my hub score just get up and down. my hubs suddenly become all duplicate. wow that's terrifying.

If you quote from another site, you can only use a couple of sentences and then link to the original. You can't quote whole paragraphs.

oh, wow - I thought you wanted to talk about your very small butt! I used to be that way too!

I just received an email from Hub pages accusing me of plagiarism. They have unpublished one of my hubs. That hub is entirely my own work based on my experience as a Master Gardener. I also work in a botanical garden. I have a TON of gardening knowledge that I am sharing on...

I recently published an article that was flagged as duplicate content and removed. How do I go about trying to figure out what portion is duplicated? It's a long article. Is it possible because I copied a portion of the previous article I wrote as a review of information that it was flagged?...
