Review waiting, please be patient.

This may take up to a week, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 0 pending submissions waiting for review.


  • If the submission is accepted, then this page will be moved into the article space.
  • If the submission is declined, then the reason will be posted here.
  • In the meantime, you can continue to improve this submission by editing normally.

Where to get help
  • If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
  • If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.
How to improve a draft
  • Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia – a basic overview on how to edit Wikipedia.
  • Help:Wikitext – how to use the markup
  • Help:Referencing for beginners – how to include references
  • Wikipedia:Article development – how to develop your article
  • Wikipedia:Writing better articles – how to improve your article
  • Wikipedia:Verifiability – make sure your article includes reliable third-party sources

You can also browse Wikipedia:Featured articles and Wikipedia:Good articles to find examples of Wikipedia's best writing on topics similar to your proposed article.

Improving your odds of a speedy review

To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.

    Usage

    This template is meant as a single template for marking the status of an Articles for creation submission. To use this template to submit an article for review, use {{subst:submit|username}}, where username is the username of the draft's creator (left blank it will assume it is you). The template uses one of the following parameter options:

    • {{AfC submission|T}} produces the unsubmitted draft banner {{AfC submission/draft}}
      • Shortcut: {{subst:AfC draft|username}}, where username is the username of the draft's creator (left blank it will assume it is you).
    • {{AfC submission}} (no first parameter) produces the pending submission banner {{AfC submission/pending}}
      • This may also be produced using {{subst:submit|username}}, as discussed above.
    • {{AfC submission|D}} produces the declined banner {{AfC submission/declined}}, or the rejected banner {{AfC submission/rejected}}, depending on whether the reject parameter is passed with some value
    • {{AfC submission|R}} produces the reviewing banner {{AfC submission/reviewing}}
    • When a submission is moved into mainspace, it produces the "created" message {{AfC submission/created}}

    Decline options

    When declining an AfC submission, this template can take additional parameters to include a decline reason. All decline templates used under the old system (listed here) are included in this template. The idea is to streamline the decline process; instead of including three templates, now a reviewer need only add a single parameter to the template to include a decline reason.

    To include the decline reason, use {{AfC submission|D|reason}}, replacing reason with one of the abbreviations listed at Template:AfC submission/comments. That page also shows the resulting messages. Some reasons may take an additional parameter ({{AfC submission|D|reason|Additional parameter}}). These parameters are optional, except the additional parameter for reason itself.

    If no parameter is included after D, or an invalid parameter is entered, the invalid parameter will appear as the decline reason.
