   Appearing on the slider simply means it is published. Published items would be removed if they don't pass quality test.

   True. People who follow you can see it throughout on their feed before it passes the QAP. On slider, however, it plays hide and seek. Ah, the quality!! :-D

   I feel sorry for you Burhan, but it won't clear unless you meet the HP standards.
   
   Theraggededge, Rupert, Jeremy, Nate, myself and others have guided you plenty. I haven't seen any other Hubber(s) being helped so much.
   
   Because your article has potential and your writing needs some polishing, we went to our Lengths to help you.
   
   The problem with you now is, you want us to spell all the errors.
   
   We have given you hints, advice, links, spotted some, sorry, many mistakes and yet you seek detailed help.
   
   Your punctuation is still messy. You haven't learned yet when to use semicolon (even when helpful resources are available online). You have spacing issues for using (brackets). Your sentences do not connect to one another coherently.
   
   All these have been told. Why not work on it?  Buckle up boy. Take a break.
   
   P.S: That zombie photo you recently put is totally irrelevant and I believe it's not good for the hub.
   
   It's the writing dude. WRITING!

   pen promulgatesposted 6 years ago

   Passing is not related to Hubscore. Article(s) when pass the QAP has a low score. It's only later it increases/decreases as per traffic and other conditions. How much did your wasp article score?

    But the question is on the rating page in shows that hub is rated regarding it's quality, so hub score does not mean anything?

       No, scores do not mean much.   They certainly don't help your Hubs become successful.

       It's irrelevant.  Ignore the scores, they don't matter.   What matters is whether your Hubs are Featured or not.

    @ Burhan, true. Don't let all these get into your head. Focus on getting the article featured. When you have your first published article, you will have learnt much about the standards.
    
    I know you have submitted two articles so far, and both haven't cleared the QAP.  Write on some other topic, keep it around 1000 words and more. You know rest of the important guidelines. Keep your writing clear and simple. Avoid complex and compound sentences as you are a little weak in their construction.
    
    Sometimes, putting head in one article blocks our thinking and spreads negativity. Leave it be and look at it after a week or so.

    I did read it. Honestly, wasp's was much better, but it had its own issues. I read the bee one half and lost interest. Maybe I am not the ideal audience for that.

    There is no irony. The article didn't have flaws, so it got featured. Now you may have a little idea how qap works. Frame your articles accordingly.

       But why?
       
       Why don't you write an article with your own material, or focus on a topic that requires more input from you? There's nothing wrong with gathering information from various sources, and then putting together a useful piece of writing. But there is no point rewriting other people's work. You won't get the traffic.
       
       You might also lose your HubPages account as what you are doing is close to plagiarism.
       
       One tip is to read all you can about a topic, then write the article without going back to the source material. You have to put something of yourself into it.
       
       This happens a lot here. New HP members don't think they can write their own material, so they rewrite other people's.
       
       My very first article for Squidoo (a little like HubPages) was about home-schooling and my approach for my children. It was personal and it was unique, because no-one else experienced it the way we did. I wrote a few more like that and then pretty soon, I learned how to research a topic and write unique content. That's what you have to do - start off with what you know and build on your work.
       
       Write about an experience you had once and what you learned from it.
       Write about something you like to do.
       Write about your spiritual path.
       Write about an issue you've had to deal with.
       Write about your schooling/education.
       Write about your locality.
       Write about someone wise in your family.
       Write about local superstitions.
       Write about some unusual food or tradition.
       Write about something that you are an expert on.
       
       And don't use Wikipedia, unless you need to look up a date or a reference

    @ Burhan,  you mean the moderator is working on the entire article? As far as I know, they only fix issues like title and links, and Amazon capsules . They don't work on the content. What has hubpro informed you?
