I think there have been so many glitches and problems that the people who approve these things are overloaded. I have been submitting task, and it took a great deal for some to be approved and some till haven't been looked over yet. Go to your profile where it says task, click it.
Then click "under review". It should show your how to there and if you click it, you'll be able to see what was submitted. This is a problem many people are having right now.
Perhaps in the mean time you can build a page, while you wait to hear about the how to. About @Annek, I am not sure if she is ill, working or what. When I do task, she isn't over them, so I can't help you there.
However, if she is currently not working, there would be other people to look over your work. I just really think the system is backed up. Try to do a page if you are getting restless.
I enjoy those more than the how tos personally. Goodluck and hang in there!
Don't worry. All tasks submitted will be reviewed. Sometimes it just takes longer than normal when there are a lot of new tasks submitted.
Annek is no longer working at Mahalo so that may be why she didn't get back to you. Try contacting some of the other staff members like @lon , @coreymac or @mikebracco if you have a question, or you can email Mahalo at contact@mahalo.com.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
