"Duplicate"
I sign in and see one of my hubs is a "Duplicate" I know its a big topic because its the new Resident Evil Revelations game and I checked on 3 sites and it said there are no plagiarism on my content? any help?
They are telling you that it is duplicate content. There is somewhere else on the net that has the same exact content that you have written. This can happen a lot if you are writing about a very popular topic. I wrote a hub about the Titanic, and no matter how I changed it up, it kept saying "duplicate". I just took it down.
Try changing the wording of your hub to see if that helps.
There should be a link in the warning to the "duplicated" copy.
Also, "duplicate" does not always mean plagiarism. It might be that you posted something on another site that was the same or similar.

This sounds stupid, but there are no stupid questions, right? In that spirit, if you publish a hub here first, can you re-publish it somewhere else without consequence? I mean, will HP consider it duplicate content?
