Hi

I am trying to create a simple wiki page that reference 9 patents If the page is rejected will I receive a message?

Well Paul, what you need to do to set up an article on Wikipedia and get it reviewed and accepted is explained here. Without taking those steps your sandbox page will just sit there and never become part of the encyclopedia. However, I'd have to say that a simple list of patent texts isn't going to cut it. That is what we call a primary source. The article would also need to refer to published commentaries by independent writers conveying what is significant about the invention, in what ways it has made an impact on the outside world, and what there is about it that may interest our readers. Much more about Wikipedia is linked from the welcome message on your talk page, and if you have further questions the Teahouse is there to help: Noyster (talk), 23:57, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
