AfC notification: Draft:Henry Beach Needham has a new comment

Four months
editOn chat, you said:
"Hi, I recently tried to publish a biography on wikipedia of Henry Beach Needham and it says it will take 4 months for approval, is this because it was my first article?"
No. It may take that long because there's an enormous backlog and not enough people doing review - but drafts aren't reviewed in any particular order. At a glance, yours looks quite competent. Not perfect, but it's clear you've actually read the instructions.
A suggestion: I'd be careful about citing FindAGrave — rather, cite the specific news articles that are archived there. This, for instance — where and when was it published? DS (talk) 02:40, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
