Hi,
I want to remove my article's previous revisions from published. How can I do the same?
Happy Coding...

If absolutely necessary, you can delete it and recreate it.
However, that is very counterproductive. For example, anybody with a bookmark to it will lose that bookmark. Also, you may lose reputation points associated with the article.

If in previous version there was some mistake and in version i hv corrected that one..what should I do??
I can't delete it bcoz, as you mentioned I will lose reputation points associated with the article
Happy Coding...

Just leave it. It really doesn't matter if an older version has a mistake you corrected. Why do you think it should?

Maybe we are talking about different things. You can just edit your article or tip/trick and only the newest revision will be displayed. A user has the option of viewing old revision of an article if they choose to, but that will not be what they get by default. Now, if you create a second article or tip/trick, then you are just making the mistake of creating a second article when you should just edit your first article. I'm not sure what the problem you are having is.

Hi,
I have been thinking to write an article on HTML 5 canvas. I notice that CodeProject article web pages are HTML 4.01 which translates to mean I have to host my HTML 5 canvas animation on another website. Am I right?
This posting is just to confirm this.
Thanks!!

No. All it means is that people will have to download your code; which is the standard for articles anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
And is it not better to preview how the code plays before going for download?
I think the OP is asking how to show preview live (other than attaching snapshots).

Surely if you're writing an article on the HTML5 Canvas you'd know enough to know that the doctype doesn't define if the canvas is available. Look closely at these forums. Notice as you hover over a message, the arrow on the left of each message? That's drawn on a canvas.
However, I'm guessing your point is you want to provide a demo in your article. We don't allow javascript to be hosted live within articles for obvious security reasons, but a downloadable page is just as effective and useful to readers.

Hi Chris,
I just want to provide the path of least resistance for the viewer to see the animation before reading the article; most readers have the habit of reading the article first, then download the demo. This takes surprise out if they read article before viewing canvas animation. However, I must say the rationale of not hosting live javascript in article, is sound and sensible.
Thanks!

Why is my article, Using jQuery Mobile with MVC and Netduino for Home Automation, not in the competition for the best Mobile article for March?
|
|
|
|
|
The better question why this article is in the list: Async/Await Could Be Better[^]
Did anyone actually read it or it gets selected by its size? The more words the better chanse to get into competition?
|
|
|
|

They fixed a bug in the site and got my article on jQuery Mobile in the list. The bummer is that 50 people already voted.

Can't vote as I already voted - Damn bugs.
In January I got about 30 votes more than the second fellow in C++ category and you know the auditing process gave prize to the second article - no offence, the second article is still good, but I felt a bit sad. And yes, I felt a bit anger, but just let it go and taught of never expecting any thing again from CP. I suppose the votes of CP MVPs are valued more than the other regulars and they have a say in the process.
As a consolation I got in Feb in the Mobile category which I never taught off.

Thanks for your message! I feel your pain  Congratulations on wining in the Feb Mobile category. You wrote a great 5 star article!!

Your Home Automation with Netduino and Kinect[^] is one of the best drafted article I have seen. Just don't let your spirits down by this. They will surely appreciate you. After all there are very nice people out there in CP.

CP MVPs have no say in the process. The auditing process looks to see if there has been suspicious voting patterns; you were probably unlucky there. Possibly several people from one organisation voted for you and this was deemed as being suspicious (I can't say whether or not this is true as I'm just an MVP and have no access to the voting logs). I can understand that you were upset, but you should probably have taken this up with the site admins at the time.

Quote: Possibly several people from one organisation voted for you
May be my colleagues, who have read it and appreciated it even before it got picked up for voting. Now why that should be a problem.
It's a bit strange.
Say if all my colleagues don't find my article worthy and finds the other guys article great and say if they have all voted for him, then for God's sake don't say that the guy's article will be kicked out as suspicious - is this fair ? 
Quote: but you should probably have taken this up with the site admins at the time
But the other article which got prize is one of my favorite for that month. So I just let it go and it wont make any sense at least to me to argue upon this. But to be frank I am a bit dejected 
Quote: have no access to the voting logs
Yup, that is the way it should be. Only few admins should have access.
In spite of this, I still find CP as a great place and the best for sharing the knowledge. I am a great fan of how this site is run by Chris and other supporting staff. I am just addicted to it and I am happy to be so.

To answer the implicit question. There have been people, in the past, who created additional accounts just to vote for themselves. This is obviously unfair to people like yourself who let your articles stand on their own merits. The admins look to see if there are blocks of votes from newly created accounting the same IP address and remove them if there are. Unfortunately this can go wrong in the case we just looked at.
