Welcome to the WikiProject Articles for creation Help Desk Archives
The page you are currently viewing is an archive page. While you can leave answers for any questions shown below, please ask new questions on one of the current Help Desk pages.
I'm a new user, so this is probably a silly question. I checked the review results for my contribution and it said the article I submitted to Articles for creation, has been created. What does that mean? The article I created has been accepted, or it is in for the review of next round? Thank you!
It means your article met the basic criteria to be included on Wikipedia. As K7L says, it has been accepted and moved into Wikipedia's main article space. There are no other 'rounds'. Of course, now it is in article space, expect other editors to join in and edit it, improve it or clean it up. Congratulations anyway on getting your first article accepted!

After looking at your article briefly, I think most of your references are good. Since this is a Biography of a Living Person (BLP) in-line citations are required for important information. I changed one of your external links, in the second sentence, into an in-line citation to show you an example. The page editor has a built in citation tool to help with this. See WP:REFB for information on how to use this tool. There is also information on doing it manually and what is required at WP:CITE and WP:ILC. I also moved then infobox to the top, that is where it should be. If you need more assistance you can contact me on my talk page, or post back here. -- :- ) Don00:35, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome, This is the great help. I will complete inline citation and will let you know for further review.
Hi there,
Could I please check that the page I have created for "Martin Shervington" is currently under review?
I would like to add a photo and more personal information as well, could you let me know how I can undertake that task?
This is my first wiki page and I thank you in advance for your help.
Warmest regards, Linda Dee

It looks like the page contained many unclosed tags; you need to close a <ref> with </ref> and not another <ref>. That's problematic as an article about a living person with no references at all is not likely to be accepted.
Articles about people tend to require extra caution so as to ensure that they are accurate, that they are not an attack on the subject or conversely an advertisement for the subject. As such, a biography of a living person must cite reliable sources for every claim made and be neutral in tone. Reliable sources are also needed to establish the subject's notability.
I've closed the </ref> tags but haven't looked at the rest. If you want to attempt to make further corrections, just go to the page and click the 'edit' link at the top. Photos normally can be added only if they're not copyrighted (or are under a compatible free licence), see files for upload. K7L (talk) 12:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If the image is on Wikipedia (or Wikimedia Commons) using [[Image:Dr peter allen.png|thumb|Dr. Allen]] will give the image at right: File:Dr peter allen.pngDr. Allen
Note that images need to be public domain or under a free license; you cannot use copyrighted materials and the image description page must identify both the source of the image and the free license used.
To get inline citations, such as <ref>[http://www.bcmj.org/proust-physicians/proust-questionnaire-peter-allen-md Proust questionnaire: Peter Allen, MD, BCMJ, Vol. 53, No. 9, November 2011]</ref> see Help:Footnotes and Wikipedia:Inline citation. It may also be helpful to look at existing articles (click 'edit' to see the wiki code) to see how they format text and citations. K7L (talk) 15:44, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
When an article is submitted, who reviews the article? Can any established wiki user evaluate a new article or is there a more formal process? Thank you.
A new user cannot review articles as creating the page (if a submission is accepted) requires ability to move pages. There is, however, no requirement that a reviewer be a Wikipedia administrator or hold another specific qualification. K7L (talk) 19:54, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, unfortunately not many people here will have the time to write your article for you. A few paragraph spaces and a little bit of punctuation would help make it more readable. The big problem you need to sort out are the sources, which only briefly mention Jannat Shahid. See Wikipedia's golden rule, if there is no substantial news coverage about her, she's probably not well-known enough for Wikipedia. Sionk (talk) 20:03, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've submitted the article draft Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/JoJo Ryder multiple times for review, however, the submission-received box does not appear at the bottom of the page. Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly.
Done The submission template now correctly appears at the bottom. A412 (Talk • C) 00:58, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
