  Select the option "Adsense for feeds" while getting the Ad code and you won't get banned for displaying ads on feeds.

  HubPages may have some elitists but most of us are just here to write. I have found every level of writing here from highly skilled to casual writers. The judgmental attitude I'm seeing from hubbers against their fellow writers does much more damage to our site than anything a single writer could do. Maybe world of the wise collaborated with somebody or had a translator help him. If you wanted to go on a witch hunt, you could do much better than a second language writer.

Seriously, I cannot even fathom how HubPages could promote a score of 89 to a "writer" who has such horrific grammatical and spelling errors in the above few sentences.

Before you even consider "writing" anything else, please get a grasp of the English language.

Try this for example:

I placed some RSS feeds from Yahoo on my site. I have AdSense ads on the site. Somebody told me I may be penalized by Yahoo and AdSense since I am supposed to show ads on RSS feeds. I would like to know whether this is really true.

Is this what HubPages is about? If so, then HubPages is in serious need of an immediate overhaul in the methodology in which it calculates scores.

  Seems like you are spoiling for a fight - you have completely ignored the sound advice of other hubbers and decided to pick upon one small point. Why?
  
  Ultimately, there are a lot of Hubbers with ESL, and they produce some excellent and informative Hubs - if you want to start criticising and denigrating them, try Helium for size.
  
  You don't have to read their Hubs, so why are you bothered about the standard of English in a forum post?

  The who point is to write with some sense, no? Even if you are trying to pass information doesnt it need to be written correctly, at least to the best of your ability. Education is our respect for nature, those people who can write are more intersting to read. How you speak is how you write. I want my kids to be able to write and express their feelings, not to just a certain group but to all groups. hub pages are mainly for writers who spend their time on education and educating. Our kids need people like that in the world. Education is freedom, so is writing. We all should want to become better writters, and speakers and let our mind expand. Please exuse my spelling.

  HubPages is written in the English language. Therefore, it upsets me to see people struggling and attempting to write hubs on HubPages who have absolutely no command of the English language whatsoever.
  
  Furthermore, the attempted English in the aforementioned quoted sentences from "word of the wise" is an absolute atrocity.
  
  I am in no way a prejudice person; however, if one does not know how to put a period at the end of a sentence, spell or capitalize words correctly, etc., then one should not even bother attempting to write at all. After all, HubPages is all about writing.

  Here, "Hot Tub." Just FYI, 'printed' earlier by Ralph Deeds:
  
  Currently there are 7.5 million U.S. participants on HubPages and 6.3 million from other countries accroding to Quantcast.
  
  Here are the top countries according to Quantcast
  
  Country Uniques (Cookies) Uniques
  United States 8,101,784
  India 1,837,675
  United Kingdom 1,033,773
  Canada 772,356
  Philippines 372,712
  Australia 357,696
  Pakistan 196,030
  Malaysia 151,466
  UAR ... 149,816
  Singapore 126,896
  China 102,017
  Germany 101,196
  
  It's interesting that most of the top participant countries are former British colonies where English is spoken.
  
  HubPages is more "international" than most other similar sites although, as you said, much of the Hub and forum discussion content involves U.S. issues. Perhaps HubPages should consider establishing sections for countries or areas of the world such as the Middle East, Europe, Latin America. There is no reason why the 357,000 Australians could not establish an Australia forum or the Indians, an India Forum or grouping of hubs. It's worth noting, however, that there are a fair number of Hubs and discussions of issues such as global warming that are world issues, not U.S. issues.

In reply to the comment about grammar: Some of the hubers on here do not have English as there first language and I salute them for producing hubs in an alien form. When commenting in the forums this can come across in a negative way towards them. When they write their hubs they will have tools to help them spell check. Here on the forums my spelling can be awful and I am English as there is no spell check here. So I think we should be a little more understanding and with an author score as high as it is I am sure you are doing everything right as hubpages would not allow you such astatus.

Instead of making such comments in an overbearing tone, why not be helpful and offer constructive criticism?

  Does your wife speak fluent Greek Sufi? I had 7 years of hearing perfect mandarin, and I am awful. I would never attempt it for fear of bringing the house down.
  When I spoke Mandarin with an Australian accent in front of our Lord mayor and his friends at a party, I did so at the behest of a very honest friend who told me I sounded hilarious to him! Despite his honesty and my trust for him, I spoke. There was not a dry eye in the place! They were crying with laughter!

  Nope, her Greek is worse than mine! The problem is that I work very long hours and don't get out and about enough to practice. I can hold basic conversations, and most discussions turn into 'Greeklish.'
  
  Mind you, I have heard from many people that Greek is a strange language to learn - you spend a couple of years struggling to learn it and, suddenly, you find yourself speaking it!
  
  A few months ago, I went to the library and asked for the Greek dictionary. The guy pissed himself laughing and took me to the reference section - the 'dictionary' took up three and a half shelves. Too many words!

  Here is some friendly advice:
  
  english = "English"
  rss = "RSS"
  hub pages = "HubPages"
  ect = "etc"
  
  It is simply called proofreading your work and taking the time to learn the English language. Do some research as to how grammatical and/or spelling errors hurt your website. Also, take a look at how these types of errors make one look less credible and subject to less trust. There are THOUSANDS of articles all over the Internet and elsewhere!
  
  I am not a perfect person in any way and definitely do make mistakes. However, I do not condone laziness and sloppy work as an excuse for not knowing the English language.

  No, I did not. I know it is not "ect." As an abbreviaton, it needs a period at the end. If you are going to point a finger, and say someone made a mistke, you should make sure your correction, is correct. The original question, was not..."please pick on my grammar". It was for help with an RSS feed.
  If you are so big on rules, you should read the rules for forums.
  I can see a large grey box, right over there, to my left. It states.. "Please use the Forums in the spirit of community!"
  Most of us, here at Hub Pages, feel this is a friendly, helpful, community. I know, I have made plenty of mistakes, and greatly appreciate NOT having people jump down my throat. I am not picking a fight with you, I am out of here after this, but perhaps you would benefit from a slight attitude adjustment.

  HubTub: I think you mean to say you could NOT care less.
  It's weird how someone who cares about the English language can still manage to say something that makes no sense...
  I hope that if I ask a question in a forum later, I will not get attacked before somebody has a chance to help me out.
  That is not the type of community we want to have.

Quote from "World of The Wise"

world of the wise on HubPages

I am an Economics grad, every thing good makes me good. I have so far published 2 book and i am anything to anyone who is somebody to me. I have just set up a site <snipped> which i believe will be big big big soon.

My other sites include
<snipped>

I will be glad when you visit me

Sorry, but the above sites all look like AdSense In A Box.

Furthermore, I sincerely find it hard to believe, after perusing the aforementioned hubber's hubs and comparing them to the written bio from this same hubber, that these hubs were actually written by this hubber.

This is obviously nothing short of pure PLAGIARISM.

Interestingly enough, I just ran a couple of his hubs through my plagiarism detector and found no duplicates.

Making an unfounded accusation of plagiarism is extremely offensive - I suggest that you find some proof before you start throwing that accusation around. Maybe he is more careful with his writing on his Hubs than the forum. Perhaps he has an editor or employs a ghostwriter (both perfectly acceptable to Hubpages).

What he does in his own private blogs is his own business, and nothing to do with Hubpages - as long as he does not overpromote(and I see no evidence of that).

I have no idea what this particular hubber has done to deserve such vitriol. You are making extremely serious insinuations against a fellow Hubber and you have made this into a personal attack against his integrity.

Try reading Theresa McGurk's Hubs - there is a Hubber who can legitimately claim to use perfect English. She has far too much class to spend her time upon pedantic and spiteful attacks.

HubTub, not only did you insult world of the wise by criticizing his grammar, you compounded it by accusing him of plagiarism and posting his profile in this forum in a rather forensic, accusatory way, and put quotation marks around the word "writer" as if to say 'well, you are certainly not a real writer, buddy'...that is UNcool.

i don't pay attention to my grammar in my forum posts in the same way that i do when i write hubs. it's a more relaxed medium and it moves fast so who wants to do all this self-editing?

frankly i am insuted by your treatment of this hubber. so you're a medical transcriptionist - i don't think that qualifies you as the end-all-and-be-all expert on English grammar. you come across as really smug. i could be wrong, but i don't think that is the way to get people to read your hubs.

You realize if you were really secure in your own work, you wouldn't have an issue with these non native English speakers, etc. ...The proof of anything with writing is always in the work itself.

Sorry to jump in off of the original topic, but....

I gave that article checker a try and it doesn't seem very useful. One of my Hubs (100% original) got the following results:

Total Matched Phrases / Total Submitted 2% (1/43) 84% (36/43)

My Hub has not been indexed on Google, but it is on Yahoo, therefore the high percentage result. I tried searching just the text first and then by entering the URL. IMO, it would be more effective if it could recognize your URL and not compare to it when searching.

Sufidreamerposted 14 years ago
Exactly - that particular checker is designed for those wishing to check that they have not purchased articles that are copy and paste jobs.

Even without that, it is not proof of plagiarism - if you check my first few Hubpage articles, you will probably find 100%. They were already on ezine before I stumbled across this site - whilst HP penalizes duplicate content slightly, it is not against the TOS.......I really should find the time to rewrite those, one day. They are, however, my own work.

Finally, what is plagiarism? Unless somebody copy and pastes an article word for word, it is virtually impossible to prove. If somebody steals one of my articles, I will pursue them. If they spin it sufficiently, there is little that I can do and, to be honest, would not bother anyway.

Again, HubTub - you have questioned the integrity of a writer with no justification. You long since crossed the line

  As a medical transcriptionist, one must have an excellent command of the English language. Not only am I qualified to transcribe as a transcriptionist, I am also qualified to edit and proofread. I hope this answers your question.

  then you know very little about what it really means to be a professional editor and writer.
  
  i am not one to lord my profession over anyone or tell them how to write or conduct themselves. i could say a lot more about the differences between a medical transcriptionist's credentials vs. those of a professional writer and editor but you don't really want to go there, do you?
  
  so why don't you just lay off of world - he's not hurting you is he?
  
  "well-educated" is not a compound word and shouldn't be hyphenated. "well" is an adverb modifying the adjective "tempered".

  , I agree with you! why does he write hubs so well then spells worse than me lol something is wrong with the art frame. I would check him too if i was in your place. What about his score, you know what good writers know how to not only spell but communicate in a writers language i understand that completely, he obviously messed up because i don't see one reply by him pass me my glasses if iam wrong. I don't see why hub pages give him all this credit and iam not a jealous person just super honest. Does hub pages have a system to check copy writers. Some people write for pleasing their soul and get paid some people write just to get money and will stop at nothing. How can you not question a bad speller with such a high score come on now common seance nothing else. I will take writing classes you guys inspire me. Thanks for listening Good night.

  i have friends for whom English is a second language, but they are very well educated (more than I) and extremely bright and accomplished but because English is their second language, sometimes their writing or even their speaking is a little off. an ignorant person (one who doesn't know them from Adam) would just look at their writing or listen to their foreign accent and grammatical mistakes and assume they were an uneducated dimwit.
  
  that is what people are having a problem with.

  You guys amaze me. To all the elite writers: When i read your articles they make me smile. You all write very well. I admit iam in between languages and i need time to write the correct way. Look writing is an art, something that iam good in,(Art) maybe better than some of you. I was never a bully or a troll. Matter of fact, I love America just like i love the English language, iam not a good writer but iam trying. Basically don't jump at spelling mistakes if you want to help, Please!! offer other advice if you will. We all have feelings at the end of the day. When iam talking here to all of you i feel free and i don't stress spelling or grammar, because we are all in the same boat. so next time just offer advice not attack like a Rottweiler. Some regular people in here need to express them self's also with out fear. If you need an elite club i have some where you may want to go . Iam addressing all the best writers Please be nice we look up to some of you. I always disliked bullies and i know jui jit sue. lol How to get better in witting? How can kids become better writers? We have enough stress in the world, please America is built on the labor of immigrants they work and die everyday just so we have the elite system supported and keep it moving, i should know my parents are still working so some of you can go to private schools and get proper education. I got to deep in to this. Good night to all. with love Koma.

  Misha you have a long way to the elite your an alien lol. Just because you are a citizen now (maybe)!!!! gives you any right to say this funny remarks. Being Smart does not make you a complete person but i don't think you get that. Do you? Misha do you write articles in Russian too i would love to read some and get them checked and approved. lol Anyways i support and really admire some of the writers on hub pages including you misha. I still don't understand one thing, was it plagiarized( his articles)or not, i don't have time to read the whole tread. Maybe its not about the spelling shes ma about but she doesn't believe that he wrote all those articles i can understand that. We do need someone to check for plagiarism. I hope to only learn from some of you and hub pages Thanks for a great site. And all the best writers you know who you are keep teaching but softer please and not to much in your face action. Sorry for spamming i was really exited from my new hub. sorry misha my husband told me i do spam sometimes, i just talk a lot!! As you can see and this even comes out here ill watch it next time.

  I beg to differ on your opinion of my education. I am a very well-educated person. This is why I am very picky about grammar and spelling. There are more "grammar nazis" out there than you realize.
  
  The only embarrassment is the lack of being professional and not editing your work before it is submitted for final copy.

  I was thinking, Lita, as to what "HT" would think of a dyslexic. I'm perfectly horrified at her awful way with words as it is. Most dyslexic people I know don't advertise the fact that they have 'word trouble'. I shudder at the thought of the mauling they'd suffer, not to mention the knock to their confidence

  Good point, FD - knocking a dyslexic's confidence like that can set them back years.
  
  The same goes for ESL students. As you know only too well, when you are trying to master a second language, the last thing that you need is condescending criticism.

Sigh. I know from a good source (who will remain anonymous), that some hubbers on Hubpages pay others to write articles for them. Some very well known hubbers employ this tactic, too, .

So, moot point.

And nowhere does it say within the rules that duplicate content is not allowed.

However, I'm almost sure that mostly everyone knows that here, too, .
