Sometimes I have 100+ articles on approval and if I see they are in the wrong category I just delete them. 3)Summary too long. My site automatically inserts the summary into the meta tag description of the page of the article. If it is too long it messes the meta tag. A summary *by definition* is fairly short, three or four lines are accepted but two paragraphs are too many. 4) too many keywords into the keyword box. Again, they end up in the actual page meta tags and too many might get the page banned instead of being indexed. There are more, these being just the most important ones. It might all sound harsh but each article gets about 2 mins of my time regardless of content. So what if the content is the best on earth, if I spend 10 mins on adjusting an article, what do I then do with the other 99 waiting to be seen? I must share my time. Of course I seldom ban people so they can resubmit. I run an article website and there are more reasons for deleting articles.
