[edit] École du Louvre

I copied your question here, because now you've made me curious how long it will be until Google notices your work. I'm not surprised that it is not indexed yet, given less than 48 hours. But please do make a note back at WP:HELPDESK#Article_reference_in_Google when it does show up. With as many pages as have links to your new page, it will be quicker than most new pages!

The article I created in English does not appear in the Google search results. The article on the same topic in other wikipedia languages does appear, and the link from other English Wikipedia articles leading to mine do appear as well.

How do I get my article to appear as a search result in a simple Google search? —Preceding unsigned comment added by VerdanaTech (talk • contribs) 08:37, 3 March 2007

If you mean École du Louvre, you created it only 2 days ago. Perhaps Google hasn't indexed it yet? Which article did you mean? Shenme 09:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh my, yes, you've created the page, added redirects for non-accented characters, and fixed links on many pages in just the last 48 or so hours. I think Google will take a bit longer than that to recognize that the new page exists. In fact, it will be interesting to see how long, given that your page is referenced from so many places. Can you keep checking and make a note here? I'm curious. Shenme 09:21, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

The article has just appeared as a Google search result. It comes in fifth position for all languages and second in English only. VerdanaTech 19 March 07
