I am writing an article with pieces of code from xbase family languages: dBase, Clipper, FoxPro ...
// Trial Division Square Root
function TD_SR(Prod)
Local D, Top
Top= int(sqrt(Prod))
for D= 2 to Top
if Prod % D = 0
return D
endif
next
return Prod
Does the <pre> tag know ghw to highlight such language, or which language is recommended ?

I've been away for 7 years and now I've just got back and I see that my last four articles(Mars Mission 1-4) are all gone? what up?!? I spent over six months working on that project and I was looking forward to getting back at it.

I looked in my listed of articles ... and they're all there except the Mars Mission ones.
is this Big-Brother suppression?

Definitely Big Brother suppression. We all know Mars was faked in a Toronto studio.

I posted an article and all the image links are broken. They looked fine in the article editor, and when I previewed it, but now that it's up and running all the image links are broken. Here's the article: App for CPU Temps, Fan Speeds, etc., Part II.

A bit more information:
When I go back into the article editor, each image has a red bullet below it stating "image missing." They weren't missing during preview and when I posted it. The source zip file I uploaded is also missing.
I tried re-uploading one of the image files, and after doing so I now have two files listed with the same name: "300_HistoryZoomBoth.png". One appears to be okay, and the other still has the red "image missing" bullet below it.
I'm afraid to move forward and re-upload all the images because this looks like a real mess and I don't want to screw it up even more than it is.

Spent about a month putting together an article in bits and pieces, and kept it flagged as work-in-progress. Now, when I'm ready to post it, it won't post. Twice I've hit the post button, and on my "My Articles" page it's still listed as "This is an unfinished article." Both times I waited 24 hours and nothing changed. Any ideas why it's stuck?

I figured it out: I forgot to select a category for the article. Duh! Once I did that it seems to be unstuck.

I invested a great deal of time getting my blog together this weekend and after hours of writing and re-writing, I finally was able to get the article sent to CodeProject. It was approved. Then I saw something pop up saying that several people said that it was copied from somewhere else, which is impossible. But regardless, I can't find those notifications anywhere. There's no record of my articles even being picked up by CodeProject, much less being approved or removed or anything else.
Where would I find that log? What could these people be talking about, regarding my blog?
My blog is https://www.SevenDaysOfSchema.com by the way.
I know there are rules but geez that was a ton of work to go through for nothing.

Oh really? 
The "Formatting ..." blog is plagiarised. A random paragraph shows up identically on MSDN: GETDATE (Transact-SQL) | Microsoft Docs[^]
The "Query ..." blog is plagiarised. Worse, it's plagiarised by typing it in which introduces spelling errors!

As has already been stated, the attribution was an image and the image was surrounded by a link, directly to the source, which is Microsoft's website. Beside that, is a link to the GitHub repository where the Microsoft documentation can be reviewed by content editors, like me. It looks like your parser removed or mangled this part of the page, but it's plainly visible if you go to my website.
This reference information is included at the bottom of every one of my example queries. I did this because some information is really handy to have available right on the page. The process of acquiring the information about Transact-SQL language constructs and SQL Server stored procedures and other objects, figuring out what objects are present in my example query, and bringing everything together on a single page so that reference information can be viewed alongside the example query without having to find information spread across multiple locations on the Microsoft site, is a process that took more than a year to complete.
You are acting as though I am the enemy. Why is that? I'm just a dude that's trying to make the world a better place. If you don't like my book review, I can care less. I didn't mean for that to get posted anyway.

Because we get far too many people who think that Google, Ctrl+A + Ctrl+C, switch to CodeProject, Ctrl+V, post is the way to become a published "author" here.
As a result, we take a zero-tolerance stance when it comes to plagiarism.
On some rare occasions, that can result in mistakes. I see you've replied to the original report, so you can discuss with Wendelius whether that's the case here.
You might also want to get @Sean-Ewington to take a look. If he's convinced it was a mistake, then he can restore your articles.

I am a volunteer Paramedic. I perform at exactly the same level when I'm being paid as when I'm not. I guess we just hold ourselves to different standards.

Still waiting for you to apologise to Nelek for your unwarranted and unacceptable abuse.

You are terrible representative of this web site. You have been dishonest, rude and showed zero respect for me, despite the olive branches I have thrown you.
I, who has posted my name, photo and contact information on my profile, website and everything I write.
You two don't even have a picture. You could be literally anybody, so there's no accountability for you statements, is there? That make you cowards in my book and even when I am wrong and I am not wrong, I don't apologize to cowards. I will apologize to people who care for loved ones with special needs, for my use of the word "retard". Besides, people with special needs are not dishonest hacks, building "reputation" off of the works of others.
Oh and all those points you guys have? Those are just points you got while "volunteering" to criticize and down vote other people's work. Why this site gives points to down vote someone's work is beyond me, but hey, this isn't StackOverflow.
I am deleting my account, so go ahead and get all that down voting in while you can. Those points could be all you guys will amount to if you don't grow up.

Remind me: which of us has called another member of this site a "retard", and suggested that they have a "tiny erection"?
And then repeatedly refused to apologise for doing so when challenged?

There you have it folks... a CodeProject reviewer who replied without bothering to read the post. Imagine that. hahaha
Run along now.

You clearly have no intention of becoming a valued member of this community. At every stage, you demand that we bend the rules to meet your own special needs. When long-standing and respected members try to help you, you resort to insults, or rants about how bad this community is, or toothless threats to delete your account.
I suggest you take a break away from your computer. Go and do something relaxing for a while. When you're ready to apologise to Nelek, and work with the community rather than against us, then feel free to come back.
If you don't feel like doing that, then go ahead and delete your account. Your abuse won't be missed.

And by the way, I did read your post. You seem to be describing yourself quite well:
Quote: You have been dishonest, rude and showed zero respect for [us], despite the olive branches [we] have thrown you.
Quote: dishonest hacks, building "reputation" off of the works of others
Says the plagiarist.
Quote: Oh and all those points you guys have? Those are just points you got while "volunteering" to criticize and down vote other people's work.
Incorrect, on so many levels.

Hi Guys,
I am finishing a new article and got an issue: Integer factorization: Revisiting the trial division algorithm[^]
This is a copy of a console, background is black and chars are white:
print 1
7
print factorial(100)
9332621544394415268169923885626670049071596826438162146859296389521759999322991
5608941463976156518286253697920827223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000
is
<pre style="background-color:black; color:white">
print 1//3+1//4
7//12
print factorial(100)
9332621544394415268169923885626670049071596826438162146859296389521759999322991
5608941463976156518286253697920827223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000</pre>
When I go to the article, it is what I see, in article editor it is different and in preview it is a third flavor.
- Does any one know how to get the correct view when published ? Should I use a snap shoot of screen ?
If you can see the article, feel free to comment any issue you see as English is not my primary language. Note that I still have to spellcheck the article.

I have question regarding the article: Morestachio. More Mustachio, less Mustache[^]. I reported it as "Extremely Poor Quality" with comments due to some spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Here are a few examples:
> Today I want to intruduce you to Morestachio. a Fork of Mustachio.
> It worked great but had some drawbacks as every data must be prepaired in code or at least bevor it was given to the engine
> So i decided to create a Fork from it and impliment all this missing things and even some more.
> I am currently devloping a small set of usefull formatter in a lib besides the main Morestachio project.
Question are:
1. Is the Author being notify of the issue?
2. Is the CP Editor being notify of the report?
3. Why did it get approved?
4. Are we (the approval) suppose to notify the Author?
I'm not trying to criticize the Author or the article, just trying to help maintain the quality of the articles on CP and wanted to understand the process.

#1 AFAIK, yes
#2 CP-Staff should be able to see it
#3. To get help answering it, is why Chris is working on the "approved by" list. So we can spot sistematical or "friendly" approvers. (pity is, there are still some things to polish and might need a time)
#4 When getting approved, you receive an Email. (or what do you mean?)
Sad is... there is a big % of pretty bad articles, and a lot of "who are you to say what is good or bad quality" defendors.
Just keep giving your 5 cent to keep the site as qualitative as possible.
M.D.V. 
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.

#4 Should we (whoever discover the issue), contact the Author?
Thank you for your input.
