09:05:05, 3 September 2017 review of submission by Rane2030
I have started to write an article about an artist, now I have finished the article and submitted it for review. Perhaps, I cannot find the article I registered in the Wikipedia - when I insert name of the article in Wikipedia search field to search, it has no article with that name! Please help to clarify this, does it mean the title entered in the Wikipedia has got deleted? If so how should I continue with my work (I have put a lot of energy to prepare the article - now in Sandbox for review) Please help me Thank you rane2030 Rane2030 (talk) 09:05, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I've moved your submission to Draft:Wickrama Bogoda, which is the preferred location for articles that have been submitted for review. While you wait for a review, however, you need to correct your referencing in the submission. Right now, you have a large list of external links, some of which I presume you meant to be sources. That's not an acceptable way to supply references for a biography. You might want to look at Help:Referencing for beginners for instructions on how to go about putting in proper references so your article has a chance of being accepted when reviewed.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  09:57, 3 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh, I realize that I didn't address part of your question. Because the article name was still "sandbox", you would not have been able to find it using the subject's name. And, until it is accepted into "mainspace", it should not be showing up in external searches, such as Google.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  11:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
