  • "Flush with excitement at creating my first Wikipedia page from scratch (I had contributed other bits before but never a complete page), I submitted the article for review. I soon received a message that there was a backlog and it was possible I would not hear anything for up to six weeks. I heard back in about a month. My article had been rejected. Apparently I had not documented her importance sufficiently enough, using independent sources."
