Maybe you did too much shortening?
Quote: My primary point with this article is to look at a process a developer can use to decide whether to write some general functionality, or to use a library. Of course, the secondary point is that JHelpers is just such a library availabe for use, if desired.
You speak about a library that should help me reducing my development time, but you don't explain anything about your library in the technical point of view.You don't give me anything that makes me want to invest my time in checking your library.
Even the new title:
Quote: Build or Buy - A Simple Explanation and Example
The new version of the "article" is more a marketing text than a technical content.
That's why I reported "unclear / incomplete"
And sorry... I still think the same.

How is it Marketing text" when nothing is being marketed. Nothing for sale. Nada.
The article clearly explains, and focuses on, a way to apply value engineering to the "build vs buy" decision. Code that allows a deeper look at the use of the NuGet package is in a public GitHub.
A reasonable developer, interested in the topic, would then look at some of the functions provide, and think about how long it would take him or her to write it themselves.
As for the snarky "We are doing it right now, aren't we?", only because I had to dig and go to this forum, instead of a simple link in the anonymous email allowing me to have a discussion with those who complained.
What, specifically, is unclear of incomplete? The article defines its purpose, explains the thought process of the purpose, and then offers a conclusion. It doesn't get more clear than that.
I am willing to address any specific flaws you see, but subjective generalities are no excuse for censorship.
I hope you can provide some specifics.

Neither any technical content is being discused.
If you had tried to sell something, then not only your article would have gone, but your account too.
On the other hand, you mention your JHelpers in almost every paragraph, in the middle of some text that actually has nothing to do with it and telling the name brings nothing to the text or what is being explained in it. Hence, yes, for me this is marketing.

More the content of a blog.

Yes, but you are publishing in codeproject. Please read: Code Project Article FAQ - article requirements[^]

It is not an anonymous email, it is an automatic generated email by the server (not the same). And it is informing you about what happened and who did it, so neither it is anonymous.

And yet you miss the point of "technical" article. Forget the "unclear" and think in "incomplete". You are trying to promote your library, describe your library.

No, you are not. A CP Editor told you some very valid points. And I am trying to tell you other points, you are refusing to see them and "fighting back".

The site works for and by the community. It has been like that since the very beginning and I suppose (I can't foresee) that will continue being like that for a while. And a community is full of individuals with subjective opinions. That's why it is always needed several matching opinions before any action.
