getting my article posted
A few weeks ago I poste "collaboration sourcing" for a movement we have started...and it has not been posted yet. Am I doing something wrong? 14:29, 7 April 2014 (UTC)Lisap23Lisap23 (talk) 14:29, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Your submission is still in your sandbox at User:Lisap23/sandbox. Nothin has happened to it, because you did not post it as an article or submit it for review at WP:Articles for creation. I have now added a "sandbox" template at the top, which includes a green "Submit your draft" button which will send it, when you are ready, to WP:Articles for creation, where an experience user will review it and either accept it or give you feedback.


 * It is not ready yet, because it has no references. These are essential for two reasons: Wikipedia's WP:Verifiability policy requires that: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source"; and there is an inclusion criterion called Notability which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."


 * Reading your draft, I have some doubts whether this will in fact be acceptable, if it is something new that your group has invented. An encyclopedia is not for telling the world about new things: its role is only to summarise material already discussed in reliable sources. The policy No original research includes:

"'If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery.'"
 * See also WP:NEO. Because the article in its present state would be declined for these reasons, I have set it back to the "unsubmitted" state, so that you have time to add references.


 * There is good general advice in WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
