Needs Improvement
This article is unpublished because it did not receive high enough ratings to meet HubPages' quality standards or because it contains spammy elements. It will remain unpublished until it is edited, published again, and rated high enough to be Featured. To see our rating criteria, please visit our official rating scale (we recommend shooting for criteria matching articles rated eight or above).
"Spammy elements" always refers to links that you've made to other websites. Always.
Looking at what you've already published, it's possible it didn't meet the quality standards because it was too short.
If you take another look at the email, it should have a link you can post here so we can see it, even though it isn't public.
Thanks, Marissa I never had any links on the article. I did update it, but that was rejected. Are the 700 words compulsory? Do I have to add 160 words to make it acceptable?.
What happened to the "A picture is worth a thousand words"?
Do they want me to write stuff like "It was a clod cloudy morning as I approached the Twombley"?
Is this the link?

That's a weird url too. What's with the gobbledegook numbers? Before publishing, you can edit the url to be search engine friendly. Once you've published, you can't alter it.
Article feedback:
You don't have to indulge in flowery, creative writing but an introduction wouldn't go amiss.
Your intro is a chance to capture your reader and keep them reading. Your article starts with 'Some specifications'. It's not exactly riveting. You need to tell the reader what the article is about. You don't mention 'cyclecar' until almost to the end of the article.
The specifications should come after the general information.
Make use of the subtitle boxes.
Good luck.
Go to Hubpages website AxleAddict https://axleaddict.com/ and look at the popular articles there. This is what you are trying to work up to.
Those pictures on your page are narrow and small. They are worth about 40 words, at best.
(edit: your article is not spammy, just short)
Thanks DrMark1961 profile image95DrMark1961.
I am not very intuitive when it comes to the internet. I did manage to add a few words (very few) and I did arrange two narrow images into a combined one.
I suspect my problem is I tend to write about what I like. (I have never really worked out what others like)

Nothing wrong with writing about your passions, just make sure it is readable

You've posted a permalink that has spaces in it. You can't have spaces in a permalink.
Anyway, I would make the permalink "hubpages.com/autos/TwomblyCyclecar" and leave it at that. Your URL (permalink) should always be a simple reflection of your subject, and the shorter the better.
The easiest way to do it is, give your article the short title when you first create the article - then you can change it to a longer title once you're in "Edit" mode.
Once you have published an article, you can't change the URL. If you want to change the URL, you need to delete the article altogether.
It makes a BIG difference when you write about what you like and know about. Readers can tell and they appreciate your articles more. The only problem I see, as theraggededge points out, is that you need to make your readers interested in the subject by writing an introduction that "grabs them", makes them want to read more. It does not need to be flowery, none of mine are, but it does need to grab some attention and make them want to stay and read the whole thing.
Check out this thread. Your article would be a lot more reader-friendly if it followed the guidelines she sets out here. https://hubpages.com/community/forum/34 … ost4135943
I would recommend keeping the "specifications", but it should be a separate capsule entitled "Twombley Specifications". At the bottom of the article you should include a reference capsule with some links to other sites that have information about this vehicle.
I have removed the article and have added to it. attempted to re-list it. . . Now I cannot even get a title. (spent over an hour on getting the title to work) I am just about ready to call HubPages a total waste of effort.
I don’t know if this is related to your problem, but it may be. When we change our mind about publishing an article that we’ve started and press the delete button, the URL stays in the HubPages system for twenty-four hours. If you tried to create a new article with the same URL as the deleted one before the twenty-four hours were up, the system wouldn’t let you.

Lately, I have had 11 hubs unfeatured due to Quality Issues. I have assured my hubs do not contain grammatical or spelling errors. I have included relevant video and changed the titles and added new supporting texts and all this to no avail. The HubPages Staff continues to deem my hubs do not...

Hola Amigos,Honestly speaking, I am a bit frustrated with the Hub standards of rating an article. I have enlisted three links below. The first two being in the skincare, medical field. Since they are in the medical field, I added a references capsule for the same. The third being in the home...

Why has hubpage unpublished my already featured article? This is incomprehensible to me. It seems like there are lapses in the hubpages publication policy and system. The article has been cleared earlier at the quality is suddenly being uncleared now. Quite ridiculous and spammy of hubpages team.
