You mentioned or you have mentioned in article

Hello everybody,

When you write an article or reply to an article do you write: as it has been mentioned.... you have mentioned (before).... it has been noticed before.... (present perfect) or you write: as it was mentioned... you mentioned (before)... it was noticed before...

Thanks

You have chosen unfortunate phrases, since those are mostly poor style in whatever verb form. Stick to simple, active voice, and we generally use simple present when referring to another recent writing: The article mentions The author states in his article The author notices
