I've written an FAQ on plagiarism to help authors understand what is plagiarism, as well as help members identify it. It is here: CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ[^]
If you find an article that is plagiarized you can either submit a report on the article itself, marking it as "Plagiarized," or you can report it in the Spam and Abuse Watch[^] forum with your evidence and a link to the members account, or you can email me directly sean@codeproject.com if you suspect plagiarism or have further plagiarism questions or concerns.
Thanks,

This forum is for any and all questions for Code Project Article Writing:
- Have a question about writing an article?
- Having trouble posting?
- Blog aggregation not working?
- Not sure about your article topic?
- Is your article still pending?
- Is there a crazy formatting problem in your article?
- Not sure how to update your article?
- Having problems with the submission wizard?
- Need help making a change to an existing article?
As a basic overview CodeProject articles have a certain layout to follow, so that users can learn the most from them. Each article attempts to answer the following questions: What problem does this solution solve? How does this help someone else? How does the code actually work? What is going on inside the code snippets?
Here is a submission from a first time author who did a terrific job, just to give you a basic overview of what a beginner article might look like:
Avoiding InvokeRequired[^]
You can take a look at our article FAQ series here:
Code Project Article FAQ[^]
For tips on writing articles, please see this article:
A Guide To Writing Articles For Code Project[^]
You can also see our submission guidelines here:

If it has to do with posting articles on Code Project, ask away. CodeProject staff and members are here to help.

Whether I install PyDev as a plugin or as a web address from which to download the libraries in Eclipse, it always gives me the usual problem when I try to implement a project in Python. I can create the outermost part of the project, but when I need to create an internal Package to then create a module in python it won't let me create the Package, in the dialog box and in the top box it won't accept any Project Name including the one I need to enter. Has anyone been able to solve this problem?

I'd post this question here:
Python Discussion Boards[^]
The Article Writing Discussion is all about the difficulties first-time authors seem to encounter documenting their code, including images, and becoming authorities in their field by publishing on Codeproject.

Sorry tatnto but I made a lot of noise for nothing. In the new Package dialog box I was selecting the entire name of the project while just clicking on the left arrowhead produced the following result:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GAL0PiGxbq8-IKITUFEgU-Rs0XGHaZ-2/view?usp=sharing And then I made the following steps:1)https://drive.google.com/file/d/197H4xquWyCuCbSg6nH9mahZ7wKMlq-5P/view?usp=sharing 2)https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pNBWhYmLS1zkFemrZklJ-zEL-NeWTl7Z/view?usp=sharing But there is one more important thing to say : Then to get it to work I had to download Python 3.12 from Microsoft Store and then go to Eclipse->Windows->Preferences->PyDev->Interpreter->Python and then remove the old Python.exe with the new by clicking new->first in PATH and paste the path to Python 3.12 downloaded with Microsoft Store. And then everything worked. The program ran correctly

I've got code which rotates a GIF by shear, which would make a nice tip or trick.
However someone else has also posted a article on rotating images by shear, which uses essentially the same underlying method, which is well-known and neither of us invented.
There are two differences. He categorises his code as a Microsoft Foundation Class code and presents it in a way that is MFC-dependent. Whilst I wrap my algorithm in a GIF-rotate program. And he applies only one shear whilst I apply two, to maintain the dimesions of a square image.
So is it to done thing to create or to hold off? I don't want to step on people's toes.

Thanks for your question. Nothing wrong with stepping on people's shoes when it comes to writing articles. If a topic gets covered to death and doesn't need to be written, that's the only crime and that doesn't sound like the case here.

If I were to write an article, how much time could I expect to spend writing it?
|
|
|
|
|
Well this depends on how long your article is and how much text you have to write.
A lot of useful info you will find in the Submission Guidelines[^]
Some important steps from my point of view:
- prepare your code (clean and format it)
- check your code for 3rd party sources which I always list in credits/references
- make a plan about the possible contents of the article and how many chapters it should have
- make some pictures (which can say more than thousand words)
- start writing chapter after chapter
- use the preview feature and check the output for errors, typos and formatting issues
- upload your code and include it to the article
- add the most important code parts to the related chapters
- preview and check it again
- loop until all chapters are ready
If the source code of your project is already finished, then I would say for an article which takes 8 or 10 minutes to read, the "producing of the article" may take between 2 and 4 days in total.

Thanks very much for your message. I'm sorry, but the article is unrecoverable. Did you submit it? Or could you otherwise reproduce the steps that lead to this?

Oh no ive been working a week on it. I submitted some hours ago and saved multiple drafts before. I am totally demotivated now to write anything else on this platform

You should download the article template and create it offline.

It appears on my list of tips/tricks, but when I try to click on it, I get a black background with the following text:

Ticket:
Error: An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed.
Abort, Retry, Fail?_
I uploaded the article the 17 May 2024, it's not a big deal to do it again, but I don't want to leave strange links in ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) house...
What should I do?
Thank you all in advance...

I'm afraid that page means that article is gone gone, and no one can recover it. I am very sorry.

No problem, I'll write it again then...
It was a super short tip... 
|
|
|
|
|

Thanks very much for asking. These aren't quite the kind of articles we're looking for at CodeProject. Tempting though, you're a great author ... The issue would be that less good authors would look at the style of article, and think it was OK to post their own.
Thanks,

In my latest Tip which was updated some hours before, there was a problem with the images.
Then I made another update and replaced 1 image and added 1 new image.
The preview was looking really good.
Then I clicked on publish.
But on viewing the new version, the images for the Context Menus are wrong again.
WPF DataGrid with RichText, RowDetails, Grouping, Filter and more![^]
Correct would be:
extracted-image-1.png => Context Menu of Data Grid
extracted-image-2.png => RichTextBoxFormatBar
|
|
|
|
|
So under the heading Context Menu, we're looking at the first two images there, correct?
If you refresh the page, do they look OK?
Also, when updating them, did you rename the image filenames?
Thanks,

Hi,
I did not name or rename any images.
I use the "paste from word" button to insert images to the article.
But today the released article is different to what I saw last night.
Update with F5 does not change anything.
TODAY the 1st image below Context Menu is OK.
The 2nd image below Context Menu (and below "The RichTextBox on the RowDetails has it's own ContextMenu.") is WRONG and could be removed
(but not deleted because it's the one that belongs to "RichTextBoxFormatBar" where it appears a 2nd time).
That could be the easiest way to fix that issue, if you can agree.

I think I understand. I've updated the article. Please let me know if all is well now.

If I make a neat tool that I think adds a lot of value for Visual Studio programmers, and that I do not want to charge people money for it --- rather, in order to make the world a better place, I just want to fling it out there, along with its source code and corresponding GitHub repo, would it be acceptable to write a The Code Project article about it, describing why I wrote it, its feature set, how to use it, and such?
