account might still say that you work here in the user profile (as you already do, and that's the polite way to do it and the one most of the users use).

But this "company" group is a step too far.

Hi Nelek!

Can you please give a bit more details about the problem?

And how we can fix that?

Thank you!

Remove commit history in git[^]

It got approved with weird font and no snippets and a new version without visible changes is there with a lot of reports, but the author is not reacting.

Wrong forum; this is for question on articles that you have written. However, before reposting elsewhere please add some proper details to your question. As it stands it is difficult to understand what your problem is.

I am not sure if it is something to report in B&S forum, so I will ask first here.

There are a couple of the last approved articles that have problems with images and / or the snippets.
i.E. Dependency injection in "WCF Service Library" project with Self hosting[^]

But they are approved by people like @OriginalGriff or @Wendelius so I suppose they (the articles) were not having such a problem when in moderation.

@Sean-Ewington ~~could~~ would you mind to have a look? Is it something happening once approved? Or am I having aproblem (IE, FF and Chrome tested, same issues in all 3 browsers)?

That's weird, if I recall correctly, when in moderation, the article contained a picture with a small stormtrooper walking on the sand. Confused | :confused:

Some images are disappearing from articles but we're having trouble reproducing the problem. We're still looking into it.

I'm trying to submit another article, but the formatting is weird and the dropdowns' and text formatting doesn't seem to work. I never had that issue for previous articles. I've tried different browsers as well as different PCs.Any suggestions?

Hello,

My Article SQL Wrapping Class[^]

Was suddenly deleted, The reason was:

because it is of insufficient quality as judged by our readers and editors
By Sean Ewington

There was 3500 views, 10 votes, 3 bookmark.

Please take note that one of your editor "Deeksha Shenoy" update the article and makes change as what is fit the "submission guidelines" and that was at 2019, June 18, What is the insufficient quality?

It was better to advice and suggest correction tips rather than delete the entire article.

I ask to have my article back and ready for any correction.

Regards,

I can't tell you why it was flagged for deletion, but I can have a pretty good guess: your code is vulnerable to SQL Injection[^].

Quote:
The Value property will be rendered to a pattern by adding the % character at the beginning and the end of it:

VB.NET
Database.Table.Name = "Customers"
Database.Table.AliasName = "cust"
With Database.Table.Query.Items
   .Add("cust.CustomerId")
   .Add("cust.ContactName")
   .Add("cust.City", "Lon", QItem.Types.WHERE_LIKE)
End With
The generated SQL Statement will be:

SQL
SELECT cust.CustomerId,cust.CompanyName,cust.ContactName,cust.City _
FROM dbo.Customers cust WHERE cust.City LIKE N'%Lon%';

NEVER use string concatenation to build a SQL query. ALWAYS use a parameterized query.

Everything you wanted to know about SQL injection (but were afraid to ask) | Troy Hunt[^]
How can I explain SQL injection without technical jargon? | Information Security Stack Exchange[^]

I would be very surprised if Sean and others hadn't left you a message explaining this critical security vulnerability in your code before closing your article.

There's nothing stopping you from re-submitting the article once you've fixed the vulnerability.

I can't say for sure, but I think there was a heads up in the message board.

What surprises me, is that it got approved a couple of times. Maybe someone should give a heads up to the first approvers

BTW... the thirs link... not valid anymore. They moved it to GitHub

I'm writing a magazine article and I'd like to include a link to a CodeProject article. I'm wondering if CodeProject has short format URL for articles; like Bitly but specific to CodeProject.

Cheers,
