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

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

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)

I'd be rilly insulted if I went to the trouble of writing and posting an article and then to be told, "it's krap, rather don't bother again." Just my 2 cents worth of a troll.

Hi! Have you noticed that "VGirish" posted 11 unedited articles at once?!?!?! Have a look at the new articles list! -Dominik
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

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?
I think the articles answers some common newbie questions. Better formatting, some more article text and the addition of the 'beginner' keyword would make them really nice. Downrating them right now would just prevent the author from improving them. /moliate

Hi pals, First i would like to tell you that, I am NOT that stupid enough to keep posting small articles. Secondly, i didnt know that the posts would turn up in the first page itself which is why the commotion is all about. And i wonder why the guys are going up for everything ??? I know pretty well that if there is any bad post, chris and tom are going to get it removed. I've been an Elite member of codeguru.com for a long time and its not the first discussion board where i've been. I just wanted to join codeproject as a regular member too and see the response that i get from the guys here. I'm sorry to say that my first experience was not that good as i expected. Anything done here is NOT for any practical gains, its just that the editor wants to contribute something to the other people. And i think that the INTENTION rather than the CONTENT would have to be dealt with and not just start off a debate rather than doing something constructive. Thanks folks for this debate. I wanted to start off with beginner level entries bcoz i wanted to get a FEEL of this site before i start off with something serious. But, now, thanks to this debate, i've got my own reservations. All luck and have a great time pal. p.s. The next time, do something creative rather than discussion about tom,dick or harry. If u are still upset, better write some tutorials or articles yourself ( SOME GOOD ONES WHICH U WANT ) and post them for the knowledge of the public. :-O With warm regards, V.Girish

Sorry you didn't feel welcomed. Perhaps it would be better to post 1 or 2 articles at first to get your feet wet. Also, there is a standard format for articles. Yours don't completely comply. Some suggestions: Don't put the entire article in "pre" tags, just code segments. Don't exceed 600 pixels width or else the text will flow off the right edge. Clearly identify articles as Beginner. Use the article template that's available on the site. Don't give up. Ed BTW: The Nazi symbolism in the photo at the bottom of your home page may not be appreciated by some.

I don't see the value in all the debate here. I read through all 11 articles, and each one gives an example of how to do something I either have not tried yet, or tried a couple times and was completely baffled by. Now I've got 11 examples to draw on for hints about what I may be doing wrong. Thanks! Once these articles have gone through the edit cycle I'm sure they're going to be useful additions to the library of beginners articles. I spend a lot of time there, and appreciate every article.

It's all about first impressions. People are going to see your articles (probably after seeing all other articles), and the first thing they're going to notice is the format. It's WAY different from what's been posted here previously. Sure, the articles will eventually be edited, but until that happens (MONTHS, not days), people are gonna see the sub-standard articles. People want something easy to read and understand, along with sample sourse that is well commented that can be used to shore up what's missing in the narrative portions of your article. Technical merit is lost due to lack of sufficient narrative discussing what you're doing, why you needed to come up with the code, and any gotchas involved in using your technique. Many of us are quite busy and don't have the time to decipher the articles you've posted. I suggest that you go back and, one by one, revise the articles to make them more readable NOW instead of waiting for the CP gods to do it for you.
