New (Jan)
- I´ve been active on Wikipedia for more than 3 years now and have worked on WP:NETH and WP:DEORPHAN, acquiring experience with PROD and AfD. I have created articles mainly on the Dutch Wikipedia but also on the english and spanish sites. I am convinced Wikipedia is a very important tool for research and source of information. I would like to do more to maintain Wikipedia and I would like to help others to start writing articles. I made a first (for now) unsuccessful attempt to become a New Page Reviewer and I hope that participating in the AfC process will be my next step to become a better Wikipedian.

- Done. Primefac (talk) 08:45, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- I think I meet the criteria, and would like to help review new pages in AfC. I've had experience going through the AfC process, with drafts both denied (for notability) and accepted (notable acceptances include Boris Sirpo and John A. Speziale).

Not done, fails minimum criteria. Primefac (talk) 08:38, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- I have good AfD participation and vandalism experience. I'd love to start to lighten the load for AfC reviewers. I took a glance at the recent AfC requests, did some cleanup editing on them, but a lot of them have problems that I think will be important to point out for those who submit the drafts. Thank you in advance for your consideration! TLA (talk) 11:53, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Not done, fails minimum criteria. Primefac (talk) 13:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Thank you for the review. So, to clarify, the 500 edit requirement needs to be on mainspace articles?
- I think it may be a bit early indeed for this, so I'll continue editing for a bit and re-apply. TLA (talk) 19:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Correct, 500 mainspace edits. LittlePuppers (talk) 20:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Re-applying, as have 500+ mainspace edits. Per the above, and I'm frankly a little bit disappointed with the amount of questionable / lack of references here (many editors aren't super aware of the obscure paid markings, see this) so a chunk of my editing career so far has been dedicated to that. AfC is definitely a process that would really help with this notability policy. TLA (talk) 05:20, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- (Non-administrator comment): I'm tla, of your 1,000 edits, over 800 have been in the last day and a half, including 50 nominations at AfD. I'm just concerned that this is a bit fast - even while making a lot of edits, time is also helpful for gaining experience. Also, out of curiosity, how are you finding so many articles to nominate so quickly?

- Hi, thanks for the comment. You're right about it being a bit fast, but I like to say I'm a fast learner and am aware of the notability requirements. I typically go through WP:WikiProject_Unreferenced_articles, look at film festivals (which have a pattern of not having WP:GNG sources), search up deprecated sources. TLA (talk) 05:51, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Not done, again, because you do not meet the requirements. You did not meet the numerical requirements yesterday, and smashing through 500 article-space gnoming edits (so many of which are wrong or unnecessary I stopped looking) does not demonstrate that you understand the notability guidelines. Nor does voting in 161(!!) AFDs in 24 hours. At this point in time I simply don't trust that you have good intentions. Do not come back for a while. Primefac (talk) 07:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Just saw the enormous backlog, therefore, to help. User4edits (talk) 05:24, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Probation, which will be evaluated in 3-6 months. Being on probation only means that you can be removed from the list for any reason without prior discussion. Primefac (talk) 10:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Completed a one-month new page patrol trial that included AFC rights, where I contributed to several AFC decisions and worked with some authors to improve the article to a standard of notability. Authored over 100 articles and developed 6 articles to a GA standard. Historically have been involved in AfD and PROD discussions and decisions in the WP:VG project space.

- Hi, after helping new users with creating their first articles, I would like to have the permission to also review other articles created by new users. I'm hoping to help clear the backlog, at least in my area (computer science), to avoid discouraging prospective new users with turnaround times that are too long. --a3nm (talk) 16:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC) a3nm (talk) 16:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

- I'm requesting to become a participant as I sometimes come across AFC nominations when reviewing possible copyright violations over at CopyPatrol and from new users I see at UAA and reviewing when I'm already on the draft makes only sense. I'd also like to participate in backlog drives. I have read and understood the Reviewing instructions. I have a decent understanding of our notability guidelines. I have experience with CSD (and a little with AFD and PROD). Nobody (talk) 06:48, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Done. Primefac (talk) 10:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- I want to review articles for creation. I have experience in AfD, know notability criteria and know which sources can be considered reliable. Deltaspace42 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Done. Primefac (talk) 10:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- I have been registered on Wikipedia since 2018, have participated in a number of AfDs historically. I have created and contributed to a number of articles I consider good quality so I am familiar with how to properly source & reference articles. I am very familiar with notability guidlines, including special ones for people, organisations and etc.
- As of today, I have hit 509+ live edits.
- I have reviewed new pages and nominated bad ones for speedy deletion in the past. I would like to take a kind approach AfCs to help new users become valuable contributors for articles that have potential but are missing certain qualities needed to be on Wikipedia. Mr vili (talk) 23:53, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Mr vili, the requirements for AfC state 500 mainspace edits. LittlePuppers (talk) 03:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Oh my apologies. I guess I've got a long way to go then Mr Vili talk 03:13, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Not done per the above. Primefac (talk) 10:14, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- I was quite an active reviewer during 2021-2022, but I ended up taking an extended hiatus throughout 2023 because it just so happens that life throws things at you and there's little you can do about it. But I'm back now and would like to slowly ease back into my previous capacities here! nearlyevil665 12:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC) nearlyevil665 12:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

- I would like to have this user right as it seems a good way to help the encyclopedia. I have 12000+ edits, have been active for about a year, and successfully submitted 5 articles to AfC with no rejections. I believe I have a decent grasp on deletion policy which is evidenced by my contributions in the AfD process. Thanks! PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:40, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- Would like to review Articles for Creation. I am confident that I am familiar enough with Wikipedia policy to do so. Professor Penguino (talk) 10:46, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
