      Run a spell check, then proofread your posts by eye. Do you have more than two links to any one site? Read over the Hub rules and check your posts.

      I checked a cached version of one of your hubs, randomly chosen, followed by a duplicate to the same contents on Infobarrel:
      
      Hub title (cached): "Time To Let Them In………Palestine"
      
      http://www.infobarrel.com/Time_To_Let_Them_InPalestine_

         That's odd because none of his other hubs seemed copied, and that hub you linked wouldn't come up in the cache when I tried earlier. Kept saying 404 error, not found on this server.
         
         Maybe he reposted it himself?

            Thanks for your help, IzzyM.
            
            Both links work on my system. The link to the cached version may only work on the system that did the search, so I have removed the link.
            
            I found the Infobarrel article by Googling snippets of text from the cached hub: "Time To Let Them In………Palestine"
            
            I agree that he may have reposted it himself; not that I can see how that will help resolve the situation.

               I have deleted the hub and then reposted it on infobarrel. The article was able to pass a human review over there and yet it was deemed not good enough for Hubpages. As IzzyM ppointed out that the only problem with my hubs is spacing between commas and fullstops. That definitely didnot warrant such a strick action of putting all my hubs on need revision mode. Kindly help me out

                  To be honest, you are wasting your time on this forum. No one can see why your hubs are being held in moderation. Only the administrators know that, so you will have to contact them directly. The email address has been provided above.

   I had a look at your hubs in the cache and they seem perfect to me.
   
   Except you do seem to have a lot of spacing placed before commas and full stops which isn't correct. There should be no space.
   
   Were you using spinning software, or did you write them yourself? (sorry but have to ask)

      I write THEM myself I am not aware of any effective spinning software. Spacing between commas and full stops do not mean perfectly good hubs to be placed under revision  Does it? Is there anything else I can do ? Contact anyone to redress this obvious mistake Kindly help

         I'm not seeing anything else at all wrong with your hubs. They are excellently written and look almost professional except for the problem I mentioned already.
         
         I see also from the cache that you put 5 of them up inside 9 hours which seems fast.
         
         Then again, you could have had them already written on your hard drive.
         
         You will need to email the staff and ask them what is wrong, I'm afraid.

               Not that I know of. I hope you wrote them a nice email using your excellent English skills because they will soon see that you have a perfect command of the English language as you have shown here on this forum.
               It sounds like someone was trigger-happy the day they took your hubs down.
               
               Good luck and welcome to Hubpages

   If you open the hub in edit mode it should say at the top why it was unpublished.

      of late they aren't.I had written 9 hubs in a span of 3 months.Wrote my latest 10 days back and was surprised to see the needs revision remark.Made changes as i thought maybe i wrote it in a hurry and must have not done proper proof reading.Resubmitted twice,now wondering is it worthwhile writing here.

         You really need to insert one space after punctuation marks; at least in your hubs, or they are considered "substandard."

         Just took a lot at some of your hubs. Your content is good - if it can be understood. Essentially, your grammar is so bad as to make your hubs awkward to read. Perhaps that was the issue?

               She meant just a look was more than enough for her to decide my awful grammar and good content,anyway Did you mean that i need to insert a space after fullstops even.Could that be a reason for not publishing this hub?This is the first time i have faced this problem and am unable to figure out what is wrong in this hub.Have written this hub in a relaxed and casual manner rather than sticking to the typical textbook type of writing.Haven't been around for a while so did not follow the latest developments on Hubpages.Could you please go through my Hub http://snigdha-s.hubpages.com/hub/Hair- … ck-results and help me out with it.Your guidance is much appreciated.

   Snigdha, there definitely needs to be spaces after full stops; same with commas, semi-colons, colons, question-marks, exclamation points, parentheses, close-quotes. If someone flags a hub missing these spaces, the hub will most likely be unpublished as substandard.
   
   The link you gave me leads to a hub that is no longer published. But if you go over your punctuation marks, in hubs and even on your profile page, you will be doing both yourself and your readers a favor. Good luck!

      Thanks for your inputs. Have inserted spaces. I had deleted the hub yesterday, but it was restored after I edited it within 24 hrs. Have resubmitted it just now after making a few corrections. Indeed, there were no spaces after fullstops.

            Not yet, they are not so prompt. It takes a day or two. It is not one of my best hubs but definitely had good tips on hair loss treatments which i wanted to share.
