Welcome to '''WikiProject Articles for creation'''! This is the project page for editors interested in working on [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation|Articles for creation]], [[Wikipedia:Redirects for creation]], [[Wikipedia:Categories for creation]] and [[Wikipedia:Files for upload|Files for upload]].<br />
<br />
{{divbox|green||{{center|''To submit an [[Wikipedia:Article|article]], use the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard|Article wizard]]; for [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirects]] and [[Wikipedia:Categorization|categories]], use the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard/Redirects|Redirect wizard]] and [[Wikipedia:Article wizard/version1/Category|Category wizard]] respectively. If you would like to request a [[Wikipedia:Files|media file]] be uploaded to Wikipedia, use the [[Wikipedia:Files for upload/Wizard|Files for upload wizard]]. If you simply want to suggest a topic for someone else to write, use [[Wikipedia:Requested articles|Requested articles]].''}}}}<br />
<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
Only editors with [[Wikipedia:User access levels#Autoconfirmed and confirmed users|Autoconfirmed and confirmed user levels]] are allowed to create mainspace articles directly, so '''Articles for creation''', or '''AfC''', opens a path for new users. Experienced editors can help develop and create drafts, and decline submissions that are not ready to be published.<br />
<br />
An article may be unsuitable for many reasons. Submissions can be declined based on having insufficient context, containing copyright violations, not asserting [[WP:N|notability]], not being properly sourced, promotional language, and for other reasons.<br />
<br />
A dedicated team of editors is needed to review the requests. There is often a backlog, so ensure submissions meet Wikipedia guidelines to avoid repeated declines.<br />
<br />
==Brief history==<br />
On 5 December 2005, in response to the [[Wikipedia Seigenthaler biography incident|Seigenthaler incident]], unregistered users were stopped from creating new pages on the English Wikipedia ([[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-12-05/Page creation restrictions|read about it]] in Wikipedia's newspaper ''[[The Signpost]]'').<br />
<br />
Consequently, the page [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation]] was set up by {{user|Creidieki}} and others, to allow unregistered users to submit articles for registered users to create on their behalf. The first page to be created was the redirect {{no redirect|Fox Latin America}} requested by {{ip|140.247.23.58}}. The first article created was [[Horsea Island]] by {{user|Chemstud}}.<br />
<br />
Following huge backlogs, [[User:Alexandria|Kwsn]] and others {{oldid|Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation|135218677|started}} WikiProject Articles for creation on 2 June 2007.<br />
<br />
==Project goals==<br />
#Promote awareness of the WikiProject.<br />
#Review requests at<br />
#*[[:Category:Pending AfC submissions]] ''(or [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Submissions]])''<br />
#*[[Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects]] and [[WP:AFC/C|categories]]<br />
#*[[Wikipedia:Files for upload]]<br />
#Promote, monitor and improve the articles and images created through the project.<br />
<br />
==How to get involved==<br />
We need you! Any editor who meets the criteria below can apply to be a reviewer.<br />
Reviewers '''must have''':<br />
* a Wikipedia account at least 90 days old.<br />
* a minimum of 500 undeleted edits to articles.<br />
* read and understood the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions|reviewing instructions]].<br />
* a demonstrated understanding of the policies mentioned in the reviewing instructions, including the [[:Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines|special notability categories]].<br />
* evidence of understanding the [[WP:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] (experience in areas such as [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|CSD]]/[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|AfD]]/[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|PROD]] or [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/Help|page curation]] are beneficial).<br />
* a willingness and ability to respond in a timely manner to questions.<br />
<br />
Submissions must be reviewed in accordance with Wikipedia's [[WP:CONPOL|established content policies]] and [[Wikipedia:List of guidelines#Content|guidelines]] — become familiar with them. The reviewing instructions cover reviews of article drafts, redirects and categories, and file requests. <br />
