I think I figured out which entry you are talking about. These do not have to be articles in the traditional sense, and the entrants have until the end of the month to fix up their articles.
I know it's a little painful and a change from the ordinary, but I'd ask you to bear with us. Sometimes some pretty cool things / authors grow from contests like this.
Thanks,

Last time i made a post as an article, but it was been published as a tip with out informing me.
an editor asked me if would i considered it as a tip.
But i replayed "Not actually. Please help me out why I should post it as a tip rather than an article"
although it was not considered.

Tips are generally more straight-forward, (sometimes) how-to pieces. Articles are usually exhaustive educational items.
We definitely want the author to be happy, but part that will also deal with the response of the members. I promise you a post that members will generally view as a "Tip" that gets posted as an article will receive a number of downvotes and messages saying, "This should be a tip. Why is this not a tip?"
Thanks,

The day before that i also posted
String Join or Split in SQL Server[^]
some member was saying about terms and conditions. How i was breaking any terms i really don't know.
help me out with it too.

This one's simple. You posted someone else's copyrighted work here on CodeProject. This is plagiarism, and this is something that we do not allow. We expect you to come up with the content, rather than just copying someone else's work. That is why the article was closed.
|
|
|
|

Yes that is my question, if I would wanted to claim the code why I would provide the links which helped me out? Why would I claim other ones work?
And I thought I would help others if he get this two at a same place
What wrong I did!!!
|

By publishing their work here, that's plagiarism. If, instead, you'd just linked out to them then that would have been different. To put it another way - imagine that you had managed to get the sourcecode for Windows. It's fine for you to post a link to Microsoft for people to get a legitimate copy of Windows from them. It's wrong for you to provide the code for them on the grounds that you're just putting it into one place for them.

Ok its making some sciences
But let’s say I studied few links before I post an articles. Is it like from now I will not be able to add those links at my post?
It is important because I am working on few articles a want to post them. I was not write post in code project for last 6-7 months. I started this month and facing that sort of things.

A simple rule to follow. In general, if the words or the code belong to someone else then you can't use them.
|
|
|

If you remove the large images and the code dump from the prose, what are you left with? Are you educated as to the thought processes that have gone into this, or is it a recipe for someone else to follow. If you come away knowing what design decisions were made and what trade offs have been considered, then it's definitely an article. If all you come away knowing is what the code actually looks like, then it's a tip. You can argue all you like but if you want people to rate your article based on its content then it makes sense not to give them a distraction to downvote it on.

Those large images was been used to make more seance. Not the size of the post.
An indicator image can help you out ... writing less words and making more seance 
|
|
|
|
|
You misunderstand. If you take out the images, there's not a lot left. There's certainly no indication of the thought processes and the decisions that went into it. That's why it's a tip. Don't get hung up on thinking about the title, the fact that you posted a tip is a good thing. Not everything has to be a fully fledged article - a lot of my earlier articles would be classed as tips now but because the tip system wasn't in place then, they are articles. It's only the larger pieces of work that I would class as an article now.

A tiny correction: I am not editor (Editors are CP-Staff), I am protector (volunteer).
About your answer to my suggestion, I answered you as well. In short is the same as you have been told here. So I don't think I have to go into details, it is not going to bring anything new to the conversation.

I intend to write an article (including source code) about my implementation of the double-double type (an extended-precision floating-point type, implemented using two 'double's). I have used code written by David Bailey (the QD library) as a starting point, but am adding many features:
* higher precision for trigonometric functions
* better implementation of exponential functions
* implementation of additional functions present in the C++ <math> header
* writing the code in a modern manner (everything in the appropriate namespaces, etc.)
* ...
Would that sort of article be acceptable as a new article, or is it likely to be considered plagiarism?
[Naturally, the non-original parts of the code are acknowledged in the source and in the article.]
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As long as you give proper attribution, and the original work is open to derivation, I don't see their being any problems.

OK, thanks.
The article will be posted in a couple of days...

What Pete said.
Would't Quadruple be a better name?

Actually, no.
binary128 (AKA quadruple-precision) is defined in the IEEE-754 Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic as having 1 sign bit, 15 exponent bits, and 113 mantissa bits (1 bit is hidden). The problem is that no hardware imlementations exist, as yet.
The 'double-double' type uses the sum of two binary64 (AKA double-precision) values to represent a 106-bit value. The advantage is that double-precision is implemented in hardware, and so even though we need more operations - it is still faster than a software implementation of binary128.
I'll stop now, or I might as well write the rest of the article here...

Well then it makes sense.
I could argue, probably in vain, that there is a point in forward compatibility.
But that's for a different article then.

|

I'm also working on a software implementation of binary128, but - as you say - that's another article.
[BTW, the 'double-double' idea is not limited to binary64. There is no reason why you couldn't have a 'quad-quad' type that gave you 226 bits of precision...]

There are plenty of consultants with the neame of their firm as username. It probably won't be classified as spam.
The Grand Programming Works, Ltd. wrote: 2) Can we all a link to our website in all our articles?
That can classify as site-driving, I think the best thing would be to put your website as the home address in your profile.

Only if you properly spam (i.e. "increase your muscle mass with _magicproduct_").

Yes, but we'd typically warn you.

The name is not what defines spam. It's the intent that counts.
