Checking the status of an approved request
1. Click on the link provided in the response and be patient. Your article won't go up the day or even the week you request it. It will take time.

2. DO NOT edit the article yourself. If you do, I will stop working on it and you can fend for yourself against the people that will want to delete it. If you have a suggestion, contact me in the comment thread about your article or on my main talk page.
