Please be patient, CodeProject staff have lots to keep them busy, and it's night time now.

OK. Thanks for your reply.

Yes! Thank you very much for publish my article.

Unfortunately it seems there was an error during the process of your submission and your article/code was not received. Would you mind emailing me the full article and code in a .rar, or renamed .zip (ie .notzip) file?
Thanks,

My article was approved an published earlier today. Then about 40 minutes later I received an email saying my article "has been deleted because it has an inappropriate content as judged by our readers and editors".
The rejection email came from Webmaster@codeproject.com with the note that this is an unattended email box. How to contact the editor team to find out what specific content in my article is inappropriate so I can revise it?
Thanks

The problem with the article is that you are an employee of StresStimulus discussing your product and some of its features. As explained in the email, we do have a place for that and if you were interested in posting this content, or content like this, I'd be happy to put you in touch with someone from our Sales team.
Thanks,

Thanks for explaining. This article is about adding a close button to a tab control. It includes code that I developed for StresStimulus, a load testing tool. The reason I mentioned StresStimulus is to explain to readers that this code works reliable in the heavily loaded environment. But the article was not meant to be about StresStimulus. Therefore, instead of moving it to a different place I would like to publish it in the code section.
What is the best way to do that? Do I have the option to remove the sentences about StresStimulus and resubmit it? Or do I need to create a new article by removing these sentences?
Thanks

I sense we are nearing a slippery slope so I will briefly describe the two paths available here.
1. Editorial / Resubmission
- No mention of StresStimulus
- No links to StresStimulus
- No requirements to go to the StresStimulus site for any reason
- Share a local copy of the full source code unless merely providing coding examples all needed code is within the article body itself
- No requirements for free version or trial version of anything
- No requirements for the reader to leave the article to get anything, all needed code / explanation available within the article itself
2. Product Showcase
- None of the requirements from (1) apply.
Thanks,

Thanks for explaining the options.
I have one more question regarding an option similar to Product Showcase option.
My understanding is that Product Showcase section contains information on products and services where readers will get information on available solutions. Because my article includes complete source code, which by itself provides a complete solution for developers, the context of the Product Showcase section would not be right for it.
I saw a number of articles in the Code section where an author will include a link to the product/ company where he/she works. For example http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/303686/Windows-Azure-Diagnostics-Performance-Counters-In
Considering that my article follows last 4 out of 6 rules that you explained, is there a way for me the publish my article in the Code section? Can I discuss this option with your sales department and if yes, how to get in touch with them?
Thanks

I have deleted that article you mentioned. We get a lot of articles; it's difficult to catch them all.
All the rules must be adhered to for the editorial section. The sales team really only deals with the Product Showcase side of things. If you were interested in that route I would consider writing a different article, in which case I would get them to reach out to you.
Thanks,

I'm curious about this blog-entry => article:
Blog entry published November 2, 2013: [^].
CP article mentioned in October 20,2014 CP e-mail Daily Build: [^].

I think you might have messed up your clickety. Your "CP article" link points to a SO question...

We tend to try and discourage this. If they want their blog entry to be consumed, it's a simple enough process for them to sign up.

The CP article is a blog entry that's been pulled from his site. Take a look at the Info box - this tells you that it's a Technical Blog, and even links to the blog in question.

Hi Pete,
I wonder ... and I am not sure about this ... if this type of article posting doesn't enable a kind of short-cut to reputation "enhancement," and results in lower-quality articles.
On the other hand, I can see the view that if the article passes peer-review here, and is accepted for CP, then it has value ... or, at least as much value as most articles here (which, imho, is not too much value).
Fortunately, for every 100 articles that approach zero-meaningful-content there are one, or two, which are absolute gems 
uncomplainingly, Bill

Sadly, I couldn't agree more. I approach my blog posts in the same way I write articles - is it something new that I'm teaching someone? In other words, the content has to be enlightening, but it's a blog posting because it's not long enough for an article.

If someone has a bunch of good content that isn't posted here and then they decide they do want to post it here, then it's all good. If they happen to get a ton of rep based on the articles and (hopefully) upvotes then even better.
Getting technical information out into the world helps everyone in the end.
cheers

Hi Chris,
I agree with what you said, completely. In fact, I've seen, over the years, many "classic" CP articles go on to become open-source projects on CodePlex, and GitHub, while the original article stays here, often updated frequently, and supported for years. In my mind those articles ... like Philip Pipers's ObjectListView, to name just one ... are "crown jewels"
My question in this specific case involves a spate of articles which I think have little value, are often just bare-bones re-wordings of MS documentation.
You may ask why I don't down-vote such articles; the answer is I simply don't want the hassle that may result from my identifying myself. If I think an article has value, and can be improved, I often do post comments with "gentle" suggestions.
cheers, Bill

If you don't wish to downvote then please use the reporting mechanism. Enough votes and the article is removed. Less than that and we'll find it and look at it on a case-by-case basis.
cheers

I just posted my IoT article. Preview showed all the images, then after publication they're not showing at all...
