Help me
I 'published' an article from my sandbox on 27 Oct. Since then I have had no response from anyone. Earlier when I posted articles, they simply appeared. But that has been a while (and I have not been able to get back into my old id). What do I need to do now to get this up on the site? The article is in my sandbox titled Maliha Husain (different [person from Maliha Hussain already up on the site. Thanks. Leijay43 04:38, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The label on the button causes a fair amount of confusion. What it does is push the editing changes you have made back to Wikpedia's servers where they become visible to other editors (hence "publish"). It does nothing, all by itself, to submit a draft for review or make a page searchable by search engines.
 * So your draft is sitting peacefully in your sandbox waiting for you to submit it. To do that, you can add the text  to the top and save it (that is, "Publish"). This will mark the submission as needing review and list it with other submissions in the review queue.
 * You may want to add a note to the draft or on the draft's talk page mentioning that this is a different person from Maliha Hussain. The reviewer will then be able to take that into account. If they accept your submission as an article, they will clean up the comment and various other things remaining from the articles for creation process, determine the correct name for the article, and probably add one or more categories.
 * In the meantime, while you wait for review, I advise you to fix your references. Using bare URL links in the body of the article is no longer an accepted referencing style. Please see referencing for beginners if you need more help doing this. Or ask for help at the Teahouse.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 07:35, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
