10:24:03, 19 August 2016 review of submission by AxelRR
Hello. I am still waiting for a review of a page that was declined twice. I've been waiting for about a month now, and I feel that the page addresses the complaints of the reviewers. I believe my efforts were unsuccessful first because of how I organized the page. The issue has been the subjects notability, which I find to be a non-issue myself and have done what I can time permitting to harvest sources. I am a Swede and so some of the sources I use are in Swedish (and that is where we can see some of his notability too, so they must be included in the page).

 * Hi . I reviewed and accepted your submission two days ago. It is now a published Wikipedia article. I did leave a message on your talk page to that effect but perhaps you missed it. In any case, thanks for your contribution and I hope you'll continue to help improve the encyclopaedia. Joe Roe (talk) 13:30, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Dear Helpful Editor team--I am curious to know if anyone can tell me what might be reasons for the seemingly long gap of time since submitting this new page for review. This is the 2nd page I've created and the first one was reviewed so rapidly, once I first submitted it, that I may just be unfamiliar with the norm. I am eager to keep improving the pages I work on, of course, and welcome any and all advice or assistance. Thank you!!!Seedsforchange (talk) 20:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC) Seedsforchange (talk) 20:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Greetings and welcome to WikiProject Articles for Creation!  The long gap in time is because of the large backlog (800+ pages currently) and the limited time available by the volunteer reviewers.
 * My standard advice, that some may or may not agree with, is this:


 * This will greatly help the reviewers and often will lead to quicker acceptance of notable topics.  After a draft is accepted, it can be expanded, within the bounds of Wikipedia guidelines and policies.  Happy editing! --  1Wiki8 ........................... (talk) 09:18, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
