Re: Reported as "Poor Quality" but still get approved - Article Writing Discussion Boards

Hi Guys,
I am finishing a new article and got an issue: Integer factorization: Revisiting the trial division algorithm[^]
This is a copy of a console, background is black and chars are white:

print 1//3+1//4
 7//12
print factorial(100)
 9332621544394415268169923885626670049071596826438162146859296389521759999322991
5608941463976156518286253697920827223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000

is

HTML

<pre style="background-color:black; color:white">
print 1//3+1//4
 7//12
print factorial(100)
 9332621544394415268169923885626670049071596826438162146859296389521759999322991

When I go to the article, it is what I see, in article editor it is different and in preview it is a third flavor.
- Does any one know how to get the correct view when published ? Should I use a snap shoot of screen ?

If you can see the article, feel free to comment any issue you see as English is not my primary language. Note that I still have to spellcheck the article.

I have question regarding the article: Morestachio. More Mustachio, less Mustache[^]. I reported it as "Extremely Poor Quality" with comments due to some spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Here are a few examples:

> Today I want to intruduce you to Morestachio. a Fork of Mustachio.
> It worked great but had some drawbacks as every data must be prepaired in code or at least bevor it was given to the engine
> So i decided to create a Fork from it and impliment all this missing things and even some more.
> I am currently devloping a small set of usefull formatter in a lib besides the main Morestachio project.

Question are:
1. Is the Author being notify of the issue?
2. Is the CP Editor being notify of the report?
3. Why did it get approved?
4. Are we (the approval) suppose to notify the Author?

I'm not trying to criticize the Author or the article, just trying to help maintain the quality of the articles on CP and wanted to understand the process.

#1 AFAIK, yes
#2 CP-Staff should be able to see it
#3. To get help answering it, is why Chris is working on the "approved by" list. So we can spot sistematical or "friendly" approvers. (pity is, there are still some things to polish and might need a time)
#4 When getting approved, you receive an Email. (or what do you mean?)

Sad is... there is a big % of pretty bad articles, and a lot of "who are you to say what is good or bad quality" defendors.

Just keep giving your 5 cent to keep the site as qualitative as possible.

#4 Should we (whoever discover the issue), contact the Author?

Thank you for your input.

Bryian Tan

You should contact him when in moderation when you find such things. If still approved, you can contact him again and re-report it with one of the options of "needs help" so the article get flagged for the CP-Staff

If you still think it is too poor... you can / should report it as too poor, again.

Or did I missundestand your comment?

Hi,
Was this "Chris" working today, by chance? I submitted my blog and the first article was approved, then I saw got some notifications on CodeProject, but when I logged in, all of the notifications, the article, and everything are gone.

It's disheartening when you spend so long working on a blog article, only to have someone tear it down when you're done.

BTW, to dude who started this thread...

2. No one intentionally posts crap on their own web site.

This system needs improving. When I signed up for this, no one mentioned anything about how this system gets updated every time I update my post. That's good, but unexpected. Also, no one tells you about things like, how is CodProject going to interpret the code blocks I added with WordPress shortcodes? Apparently, it parsed the code blocks out and it looks good.

It didn't display the links to the source content that I added in the reference section at the bottom of all of my post. I worked on making this possible for over a year before I was able to programmatically add content from the Microsoft GitHub repo so that all of the reference material is there in on place, all linking back to BOTH the GitHub source and the equivalent page where it's being display on Microsoft's website. So the attribution is there. You're just not seeing it.

The reason I mention this here is threefold. First, you are acting as a representative of CodeProject in this interaction. Second, you have had opportunity to describe my work and I am taking this opportunity to do the same. Third, in the event that you are a reasonable human being, I might enlighten you as to the nature of the project you've spent so much time publicly tearing apart.

I got a blog imported via rss feed. The format was messed up. I deleted it as I did not want users to see an incorrectly formatted article. I have now corrected the formatting issue. I wonder if I can have that 'restored'. The article I am talking about is at Map/Reduce script in SuiteScript 2.0[^]

Thank you.

@OriginalGriff I suppose you actually reported something but not approved it... am I right?

I voted "formatting" if I recall correctly.

Then I suppose the "approved by" is still mixing reports and approvals and Chris needs time to dig deeper / sort it out.

Dependency Injection Lifetimes in Blazor got changed to article after edition.

@Sean-Ewington did you change the type on purpose?
If not... please change it back to blog as it still contains links to his blog (which actually could be considered spam /site driving in an article)

Sadly we still have a bug where if you edit a blog entry it turns into an article. I can't change it back and I can't leave it as it is with all the yellow code blocks. It's a very unfortunate situation.

Ok.
