Article Quality Question: Writing from the 1st person perspective

Hi guys,
Hope that you all had a good festive break. I've got a question for any of the TechNet Quality control group when they're around. It's relating to article perspective.
I've started an article series regarding CodePlex products for SharePoint (on this
link) and have in the past removed any first person perspectives as to make it as general as possible. It later struck me that this is somewhat misaligned as any review article is going to be viewed through the experience of the guy playing with the
goods.
So, whilst I appreciate that the TechNet wiki is mostly full of technical How to do and best practice guides, I'm wanting to add a different type of article to the wiki that can be referred too when people perhaps see that a CodePlex project doesn't have
a great deal of literature.
My question is, on that basis, would it be acceptable for me to write in a first person perspective just for these articles?
Many thanks,
Steven

Hi Richard
I've seem some wiki article authors use them, but that's only typically when the article has been rushed or not formatted properly. I'm not against removing it entirely but just wanted to check in.
Thanks for your response.

How can I download music, etc. to my Iphone 5 from my 2 previous Itunes accts.? When I download from one acct. and then try to download the items from my 2nd acct. I am told it will erase the items I downloaded from the 1st account......How can I get all

I have 2 Itunes accts. from previous Iphones. I now want to put the music, apps, etc onto my new phone from both accounts. When I sync one account to my new phone and try to sync the other items from my 2nd account - it wants to erase all of the items I synced from the 1st account. Please help! ????

There is no solution other than getting all of your content into a single iTunes library. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages with one computer/iTunes account at a time.

My emails from the same person are grouped together, how do I undo this so that each email stands on it's own?

1.My emails from the same person are grouped together, how do I undo this so that each email stands on it's own?
2.Currently my emails are grouped together if the subject is the same, how do I undo this?
3.My emails are "folded up", with tabs like "See more" - how do I undo this? - I want to see the full email at once without having to click multiple times in the email on "show more" etc.
4.When I send an email to some one, a copy of that email is sometimes sent to me?? - this confuses my and make me think I by accident sent it to myself, but when I check it in the SENT box, it the correct recipient's name was used. How to fix this mystery?
Please help, I am not good with computers so you will have to keep your answer simplictic or in steps.
Thanks!

the appletv will not display your movies in folders.
you could change the tags in itunes to include the genre in the "show" field in the "video" tab. this would replicate the view you want, but you will need to tag all your movies to do this.

I am unfamiliar with the recovery manager. Here are two guesses.
-- Is system profiler around? It will tell you your serial number.
Report system info
Blue apple > about this Mac
click on more info
click on hardware
You serial number will appear after Boot ROM. Do not copy hear.
--- The newer machines include a recovery partition. Perhaps looking around recovery manager would reveal something.

Looping the same answer from the 1st row in the table

I have a database with 3 tables: (1) employeeTable (2) cityTable (3)stateTable.
I reference the employee's city name and state code by each id number from the cityTable and stateTable.
My Employee table has about 10 records, 3 has an idcity and idstate input, the rest are blank.
(1st row) id 9 for Henderson, id 28 for NV (6th row) id 9 for Henderson, id 28 for NV, and (10th row) id 10 for Las Vegas, id 28 for NV
I run a query:
<cfquery datasource="dsnName" name="qEmployees">SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY lastName ASC</cfquery>
<cfquery datasource="dsnName" name="qState">SELECT code FROM states WHERE idstate=#qEmployees.idstate#</cfquery>
<cfquery datasource="dsnName" name="qCity">SELECT name FROM cities WHERE idcities=#qEmployees.idcity#</cfquery>
a run the table output:
<table>
    <cfoutput query="qEmployees">
    <tr>
        <td>#qEmployees.lastName#, #qEmployees.firstName#</td>
        <td>#qCity.name#</td>
        <td width="40">#qState.code#</td>
        <td width="60">#qEmployees.zipCode#</td>
    </tr>
     </cfoutput>
</table>
PROBLEM:
All 10 records output in the table as the same answer from the 1st row (Henderson, NV).
What's making this loop having the same answer from the 1st row and affects all the rows with blank info or different info?
I've been trying to figure this out for weeks and I hope the community can help me out. Thanks!

As Dan rightly says, take a look into table joins; there's no point just giving you the answer as you'll just get stuck next time and these forums are to help people rather than to do their jobs for them.
What you're looking to do is a relatively simple join, so you shouldn't have to read up for long before you've mastered them. Plus your site will be significantly more efficient

From one of my yahoo groups all the messages come thru appearing from the same person. Why is this?

I belong to several yahoo groups and use the filters to send them to their respective folders. Lately with one group, all the messages appear to be from the same person, which I know is not true from looking internally. I've looked on my providers site at my email, at at the groups site, they are that way so it's happening when it comes into Thunderbird. Running version 24.6.0.
Thanks Dwight from WI

They aren't in the address book. Anyway I went into the config editor and set something to false and it took care of the problem. Don't remember what it was. Something with "Show" in it.
Thanks for your time!

TS3899 I just switched to Iphone 5c from Blackberry...is there a way to jump from the 1st email listed to the bottom of the list (sometimes 300-400) without scrolling manually thru them all? Also is there a way to organize them by sender?

Well, I think I know why the rules are not working. The alias mailbox is being listed as another mail folder and not as an actual inbox so the rules are not being applied. While I wish the rules would work, I will continue to manually mark some of the emails as spam.
As for the second issue with emails vanishing, I am waiting to see if it happens again. I think it must happen when it is syncing the data but I am not sure that it happens all the time. Today the previous emails seem to be their and it grabbed the new email so I don't know what happened with the vanishing email. Anyway this can be closed since I believe the main issue has been solved as being a setup issue with Yahoo alias email account.

Contact your carrier and ask them.

I've set up an album in iPhotos; when I click on the slideshow it begins with the last photo. How do I get to run from the 1st photo like it use to?

If you're referring to the iPhoto application on a Mac then read Léonie's post in this topic and see if it might apply to your situation: iPhoto slideshow shown in reverse order: Apple Support Communities

I record some information to some slides but the presentation doesn't start from the 1st one but from the one I started the recording. What should I do?

I record some information to some slides but the presentation doesn't start from the 1st one but from the one I started the recording. What should I do?
Also, can I use music as backround to some of the slides, not to all of them as I'd like to play videos on the others?

I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

How to remove the question mark from the dock

How do I remove the question mark from the dock. Nothing I tried works.

What have you tried?
What happens when you click on it? Does a menu appear?
Would you provide a screen shot (SHIFT COMMAND 4).
Ciao.

So my phone a 4s is less than two years old, the speakers do not work, and it will not connect to wi-fi, so my question is on the 1st of august why should I re-up my contract and purchase a phone that taken care of did not last the distance of a contract?

Replying to all emails are always sent from the '1st' listed email

Whenever I reply to an emails, choosing 'reply to all', I then change the 'from' address from specifically list my hotmail.com email account, when the emails get to the recipients, it always shows as being sent from the 1st listed email address configured on the iphone (in my case it is my gmail.com email.
Someone sends me an email to my hotmail.com account. I click 'reply to all', or even 'forward', then click send, the email is received from my gmail.com email account. (I do not have anything setup between my hotmail/gmail accounts for the other (i.e. different 'reply to' addresses, etc..) on my iphone, nor within the actual email addresses either.
Even if I change the 'from' address to specifically say from my hotmail.com account, it always comes as showing from my gmail.com address.
This only occurs on my iphone. It does not occur when sending emails from outlook, nor hotmail's web-interface, so it must be an issue with the iphone configuration.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Van

Can we execute sequence not from the 1st frame to end?

I had a problem that I want to execute sequence not from the 1st frame but from the specific frame that I want to execute to the end. How can I do? Please help me.

Instead of using a sequence I suggest you use a state machine. By using a state machine you can begin anywhere you like.
For more information in regards to a state machine, see the following link:

Hope this helps.
