Yes - do that one. I'd enjoy reading it, because my company does one heckuva lot with GIS, and mining information like this would be invaluable.

Anyone give me some information?

Normally you should have received an email detailing the reasons, any comments from article approvers, stating why they thought your article should be deleted. What was your article called?
|
|
|
|
|
I did not get any email. maybe my email is not confirmed.
It is so terrible
but now can i find the reason?
Maybe it will be useful for next article.
And I have confirmed my email now.
my article is http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/ScriptLoader.aspx

Ask your question in the Suggestions forum. The staff monitor that, and they should be able to help.

Why it was deleted: For any number of reasons, your article was considered to be crap by the people that viewed it in its pre-approval state.
Why No Comments: Many people, such as myself, do not leave comments on articles that they don't deem worthy to be submitted. A small subset of that group (such as myself) will only comment on an article if a) its a complete and utter waste of storage space, or b) the article is almost good enough to approve.
How To Make Your Article Suck
0) Improperly format your article. CodeProject's article wizard does its best to help you along in the process, but in the end, it's still up to you to use the Preview button before hitting the Submit button. Poor formatting is not tolerated at all.
1) Struggling with English. It's really too bad if you're not a native English speaker, but that does not absolve you of the responsibility of posting something the rest of us can read. If you have trouble with English, find someone that doesn't, and have them edit your article for you.
2) Don't put your code blocks inside <pre> tags. This royally screws up an articles appearance.
3) Don't explain the code in detail. We're not as interested in witty banter as much as we are interested in understanding how your code works.
4) Post a partially completed article. NEVER EVER sit down to post an article unless you're prepared to finish it in the same session.
5) Leave in parts of the boilerplate text that the article wizard provides you with by default.
Your article probably met one or more of the items above, thus qualifying it for big time sucking.

I am afraid no one will give you the code directly in forum. Please think about it before you asking.

I have material for several articles that I would like to post, currently in plain text. How do I put plain text into the same article format everyone here uses? (I'm new to this forum, and entitled to at least one dumb question)

This is a good start :-

Also, once you have it 'ready for presentation', if you ask nicely you may be able to get someone to do a proof before you post it - there is a mechanism in place for weeding out cr*p, but by getting a regular here to check your article first you'll avoid embarassment

For many years, I've had a problem controlling my weight, and given the sedentary nature of working as a developer in an office setting, it's really easy to get out of shape and turn into a "blob", of sorts. I was thinking about applying some of my programming skills to losing weight and posting the results here on CP as an article--but I'm not sure if that would qualify as a "programming" article. So anyway, here's my question--do you think something like that would be applicable on CP, or should I just leave something like this to my own blog?
