Yea, but have you read some of them? I mean, they are not exactly, err...., well written ;-) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
Yes, i read five of them and then gave up the good hope to see something good and interesting :) In my opinion these articles should be removed from CodeProject.

All articles are pieces of ****. 1 point is too much. Bad article formatting, no real contents, no examples, no links work, etc... Chris, can you remove all this **** articles?

SimonS wrote: The more articles the better for CP in general. Well, but now compare for example Planet Source Code and CodeProject. At CodeProject you find excellent, interesting, informative articles and at Planet Source Code, you can find excellent articles too, but there are so many "not so good" articles that it isn't really funny to browse through all the articles. :mad: SimonS wrote: If the articles aren't great, then maybe they should just stay as "unedited user contributions". This would be a solution... yes... X|

I think that if the articles hadn't been unedited that some of them wouldn't have made it. I;ve written some stuff aimed at students just starting to learn code that Chris rejected as being too simple for CP. Because VGirish chose to put them in unedited he can put in what he wants. At least that's the way I understand it. Besides somebody may find it useful and in the end that's why we write these things. It's certainly not for the glory or the trolling. Anthony

It seems that VGirish puts all his articles between < pre > tags so they get a nice yellow background :-D

Anthony, if you don't mind sharing could you tell me what these articles were? I am amazed that anything would be rejected at all. I haven't posted anything as everything seems to have already been done and I can't find something that would be useful to others that I can actually create with any real command.

I thought all articles went into the unedited category first? Cheers, Simon "Sign up for a chance to be among the first to experience the wrath of the gods.", Microsoft's home page (24/06/2002)

Chris and I used to get this all the time at CodeGuru and of course, Chris still gets it here. I personally don't think the "articles" are that bad. They just need to be edited such that the comments are moved into regular text so that there's something besides code. The editor then needs to add a few sentences here and there to "beef up the explanations" a bit. Not that big a deal. Probably would take about 15-20 minutes an article and these articles would be find a advertised - beginner-level tips. Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible

Several do have explanations, but they're embedded as comments. As an editor, I'd simply move the comments to the text. I don't think the "articles" are in that bad a shape. Trust me, I've had to edit MUCH worse. Cheers, Tom Archer Author - Inside C#, Visual C++.NET Bible
