"I would love your feedback"

I've edited your draft and left some meaningful edit summaries to fulfil the feedback request. By the way, it's generally recommended to create articles in draft space rather than user space. The reason is that if something is in draft space, if another editor starts a draft on the same topic, they get shown that there's something already there. Given that your topic is somewhat obscure, you are probably safe, though. Furthermore, I reckon your draft is good enough for you to submit it for review. I hope this is helpful.

Kia ora, thank you @Schwede66 that's much appreciated! I believe I have successfully converted it to a proper draft article now: Draft:Platypus (submarine). I have a few more bits of information and sources to add, plus a photo, and then I'll submit it for review – looking forward to it. Thanks again! Hillmenco (talk) 06:34, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You’ve successfully moved your writing to draft space. Well done. Followed exactly the right process. Schwede 66 07:20, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Platypus (submarine) has been accepted

Platypus (submarine), which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
