I've written an FAQ on plagiarism to help authors understand what is plagiarism, as well as help members identify it. It is here: CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ[^]

If you find an article that is plagiarized you can either submit a report on the article itself, marking it as "Plagiarized," or you can report it in the Spam and Abuse Watch[^] forum with your evidence and a link to the members account, or you can email me directly sean@codeproject.com if you suspect plagiarism or have further plagiarism questions or concerns.

This forum is for any and all questions for Code Project Article Writing:

Have a question about writing an article?
Having trouble posting?
Blog aggregation not working?
Not sure about your article topic?
Is your article still pending?
Is there a crazy formatting problem in your article?
Not sure how to update your article?
Having problems with the submission wizard?
Need help making a change to an existing article?

As a basic overview CodeProject articles have a certain layout to follow, so that users can learn the most from them. Each article attempts to answer the following questions: What problem does this solution solve? How does this help someone else? How does the code actually work? What is going on inside the code snippets?

Here is a submission from a first time author who did a terrific job, just to give you a basic overview of what a beginner article might look like:
Avoiding InvokeRequired[^]

You can take a look at our article FAQ series here:
Code Project Article FAQ[^]

For tips on writing articles, please see this article:
A Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project[^]

You can also see our submission guidelines here:

If it has to do with posting articles on Code Project, ask away. CodeProject staff and members are here to help.

Hello! I sent you my article for publication twice. The first time I sent it to the specified mail and the second time I sent it to the site itself. But I did not receive any answer, and my article completely disappeared on the site. When will I receive a response and how can I find a submitted article to your site?

Have you checked your email? If the article was rejected from moderation you should have received an email with information about it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

@Sean-Ewington
I added a Tip today: Adding images to a Winforms Project so they are accessible as resources[^]

When I previewed it, it was fine.
When I viewed it after posting, the top two images were there, the other all missing, showing a placeholder instead.

So I edit the tip, delete the missing images from the text - which are still missing, but the top two are there - and re-insert them. They look good, so I preview - fine - and publish.

All the images are missing now!

What did I do wrong? Big Grin | :-D

[edit]
Deeksha suggested I re-upload the images, so I re-did 2 through 8 inclusive as 1 had reappeared.

All present in preview, all present immediately after post.
Currently, they all appear to be there ...

You did nothing wrong :/

Please email me the images. I'll fix them.

There's a bug with the images I can't reproduce where sometimes they disappear. Basically you edit the article and re-upload them and then they work again.

I reuploaded and reinserted them.

I wonder if this is because I dropped all eight on the "Drop files here" box? Do they go into "temporary storage" while the article is in process and then move to permanent when posted?

Re: Where did my pictures go?

I always drop all images in the Drop files here box. Sometimes they all publish perfectly. Sometimes they don't.

Why isn't Raku listed as one of your languages

I'm considering writing an article introducing Raku to this community, but don't see a Raku entry in the list of language tags. So, is such an article not wanted?

Re: Why isn't Raku listed as one of your languages

Sean Ewington24-Mar-23 9:09

Sean Ewington

24-Mar-23 9:09

I suppose the reason we don't have a language tag is that not a lot of people have written about Raku. As long as your introduction to Raku had elements people couldn't find elsewhere online (or if its entirety is something people can't find online), we would very much welcome that article!

Sean, I have read many articles here over the years, and many have been tutorial in nature and quite duplicative, but interesting never-the-less as a refresher. However, frankly, I would like to use a code fragment to introduce and provide some PR for my favorite programming language, Raku.

I suggest it be used as a beginning computer language instead of Python--if for no other reason than it is a C/C++-like language in its use of blocks and semicolons. Plus, it is really easier because the core language is huge and most of the required routines for common use are included without having to memorize all those add-on packages just to read and write a file. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea. Oh, one more thing for single-finger "typists": names can be "kebab-case" (e.g., 'my-var; instead of 'my_var').

As a simple but powerful demo of core Raku, determine the day-of-the-week of 2023-12-25 (Christmas):

my Date $d .= Date.new: 2023, 12, 25;
say $d.day-of-week; # OUTPUT: 1 [where the answer is in the range 1..7 (Mon-Sun)]

Sounds like it could be interesting! Please proceed. If you want to submit an article outline to me or something like that while you're writing, please feel free (sean@codeproject.com).
