Help Please... I am wondering why it is taking so long to have my article reviewed? Is there a waiting list or a backlog? Does anyone have any idea how long it may be? Puptent1cooties (talk) 18:27, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the following information from the article, as I believe it requires some rephrasing before it is published. Mz7 (talk) 20:46, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
