Getting your new article to appear on the Main Page of Wikipedia as "Did You Know" entry is a great first goal, as soon as you move out of a sandbox. To be eligible, an article must:
- conform to Wikipedia's core policies regarding verifiability, neutral point of view, and copyright.
- have been created (or expanded five-fold) within the last five days;
- be about 3 or 4 paragraphs long, at the least;
- be supported with citations to reliable sources;
You can read more about the Did You Know process in general, or check out the step-by-step instructions if you think you'd like to try it. Template:Training footer
