So strange. I was able to submit the draft. Are you done with the update?

Thanks,

Yes, I see the article has been updated - thank you!
I don't know what is going on with the tags error. I am planning to write a new article soon - will see if it will work for the new one.

Hi Sean,

I have to ask you to update the article again. I keep getting the same error over and over again - don't know how to fix it.

Done. This has happened with a couple of other members so I'm hoping it will help the dev team track the issue down.

Thanks,

Yes, that would be really nice if they fixed that. It's been happening for a while now.

I tried to update the article and the problem is still there. Could you please help if possible?

Thanks for reaching out. I've pushed the article update through. Please let me know if anything is amiss.

Thank you!
It would be really nice if this issue was fixed - I've been hitting it for quite a while. I think there may be some tags associated with the article stored in the database that are not shown on the page, which could explain why it complains.

I've re-reported the issue to the dev team, hopefully they are able to uncover the root of the error.

Hi Sean,
I was pointed out in the comments that there is a broken link in the article. I fixed it and have to bug you again since this vexing limit-of-8 problem never goes away.
Thank you!

No problem. I've pushed the update through.

@Sean-Ewington
Comparison of Sorting Algorithms[^] is a verbatim copy from another blog, someone notized it and asked. The user says he has permission, but...

is there an easy way to check that out without havin to register over there to post a comment in the original blog?

M.D.V.

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.

Some of my github projects are not available for import as article

13-Aug-21 2:46

It would be a little weird to share someone else's blog feed, then claim the first post that came through as your own. It would be the first time I've seen it. But to be safe, I've left a comment on the original blog post.

Thanks,

Example: GitHub - brainflow-dev/brainflow: BrainFlow is a library intended to obtain, parse and analyze EEG, EMG, ECG and other kinds of data from biosensors[^]
I am an owner of this github org and have admin rights for this project and there is a readme.md but when I click articles->import github project I dont see this repo

What can be wrong?

I know for our blog entries we have a minimum word requirement. I'm not sure if the same is true for GitHub projects. That said, this project readme wouldn't quite meet our submission guidelines. Would you be interested in submitting this instead as a full article?

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 looks like:
Avoiding InvokeRequired[^]

You can take a look at our article FAQ here:
CodeProject Article FAQ - Part 2: How to Post an Article on CodeProject [^]

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:
http://www.codeproject.com/info/submit.aspx

Please let me know if you have further questions.

I thought you can import a github project and after that change the article for it, no?

Re: Some of my github projects are not available for import as article

Sean Ewington30-Jul-21 5:01

way too many edits for me

30-Jul-21 5:01

I suppose the issue is that the project would be removed. But, if you would like, I could create your readme article in a status that you could edit and improve into an article.

@Sean-Ewington we already spoke about the author of this article some weeks ago in the S&A forum.

IIRC you had some words with him about trying to push his article in many message boards of other articles (some totally unrelated) and we spoke about his periodical edits.

He is doing it again. You edited his article 4 time this month and he always edited it again between some hours to a couple of days later.
Many of the edits are "minor changes" are just making a word [strong] or changing a capital letter and others are so "minor" that the compare function in the versions history doesn't even find something to highlight as a difference.

I don't want to report him yet. But I think that he is trying to "fool" the system and keep his article always in the front page and retain visibility, more than doing meaningful or needed edits.

And I don't find this is a good way to promote his publication.

See here[^]. Some of my updates look the same when the only significant change is the download's functionality.

Thanks. I was speaking about him.

562 edits to the article[^] still are a bit too much for my taste and a bit suspicious after that bunch of non related messages.

But I don't want to report it, that's why I suggested the "some words from the staff".
