My article (Why hackers love String data type?) was approved and published. When I login into codeproject and edit this article, all images are showing up fine. But its not showing up once article is published. Can someone help figure out if I may be missing something?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So, what you're saying is...
Je ne colore pas.
|
|
|
|
|
Je ne le fais pas couleur "je".
I think. I'm very, very rusty.

That makes sense too, though I don't see the use of "le" and I think the French (and Canadia-ans) use a different form of quote. So...
Je ne fais pas couleur «je».
Or should I say...
Tu ne fais pas coleur «je».
Or, given your position as overlord of the hamsters, perhaps this would be more appropriate:
Vous ne faites pas coleur «je».

Sean has moved on from Mankini's - that was so last year; very chichi in fact. Sean's new attire is fur lined codpiece and nipple tassles.

I'm about 10% through Rosetta Stone now, and I'm starting to see the "le [verb]" pattern pop up. Crazy Frenchies.

Lately, I have been noticing the quality of articles on CP is going down. One of the basic rule is to have article in english. How come this was approved?

I think this was just corrected.
When I opened it up from your link, I saw the article in Spanish. I went to the bottom and opened the comment about it not being in English, I clicked the articles permalink and suddenly it was in English - confused the heck out of me

Yes, right! But even after translating to english, I do not think that it makes a quality article.

What a well timed post.
Sean and I have been talking about a new system to handle exactly this type of thing. There's not enough editors to handle the workload, so we're going to tackle this issue in two ways
1. The editors will focus on all new articles and ensure they either meet a minimum bar or are pushed back to 'composing' status to have the author rework it
2. We enlist help from you guys to help us identify and correct formatting and grammar issues such as this. English isn't everyone's first language (C++ is, though, right??) so the most important thing for me is that the community help make an article better as opposed to making an author feel dumb.

Good to hear that you are thinking about this.
Do you really think C++ is everyone's first language? I thought it was C# 
I have another suggestion. I notice that most of the articles are not really good enough for articles but Tips. And when pointed out, Author starting asking how to convert an Article to Tip. As far as I know, there isn't any option to do it yourself (apart from sending mail to Sean).
Why not include an option, for e.g. : 'Switch to ->' Arctile | Tip | Whatever...

There is definitely the ability to convert articles to tips (and vice versa), except if the article is an alternative to an existing article. In this case the alternative article must be of the same type.
Tips are meant to be very small, very quick tips. Short articles are fine, so we need to be careful we don't pollute tips with small articles.

May be a new queue where all such articles that get 5 votes for 'Wrong Type' are pushed and users with power can convert it into other type and push back again into approval queue?

BTW, where does this fit: Server side Delimiters in ASP.NET[^]?

That's an article. A reference article.

Thanks. I too thought so. Converted.

Up until fairly recently, only CPians above a certain reputation level were allowed to vote on new articles, but it now seems that anyone can do so. I suspect this often means the use of friends and/or sock puppets to get sub-standard or incomplete articles published.

When I signed on as an editor, one of the restrictions asked was that we didn't touch new articles (articles less than three months old). Perhaps if this restriction were lifted, we'd help tackle the backlog.
