I responded to you on the Requests for Feedback page. Tkotc (talk) 06:31, 5 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, User:Tkotc. I heeded your advice from Requests for Feedback page and went to Wikipedia: Article Wizard and its userspace...JaneFaber (talk) 03:00, 6 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

OK I got your note on my page but I can't find the article anywhere. I looked in your user space and there are no articles. When I start an article using the article wizard, the process takes me through several pages, where it asks about the subject, sources, notability, and content, and ends on a final page with three choices, (1) create article for review, (2) create new userspace draft, and (3) create new article. The option I pick, and which I suggest, is "2". After you do that, you have to type in all the stuff for the article. Is this the process you followed? Does all this seem familiar?
Anyhow, I have to think that somehow in this process you didn't save your work and it got dropped, because I can't find a thing. If you have your materials (or better yet, a draft), you could re-create it. No harm. Be very careful to name the article how you want it to appear, though. After you have finished, you can always find the page again by going to Special:Prefixindex, putting in your username, and looking on the namespace "User". This will list any articles in your userspace. Tkotc (talk) 04:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Right. Thanks. I used the WP article wizard process but obviously not well enough. I'll resubmit-with-a-save. JaneFaber (talk) 08:12, 28 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
I saw your post at one of the help pages. Don't worry at all about the draft page being called User talk:JaneFaber/Enter your new article name here. When the article has been reviewed, you will be able to choose a better title for it when you move it out of "user space" into "article space". See Wikipedia:So you made a userspace draft and especially the example screenshot towards the bottom of that page. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
John of Reading, you've done kindly work. Thanks for advice on renaming the page. Am now reformatting its external links. JaneFaber (talk) 02:01, 2 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

[Later] The article went live and, in time, other people weighed in with additional information. Much appreciated. JaneFaber (talk) 04:52, 11 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Another article

edit

Process for another article got complicated (re Arctic Kangaroo). Article was then vetted by someone else. After article was created, followup was done by other editors and all went smoothly (circa October 2013).

Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
