Constant Content

Thanks for your reply and I can see from the examples you gave why my article was considered dated. However, I am confident that the article, which was sports related, would be of interest to certain buyers. I referred to league positions, and these will almost certainly change, but the key focus of...

One of my articles was recently rejected for being newsy, and I was told not to re-submit because newsy articles are not accepted. Yet today's requests include the following: SEO newsy articles (news related only) On this topic, what exactly constitutes a newsy article? The one I submitted referred ...

You risk getting suspended if you keep repeating the same errors, which is almost guaranteed if you do not proofread. You should always run your spellcheck as well - that would have caught "selfsustaining."

In what context did you use "livestock" and "stock"?

I think it would be best for you to install TNR. This link shows how to do it in Ubuntu. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-install-microsoft-core-fonts-in-ubuntu-linux/ Also, if the feedback is only about the formatting does that mean the content was probably good enough? Or does it not mean anyth...

Apart from the other errors already indicated: Guidelines say avoid using "one". First you use "one", then it becomes "your", and finally "I". Guidelines say avoid 1st person POV. momentum.Your - should be a space after the period. I drop the lemon in the garb...

A 60% approval rate is required to be eligible for Writer Pools. It would be frustrating to fall below 60% when a rejection was based on an editor's misunderstanding. That's why I think it's important that CC should have a mechanism for reversing an editorial decision and the consequent hit on the w...

The standards at CC are incredibly high. Your article is riddled with errors, poor construction and meaningless phrases. I would suggest that you are unlikely to ever reach the required standard for CC, and think you should take iammyownboss's advice and concentrate on other sites. Please don't take...

As I understand it, the problem with doing it that way is that the initial rejection will count against you in your writer stats.

Hi Celeste, Thanks for your comprehensive reply. I had already resubmitted with your first recommended alternative, and the article has now been accepted. In Britain and Ireland, "low cloud" is synonymous with "low cloud cover" and, I think, most often used, with "cloud"...

Wondering about whether or not it's a regional expression, I just did a quick search and here are just two examples from first page. The Uni of Washington in Seattle published this: "Subtropical Low Cloud Response to a Warmer Climate...". The Marine Meteorology Division at NRL in Californi...

Thanks for the reply. I think it's clear that "low cloud" means low cloud cover, and that the expression is in common usage e.g. "The trip was abandoned because of low cloud". I believe "cover" is redundant, and I think it's highly unlikely that the average reader would...

Just wondering if it is a waste of time to use the Reply option when I receive a rejection notice. This was the suggested change: "Yet others have suffered because fog, or snow, or [a] low cloud has disorientated them. " In my opinion, the editor is wrong, and changing the sentence as advi...

Hi iammyownboss,

Thanks for the excellent explanation - crystal clear.

Makes me wonder why Writer Stats are not available for ALL writers.

Hi Evelyn, Thanks for the reply. I cannot see a writer's stats option, so I have to continue working in the dark (too much of CC is clouded in mystery), not knowing my percentage acceptance rate. With regard to getting edit-free submissions, right now that looks a bit optimistic. Some editing reject...
