Dear abnaumukis,
Heads up! It looks like your Hub is not cleared for publication because it did not pass the Quality Assessment Process. No need to fret; every new Hubber goes through Boot Camp, and all you need to do is improve the Hub so that it meets our quality standards. To graduate from Boot Camp, you must publish at least five Featured Hubs.
For some background on HubPages' Quality Assessment Process, check out this extensive overview:

What does it take for a Hub to become Featured? Featured Hubs are thorough, detailed, and filled with high-quality, relevant media. They include concrete facts and figures, deep analysis, or thoughtful step-by-step instructions. They are grammatically sound. They appeal to a niche audience, but can impress just about anyone. They are beautiful and read more like magazine articles than personal blog entries. With a few changes, any Hub can be transformed into a work of art. Don't believe us? Take a look at what a makeover can do:

Hubs that exhibit the following criteria are more likely to be Featured on HubPages:
- Complete and in-depth coverage of their subject area.
- Attractive layouts (text broken up into multiple capsules with high-quality images and media .)
- Easy to read text (consistent formatting that avoids excessive bolding, underlining, or italicizing text.)
- Evergreen content (content that will stay relevant for months and years to come.)
- Proper English grammar and spelling conventions.
- No promotional content (e.g., spammy links, unrelated product listings, repetitive keyword emphasis, links to your personal blog or website, etc.)
Once you have published five Featured Hubs, any subsequent Hubs you publish that do not pass the QAP will remain published, but will not be Featured. Featured Hubs are showcased on Topic Pages and Related Hubs listings. They are also made available to search engines. When you publish your fifth Featured Hub, you will also receive an Accolade demonstrating your success at publishing high-quality content on HubPages. And don't worry, after you pass Boot Camp, all of your future Hubs that are within our Terms of Service will remain published.
To maximize your chances of success on HubPages, we recommend that you carefully read through our Learning Center: http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/contents
Happy Hubbing!
The HubPages Team
