Rejection Reason

[dbvirago]

I had an article rejected for no sub-topic. There was no sub-topic that was relevent. A previous article I submitted was accepted without a sub-topic when there was none relevent. Any thoughts?

If your article was approved without having been placed in a topical subcategory, this was a mistake. Articles must always be placed in a topical subcat.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. In both cases, the articles were placed in appropriate sub-categories under Article. In the sub-sub category list, I didn't see anything I thought relevent. In the case of the one rejected, I resubmitted under another category as there were three categories where it might fit. So it ended up in Business/Internet Business rather than Internet with no sub, or Web Development/Marketing

If the article is rejected for no subcat, it means that the choice was dropped upon submission. I have been trying to work with Support to fix this problem, but until it is fixed, it is imperative that authors make sure their articles are placed in a subcat under "Articles" (it can be a general one). If the submission simply appears under "Articles," then it will not show up in a customer search. I know it's annoying, but for the reasons stated in the discussion I linked to, articles that show up under "Articles" will be rejected.

Thanks,

Thanks for your quick replies, but I'm still not communicating. My article was submitted under Articles > Internet. Under Articles > Internet, there was a 3rd level: Ebay, Fraud, and Shopping. Since none of those was relevent, I left it as Articles > Internet . It shows up that way with the subcat, under Your Content. The article was rejected for 'Please place your article in a topical subcategory upon submission.'

So either the article was rejected for the wrong reason, or the reviwer wanted a sub-sub-topic under Articles > Internet. If the latter, my question is what to do if a sub-sub category doesn't appear to be relevent. Either way, I'm confused.

Thanks again for getting back to me.

The submission showed as submitted under "Articles." No subcat. Not "Internet" or anything else. "Internet" would have been fine; you don't have to be any more specific. From what I can tell, what you seem to be indicating is that you saw one thing, and I saw another. (Please correct me if I've misinterpreted.) If this is the case, it is indeed a problem that I need to make sure Support is aware of.

Ahh, now we're on the same page. This is what I saw under Your Content.

Note, I have already resubbed this under > Articles > Business > Internet Business, so let me know if that is ok.

Super. Thanks for doing that, and for your patience. Now we'll see if I can adequately convey the problem to Support!
