Article rejection

[Voyager]

My first article on George Foreman Rotisseries was rejected as not meeting the standards of CC. Any pointers as to what I should have done differently, would be appreciated. I would like to correct and resubmit my article.

What was the reason given in the rejection notice? Format, grammar, clarity, etc.?

[Voyager]

It says "Article did not follow our guidelines". Nothing else. I checked for format and grammar and it seems fine.
