Re: Any Suggestions/Advice?
Hmm. No one picked up on what I felt was the problem, which has its roots in an unparallel comparison. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/623/01/ Walking . . . a stroll = not parallel. The first is a verb, the second is a noun. If you are walking, you might be strolling. If you take a walk, ...

Re: Moving eHow Articles
Elizabeth is right. In addition, I've noticed that when authors attempt to remove their articles from eHow, our checks still indicate that the article was published there - sans the original author's name. This means we wouldn't be able to accept the article anyway.
Thanks,

Re: What can I do to change my name ?
Actually, our FAQ indicates that the name on the original document must match the person's pen name or real name. Information about the previous instance of the publication may not appear in the short summary. I submitted an article to sell for usage rights only. My articles was rejected for origina...

Re: What does 'completely original content' mean?
The article must be attributed clearly on the page that it originally appears. If we can't make an exact match immediately, we can't accept the article.

Hi Debbi,
I try to forward all spam-eradicating ideas to Support. I agree that the time we spend blasting spam is too much.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Re: Resubmitting rejected articles by altering description
Your description stated that the article was appropriate for a 100 or 200 level course. The problem was with this particular statement. However, please note that we do not generally consider school/university assignments. Most customers want accessible information that appeals to a broad audience. O...

From our FAQ: I submitted an article to sell for usage rights only. My articles was rejected for originality, but I am the original author of the content.

Re: I need some help

Hi Writers, It was great to come back to the forum and see how helpful everyone has been. Thank you! Thanks, too, for your patience. We're working hard to get caught up and everything should be back to normal in the next few days. Except for a couple of problems on the back end, it seems that all we...

Thanks all! I forgot to mention a couple of things: The spam sometimes overruns the forums. To our volunteers - if it gets too much for you, please email Support and someone will help you.

Re: Subject-verb agreement, New York Times Approach
I prefer strict adherence. I think it's clearer, and many style guides/grammar guides agree. Constant Content is a site for writers. It is always looking for excellent writers. You can always write with the employees or executives of a company/university in mind. Purdue University's admission requir...
