== My good articles are not reviewed; my worse articles are quickly AfDed, instead of AfCed ==
I am a Nigerian Wikipedia editor. I have been editing for few months now. I have contributed up to thirty articles to Wikipedia within these few months, but with time, I noticed a pattern. There is the tendency for more experienced editors to ignore good articles and leave then unreviewed, but very quick at nominating an article that is still being created for deletion, rather than sending them back as drafts to be worked on for a while. I have thought about this for a long time. These articles I created are facing this unreviewed wave: [[Charles Nwodo Jr.]], [[Victoria Nwogu]], [[Nick Ezeh]] etc. It appears to me too that Nigerian sources are being prejudiced against as not reliable even when they are. I want this to be discussed extensively in the Tea House. Can specific editors be assigned to watch new editors form Africa, especially Nigeria, who are prolific and encourage them by reviewing their good articles? I have a feeling I am speaking for many new editors who are facing similar challenges. I ask in good faith and I am ready to learn. Please, no one should be offended by my query.

::::Hello, {{u|Royalrumblebee}}. What you are describing is quality control at its finest. [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martina Ononiwu]] shows how you wrote an article with ''serious'' problems that was effectively a hoax. So, the solution is for you to refrain from writing problematic articles. Once you place a new article in the main space of the encyclopedia, it is immediately subject to review including nomination for deletion by new page patrollers. We are not going to create a new process for editors from Nigeria when the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] review process is already available to all editors, and perhaps you should use that instead. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Nigeria]] is a place where you can interact with other Nigerian editors. [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 16:29, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
