Give it the style="display:none" attribute. CodeProject will still pick it up but your readers won't see it.

I was thinking to change it globally not locally to prevent those errors in the future

I see. In any case, this style attribute is the only way to avoid the CodeProject link to show up on the original blog page, so I'd say it makes sense to use it even if a global change system gets developed.

I agree. Thing is that CP robot (or whatever mechanism copies content of blog posts) removes display:hidden attribute (spam prevention maybe?). So yeah, you have to remember (specifically) to remove this link ones CP article is up.
This is way I added this question.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. It didn't happen when my blog posts were published, but perhaps that's something new then since my last post.

Last few weeks a lot of articles, tips, and blog posts have been approved even though they have obvious problems. This is not good for the site and not for authors of the articles. Instead, this for example results in low votes on articles which, when properly written and formatted, could be very good.
In my opinion we, as moderators, should try to both prevent unfinished material from being published and also to guide and inform the authors about the problems. As said, this would benefit us all.
When approving articles that are pending, along with the content, please also check:
- Is the formatting ok. Especially some blogs posts tend to suffer from formatting problems that leave critical parts of the text or code missing
- What have other moderators said. Has someone left a message to the author and what's being said in the message
- Have a look at the Spam and Abuse Watch. Is the article reported for example for plagiarism and so on.
I believe that working together with the fellow authors we achieve high-quality articles from which we can all learn.

If you hover with mouse over the solution you provided you should see a green link "Improve solution" inside the box containing your answer. Click that and it should let you edit your text.
Just tested with the solution you provided and as far as I can see, seems to work.

Thanks for your reply Mika.
I know how "Improve" works ... and you are right : it works. I think, I stumbled over the changed design - my mistake ... sorry

My question is how the "Needs help" reports are handled on pending and published articles.
Are these reports inspected in some way?
Does the author get a feedback about the reports (I never got one but that may be due to missing reports)?
It happens frequently that articles get approved after I (and others according to the displayed count) have reported an article.
In such cases I'm often reporting the published article again because the moderation reports did not count anymore.
But I did not see if there is something happening (maybe because an editor is fixing the article and publishing it without moderation).
BTW:
How about an additional Report option with copyright issues (for images)?
The current handling of reporting those articles as "Format / layout issues" does not prevent articles from being published while a report might do so.

To my knowledge a "Needs help" report doesn't disappear after an article is approved by the community. So there are two ways this report gets addressed:
a) An editor catches the report before an article is approved and makes the change to the article either while in pending status or in the process of approving it.
b) I go through all reports and eventually come across it and address it.
I think a report for copyright images would be a good idea. In the meantime, please feel free to email me any you spot.

Thank you for your answer Sean. So you and other editors are handling it.
Quote: To my knowledge a "Needs help" report doesn't disappear after an article is approved by the community. This might be true but the feedback implies it is not so:
I have reported a pending article for offsite images not being the first one (the report count was greater than one). When reporting the meanwhile approved article later, the report count showed "1". Such happened more than once.
|
|
|
|

Then I think we should ensure that so when an article is approved by the community and not an editor those reports stay.

Starrydb new memory database - CodeProject[^]
Reaons why I am unsure,
1. It is a article / code dump about a memory database that he has appears to have created
2. there is a link in there to his own blog as a title in the article.
3. there is little discussion about the database product.
should it be marked as spam? or needs more work?
Thanks

Thanks for the report. I've removed the article and asked the author to do more code sharing and less tool sharing to get it back.
