Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Submissions

The sorted list still doesn't seem to want to display. Any idea what the problem is? Pol430 talk to me 18:32, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Pol430,

Sorry I don't have a clued.  I tested it every which way in sandbox before change and everything was fine.  I can not make it fine any more at all, so took troublesome expression out.  Remote possibility is I think they just up-reved Mediawiki, but unlikely.  Sorry.  Should be okay again, but dropping the too large template expression is out.  Other switch over stuff is still in and seems to work.   :- ) DCS 02:00, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

No need to apologize, it was a good idea. Shame Mediawiki can't keep up ;) Pol430 talk to me 16:56, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I put the switches back into the submissions page.  Silly me.  The problem was not just the submitted count but the entire count in the list.  I'm checking at Mediawiki for a method to trap the "template too large to display" error directly.  :- ) Don 17:52, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Good to see you're still on the case ;) Pol430 talk to me 12:33, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Question on topic you commented on in Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk

Hi,

I just reposted a follow-up question on a question you commented on earlier. I still feel in a sort of Limbo with my new article being rejected because the name for it has a misleading redirect.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk#New_article_on_Libertarian_Paternalism_3

Be well!

I have now had good help with this question from other people! Filofil (talk) 10:47, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm glad you got some satisfaction.  Unfortunately, I just have not had any time the last month or so to spend on the Wiki.  :- ) Don 14:49, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Creation Appeal

Articles for Creation is backlogged and needs YOUR help! Articles for Creation is desperately in need of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors and administrators alike, to help us clear a record backlog of pending submissions. There is currently a significant backlog of 2713 submissions waiting to be reviewed. These submissions are generally from new editors who have never edited Wikipedia before. A prompt, constructive review of submissions could significantly editor retention. Do you have what it takes? Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines? Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not? Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions? Are you (at least) autoconfirmed? Can you review submissions based on their individual merits? If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. Click here to review to a random submissionArticle selected by erwin85's random article script on toolserver. We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 1 or 2 reviews, would be extremely beneficial.
