You are ready to go!

Choose one of the three options below:

Submit for review. If you would like feedback on your article, or if you don't want to register an account, your article will be created in project space and will be reviewed by another editor before being created.

Userspace draft. If you're new to this, or if you need time to prepare a good draft of your article, you can create a draft in your userspace (e.g. User:Example/Lipsum), and move or copy the draft to Wikipedia proper ("mainspace") later on, once it's ready. (You'll find instructions for this after saving your draft.) Your submission will not be reviewed by other editors while it is in your userspace (unless you request this at at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback).

Go live now! Place your article into Wikipedia straight away. Warning: if your article isn't ready to go live, you may find it quickly deleted! If this happens, see Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted?, don't take it personally, and try another method if appropriate.

What happens next: Once your article is submitted, it will be reviewed by one or more registered editors who will apply the same criteria to your submission that was outlined in this wizard:

  • Is the article's subject acceptable for Wikipedia?
  • Is the article's subject notable and does the article establish that notability?
  • Does the article cite its sources?
  • Does the article avoid violating copyright?
  • Is the article written from a neutral point of view?

If the answer to all of these questions is "yes", your article has a good chance of being accepted by the community. If not, your article may be radically revised or even deleted. Once you've created it, you can list it at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback if you'd like to get feedback on your new creation.

If your article is deleted – see Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? and don't take it personally! Having an article deleted by no means reflects poorly on you or diminishes your value to the project. We hope that you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia.

This wizard is under active development.
Please consider giving feedback.

Thank you.
