The status should not be set to 'approved'. You could use 
'status=in_use' or 'status=defacto' but not approved.

And the 'advertising' has a few problems too ... why 'size'? Why not

If you wanted 'approval' then you need to 'discuss' so as to get ideas 
on how to improve it before you get to experiment with it .. and then 
vote ...
