What does it mean if my articles shows pending status? How long should I wait to confirm that the article is approved or not?

Pending status means that an article is awaiting approval from the Code Project community. The vast majority of new articles on Code Project need a couple of tiny improvements because they do not sufficiently explain the code within the article.

I can see your post has been approved already. Typically you won't wait longer than 24-48 hours unless you're in the process of fixing up your article that requires some continued community feedback.

This week's newsletter mentions Kenneth Haugland's article: Finding prime numbers[^], which has won the monthly award for best article. I just came across this submission[^] which covers the same subject, although possibly not written quite as well. Should we accept the second one also or reject it on the grounds that it really does not offer anything new?

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Good catch. I think in this case we throw the author of the new article a gauntlet. "Can you please state the differences or change focus to something different?"

I've tossed it to his feet. Smile | :)

Code Project has been a valuable resource to me as I try to get back into programming after a 30 year "sabatical".

So...

I thought I'd give something back to the community and publish a solution I found to a much-googled Windows 7 security issue.

But...

As soon as the article went up, it was closed again, because someone reported it as "unclear"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

No explanation, no message to ask if I could clarify whatever it was that was "unclear", no offer of any help to rework the article in a way that was acceptable to the "powers that be".... NO!

Just "Closed".

I won't be trying again. If anyone is interested in any of the work I'm doing, please feel free to message me, but I won't be trying to publish any of my code on here again. That's for sure.
