Looks a lot like spam, but the Google translation is pretty poor - any Indonesians can confirm or refute please?

They have got to be in English, yes.
But if it's spam, than the account needs to be removed as well.

Or one or the other guy was having a happy trigger day.
Whatsoever, I learned that one can judge a lot by the font which is used, and comparing it to the other stuff waiting for approval it was relatively save to say that the article (and maybe even the Member) needed to be removed.

Just gave the last kick to the user.
Both are now gone.

This user

has not only posted a plagiarised article (see my below post) but has also posted two questions
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/MemberPosts.aspx?tab=questions&mid=10502784[^]
to which he answered within one minute.

User Gone, article gone, QA still there, but as the answers do answer the problem... I think we could leave them

Mainly copied from SharePoint 2010 – Installation on Windows 7[^] or the authos's blog.

I wondered where it was copied from!
I couldn't find it, so I considered it was most likely spam, looking at the user profile.

Abuse voted for article and poster. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

I stumbled over

Quote:
Execute the command file and the installation will show the previous screen

because there was no image. Googling for this found the CP article and the author's blog.
