There should be a general description of the periodical in addition to the bullet points of information
Don't forget to include the periodical's location in the MFQ or MFQB
Please add a scanned image of a sample title page if possible
Add {{EditStatus|status=X}} to the discussion page of the article, filling in A, B, C, or "start" for the status (see below)

Edit Status Guidelines

These are the general guidelines for determining the edit status of entries of periodical entries:

A	The article has nearly all available, relevant information on the periodical, including its editorship, the period of its publication, etc. The style of the article is very good and there are few or no formatting mistakes in the text.
B	The article is lacking some important information, such as editor or publication information, or there are issues with the style and/or structure
C	The article is missing most of the information that should be included, or is in need of major editing work
Start	The article only contains the most basic information about the periodical, and needs much more content to be complete
