I'm taking the approach that "recognition" isn't meant in this context as some neutral thing (as in recognizing bad work) but that it implies a positivity to the work, if that makes sense, so here goes.
Recognition would imply some sort of public accolade, award, announcement, credit, etc.
Appreciation is usually more private, a bonus, a pat on the back, a...ok, I won't go there..., an extra vacation day, etc.
Often, recognition occurs without appreciation - ok, so I got a stupid shiny "good job" trophy that was given to me by the manager in front of the rest of the team, but what I really want is something practical, like a bonus (i.e, appreciation).
Conversely, I may get a huge bonus for developing an algorithm to solve failure modes in communication satellites, but what I want is recognition - my name on the patent application.
Does that help? Probably not. Anyways, I hope you appreciate the effort, but I don't need recognition

Yep you got the it right! My original question was about the subtle differences between these two words in this context.

How about:
Daughter took one back to sound like Charleston, perhaps with unrestricted sensual pleasure.

I was asked to delete some of my articles from this website by previous employer, whatever reasons. But previous versions of that articles remained available. Codeproject Webmaster is not responding to my questions... I'm starting to regret I've ever joined here.

You need to ask him the reasons for the same unless you have made an intentional intellectual property infringement to him.
