Somebody has put a block on my Danube River article

Hi, Earlier today I did the article on the River Danube. While I did not attribute any of the photos, the article was taken directly from Hubpages where they were attributed. Many of them, if not all, were creative commons or wiki. However, I didn't have time to put that in, and now I've deleted the Hub, so I've just put in videos which are a lot better. They actually improve it a 100 times. However, it now says it won't publish because it needs a text or any image to start. Well, it's all there, so I can only assume there's a hold on that.

Please can you fix it.

And,yes, it was my article. :) 

Many thanks.

I fixed it and your article is published.

Thanks. :)

while we're on the topic, why can't we put a youtube video at the top as the first thing? Many sites have the youtube video at the top to entice people to watch it then read more... I can see why you don't want amazon/ebay/allposters etc... at the top but a youtube video should be allowed (as the first thing)... any thoughts?

Google loves to see a lot of useful content "above the fold". That's why we have this relatively easy rule.  

Google recognizes video as useful content, hell they own the worlds most prolific video service YouTube!  Even Hubpages puts their video pages videos (propitiatory videos uploaded to hp directly) at the very top, even before content... and they are really trying to get on Google's good side... the introduction content should be at a certain threshold to publish, that would resolve the content issue :)
