@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

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:

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks,

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

way too many edits for me

30-Jul-21 4:01

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.

Re: way too many edits for me

27-Jul-21 2:08

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".

I did try to reason with him. I will try something else.

The author of (still posted now, originally posted June 25, 1.20/5 10 votes): [^] ...

is back (July 8) with: [^] which is as just as disorganized as the first tip-trick. It repeats much of the content of the first post.

If anyone(s) did try to assist this poster (Sean ?), clearly that hasn't worked.

imho, both pieces should be removed.

I really appreciate your care and concern for CodeProject as always. Deleting articles is my go-to tool in probably far too many cases. Sometimes I reach out to reason with an author while their article is in the submission queue, but the article either gets approved while I wait for a response, or the author doesn't respond at all. In rare cases, like this one, I let the author's article live while trying to teach them how CodeProject articles work. I think this author really needs to experience feedback from the community, whether by votes or by comments. Maybe CodeProject isn't for them. Perhaps some day I will go back and remove these posts, but for now, I'd like to see how the community effects them and the author.

Thanks,

It was pending and got auto-approved without moderation after the edit / corrections of a CP Editor.

I already rised the "issue" in the B&S a time ago, but either got forgotten or is not important enough and got relegated in the ToDo-List due to low priority.

I don't think so...

your complain was correct here as it was speaking about the article. I just gave you a small feedback of what probably happened.
