Hub stuck in the review queue

   I've had a hub stuck in the Exemplore queue for over a week and I'd really like to add more content to it. However, I can't while it's under review. I made the changes requested and resubmitted. Can a staffer push it along for me, please?

      I was informed by Robin that articles in the queue can be there for up to a year and that we are no longer able to request editors to move our work faster. If you were asked to do revisions you can do them and resubmit as you have done, but that doesn't guarantee it will be moved any faster.
      
      I don't have experience with the exemplore site, but I've been waiting for two articles to be moved from two different sites. One has been waiting going on almost 5 months and the other has been waiting for almost 2 weeks now. It's rather frustrating, but from my experience this is the way things are going to go from here on out.
      
      Is your article locked? I don't have experience with this, but would hope the editing staff would not keep articles locked for more than a week at a time. That would only slow our progress further.

   The only time I've had articles 'locked' were the two times I tried to edit a thing which was being edited by one of the editors at the time. When I'd attempt to edit, I would get something like a '404 page not found' notice.
   
   So it would appear from what has been stated and from my reference of experience that, if you can not edit, it is because your thing is, in fact, being edited at this time. This would seem to be good news for you.

      I feel like a lot of my hubs are "locked" for long periods as well. I was not aware the process changed. I have a new hub l wrote about 3 weeks ago, and thought it was worthy of. Exemplore.com. I didn't submit it since it was newly published, as usually my hubs are moved within a few days. I finally wrote in. It was being held over one word in the title that was a style issue, not incorrect, and in an article of over 4,000 words, I felt the editor was nit picking. I'm trying to get along, but am not happy with the time frames, although it was finally on the niche today.
      
      Then I had two more hubs, older ones I submitted to niches myself. One was to Owlcation.com, and one was ReelRundown.com. One was also moved today, but the Owlcation one has a message I have to wait three days. I think I submitted them both in May, but it is already the 18th. And I'm not positive, I could swear I submitted one in April. It's part of a series which is doing well.
      
      Aren't we allowed to submit 2 hubs a month? The first one was newly published, I didn't submit it, but did think it deserved to be on a niche so inquired about it, in what I admit was a rather annoyed email. It's been so long I can't recall exactly when I tried to move two older hubs to two different niches, but it feels like both were also sitting for weeks untouched, until one went to ReelRundown today.
      
      So we can submit two a month, but the staff can move older ones any time if they are brought up to speed if they want to, correct? I feel increasingly frustrated by the long waits. I had a large body of hubs and just want to either get them moved or delete them, although all of my hubs are featured. I have trouble writing new articles when I am waiting for the outcomes of the older ones. I just want to move on, and have hubs on HP yet that I have fixed and think are good enough for niche sites.
      
      Is the administration just not moving anymore of our older hubs anymore? I'd like to know because I can't think of how to improve most of them any further, I spent most of last month doing the best I could. I would delete them and move on. They keep hiring new editors, what are they doing?
