Article Writing

Re: I wonder if there is a way to download all the articles submitted by myself?

We do not currently have a way for you to download all your articles in a single shot. Were there particular articles you wanted or all of them?

Thanks,

Thanks for the answer Sean. I hope to download all of them at once of course.

Authors' names order inverted

I published an article in partnership with another person. I’m the author and this person the co-author. In the first article versions, the author's name (my name) was shown first. But after some updates, the co-author’s name and his picture started being displayed in first place.

I tried to update the article several times, adding comments to the editors, explaining it, but there was no result.
I tried to remove the co-author, and then added it again in a new update, but it did not work either.

The article: Developing a Private Network Connection iOS App exploring OpenVPN Protocol

Could someone help me to fix it?

Thanks very much for your message. Unfortunately, we are unable to change the order. Author order is decided by member ID number, and is something we cannot change. The only way to achieve this would be to remove the co-author and place a bio in the article itself. Or possibly to create a new CodeProject account that has a higher ID number, but I would like to test this out first to see if it works.

The author id (my id) is 9465228. The co-author is 11051825. (mine is older).
Strange, beacuse the order switched during the article updates. In first revisions my name was displayed first.
When I'm editing and click in "preview" or when I save a draft, the order is shown correctly, but after publish it changes.

I tried to create a new user and added it to the article but not worked. This new one became the last shown.
I start to think that order is related to member reputation.

It does appear that way. Unfortunately reputation can't be manipulated, only created organically. I think the only way to achieve what you want is to include the other author's bio in the body of the article itself.

Obsolete article?

@Sean-Ewington

please have a look: CoViD Spread Simulation (without SIR equations)[^]

I asked him why not to delete it if it is obsolete and has no content... I suppose he is still learning how the site works.

Maybe have some words with him?

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.

Yes, he has only been a member for 6 years and 10 months. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

You told it, not me Poke tongue | ;-P

Jokes apart... he is member for a time, but his first publication was this one and not so long ago. And I remember him having "rookie" problems in that too.

Hi Sean

1) Anything you want, but, in my opinion, you should have warned me before deleting my item.

2) In your messages the word "him" appears many times. that's very bad! It is clear that there is you (a small elite of 'enlightened') and all the others. This is the very last thing that needs to be done to create a real community

I apologize. Our focus on maintaining article quality is of the upmost of importance to CodeProject. We cannot have articles on the homepage and in newsletters that exist only to link to other articles.

In the future, please feel free to reach out to me and ask about our site capability and functionality before making major changes to your articles.

I do not discuss the choices of the site

I would have asked for the rollback and re-established the old article

If you would like, we can take the formatting of the new article, revive the old article, and place it in that revived one, the delete the newest one.

1) I am not Sean.

2) the word "him" has nothing to do with "small elite of enlightened". How am I suppose to speak about a person with another one without using the gramatical 3rd person?

We have been having words, I'm afraid. I'm not sure my words are working. Thank you for pointing this out. While I appreciate his desire, this isn't a good look for the site.

the "not ready to publish" article is back (was it removed ?), and it is still a mess

28-Jun-21 4:09

His suggestion could be a good idea though

How to Start a Robust C# Project in the New Nullable Context with Generics?[^]

I think it has been revised, but the technical quality is really poor, and some of the author's assertions are absurd, even grandiose. The code examples are still opaque, and not explained fully.

The author's now angry [^]: I hope my advice [^] was constructive.

I'm taking a gamble on this one. Let's try and guide him. Hopefully over time he approves this article, and improves his next one.

My first response, to the first draft, was an attempt at constructive advice, not a down-vote; only when his response to my comment included his assertion that if the code examples had problems we could help him spot them did I realize he really had no clue what an article was. At that point, I did down-vote, and, as I believe is a responsible thing to do, did not down-vote anonymously.

By removing my first comment, and his response to it, the context has been muddied.

Hopefully, some other members here will weigh in on the technical value of the current content, and, register their opinions.
