I have corrected an error in a {{tl|cite}} item on the noted page, wanted to make sure I did it right. tnx Rpyle731talk 07:09, 15 October 2025 (UTC)
: What you've done is probably an improvement, but still wrong in using the <code>|author=</code> in that way. If there is no identified author, you leave it out. The fact that it's a press release would be a consideration for whether it is an independent source, but it does not need to be called out in the citation. And you should use the <code>|date=</code> to supply the date. The citation templates turn some of their parameters into microdata that gets used by Wikidata. Incorrectly supplying parameters messes this up. '''— jmcgnh ↗(talk) ↗ (contribs) ↗''' 07:45, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

Question from Ma7998017 ↗ : How long does it take for a page to get approved?

Hello,

Please, I created a page ↗ since October 15 but it has not been approved till now. Please, how long does it take for a new page to get approved? Ma7998017 (talk) 19:16, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

:I'm not sure how to answer the question. Let me do some research. Rpyle731talk 03:20, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

{{help me-helped|Not sure i am qualitified to answer Ma7998017's question}}

:There's no way of telling. There are currently 19,000 new pages awaiting review, with the oldest article being ~3 years, so it could be a while. That said, articles are not reviewed in any particular order, reviewers usually pick at random or they may specialise in certain subjects, so the review could happen at any time. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:46, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

:{{courtesy ping|Ma7998017}} -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:47, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
:PS: Oh, probably worth adding that new articles become indexable by external search engines when they've been reviewed, or 90 days after creation, whichever comes sooner. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:50, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
::::Thanks
::Rpyle731talk 08:19, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
::Thnanks for the clarification. I jope it is reviewed soon Ma7998017 (talk) 17:52, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
:Okay, thank you. Ma7998017 (talk) 17:50, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
