    Hi Hubbers,

    I'd like some help with passing the Quality Assessment Process. Will you please give feedback on my article? What can I do to improve? Thanks!

    I suspect the title and name of the central character have upset the delicate sensibilities of the software. "Oh Agnes. He wrote a rude word. The smelling salts, at once." I can't change Mr. Farto's name and think the injudicious use of asterisks would ruin the piece.
    Here is my article: The Life and Legend of Bum Farto

      I'd email the team to see what's up. Good luck!

      Very interesting article, Rupert.  I was amazed that Farto sold drugs from his favorite bench outside the fire station he captained.  And the fact that the CIA and DEA colluded with the Florida Mafia.  So…a human at HP actually elevated this to the “lofty heights of Discover.”

    I read thee article and enjoyed it, Rupert. Of course someone with the surname of “Farto”would attract the nickname “Bum.”

    An interesting character. I suppose you need an actual human to review it. I wonder if there are any around?

    It seems there is a human still at HubPages. The Life and Legend of Bum Farto has been elevated to the lofty heights of Discover.

    The article can now earn the vast quantities of money it is destined to collect.

      Congratulations Rupert!

      I enjoyed reading your article! Key West is a fascinating place with a fascinating history. I have visited there but spent most of my time exploring Hemingway's haunts.

      It seems unjust that you'll only get pennies for your work! What a world we live in!

    Would I have written this article if the central character had been call Jim Smith? Probably not.

    Thank you Patty for spreading the word. I'm in a dilemma about what to do with all the money that's going to come in from this article. Maybe I'll donate it to Kamala's election campaign. No, wait ...

      I am still getting text messages from the beleaguered democrats, Rupert. Her campaign could use the money, but that won't help them either. Oops, no politics.
