Hello. If you're talking about the page at User:L.S. inc./sandbox, you haven't submitted it for review. There is a big blue button in the tag at the top of the page that you can click to submit it for review. Please note, however, that it will take longer than a few hours. Depending on the page, some pages have been waiting review for a few weeks. Cheers, Nick⁠—⁠^Contact/_Contribs 06:02, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi L.S.! Nice effort but needs to follow guidelines such as WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. To this effect, you should find some reliable sources which discuss manufacturers of model trains in general, perhaps with notes on regional trends and how they evolved historically. Then write some nice prose summarizing and citing those sources and add this to the top of your article. I would also advise restricting the list to sufficiently notable manufacturers, with criteria for inclusion to be discussed with the community of fellow editors. Finally, the list is a bit unwieldy to read and would be more useful if formatted as a table, where information can be sorted. There is guidance at Help:Table and a good example for a similar article structure and table would be List of Progress flights. Enjoy! — JFG ^talk 09:10, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
