Violent extremism in West Africa moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Violent extremism in West Africa, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

 * Oh hello, yes I just began writing that article. There doesn't seem to be a coherent treatment of Violent Extremism on a regional level in West Africa.
 * I was unaware of the "Draft" function, so thanks for making me aware of that.
 * I just don't know how accessible the article will be to other editors, as a draft.
 * It might take a while for me to singlehandedly turn it into a more fully-fleshed piece with robust citations. My hope was that interested contributors would help make that happen.
 * Plus I've seen a "This Wikipedia article is a stub. Please help by expanding it." note on some published Wikipedia articles. Maybe that'll be more helpful than just assigning it Draft status? Tamedu quaternion (talk) 14:35, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * That isn't a stub and it has exactly 1 source, which isn't reliable and doesn't cover the content. Find sources and rewrite it so it isn't an essay. PRAXIDICAE🌈 14:37, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not an essay, it's an introduction.
 * I intend to fill in a number of sections: History, Different parties involved etc.
 * Over time it'll take more shape. I'll make some more additions and see what happens with the review process. Tamedu quaternion (talk) 14:43, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Hello,
 * I'm completely aware there are multiple aspects to the article that could use modification, for it to be better aligned with the general nature of Wikipedia articles.
 * Here's my question: How do I position this piece on Wikipedia so other people can contribute to it? And make some of the changes that would make it more in the format Wikipedia generally favours?
 * The topic of the article is a very important and urgent one that affects people's lives. And I feel the publicity from Wikipedia would help with awareness/information/analysis/finding solutions, etc.
 * However I'm just one person, and I also have very little to gain from spending tons of time learning Wikipedia-specific writing conventions.
 * How can other people contribute to this piece and help push it towards being more in the format of general Wikipedia articles? The Draft space feels entirely isolated, and it's not clear how interested contributors to the piece, can find it there.
 * Looking forward to your response, thanks. Tamedu quaternion (talk) 20:12, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Modified article (including title) to resolve recentism-based concerns.

Reviewer should point out specific aspects containing original research, if any. All points/inferences in the article are backed by cited sources.

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

 * Hello, Tamedu quaternion,
 * I'm responding to you after reading your long comments on the AFD involving an article you created. I think you have some misperceptions about Wikipedia. First, all Wikipedia, like you and me, are volunteers. We spend time working on Wikipedia when we want to and as much time as we want to. It's not a job or a family, it's a hobby. Second, your focus is getting as much feedback as possible to get your article accepted into the main space of the project. But editors who review Drafts (AFC reviewers) or articles moved into the main space of the project (New Page Patrol) have dozens, maybe hundreds of pages to look at. Your article is another page they have to review before they get to the next article. If you are lucky, maybe a reviewer or editor will take the time to offer you advice (like I'm doing right now) but they have a limited amount of time to spend here and a big pile of work to get through so it's rare that someone will take the time to walk you through the process of getting an article accepted (which is the hardest thing a new editor can try to do).


 * Because of this, we have set up places for new editors to get their questions answered. Please bring your questions to the Teahouse or the AFC Help Desk where you are more likely to get a personal response. Please be patient, there is more work than all of us can get to, and try not to personalize disagreements. We're all doing the best job we can do with the time we have here. Good luck! Liz Read!
