   Can you guys look at my first article, please? I posted an article about the television show, EMPIRE. It was mostly from a press release that I got from FOX. http://hub.me/alYxV
   
   Your feedback would really be appreciated. Thanks.

      We can't see it because it's not published.
      
      However, as Natalie says, using recycled material from a press release is not a good idea.
      
      You describe yourself as a freelance writer, columnist and blogger, so surely you would know that original, well-researched writing is key to your success?
      
      I see you joined HubPages a couple of years ago, so if you haven't already done so, you might like to read some of the articles in the Learning Center. There's lots of information there that will help you.

   Hi and welcome to Hubpages!  Just a quick comment about what you posted - HP wants articles that are your own work and are something unique that isn't found elsewhere.  If you want to write something about Empire by all means do so but do it based on your opinions and views of the show as opposed to just rehashing a press release. 
   
   Also remember when asking for feedback, you need to post the link.  Good luck with your articles.  I hope you find HP a supportive environment for your writing.

         Still No joy. Try to relax. Fill out our profile and tweak the article a bit. I find it very relaxing.

            If you go back and re-edit, the hub goes to the back of the QAP queue. Once you've decided it's good enough to publish, leave it alone until the little gray arrow turns into a black H. It takes a little while.
            
            If it's not passed, you'll get an email, which will invite you to post to the forum for help.

   Your article is not currently published, perhaps because you are currently rewriting it.

   Is it still being looked over? When you publish an article it takes around 24 hours for the heads to look over it to see if it's a featured article. But at the moment I can't access it

   It is still saying that it is not published. Perhaps you are editing it? Please let us know when it is published so we can advise you better.

   Hi guys. Thank you for your suggestions. My article was taken down. I need to re-edit. I will be working on that throughout the day, today.
