How is it possible that it took less than a day to add this, but when I add articles it takes months?

Once you hit a certain threshold of account age/edit count, you don't have to go through the draft submission process, you can just add an article to mainspace. That said, unless you know what you're doing with writing an article, it'll probably get moved back to draftspace.
