Thank you, John for consolidating a quick checklist for beginners aspiring to have their content published onto a premier technology website. I would suggest, if these points are also updated/included as part of the Article Publishing Guidelines that Pete has prepared (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scrapbook/ForumGuidelines.aspx[^]), it would be reaching instead of as a forum post. The forum post might run off fast into the wild right? I admit that it is highly disgusting, nauseating and irritating see a broken language. People should learn the habit of using and referring dictionaries and cultivate an affection/love for it.

That is the lowest of the low. Further, you are correct: when I see the list of new articles I'm expecting that if the author has an asian name the chances are the article is poor. My apologies, that just does not sound right no matter how I phrase it: I'm not intending to show bias or prejudice, just pointing out an oft observed phenomenon.

I'm not saying this because I think *all* Indians are terrible at posting articles, but the majority of poorly written articles are, in fact, posted by Indians (or at least this has been the case since the moderation process has been put in place). I know, some of you are going to say I'm wasting my time posting this, but if I don't say what I'm thinking, I tend to get testy, acidic, and/or downright mean. With that out of the way, on with the show. 0) Please find someone that speaks fairly good English to help you with your article. I'm not at all interested in reading an article that includes a high number of punctuation errors, transposed words, incorrect words, and any number of other syntactic errors. I realize English is a difficult language to master, but this is an "English spoken here" website, and you would do well to conform to that standard. 1) Write an actual article to go with your code. Simply posting downloadable source code and having a few lines of text supporting poorly formatted code blocks is NOT an article. 2) Take the time to PREVIEW your article before submitting it. There's a Preview button there, and it takes just a minute or so to verify that your article looks right. 3) When you resize your images to fit within CodeProject limits, VERIFY that the image is still readable. 4) Do NOT re-submit your article if it doesn't immediately appear in the list of articles. There's a moderation process that all articles (posted by bronze/silver members) must go through before they are made available for consumption by the general CodeProject population. 5) Unless your article is relatively long, do not post links to other web sites where "a complete explanation is provided". I really do want to approve more articles than I do, but y'all are making it impossible for me to do. For all you VB programmers out there that are confused by my item numbering scheme, real languages (like C/C++) index lists and arrays starting at 0, so I figured I would extend that tradition to textual lists as well.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001Actually, the problem is that those morons who submit half-assed articles won't have the brains to understand anything of what you said. This will remain as an ongoing process, irrespective of any number of discussions like this, any number of guidelines, write-ups teaching "how to do" something. This applies for the crap-posts in the technical forums as well. You just can't stop them. At least with the new moderation system, we can block out crap articles and I'm happy with that.

I really need a machine-gun to shoot them down ruthlessly or at least I need a gas chamber to squeeze those involving in 'Credit Theft' and gag them to death. I really hate people who take credit of others' and suck their blood and hardwork worser than a leech. I am voting a '5' for you since you added a significant ethical perspective to it.

That is the reason, I have suggested that these points should be part of 'Article Submission Guidelines'. You may like to scroll a few threads up to read this.

Just tune to 'ASP.NET' forum to http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=12076&msg=2575031[^] for message entitled "How can i create an aspx page dynamically". There seems to be a virtual fight between two people there. Though not abusive, it is a kind of amateurish demonstration in the forums. ROTFL.

What does the length of the article have to do with it? The whole thing should be posted here - no links to other sites as those invariably get broken at some point. Cheers, Drew.

If it is really really lengthy, then we can have Part 1, Part 2 and similar splits. A few of the articles (one on Shell Extensions) follows this approach.
