Article Writing

Note From Code Project - The Article Writing Forum

30-Jul-15 6:25

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:
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.

Closed article confusion

Stanko Milošev2-Feb-23 8:32

Hello,

on 21. Januar I have created an article, which was not accepted because of missing information. I have started discussion with Graeme_Grant in order to understand how to write the article better, but on 22. Januar the article was closed, and I thought it was deleted. Yesterday I saw that the article is actually still there, with messsage:

Quote:
Closed because the post is not clear, or is incomplete and has not been phrased in a way that allows it to be fully understood.. Reported by Sandeep Mewara, Mehdi Gholam, Wendelius on Friday, January 27, 2023 6:12am

But I can't access to discussion with Graeme_Grant, I can still see the discussion partly in notifications, but as soon as I click on one message it is gone, and I can't see it again, it looks like it is deleted.

Can anyone please help me? With whom can I discuss so that my artice can be approved?

Thank you in advance.

You have posted your message in the right place. CP Staff will come back to you when they can.

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.

Thanks very much for your message. Once an article is closed, I'm afraid, the article forum is reset and the comments disappear. However, looking at your article that is currently in composing status, I believe if you simply explain what is happening in your code a bit (rather than a step by step, here's the code you use) this should be great. Might work better as a tip, but I'll take a look again when you're done.

Thanks,

Hi,

now I am unable to upload files. Last file which I have uploaded is gone, and I wanted to upload one more file, but I am receiving the error:

Unexpected error during upload. One or more files may not have been uploaded.

Now I have another problem, if I go to "My Articles", and then I click on the article which is btw without title like [Article:5352695], then I am receiving the message:

We're sorry, but the article you requested could not be located.

but if I go to my messages and click on a disscussion subject, then I am still able to see the article.

I am in the middle of updating the article, still I haven't published yet, I am waiting for a fix for the problem with upload to be able to upload my host application.

Why I can't access my article via "My Articles"?

Hi @Sean-Ewington

December's "article of the month" competition includes That's not a database, dude![^] which I published on Dec 1st ... but which won 2nd Prize in the November competition.

Not sure it should be up for both months, should it?

Why are my two deleted articles still visible?

10-Jan-23 9:24

Unfortunate. Thank you for your honesty. I can't actually eliminate it from the survey, so I have to mark it as removed. Sadly I also can't do anything about the votes you received either. They have to sit there.

Thanks,

The 2 articles of my Schafkopf Starter Kit project were deleted by me some months ago.
They are still visible when I search for "Schafkopf".

Perhaps I want to release a Refactured Version later this year - then it would be very bad if the old ones are still there!

Please wipe...

This seems to be a bug. I will let the dev team know. You can't actually access / see the article for now at least.

We allow authors to see their deleted articles. So if you the article in a browser you're not logged into, the article will show as deleted.

I can see it as "existing" in your homepage articles list, but I get an error if I try to follow to it.

You need an admin - someone with access to the CP Database.

Hi, I'm starting the programation in arena, and I have a problema for to do the simulation of entry process, my objective is do a simulation if some cradles in one whay.
The entry of process is sequential cradles (a single way), where in the first part the supply is done one by one pack in the cradles, the packs are transported one by one by a car, but the priority of car depends of 3 conditions, 1 delivery pack for next movimentation system , 2 intermediate weighing, 3 colect de packs in cradles and avance for point 2.
The second part (next movimentation system) the packs are transported four by Beam, in this case, the packages are lifted by a beam, which lifts the six packages present in the last six cradles, advancing them together one position forward, so only the most advanced one will actually reach the process.
If you cold help me, I will be a very in Grateful.
I can't imput 2 packages in same cradles, and is impossible through another cradles charged by another pack.
Excuse me due my english.

Hello Sean,
Should I consider the article is totally lost and cannot be retrieved? - due to the bug
Also is there a way I could know a reason for the rejection?

Thank you for answering
