Hi Mr Red,

I applaud your efforts to create the article on William Main Doerflinger and in best Wikipedia tradition, have hacked it around a bit with the aim of expanding and improving on your initial work. I hope you will not mind too much and see the value of my additions/alterations :), see here:

By the way, I have created WP articles in the past (most recently a day or so ago) and have never had to wait for approval before they have become visible. They do, however get reviewed, and if found to be deficient in some way (e.g. insufficient evidence of notability) can be candidates for deletion unless improved. Just my experience, anyway. (Maybe it is because I have not written drafts and just gone straight to "create article").

All the best - Tony
