Need help passing the QAP

   So here is the article that is not featured because of "spammy elements" which I feel I removed myself already (I had excessively long lore videos).: https://hubpages.com/games-hobbies/Warh … aking-Part
   
   All the sources are relevant, everything is in its place as far as I can tell, minus the spam-worthy videos of excessive length. Any suggestions as to what I'm missing? Do I need to unpublish and republish?

      Do you have permission to use the photos?  HubPages only allows Creative Commons licensed photos or photos taken by authors.  You can't just help yourself to photos from websites.  That is considered theft and is illegal.  If you have permission from the website to use the photos, then you must state that.

         I have been assured that all the photos are for use within the public domain, as every single one is sourced from a public domain provider. I linked back to where I found it originally, however, just to avoid any conflict that may arise, though I don't see why any would.
         
         Thanks for the feedback!

            Deviantart is not a public domain image provider
            
            And they will unpublish hubs using copyright images, but generally only if someone complains

               The owner of the image claims it is there for the taking, so long as they get credit for it. Perhaps I am confused as to what makes something public domain and/or free to use.

         The weird thing is that HP actually says that they do not check image rights and the only condition is that the images are not pixelated.

            Probably because they're based in California, and the laws exclude them from liability as it concerns what people post. The only exception is if they are in direct violation of the law after a crime has been reported to them, if they are aware of a crime they are obligated to address it.
            
            Unless I'm mistaken about their server locale.

                  HP needs to be more copyright friendly and more aware of copyright issues on a glo bal basis.

   I can say with near certainty that the video length was not an issue. If it was the problem would have been solved. I feel it is the many amazon links in a relatively short article.

      Unfortunate, I thought that despite missing about 180 words it wouldn't matter if all the links were relevant. I killed the least useful and relevant one, people could find it on their own anyways. Thank you!
