Help:Unreviewed new page

New articles are checked by experienced editors who are very familiar with core policies. They are new page reviewers and they control the quality of new pages and prevent the addition of spam, copyright violations, articles not about notable topics, and other content not suitable for Wikipedia even if it has many references.

This includes articles created directly in mainspace (the encyclopedia proper), or moved there from draft or user space (including sandboxes). It includes articles replacing a redirect that had existed at the same title and new articles created at a title that was previously deleted, whether or not the content is new or taken from previous or existing content. Some articles created via the Articles for creation process will also be reviewed again by a new page reviewer after acceptance.

Once an article is reviewed, it will be visible to external search engines (indexed). New page reviewers are volunteers and articles are not reviewed in any specific order. An article may remain unreviewed for several months. An article free of potential issues is usually more likely to be reviewed promptly. Sometimes, articles have been patrolled but have not been marked as reviewed. They may have some banners on top explaining what is wrong and including links on what to do.

In some cases, if articles are not quite ready for mainspace, they may be moved to Draft space where you can work on it undisturbed for a while until it is ready. Articles that are not suitable for the encyclopedia will usually be listed for deletion.


 * What can you do if your article has still not been reviewed and/or has been tagged for more attention or moved to a draft?
