New to Wikipedia biography article drafting

Latest comment: 24 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm looking forward to hearing back regarding my draft article about Gerald Jonas, retired New Yorker staff writer and NYT science fiction book reviewer.

I worked hard through the early editing stages, with the help of generous Wikipedia editor/volunteers who guided me. (The learning curve, in terms of subject/content requirements and platform infrastructure was steep, but I am hopeful that I've adapted and learned quickly.)

The article, from what I understand, is now in the final review queue. If you spot any project tag or other tools I might have overlooked or misunderstood, please let me know. I'm eager to perform any final edits required and to see my first Wikipedia article go live!

Checking in....

Hello all...I'm checking in (and trying to not lose the ground gained when I immersed myself in the Wikipedia eco-system at the beginning of September)...feeling a bit lost, as I can't find some of the conversation threads w/ editors who were encouraging about the final review of my draft article. (I'm feeling disoriented....between the article's "sandbox" and my profile's "talk" page.)

For what it's worth, I will post this and ask my basic question again: Is there anything I can proactively be doing to have this draft article reviewed for publication/release? I put so much time into the research and formatting of the draft article, the lack of updates in this editorial waiting phase feels odd. I can also see that the "waiting list" has grown, so possibly patience is the key.

Thanks for reading/advising! ~ Lisa (Vancouver, Canada) VancouverWriter (talk) 13:37, 24 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
