Submitting a new article
-
Hello, Disclaimer: I hope this is the right place to ask my questions; I didn't think this would quite fit in the lounge. I am interested in submitting an article to the CodeProject. I have just finished the article and I have a couple questions before I submit it. 1. How do I make sure that the article stays on the CodeProject and no one else copies my work and says it is their own? 2. In top of the article I have put in my email (Step #1). Will my email be visible for other people/spambots to see? Or is it only used by the admin, editors, etc. of CodeProject? 3. Is my biography hard-coded into the article, or does it change when I change my biography in my personal settings?

1. You own copyright on your article so anyone else trying to repost your article is braching copyright. 2. No one else will see your email. We're very careful about that. 3. Your bio is taken from your profile - it's not part of the article and is updated whenever you update your profile bio. cheers, Chris Maunder

There is a copyright notice at the bottom of the page. However, it has been known on the odd occasion for someone's article to appear somewhere else. Vigilant CP members will often report to the author if they saw the article somewhere else to help fight copyright infringement. (It's a great community here!) And something I've started to do is to write at the bottom of the article exactly where you will find authorised versions of the article. For example, at the bottom of my most recent article (http://www.codeproject.com/cs/database/SqlInjectionAttacks.asp[^]) is a separate copyright notice and a list of sites where you will find the article. In this case it is here on Code Project, Scottish Developers and my blog. So, if a CP member recognises my work somewhere else they can see if I intended to publish it there or not. Also, If I ever want to do anything with an article I find on Code Project I always ask the author permission through the article's message board and I always attribute other's work.
