Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

User:RoboCric

I've created 110 undeleted articles so far, as you can see here. You may see some issues with a few of my older articles, but those were in my early days and it is very normal for a newbie. I can guarantee you that my recent 40-50 creations are absolutely fine, and no concerns have been raised by NPRs. I want this right to reduce the NPR backlog and to get my articles indexed quickly (as I create articles about current events). I don't think reviewers have anything to do on my articles except marking as reviewed. Thanks. RoboCric Let's chat 18:47, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done Those are nice, clean articles. Good work. The only feedback that I have for you is that given you use WP:RATER to self-assess your work, you need to be aware that this tool generally results in a class rating that is higher than what it should be. I've looked through your last 10 articles and downrated something like 8 of them. But that's not an Autopatrolled issue anyway. Schwede66 21:53, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser


User:Joris Darlington Quarshie

I've familiarized myself with AWB's functionalities through the English Wikipedia documentation and am confident it can significantly enhance my contributions. AWB automates repetitive tasks like adding citations, fixing formatting, and adding categories, freeing up my time to focus on higher-quality edits that require in-depth analysis and judgment. This will allow me to make more substantial contributions to English Wikipedia in a shorter timeframe.

AWB minimizes the risk of errors introduced by manual editing during repetitive tasks. This will be particularly helpful for tasks where even minor inconsistencies can be distracting or disrupt reader flow (e.g., quotation mark styles, bullet point formatting).

By granting me the rights to AWB, I will be able to dedicate more time and energy to utilizing tasks like improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of content, adding insightful references, and expanding on under-developed sections of articles.

Lastly, once I gain experience with AWB, I can potentially mentor other editors on using the tool responsibly. This will foster a collaborative environment and empower others to make efficient and positive contributions to English Wikipedia. JDQ Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 19:32, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

This text appears to have been written by a large language model. Could you please explain in your own words why you want AWB access and what you plan to do with it? * Pppery * it has begun... 03:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 Not done No response. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:42, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

User:MrBauer24

I have been helping out on Wikipedia for some time now, and I have become an active and trusted editor. I love helping out with "Wikignome" activities and have seen the features that AWB provides. After reading through the user manual, I feel that I could use it very effectively in order to do things such as fix common spelling mistakes and fix checkwiki errors.

I would love to be able to use this to help to make the editing process more efficient. Thank you so much. MrBauer24 (talk) 13:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

User:SamuelRiv

I used AWB a little bit several years ago before permissions were required. I will be using it again to do some quick maintenance on some templates I maintain or am working on, most immediately to update ((cite act)) and to restart work on related template projects discussed at WikiProject Law. I also have a request in at Commons, where I also do template maintenance. In addition, I do an awful lot of citation cleanup on articles, and while I apparently found AWB wasn't too helpful a tool years ago, it seems better now. SamuelRiv (talk) 20:27, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

User:IgnatiusofLondon

After I write or expand an article (see my userpage for lists of such articles), another editor routinely comes along to clean up my typos and minor messes for me. I'd like to trial using AWB to see if it can help me avoid making typos and other small mistakes in the first place. Thanks! IgnatiusofLondon (he/him☎️) 01:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting confirmed rights, I've tried to recover my old account https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Johnathen04, because I accidentally clicked log out button and since then, I cannot no longer access it, even when I requested a new password. I've made 38 edits and It's more than 10 days old So then I created new account https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Johnathen2004. Could you someone please accept my reason to get permission to get Confirmed? Johnathen2004 (talk) 06:20, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Unless you can login from Johnathen04 and confirm with an edit (using that account) that this request is indeed legitimate, then no we cannot do that.

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

User:Shashwat986

I have been tagging and flagging new pages for a long time, but with a lot of infrequency. However, since I'm unable to mark a page as patrolled, I'm not able to help reduce the workload on the rest of the editors here. With this permission, whenever I'm looking into new pages, I'll be able to make more of a difference. Shashwat986talk 07:04, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

 Automated comment This user has 372 edits in the mainspace. MusikBot talk 07:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
My edits are lower than the threshold of 500, but that is due to my work on New Pages. As a result of my work, I have over 1200 edits in User_talk pages (implying around 800 pages successfully deleted). If the 500 is still a hard-cutoff, I withdraw my request. Shashwat986talk 09:12, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
@Shashwat986: It's flexiblish, but explicitly doesn't include deleted edits – we're looking for people with experience improving articles as well as deleting them. I can see that you were quite active in new page and CSD patrolling in 2010–13, but since then you've been almost completely inactive. Welcome back! The CSD are basically the same as they were then, but the kind of new pages we see has changed quite a lot, as have community expectations on sourcing, notability, etc.
Based on your prior experience, I'd be willing to grant you the right despite not meeting the formal criteria (with the usual one-month trial period), but could you please first confirm that you've familiarised yourself with the current guidelines at WP:NPP? – Joe (talk) 18:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Hmm, though I have to say Moneyview gives me pause. Could you explain what prompted you to write that article and where you found the sources? – Joe (talk) 09:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm working in the financial technology sector in India, and I've done a lot of research in the field. I was planning to start with Moneyview, since I've used the app a lot more, and there was a draft page to jump-off of. The plan was to write articles on many more companies in this space, since it seems underrepresented on Wikipedia. I'm realising, after creating the article, that it's coming off a lot as WP:PAID, which is understandable, but inaccurate. Shashwat986talk 04:26, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Pbritti

Requesting a trial period of a month or less (dealer's choice) to address the backlog. I was previously granted this permission last summer but resigned them after a request to do so stemming from my repeated draftification of articles on potentially notable subjects that were created by disruptive editors (a more detailed accounting of that can be found in the discussion that took place on my talk page). Essentially, I wouldn't do that again, instead following the current NPP best-practices of leaning on more procedural alternatives like PROD, AfD, and improvement tags. I have a good amount of experience in AfC, have participated in a decent number of AfDs, and have a strong track record with my own article creations. I can provide additional context or affirmations of understanding of the current NPP standards as requested. I would prefer a trial period of at least two week so that my use of the permission can be observed and critiqued with enough examples. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:47, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

User:14 novembre

I meet the criteria with a very large margin, and have a significant experience in the areas requested.

User:ToadetteEdit

After hearing that there will be a new backlog drive in May, I would like to reduce the very high backlog drive. Although I am theoretically ineligible until June (I've had a 3mo partial block), the pblock is too unrelated to content editing, deletion processes and AfC, and my behavior has changed since then. If the pblock is still a red flag, please let me know. Thanks for considering my application. Toadette (Let's talk together!) 07:15, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Jtrrs0

I've got some experience at AfD, both participating and nominating. I have also written one article which was approved at AfC and got C-rated. I also have relevant experience in anti-vandalism, which shows I always try to be friendly to newcomers and I am always open to being corrected. I'd obviously be happy to have it granted on a trial basis. Jtrrs0 (talk) 17:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm requesting page mover rights for myself. I plan on using it to address page move vandalism and for other non-controversial tasks, such as moving articles created in the wrong namespace or draftification.

My page mover rights were revoked due to my inactivity, and I applied to have them reinstated in February.

User:Waylon111

Here's the criteria I have for being a Pending Changes Reviewer:

1. I have a account 3 years old (although I have started picking up editing beginning November 2023)

2. I think I have a good editing history, and a good track record.

3. I understand what's vandalism and what isn't (accidentally misspelling a word during your edit is in good faith, but doing things like changing the date of a movie from 2024 to 1956 is vandalism)

4. I know the basic policies, WP:BLP, WP:V, WP:!, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV.

5. I know that you cannot violate the Copyright policy. (WP:C)

6.I understand the guidelines on reviewing.

But, you may ask, why do I want this permission? My answer is, to help people out on Wikipedia. If someone makes a edit that might not be correct, I could correct them on their edit. And I would like to use this tool to help "implode vandals", as the cool kids say. :) Waylon (he was here) (Does my editing suck? Let's talk.) (Also, not to brag, but...) 03:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Just a suggestion, but continually republishing your request will make your request go through slower, not faster. Also, if the bot is wrong, let it be wrong. TheTechie (formerly Mseingth2133444) (t/c) 16:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

User:Sunnyboi18

Hi, I'm requesting permissions to Review Pending Changes for a few reasons, and hope ya'll will consider me. First, I've made 600+ Edits, including many of signifigance to multiple pages on various different Social/Historical topics. Second, I've extremely rarely ever had my edits reverted and that's been due to someone feeling my citation was not the best, but I've not had any major compliants. Third, I vote in the Picture of the Year & Arbitration Committee Election, and I'm familiar with WP Guidelines and Copyright. And I just enjoy getting to help have accurate and up to date information on Wikipedia, considering how many folks use this for information. And I'd be more than willing to take on the responsiblity of helping to ensure that continues and is done well. And I'd just like to thank whoever is taking the time to read this and hope to hear back soon, and thank you work that you do, you're the reason Wikipedia is sucessful :).

User:FortunateSons

I care about our encyclopaedic purpose, and allowing newer users to contribute is important to ensure the longevity of the project and a productive participation by new editors.

Throughout my time on Wikipedia, I regularly and actively used talk pages as well as projects and the RS noticeboard, and have shown an ability to understand and apply policy.

I have actively edited in the past and intend to do so in the future.

Receiving this right would allow me to assist in improving the project.

Hi there,
The first example you wasn't a case of vandalism, but a decision based on grammatical wording. If that too requires a talkpage notice, then I'd be happy to do so going forward :)
The other two examples you give though are correct. Prior to March 26, I was spotty with my warning of users for their vandalism, or my notification of other matters. There's no excuse for skipping such actions, and will be more diligent going forward. If it would be better, should I make another request near the end of April when I have demonstrated a more consistent track record?
Sincerely,

I am disinclined to grant this; it was suggested to you that you should have this permission but I don't really see any evidence of you needing it. While you have made more than the indicated two TPERs (I count 5-6), they are simple/trivial updates and thus I have not added them into the guideline count. In other words: are you simply making this request because someone said you should, or do you think you actually need this permission? Primefac (talk) 13:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
