Good evening Hubpages!
I started a Hub today and mucked up the link editing, so deleted the Hub and started a new one with the exact same article title as the first attempt.
I shortened the address to that which I want, completed the article, then clicked "Publish".
I can see that the Delete on the first attempt is Pending, and this should take around 24 hours.
However, I received a message to tell me that my second (correct and complete) article can't be published because of Duplicate Content.
I also received an email.
Is this because of the pending Deleted article?
Most likely, it is the reason for the flag. I would email team@hubpages.com and let them know if it doesn't resolve by Monday.
Well no resolution yet, and the deleted article is still there with 48 hours now having passed since I deleted it. I have sent an email to the team, explaining the situation. Hopefully it can be resolved soon.
Please be patient. It is a holiday here in the US (Martin Luther King Day) so the staff may have the day off like most Americans.
Thank you, I live in the UK so didn't know it was a holiday weekend for the USA. I'd mailed today as Kenna recommended.
I've reviewed your article and published it. It will be featured soon!
Thanks so much Matt, really appreciate your help!
Pollyanna, You are welcome. It looks like someone is in the office because I just received a thumbs up on one of my niche articles.
Thank you, we can't hear tones when we read a post. I want to be clear that I'm just updating with the follow up that I posted today, rather than come over as being impatient!

I was reading a Hub on Hubpages, and was concerned to read the advice that the content we use in our Hubs should be unique, not something we've posted elsewhere on the net.I started out on Helium and have nearly 200 articles on that site. When I joined HubPages, I saw it as a great opportunity to...

I know hubpages prohibits writers from having duplicate content. My problem is understanding what that exactly means. I heard from many that it means writers can't publish content here that already exists elsewhere, but can publish here first and then publish it elsewhere. My concern is if I were...

The article in question was "Good Title and Caption Ideas for Content Creators". Here is the link to the unpublished page at least showing the url (https://discover.hubpages.com/technology/Caption-Ideas). I published this article on 2-21-22. There is usually a 1 day wait time for...

If I post an article on the site "Post any article" that has already appeared on Bubblews (an exact duplicate), will it affect the standing of my hubs with Google?

Can I post an article to ezinearticles which I have already published in hubpages?

I just got hit by a duplicate content unpublishing of one of my articles. For the record, it is my own work which I had originally published on another platform and wanted to relocate here. After deleting the article from the original site, I submitted a request with Google to have that deindexed...
