When an article name is entered here, you must tag the line with today's date - this date must NOT be changed (this allows us to see how long an article has been waiting to be completed).

Titles should be in lower case (except for the first letter, any Platinum options and any trade names). The article should sit in this section until it has been approved, it is then moved the 'Title Confirmed' section below, before allocation.
