      Is it the baby one? I can still see it on your profile, so it's featured.

   Did you get an email about it from Hubpages?
   When I read this article the other day I was wondering about all of the images you used. Did you have permission? I am not sure if that would cause them to unpublish or not, but it certainly will keep your article from being moved to a  niche site.

      Oh yes, I just noticed there's one taken from the Mayo Clinic which is clearly copyrighted.
      https://hubpageshelp.com/content/Learni … -image-use
      
      I don't remember seeing those images the last time I looked at this.
      
      Looks like a lot of questionable generic comments on there too. That won't help either.

         Do share about the generic questions that pop up in your mind so i can clarify it and improve my article further.

      HP does say they do not look into copyright issues with images. So a hub with stolen images can be moved to a niche site. Just bad quality images and watermarked images are a no-go.

         Thanku lobobrandon for this info. My hub is not moved yet because it needs further improvement in sense of content.

      Dr mark there was no obligation to the pictures i uesd. Further my article is totally medical knowledge based so i have defined things in medical terms only(though simplest definition). I would really appreciate if you point out some other mistakes so that i can improve my article and get it moved to a niche site.

   Did you edit it? Anytime you edit an article they go through it again to confirm that it's okay.

      Thanks to all for your response. Actually it was my mistake i posted it somewhere else cause i read somewhere that, “your hub do what you want.” So I immediately deleted my article from other site and it got published again.

   Nevertheless, you cannot use images that are marked with copyright. Hubpages will penalize you.
   
   Additionally, if you have taken them from other sites, you may receive a demand for payment for unauthorized use.
   
   It's always a good idea for new hubbers to put the source and the actual licence on the images. So, for instance (I'm making this example up):
   
   Source: maryjane.flickr.com
   Caption: whatever this picture is about. Republished under a Creative Commons license (CC BY 4.0)
   
   After a while, you become adept at using images legally and properly, so I often just add the source to one (unless required to do so by the image owner).
