   Hi Hubbers,
   I submitted an article on June 18, 2024, but its status still shows as "Pending" even after 8 days. I'm concerned about the delay and would appreciate any guidance on what might be causing the holdup or an estimate of how long it typically takes for articles to be reviewed.
   Thanks in advance for your help!

   Hi there,
   
   I can see your article: https://hubpages.com/entertainment/posi … cial-media
   
   There are several issues with it that I can see.
   
   Firstly it reads like a personal blog post. HubPages wants informative magazine-style articles. Ones that answer possible search queries. So I'd suggest making it a little bit more formal rather than a personal opinion. You can still include an anecdotal paragraph.
   
   You've put it in the 'entertainment' category, which is for things like TV and movies. Perhaps move it to a more suitable one.
   
   Your images aren't credited. It's really important to know how to use images here because HubPages is a collection of commercial sites.

   After you have read that, spend some time reading the other articles in the Learning Center. The style guide is very helpful.
   
   Remove that link in the first paragraph, it isn't necessary and you don't want to be sending people off your page like that. However, you can add properly researched references at the end of the piece.
   
   Get rid of the bottom image. HP discourages images with text on them. Use something more appropriate and move it up the page.
   
   Good luck.

      You can't. You need to edit and improve the article until it is featured. Use the information in the Learning Center and read the articles on the network sites to see how a good article is written and formatted.
