RE: How To Verify A Private Posting Key Using Steem-Python
The content of the tutorial is too narrow and lacking instructiveness, you might improve the quality by covering larger subjects and providing greater details and explanations.
Instead of just simply giving the necessary code for something, focusing on teaching the concept in any of your future tutorials will significantly improve the quality.
While choosing the subject to cover, first you can research uniqueness and the need of the tutorial, instructions which can be found easily on the web or functions/features which are already well documented in the project documentation, don't really add value to the open source community.

Thank you for your feedback but I must wholeheartedly disagree. Nowhere online can you find instructions on how to use the the low level section of the steem.readthedocs.io to convert a private key to a public key. I had to read the source code to figure this out on my own. If you feel there is already sufficient documentation on this subject can you link to it? I specifically wrote this tutorial because I could find nothing equivalent online and wanted to provide further clarification on how to go about doing this. You state:
Can you please point out where I "give out the code" without explaining it? I state at the beginning of the tutorial that you should understand Python3 and the Steem-Python library, so I did not spend time in this tutorial explaining those things. Instead I "focused" entirely on the subject at hand: how to convert a private key to a public key and to compare it to the key provided by steemd. Can you please explain more explicitly how I did not accomplish this?
You state:
As I explained earlier, I wrote this specifically because I researched this and could not find a readily made tutorial to teach this concept. It took me hours to figure this out whereas the person to find my tutorial will only have to spend minutes. How is that not added value?
Furthermore, you speak of adding value yet you have made no contribution yourself. Instead it seems this comment you left on my hard work is cut and pasted, mostly because it lacks any specific reference to my work.
Look, I understand you guys are busy, but this really seems like a subjective judgment call made based on personal opinion rather than an informed and unbiased decision.
Before anything else, I must assure you that my comment is not copy-pasted. I never copy-paste my comments I only used to reference the rules. We no more directly reject and approve, and comment that way. And before I score your contribution, I asked the opinion of the community manager of the category, we both agreed on the decision.
About the uniqueness, I didn't check that if there is a tutorial explaining the exactly same concept. I assumed that, since relatively narrow/easy/minimalist tutorials are more likely to be found on the web easily.
But about the wording, you are absolutely right. It was not specific and clear enough. I honestly accept that I made it look like it has the general lacks the contributions in the category have, as I made it about being well-documented, and adding value part in my comment.
I really value giving detailed feedbacks and providing clarifications and suggestions in my reviews, you can check it out from my prior comments on other contributions.
And score of your contribution is not affected by any subjective calls, because our scoring system is working with a questionnaire which asks objective questions to the moderator and the resulting score is calculated by the algorithm.
To summarize, the comment was not clear but the my actual point I tried to clarify is that the content of the tutorial is too narrow or minimalist, which usually causes the explanation quality and volume to decrease. But in Utopian, we score the contributions and only high quality/scored contributions get upvoted, so volume of the content is important in the whole review process because categories like tutorials focus on teaching part in the content, if there is not much to teach/explain it naturally gets low score.
