Re: Editorial Note in a wrong article - Article Writing Discussion Boards

I've messaged Paul a few times about the links. We don't have a dialogue yet, but as long as he doesn't put links to his articles back in after I take them out, I'm fine with him.

I've messaged Fred to start a dialogue.

Thanks,

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Do you delete the link in competition article, please? Last time I edited something, it went a bit bad

Getting Started with PouchDB - Part 1[^] this guy has been warned about using links and still is writing publicity about his blog in the articles (see the last sentence in the summary). It is not and has been not been a blog, all versions were articles.

Article says:
For more information about PouchDB, check out my blog located at LINK.

Additionally...
(Getting Started with PouchDB - Part 2[^]) is still using link shortener ["In my last article here on CodeProject.com, https://bit.ly/2Mjy3kp, you learned to insert..."] and same link to learn more in his blog.
Getting Started with PouchDB - Part 3[^] a link shortener again in ["The pouchdb-find plug-in can be downloaded at https://bit.ly/2s1AoYp..."] (this time without blog link)
In Security in Angular - Part 2[^] another link shortener in ["I am not going to explain this code as it is well documented at http://bit.ly/2GYt1H3..."] (My warning almost 3 weeks ago was ignored)

And I have not checked the fed Blogs

I would say, if he doesn't react, maybe a short deactivation or something similar? Other users would have been nuked sooner with such behavior.

I suppose the author chose wrong flags.

Yeah, the note is automatically added based on the "Author Resources" section. An Editor will have to change the section.

IMHO it would actually make more sense, if the self selected section "Author Resources" would just rise a flag, that someone with correct rights had to confirm that it actually is something that belongs to the section and hence deserves the editorial note or not.

The amount of "false positives" is bigger than the number of real "Author resources"

Thank you to all CodeProject staff - you're doing a great job. Final wish - could we fix the fat gif i have in my article? It's the only gif in the article and present demo in final form. I guess you are using some tool for resizing the images and this tool just took the first frame of the gif, resize it and place it there.

Please, let me know if I should upload a smaller gif or we can go with the main one and just set width=600px for it?

Please send me your gif and I will place it in the article sean@codeproject.com

How long does it takes for an article submitted via Submission page to be approved - it is said usually very quick. What does this very quick means - one hour, one business day, etc?

It varies: but it;'s generally hours rather than days. But all the moderation is done by volunteers (and the criteria to become an article moderator includes authoring articles, so we understand both how difficult it can be, and how frustrating it can be to have it sit there doing nothing) and it will depend on which moderators are available and have time to read it.

For most articles, a good degree of familiarity with the subject matter is obviously needed - and that can mean that it waits until sufficient skilled moderators can read it properly.

That can take time: not normally too long, there are quite a few of us! Have a little patience, your article in the moderation queue is quite long and takes a little reading. And moderation is more than a quick scan and hit approve; moreover it takes a number of moderators to agree that the article is (or isn't) suitable for publication: that it is accurate, informed, useful, not plagiarised, and not spam - and to point out problems that need fixing if any are found.

We moderators aren't here to make your life difficult, or to be nasty - quite the reverse, we protect the site from not-ready articles, and authors from the derision and downvotes that poorer articles can receive. And to be a moderator, you have to write articles, so we know what it feels like when you slave away on something and Joe Moron from Stupidity High School, Kansas finds out it's not what he needs to hand in as his homework ...

Don't worry, it's OK, I agree with you 100%. I just wanted to have a rough idea, I have been making this article for few day, step by step, so for me it's not a problem to wait day or two, just wanted to see how the process go.

Thanks Smile | :)

FYI, the latest edit of your article seems to have lost all of the images:

Yeah, that's correct, I am re-uploading them at the moment. They were not shown anyway Smile | :)

Ok, now I can see them in draft version, but they are still not shown in article.

Hi guys,

New to CodeProject and I flubbed my first article attempt--have re-written it and am trying to resubmit, but it remains closed and the date last updated isn't changing.

Clearly I'm missing something... Have tried searching FAQs and such, striking out...

Please let me know the right way to proceed.

Thanks

Do you have code to attach to your article? That's seems to be all that's missing.

Thanks,
Sean Ewington
CodeProject

It's attached as a zip file... not the right way to do it?
