AFC Backlog

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help!

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 1844 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.

Do you have what it takes?

Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
Are you autoconfirmed?
Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily!

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.
On behalf of the Articles for Creation project,
TheSpecialUser ^TSU

-== Thank you ==
-Thanks for the reply - I re wrote it. I wrote to him and admins.
-The way I previously wrote it may have mislead one to think its a club? I put the word "club" in there once I think with 95% of the content describing that it was A Country's national sport team.  I dont know - Im an Amateur writer  :(
-In regards to Tag20 rugby, on the contrary it is a notable sport,  Tag 20 rugby is Tag Rugby. Tag rugby and Tag football has many variations with codes depending on which country. Perhaps he should of read up a little more before saying that.
-Would be nice just have some direction and suggestions from the pros for newbies rather than blatant deleting. It took me ages to find myself around here just to reply and read everything.  I write with good faith abiding with rules and policies.
-Thank for taking the time to write back! - sorry about my carry on :)
