Hi all,
I just posted a draft of publication to know if it could be a good article or not.
To get feedback I had to mark it as "ready to publish" even it wasn't.
After that I had some short feedback telling me that it was not the right way to proceed and that I would need a "Mentor".
@OriginalGriff told me that he could be the one, unfortunatelly I tried to find a way to contact him but it looks impossible.
After a unsuccessfull one hour search, I post this question to know :
- how I can contact one member? (private message?) 
- how I could find a mentor without doing the dirty trick I did? 
Do not hesitate if you have an article or a previous post answering this question.
As I said before I search one hour before posting ...
Thank you

OriginalGriff kindly contacted me about your article and that you were looking for a Mentor. I have changed the status of your article to "InReview." While in this status you should be able to talk to OriginalGriff (or another Mentor) who comments on your article telling you how to improve it.
Once you are done discussing how to proceed you can make changes to your article. If you check the box "work in progress" the article won't be published, and I believe your Mentor will still be able to make future comments on the article. Once the article is complete in the Mentor's eyes you would uncheck that box and the article will go back to the moderation queue.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Hello
I started my first article (http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/SubmissionWizard.aspx?aid=735864[^]
1. During edit the code section (pre formatted) show fine but in preview everything is messed up (no more line breaks but html codes).
2. I am using Linux and firefox 27.0.0.1 and I am unable to upload files. Tried a zip with .c, .h and .ino within and a png image file. Everytime I get 'Upload failed'.
Is this OK?
If so, I stop putting any more effort in this.

Hi,
I always want to give an nice article. But my poor English and my poor Writing Flow. Always my article are goes into the tips section  . Everybody asks the explanation about the article. But I clearly explained with my knowledge.
I guess the problem is my poor English.
I believe I'd definitely improve my skills in codeproject.com
I want the answers for following questions. Kindly Answer me. 
1) How to improve my English?
2) How to Improve my Writing skills? Need Some Sample Articles? (Easily Understandable).
Thanks,
Anand. G

First of all, please let me congratulate you on the fact that you are writing for CodeProject. It's truly a wonderful thing choosing to share knowledge with others. Now, if you are wondering why someone says it should be a tip/trick and not an article, it's normally because of one of these things:
The article is primarily a code dump. There's very little explanation of the code.
The article is short. It shows what you are doing but doesn't explain why you are doing it, what made you choose to implement it that way, what the alternatives were that you rejected and so on.
The article is short - even with a full explanation of why you chose to do it that way and so on, the actual code is still only two or three lines long.
If you want to see what constitutes an article, please go and read articles by Nish Sivakumar, Marc Clifton, Sacha Barber, Daniel Vaughan, Paulo Zemek and many other wonderful authors. The thing you will see in all of their work is attention to detail and the amount of thought they put into crafting their articles.
As far as your English goes, don't worry too much about it. When you finish writing an article, don't submit it - leave it in composing status and email Sean Ewington to ask if a CodeProject mentor can take a look at it. The mentors will generally help guide you through the process of getting your article published. They will tell you what needs to be changed and why.

Also read articles by Pete O'Hanlon[^], who is too modest to promote his excellent work.

I added the RSS feed of my WordPress blog and followed the instructions i.e.
1. Add a Code Project category
2. Add a anchor tag with CodeProject
3. Set the setting as Full Text
But my blog does not appear in CodeProject. It gets displayed in 'My Blogs' section but status as 'Last Polled' : never and 'last Updated' : never.
Can some one help me so that my blogs are visible on CodeProject site ?

I think this might have been related to the URL you entered as your feed. I've updated it. Should help.

I published an article recently (see here[^]). But it seems that it was not set up correctly:
1) The code is not browsable (not commited into the git repository). Am I supposed to do it myself? If so how?
2) The popularity of the article is 0.00, which is likely not true since it has some audience and downloads.
Is this article is only half living somehow?

Hi,
Hope somebody can help me. Just noticed that the last editor of this article
Facade to disparate databases[^] has included a few extraneous XML tags in some C# code. The added tag is </integratedfaultcontracts> and is in the 'Take a License', 'Update a Use' and 'Delete a Use' paragraphs, last item after the closing brace.
Please could someone let me know how I can fix this? When I try to update the article I don't see the version with those changes in it.
Thanks much

I've done it again. I wrote an article, but apparently I used too few words. Question to the moderators and reviewers, since when quantity trumpets quality? Things that used to take us hundreds of lines of code, became one-liners, which do not require elaborate explanation or walk-through. So why are the reviewers stuck in the mindset that more words is better?

What goes on in that one line though? Just because something can be reduced to one line doesn't mean that we don't want to know why you are using that one line? What decisions you took in deciding that one line fits the problem domain? What are the edge cases or compromises that we have to consider?
That's what we want to know, and you can't cover that type of thing in a few lines in an article. It's not just the how, it's the what and why as well.
