Some time ago I published a hub titled Judge Hatch which I was told I could not do because it?

In this case there was no problem of somebody elses content. The problem was with material that I had used previously. However, the "duplicate" warniang is not longer there.

I don't know why. However, I think thes tory was differnt enough to satisfy the requirement of being original.

Have you tried adjusting the title. Just thinking out loud! Hope you get it sorted...

It appears to happen a lot. I have made numerous orginal Hubs that I was told was a Duplicate. I figured out that if a particular subject has a certain number of hubs already written on that subject it is flagged (in the system) as duplicate.

I finally got tired of this occurrence and started writing on Squidoo. I simply take my current hub and duplicate the information onto Squidoo and then delete the hub. This way I am happy that what I wanted to write is out there and Hubpages is happy because they no longer have to deal with my supposedly duplicate hub!

I earn money on my article no matter where I need to publish it! Hope this helps!

If you directly quote you need to do this. I have seen countless hubs where the writer is not giving credit for sources and they get flagged. Also your hubs are supposed to be yours.

Your thoughts, your ideas on those sources and their information, your response to those sources. And if you have additional information to add to those sources all the better. Keywords do play a part in articles, as the other answer suggested.

If a particular phrase is used too often it does get noticed, so you might just change your wording. You probably know all of this, so I am just shooting off my mouth. But this is important for all writers to note.

I hope you work your way around it so we can continue to read your articles..

One of my hubs is marked as a duplicate. I have no idea why. It's original material but it is historical data too.

Maybe somewhere there is something similar but I can't do anything to change history, the events, nor the dates. It is what it is. So I have just ignored the duplicate tag.

Dates and events can't be changed and the hub is getting visits and rising in score. I know I put the material together and it was a lot of work. I can live with that.

Dahoglund - Sometimes the "original" that you had posted and had asked to be deleted may not yet be deleted (up, down, and sideways). I have deleted some articles and have noticed that it may take a day, maybe more to rid them from the list. There may be a copy that is archived in case I change my mind.

Of that I do not really know, but all things are possible. Once the first of them is gone, all should be OK.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
