Question from LtMHReqm (20:37, 29 October 2025)
Hi! I submitted my first back in June and was declined because I cited incorrectly. I updated it immediately to reflect everything, I believe, the accurate way. However, I haven’t seen any movement on the piece. Is it normal for it to take this long? The original submission was responded to quite quickly… I’m wondering if I’ve done something incorrectly after updating? --LtMHReqm (talk) 20:37, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
- Hi there! Sorry for the late reply, I am busy with real life stuff :( Articles for Creation submissions are reviewed by volunteers and it can take up to several months for your updated submission to be reviewed. Regards, ~delta (talk • cont) 16:59, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for support in November! - On St. Cecilia's Day - patron saint of music - I remember a composition by Benjamin Britten, and have a woman on the main page who illustrated songs, with a sense of humour. My places take you to Milan, my first visit to La Scala, and music features our latest choral Abendlob, with English music. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:36, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
