   Hello Hubbers,
   
   I hope you're great. Could you pls review my article and give me your thoughts on how I should improve it to be featured? I've gone through it twice but am now stuck on what else to do.
   
   Here's the latest feedback I received:
   "This article is unpublished because it did not receive high enough ratings to meet HubPages' quality standards or because it contains spammy elements. It will remain unpublished until it is edited, published again, and rated high enough to be Featured.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)."
   
   Here's the article:

      The link is usually found in the email hubpages sent to the author.                                      Just send that link to us, and we will go through the article and help.

      I think you have too many links, something that will make most editors uncomfortable. You don't really need to link to so many sources, you can quote the resource. For example, "according to .... "
      
      Some of the links are to green solutions companies. For articles like this, academic, neutral, non commercial sources are preferred.
      
      You can also consider consolidating all these links at the end of your article. But again, links to neutral sources only.

   Hi Sylvie, we can't see it using that link because it isn't published. Check the notification, there should be another link you can use.

      Hi. I noticed two problems. You’ve repeated the title of the article, and the links under the photos don’t work.

   @Miebakagh57 Thanks for your insight. I'll go through the help pages again. I do have Grammarly premium and I ran it there first; but now that you mention it, I'll do it again after reviewing the article.
   
   Question: when you say I should include a reference, do you mean the way I'd have references at the end of a piece like in APA or what do you mean? The only "references" I included were the linked related content.
   
   Thanks a lot!

      Those anchor texts/links are great as a reference.                                      But Hubpages consider these as interrupting the flow of reading.                                  You should put them at the end of the conclusion in a text capsule in either arabic numerals 1, 2, 3, 4 or bullet points (+).                                                     Yea, don't you notice any suggestion from grammarly premium about changes in grammar, words, and sentences? Try implemdnting them. Thanks.
