I finished editing a certain wiki article, but I didn't realize hitting save changes would not allow me to access the text anymore, so I didn't copy/save the work I have just spent the past half hour on.  If it's rejected or simply lost somehow I really want a backup.

So can I look at the article I submitted even though it hasn't been approved yet?

Unfortunately no, but I keep wishing you could, every time I hit accept I keep wanting a backup as well.

I made a back up for all my other articles, and was planning to for this one.  But I didn't realize hitting save changes would bring up an un-exitable window with the only options taking you away from the page.

It'll probably be a feature later on, but for now they are still learning with us, so I guess we'll just have to wait.

Agreed, I felt I put enough work into it for it to be approved though.  Just hope noone else beat me to it, and or did a better job than me.

What I have done is made a new folder on my PC called 'GiantBomb', and whenever I write something big, copy & paste it into a Word document, save it to that folder and wah-la!"
I know, so have I.  I just didn't know clicking on "Save Changes" would not let me go back to the document, at all.

Nah You can't, sadly... always save it I guess, but it would be nice to view out submission in more detail, as well as cancel them, but we'll see if those will ever happen.
