   Hi Hubbers,
   
   I'd like some help with passing the Quality Assessment Process. The article has been on HubPages since 2012 and I update it regularly, letting readers know to check the links at the bottom (both are still active) for the latest info. When I made the usual update, for 2019, HubPages did not clear the article for publication. What could I have done wrong? Thanks!
   Here is my article: James Dean, Fairmount, Indiana: Star Trekking (must be signed in to view)

      Everything Alicia and Kendra have said, plus: If I were you I would disable ALL of the links when you first try to get it featured. I bet one or more are tripping the edit bots. Once you're featured, you can add them back in to see which ones are usable.

         I’m in the process of making new arrangements for the links that are clearly troubled and will certainly consider your suggestion for ALL the links because it makes sense. I truly appreciate your time and your help.

      Thank you, Hubbers! Great advice; I followed most of it and the article is featured again. It is inspiring to find people who support each other.

   Hi. I have a few ideas for you.
   
   Using multiple text capsules might be useful in organizing your article. Showing that you have permission to use the images would also be good.
   
   The bold print should be removed.
   
   Some of the time references need to be altered. Elizabeth Taylor died in 2011, which I don’t think should be classified as “recently,” as you say in your second sentence. Later, you say that “On September 30, 2012, there will be church services in Fairmount.”
   
   None of the three links in your artwork quiz work properly.

      Your ideas are terrific. Thank you for taking the time to examine the article so thoroughly and discovering updates and details that I missed. Much appreciated.

   I noticed the pictures and images are not the right sizes per the guidelines. The first picture is skewed.

   Yes, you're right. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and respond. Yet, it remains a mystery that the article has appeared on the site for 7 years with the same photos in the same sizes.

   There was a posting some time ago about the bring the quality of the articles to a new level. So, that is what you are experiencing.
