How much should I wait?

[+DeepButi]

Sure this has been asked every time a newbie creates a new cache ... what is a "reasonable" delay for a reviewer to review a new (standard, no special issues) page?

 

I know reviewers have a lot of work, go on holidays and ... get an enormous amount of money for his/her work , so it's not at all a claim, just asking.

You should have gotten an email after you properly submitted your cache for review indicating the time frame of 72 hours for the initial review.

Yes, I received an automatic answer "... you can usually expect this to be reviewed within 3 days." when I first created the page. As it was my first page and I was unsure about a lot of things I didn't check the "available for review" box, so the 72h period was not started logically.

 

Now, the box is marked and I was just wondering because our local forum seems to agree than "10 days" (not my case ... yet!) is reasonable.

As Motorcycle Mama points out, the 72 hours is for the "initial review".

 

If you've done your homework well and followed The Guidelines then, hopefully, your Reviewer will be able to publish your cache swiftly but he/she may need to query something, or ask you to amend something - he/she may contact you direct with an email or by putting a reviewer's note on your cache page.

 

BTW, just check that you've got your home co-ordinates listed, as this is a common reason for a hold-up in publishing a cache.

 

Good luck with it.

Remember that in some cases the reviewer needs to contact the land manager to verify permissions for placement. Then the time to publish partly depends on the land managers ability to respond in a timely manner.
