This impressive accomplishment highlights his expertise and dedication. Primarily, he focuses on biographies of sportspersons and politicians, demonstrating a strong understanding of these subjects. Additionally, he treats fellow editors with respect and professionalism. Thank you! Jannatulbaqi (talk) 14:23, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) Though all the articles they have created cover notable subjects, almost all of them are missing a talk page, which are then created by NPPs. Some older articles are missing default sort, DMY formatting and very short articles do not need multiple sections; rather, they should be consolidated into a single Life or Career section.

- Thanks, Jeraxmoira, for chipping in. Comments like yours are much appreciated as it makes our job easier. I've looked over the last six articles created by Davidindia and DEFAULTSORT is no longer an issue; keep it up, Davidindia! The date format used is yyyy-mm-dd and that is acceptable as long as it's just for references. Davidindia, given that you write Indian bios, could you please include the template
{{Use dmy dates}}
and place it underneath the short description? That'll make the dates display correctly for the reader. One thing that will definitely have to change is to include an unreferenced year of birth, as that's a violation of WP:BLP. Can you please go back over your recent bios and add references, or remove the year of birth (and respective category), and commit yourself to not having this recur in future, Davidindia? Another issue is that you create references with the Visual Editor and that requires that you check that it comes up with sensible author names as often, it does not. For example, with C. Manpon Konyak, this shows up as a refencing error (in this case, simply remove|last=Bureau |first=ABP News
from the reference as those are obviously not first and last names.) I have only come across short articles with two headings and to my mind, that is not excessive. I agree that it's useful if you could create a talk page. For a politician, simply copy what is shown at Talk:C. Manpon Konyak and adjust thelistas
parameter so that it matchesDEFAULTSORT
. Does that sound ok, Davidindia? Schwede66 23:42, 6 November 2024 (UTC)- Thanks a lot for all the suggestions. I will go back and flag these issues in my earlier articles. Will try to learn fast. All 'year of births' are referenced in the career section. I will try to re use the ref. in the intro. Have recently installed Rater and trying to learn the nitty gritty of talk pages. Of late, copy pasting talk and adjusting Listas. Will use dmy dates, which is a simple thing... thanks for the review and all the suggestions. Best regards!

- Done Given your commitment to improve, and your great rate of article creation, I've temporarily assigned autopatrolled. It'll expire in mid-December. Come back here before then and I, or someone else, will have another look. If all is clean, the tag will then go permanent.Schwede66 08:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

I am requesting autopatrolled rights as I have a strong understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, particularly those concerning biographies of living persons and notability. Over the past five years, I have actively contributed by combating vandalism and ensuring articles adhere to these guidelines. Additionally, I have created 60 articles that align with Wikipedia's standards.--— MimsMENTOR talk 11:04, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- Not done While you've created 60 articles according to Xtools, all of them do not align with Wikipedia's standards. 11 of them have been deleted, and while the last deletion was in 2022, the article Miss Diva 2024 was created in October 2024 and between the promotional wording and sourcing issues (including using a forum as a source), I think it would be a good idea to have NPP continue to review newly created articles for the time being. - Aoidh (talk) 01:58, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

I respectfully request autopatrol and patrol rights based on my experience and contributions to Wikipedia. With over 12 months of experience, I have created more than 54 articles and improved over 20 others, demonstrating my commitment and dedication to the community. Granting my request will help streamline the New Page Patrol process, enabling pages to be efficiently marked as "reviewed" and "patrolled" in the system. Additionally, my experience has established my trustworthiness. Granting me these rights will enable me to contribute even more efficiently and effectively. Thank you for considering my request.

- Royalesignature, I'm going to edit your last article (Olufemi Oluyede), one issue at a time, to show you what needs to improve. Schwede66 03:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your swift response Royalesignature (talk). 04:03, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Not done Even without finding a copyvio (the article is now in draft space), I wouldn't have assigned autopatrolled. This is a tag for editors who produce clean articles. With the number of issues that I had to fix, you are quite a way off from becoming autopatrolled. Schwede66 04:19, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your honest feedback. I appreciate the time you took to review my article and provide constructive criticism. I understand that my work still requires improvement to meet the standards for autopatrolled status. I will take your comments into consideration and strive to enhance my writing skills and attention to detail. Please know that I am committed to producing high-quality content and will continue to work towards achieving the autopatrolled designation. If there are specific areas you would like me to focus on or resources you recommend for improvement, please let me know. I value your guidance and look forward to continuing to learn and grow as a contributor. Royalesignature (talk). 04:23, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking it well (not everyone does). I suppose we are here to improve the performance of editors when that's required. Happy to help you grow. Schwede66 08:14, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I am here again with another editor who has created 86 articles, including BLPs. One of their creations was taken to AfD but resulted in a keep. I reviewed some of their articles and found that adding them to the AP could be beneficial. Basic checks were done, and no major issues were found. It’s up to you, and thanks!
