I don't believe you can delete revisions, unfortunately.

This was submitted as a Project:
How to implement a Custom Authorization Filter in C# .NET Core[^]
I noticed that several experienced reviewers have flagged it as "Wrong type". What am I missing? There are many Articles that should be Tip/Tricks, but I thought pretty much anything could be a Project if it discussed a repository, unless the documentation was poor enough to simply reject it.

Project type submissions are actually supposed to be the same full-fledged articles; a thorough explanation of their code, how it works, why they made it, etc.
Unfortunately, most of these Proejct submissions are just people sharing their GitHub projects, which is totally understandable. If it were me, that's what I would expect. What usually happens is this gets into the realm of tool sharing, which is not what CodeProject articles (or CodeProject) is about. So sadly, I delete most of these submissions, while offering to the author, "hey, we'd love to have this if you were able to make these additions."
If I had to guess, these reviewers are flagging this article as "Wrong type" because they want it to be a tip. My experience is that reviewers feel like anything that's short, or simply "not good enough to be an article" should just be a tip. Like a dumping ground of sorts. "This is good, but not article good, so, it can stay, just over there." But what tips are supposed to be is essentially extremely condensed articles. You still have to explain your code, what you're doing, why you did it, but it's a short solution to a simple problem that doesn't require / ask for in-depth explanation. Here's a recent, perfect example:
Access your Microsoft JSON DOM the easy way with the dynamic keyword[^]

... me, I'm still searching for one. I don't like using the article writing tool from scratch because I write slowly and revise a lot. I am quite happy with writing my drafts using Markdown in VSCode but when it comes to importing them in CP tool, there is no easy way to do it. The "Markdown All in One" extension in VSCode has some kind of "export to HTML" function but it doesn't play nice with CP styles specially for code formatting.
Is there a way to import directly markdown in CP? Do you have other insights how to make writing/editing easier?

I asked about using Markdown in articles a few months ago. It looks like it's going to be a work in progress. Right now, this capability doesn't exist.

Yes, I have that one but writing in HTML is painful or I haven't found a good HTML editor.

I liked Editpad a lot when working with HTML some years ago.
I stopped using it in 2017 though, so I do not know how the current versions will be.

Thank you Sean, I know you guys are super-nice. What I was looking for were suggestions for an workflow that allows me to keep the content in a more user-friendly format than HTML. In the meantime, I'll keep muddling along

I know thisa is a bit old, however, for those interested in using Markdown, I use Markdown Monster: The Markdown Editor for Windows[^] to write my article, then use the copy option that can copy as html, paste into CP source page, then clean it up.

Interesting...
Do you have to clean up many things?

Been a little while since my last article. Mainly the code block markup is different.

I'd like to write my first article. Using HTML looks painful. Does anyone have any info on CP accepting Markdown?
Graeme
Markdown Monster looks nice.
- Please clarify "copy option". Do you mean "Save as HTML"?
- Please clarify "paste into CP source page". Do you mean the codeproject_template.htm? or the submission wizard page?

If you send me the Markdown version, I can help you get it posted. sean@codeproject.com

I've written some fairly long articles entirely within the tool, occasionally switching to its HTML mode (mostly for tables). I just do a lot of saves and previews. It teaches them a lesson by busying out their server!

I wrote mine in Notepad with the HTML Tags per hand.
Then used the preview and modified the Notepad version before select all+copy+paste+preview again.
Have been a while though... I am not sure if I would now have the same patience

Saw this Motivational Numerology[^] article on the home page. Seems iffy and spammy to say the least, perhaps someone could verify? Not sure where to post this, as the user is a long time member and article writer.

How To Use Polly In C#: Easily Handle Faults And Retries[^]
format broken, a bunch of bad links, asking for suscription, affiliation links, several this appeared first on in addition to the CP's blog feed entry...
@Sean-Ewington or @Chris-Maunder would you mind to speak with him some serious words?
Is the second time I post it here because his content is not bad and I think he can do better in this topic, but it is getting annoying with his pushing passive earning sources and site driving efforts.
Next time I will report him in the S&A, sorry.

I sent him an email. If you see a blog entry like this next week I will delete the feed and consider this matter closed.
