article[^] [Edit]by user[^][/Edit]

Raised by: Board message[^]

The first image of the article is similar enough to the one in the other site without the "copyright" markwater. It looks like reduced in paint. I didn't report it yet.

[Edit] I don't really understand it... It would have been easier to do that in excell and make a screenshot and avoid plagiarism than editing the original as he did D'Oh! | :doh:

There are clear signs of cut-work on the image (in zoom you still can see the reminders of the grayish writing visible on the original)...

Not if you don't understand what is going on at all...it's easier to copy than create, after all... Sigh | :sigh:

There is another image in the article that seems to be copied and modfied too. It is the "State Management Techniques" image in the Server Side State Management section. Source for this image is C# Corner: State Management in ASP.Net[^].

So this is a clear case of copyright violation.

Other articles from same author

He has two other articles.

For Azure Blob Storage with ASP.NET MVC[^] if found an image copied from Accessing Windows Azure Blob Storage from PHP - Brian Swan - Site Home - MSDN Blogs[^]. So this should be reported too.

[EDIT]
Forgot the four tips.

How to Create and Connect SQL Server and Database on Windows Azure[^] uses the initial image of the "Quickly Create an Azure SQL Database" video at SQL Database documentation - Database as a service | Microsoft Azure[^].

How to create Virtual Machine in Windows Azure step by step[^] uses the initial image from the video Windows Azure Virtual Machines | Windows Azure IT Camp Online | Channel 9[^].

SQL Joins in LINQ[^] uses the image on top of SQL LEFT JOIN vs LEFT OUTER JOIN | Examples[^].

The fourth tip is an edited wiki.asp.net article.

For the remaining article I did not found anything so far.

So kick that too.

It is actually not an old article form wiki.asp.net (I remember now that there was a thread about that).
