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.
Thanks,

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:

For tips on writing articles, please see this article:

It appears on my list of tips/tricks, but when I try to click on it, I get a black background with the following text:
Quote:
Ticket:
Error: An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed.
Abort, Retry, Fail?_
I uploaded the article the 17 May 2024, it's not a big deal to do it again, but I don't want to leave strange links in ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) house...
What should I do?
Thank you all in advance...

I'm afraid that page means that article is gone gone, and no one can recover it. I am very sorry.

Thanks very much for asking. These aren't quite the kind of articles we're looking for at CodeProject. Tempting though, you're a great author ... The issue would be that less good authors would look at the style of article, and think it was OK to post their own.
Thanks,

In my latest Tip which was updated some hours before, there was a problem with the images.
Then I made another update and replaced 1 image and added 1 new image.
The preview was looking really good.
Then I clicked on publish.
But on viewing the new version, the images for the Context Menus are wrong again.
WPF DataGrid with RichText, RowDetails, Grouping, Filter and more![^]
Correct would be:
extracted-image-1.png => Context Menu of Data Grid
extracted-image-2.png => RichTextBoxFormatBar
|
|
|
|
|
So under the heading Context Menu, we're looking at the first two images there, correct?
If you refresh the page, do they look OK?
Also, when updating them, did you rename the image filenames?
Thanks,

Hi,
I did not name or rename any images.
I use the "paste from word" button to insert images to the article.
But today the released article is different to what I saw last night.
Update with F5 does not change anything.
TODAY the 1st image below Context Menu is OK.
The 2nd image below Context Menu (and below "The RichTextBox on the RowDetails has it's own ContextMenu.") is WRONG and could be removed
(but not deleted because it's the one that belongs to "RichTextBoxFormatBar" where it appears a 2nd time).
That could be the easiest way to fix that issue, if you can agree.

I think I understand. I've updated the article. Please let me know if all is well now.

If I make a neat tool that I think adds a lot of value for Visual Studio programmers, and that I do not want to charge people money for it --- rather, in order to make the world a better place, I just want to fling it out there, along with its source code and corresponding GitHub repo, would it be acceptable to write a The Code Project article about it, describing why I wrote it, its feature set, how to use it, and such?

CodeProject is more about knowledge-sharing rather than it is tool sharing. I actively remove articles deemed as tool-sharing from the site. The proper way to post this would be to write an article about your tool. Share the code, how it works, why you made it, what you learned along the way, interesting bits of the full source code, explaining concepts around the code and why you made those decisions. Basically turning your tool into a class lecture and explaining it in a way that the whole class can understand.

Yes, Sean,

Maybe I was not communicating well enough, but that was exactly what I was intending to do. The only issue is, each tool has over 100 Visual Studio projects as part of its solution and is written in a production-level fashion. I assume a multi-part article series would also be acceptable, so I did not have one really huge article covering the gamut of the effort. Would that also be acceptable?

I guess it depends on how many multi-part we're talking. Five parts is OK. I'd say that's a good and reasonable maximum. Otherwise huge article is totally appropriate. Members even seem to like it.

Like the subject line says, that is my question.
I've been a member and author on the Code Project for 24 years. I do not want to do anything wrong, but I think it is important to try and get eyeballs if I feel I've published something that is going to be of interest to the community.
Regards,
Brian Hart

Everyone who publishes something online wants/needs eyeballs. I certainly appreciate and understand that. But I think the method by which you try to get those eyeballs matters.
The Lounge is not meant to be a place to share your recently published article. Doing so could be construed as an ad, which is against the Lounge's policy.
If you've published something that is going to be of interest to the community, the content will speak for itself.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Well, consider the situation where everyone who wrote an article, including the hundreds of spammers, decided to promote it in the Lounge.
|
|
|
|
|
That's fair.
But if I worked really hard on a long article, and I want people to know about it ("ta da, here's this really cool, informative article I wrote and humanity will be better for the knowing of it") why can't I make a mention of it.

Some authors put a link to their latest article in their signature. Do that if you want to drive people to your article.
|

@sean-ewington, we have an article posted[^] with a link in to a Youtube channel. The author says he might be remunerated for this. This feels like spam to me.
|
|
|
|
|
Whatever the reasoning for that link, it has been removed.
Thanks,

The latest public revision of my project article is 6. However, there are revision 7 and 8 in composing state. I want to delete revisions 7 and 8, and only have revision 6 as the last/latest one. How do I delete just the 2 revisions that are in the composing state?
What I have tried:
If I select the "trash can" link, I get a prompt with:
"Are you sure you want to delete this Project?"
No... I don't want to delete this project. I only want to delete the last 2 revisions that are in composing state.
|

I don't believe you can delete revisions, unfortunately.
Thanks,
