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.
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.
Please note that if the issues are not fixed, the draft will be declined again.
Comment: Might be notable but many of the sources are not reliable, routine announcements or based on what they say about themselves. Also, this is written more like a profile rather than an encyclopedia article which should summarize what sources have independently written based on their own analysis/evaluation. Things like Key people are entirely inappropriate and simply listing routine activities like acquisitions is not helpful and the awards are not notable.
