A reference is even less than a Tip.
By the way, you can have a look at the article FAQ, too - Code Project Article FAQ[^].
An article is a technical document, including source code, background information for source code and a compiling source code example.
An article typically shows an idea, or an attempt, without a complete source code to download.
A reference is... uhmm... Honestly: I have no idea what that type was made for - I guess it is to have something to avoid Tips only having a few lines of code.
Maybe the Submission Guidelines[^] can help you further.

It's quite easy to imagine a Reference as just that: A reference to some other resource, with zero or little real content in the reference itself.

I know I got the initial idea of a tip/trick wrong, I thought oh great I can drop my 1 and 2 liner snippets here and just grab them when I like - I think it has evolved into a mini article format so my midget contribution look quite anemic.
I'll stick to snippets for now.

As far as I'm concerned you're using the tips/tricks the right way.
It's always the same problem to define where the border between a tip and an article goes.
And I also believe that where many articles in the older times got voted down for lacking content, they're now told to convert it to a Tip/trick instead. I can't really complain about that.
Politicians are always realistically manoeuvering for the next election. They are obsolete as fundamental problem-solvers.

Right you can see where my mind was this morning, I saw this headline on the BBC website:
Bacon painting fetches record price [^]
and thought 'That doesn't look like its painted with bacon...'
Hmmm not a good start....

My first thought was "bloody hell the cpians have invaded the BBC".

Don't be silly! It's a painting of bacon.

I remember sometime back, someone had written a book or an article here for beginners on Ruby. I just can't seem to recall anything about it. Does anyone remember?
