I just finished my first article and was wondering how long it generally takes to be reviewed and boosted. Thanks:slight_smile:

Depends, really, on several factors, all of which would take forever to list here. Usually, though, the more the article is up to wikiHow standards, the quicker it gets published.

No problem!:slight_smile:

Could someone please bump my article out of NAB. I can’t do it as I am a NABer.

Thanks!

@Penmouse Your article will be boosted in due time. Please have patience for the process. As well I don’t see the need to post here and needlessly bump an old discussion. (You weren’t involved in this discussion and no boosters are going to be checking this discussion as it’s already been dealt with) In the future, if you have a question about your article feel free to post  https://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow_talk:Article-Review-Team here.:slight_smile:

With approximately eight articles in the queue it should not take that long to have the article go live. Teresa and I used to NAB literally hundreds of articles weekly. She NABed more than I did. I don’t know how she did it.

Thank you!

As far as I know, there’s no set or even projected time for an article to go live. Boosters boost at their own speed. All of us have some sort of life outside of wiki. I don’t know what happened back then but I’m sure articles went at their own pace even then. I was boosting this morning and the queue was at 30+ and I did several before I had to stop. So that’s 20 something in a few hours. There’s no rush it’ll get promoted or demoted in its own time. 

No, thank you.:slight_smile:

Back then there were hundreds of articles to boost. I used to boost between 25 to 50 articles most days. Teresa did far more. We were over worked that’s for sure :-) 

I just finished boosting an article and figured out how to send the article off to the Rising Feed. Help would be appreciated in educating me on how to send articles off to {{fa}}

Thanks so much for your help!

Heya, @Penmouse ! Thanks for helping out with boosting. Regarding your note about {{fa}}, the featured articles are still choosen by staff at this time - no change in practice with that process.:slight_smile:Rising star articles are shown on the main page of wikiHow though, so they get a fair amount of readership. Cheers!
