User:ToBeFree

[edit]
I would like to apply for probation, for 100 decisions instead of a time limit. During the last few months, I have helped users with their drafts at #wikipedia-en-help, and I have used the "Copypatrol" tool to identify copyright violations, often in the draft namespace. Pure violations appear as red links in my CSD log; I am unsure how to provide a list of the revision deletions. Via IRC, Snowycats has offered me mentoring as an introduction to the AfC process.
  • In the first phase of the mentoring, Snowycats will provide links to un-processed revisions of drafts that he has previously declined or accepted. Without having a look at the history, I will tell Snowycats via IRC how I would have decided, and why.
  • In the second phase of the mentoring, I will send draft links to Snowycats. Snowycats will check my decisions before I make them on Wikipedia.
  • If both phases have been successful, Snowycat will likely drop supervision for the last part of the 100 decisions.
I will not use the AfC helper script without supervision unless Snowycats has allowed me to do so in phase 2. I have read through the reviewing instructions, the on-wiki documentation of the helper script, and the extended documentation page in the "afch-rewrite" GitHub repository.
After 100 decisions, I'll report back here. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:39, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: I verify that I have offered ToBeFree informal mentorship as a possible new reviewer at AFC. He has demonstrated a high understanding of the instructions for reviewing drafts and has asked appropriate questions on the parts that seemed confusing. I believe he will make a great addition to help with the AFC backlog. If there needs to be further discussion, I can frequently be found on AFC and will check back here if pinged. Thank you!

I was previously declined cause of my afc draft (already solved) , speed CSD tag (which was my mistake & i won't do that again as i have taken care of it and i didn't wanted to bite new editors). I am active in afd and active in new article creation too. If you feel i'm eligible you can grant me this right and i'll help to contribute more regarding article for creation.

 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) 16:14, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:SyndicaterUI78

[edit]
I would like to be an AfC reviewer because I have met the criteria as I have 500 edits on my edit count, my Wikipedia account is approximately 2.42 years old, I have thoroughly read the instructions and guidelines for AfC reviewing, and I have made notes.

Also, I apologize for stupid things I have done in the past, and I have created many drafts that have been declined. I'll promise to try my best in AfC reviewing. Everyone makes mistakes! :)

Thank you for your decision on this request. ShadowFreddy1987 (talk) 02:49, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Not done with 339 edits to mainspace [1] you don't yet meet the minimum requirements. 500 Mainspace edits, not total edits is the bare minimum experience. I suggest extensive participation at AfD and MfD and another couple hundred article edits before requesting AfC again. Good luck and thanks for your interest in AfC.

 Not done for now. AFC is not a place to get experience, and based on the issues posted on your talk page recently (which include issues related to CSD, article creation, AFD, and civility) I do not feel comfortable granting you access at this time. Primefac (talk) 15:44, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I was busy with other stuff lately but you made a right call, I will not getting anymore issues relating to WP:AfD and WP:CSD because I am trying to get more experience around the area whenever is or no consensus. Before I finish, if you want to grant the AfC rights without disappointment that I starting new articles more than would be happy for you if you don't mind.

I am a user for more than 10 years now and can surely help to review drafts. Anaxagoras13 (talk) 21:15, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Anaxagoras13, hope you're doing well. Your contributions are appreciated and we would be eager to get you to review drafts at the soonest. While it is not mandatory, AfC reviewers are encouraged to have a significant understanding of our deletion policies. As I don't see any AfD or CSD or Prod participation, could you point me to examples that may repose confidence in us that you have such understanding? AfC reviewing also requires good-faith communication, if not good communication. I'm taking a few examples from the very recent edits. Here, you've dismissed a valid discussion from Sportsfan 1234 with the statement "Stop your nonsense". Here, here and in some other Undo edits, you've reverted the edit without providing an explanation to the IP (or without warning them if it was vandalism). Again, it is not mandatory to do all this; but for AfC reviewers, such a bent is desirable. I'm open to providing you the reviewer status if you give some support to the queries I have asked. Alternatively, I'll request you to edit for around 2-3 months more gaining some experience in AfD/CSD/Prod and also in ensuring that your communication channel is clear, especially when reverting. You can reapply then after 2-3 months, if you feel you've gained satisfactory experience. Thanks, Lourdes 02:42, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw the request.--Anaxagoras13 (talk) 15:34, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting so I can quickly decline AfC's that Blantantly fail and have been created by new users to stop wasted submissions. RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 21:35, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
RhinosF1, I like your work and your speed. I know what you mean by saying you want to "quickly decline AfCs..." but it may give an impression to most that you're a man in hurry – that's probably not what should come out, especially given your otherwise excellent work. As you've just now started nominating userpages under the CSD criteria and have less than a handful AfD !votes, would you want to first get some more experience in the CSD/AfD/Prod areas before becoming an AfC reviewer? Probably a fortnight to a month more? Do reach out to me if you need any clarification about this response. Warmly, Lourdes 03:22, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Lourdes: Thank you for your kind words, I understand I don't have much experience with AfDs. I'd like to clarify 'quickly decline' which by that I mean remove AfC submissions that don't meet criteria and I spot created by new users that are promotional or lack sufficient content quicker than manually finding which comment to use and then tagging as declined, notifying the user and then applying CSD tags etc. RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 09:08, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I think you are a little too enthusiastic, leading to oddities like Spoka (where you nominated a page for deletion and then voted to keep it). You have much to learn, and I would also prefer to see you gain more experience before re-applying. Primefac (talk) 21:35, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I apologise for that mess. RhinosF1(chat)(status)(contribs) 21:41, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kb03

[edit]
I would like to become an AfC participant to help ease the 7-week backlog. As this would be my first time doing AfC work I would ask for probation at first to see what it's like. I used to do New Page Review and since I frequently saw tie-ins between the two, I thought I'd give this a shot. I have previously applied for AfC here which was declined by @Lourdes:. I feel like I have improved since then and have done what was recommended. Kb03 (talk) 16:25, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Gaelan

[edit]
I've been doing RC patrol on and off for a while now, and I'd love to help with AfC. I'd say my main weak areas are CSD and the specific notability guidelines, but I'm confident I could pick up on those as I go. Gaelan 💬✏️ 20:16, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Gaelan for applying. We're eager to get you to quickly join the AfC reviewing club. Your rollbacking work is very credible. Thank you for that too. You've been inactive for many years and became active only in January (after starting editing in November, absent in December, back in January... so on). Would you want to probably dabble for a month in CSD/Prod/AfD before reapplying here? Experience in deletion policies will be really helpful. What do you say? Thanks, Lourdes 03:12, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Lourdes fair enough, will do. Gaelan 💬✏️ 03:18, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:WallabyWombat

[edit]
I was really surprised at the backlog and I would like to help out. I feel like I have a very good grasp on Wikipedia policies such as Neutral POV, BLP, TMI, etc. I routinely do anti-vandalism work on Wikipedia, so I can be pretty confident about what belongs on Wikipedia and what doesn't. Thanks for your consideration! WallabyWombatLet's Talk! 10:28, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi WallabyWombat. Thanks for applying. It would be wonderful to have you join the AfC brigade. Quick question: Have you read Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants? If not, do give it a quick read. You have less than 500 undeleted article edits (one criteria). Further, while you are upping the edit count, it would be a good time to check out our deletion policy. We'll eagerly await your re-application once you have met the Afc minimum criteria. Warmly, Lourdes 12:18, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hiwilms

[edit]
This would further expand my experience here in Wikipedia as an editor. I'm always looking forward to finding new ways to contribute. Hiwilms (talk) 09:31, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is good to know Hiwilms. I notice that you have little article creation experience. I also am not able to trace any CSDs/Prods you might have tagged (as this provides us evidence of your understanding of our deletion policy). You neither have any experience at AfD. You do have the new page reviewer bit but have not reviewed any page till date. Would you want to perhaps gain a bit of experience in areas related to CSD/Prod/AfD or probably in reviewing pages for a month or so and reapply here after that? Gaining such experience would help you significantly during AfC reviewing. Tell me what you think. Lourdes 11:42, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Turn on your CSD and Prod tracking under Preferences. Then you and everyone else can see your accuracy rate like this User:Legacypac/CSD_log at User:Hiwilms/CSD_log You can start by helping to tag spam and other wholly unsuitable pages within AfC pending and declines found at Category:Declined AfC submissions Keeping junk out is as big a part as accepting the good at AfC Legacypac (talk) 02:07, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I don't think the page curation log is functioning well. I have reviewed many articles already using the page curation toolbar and it is not reflecting on the log. Anyway, I'll take your (Lourdes) advice and engage myself more on deletion. Thanks! --Hiwilms (talk) 17:03, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hiwilms, I've now rectified the page curation log and checked your contributions for curation. You've been at the curation desk for around 5 days or so; so yes, it'll be great that you re-apply in a month after gaining more experience in curation/deletion-related areas. Warmly, Lourdes 03:48, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural  Not done, with no prejudice against a reapplication in a month or so. Lourdes 03:48, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bot approved, closing extended (in humour) discussion
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Please add my bot to the "bots" section per Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/DannyS712 bot 3. I personally already have access to the script, but the bot just removes categories from drafts, and I want it documented as helping with the process (no plans on actually running the bot and having it use the script). Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:45, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lourdes: Lol you really got me there (its hard to convey tone through text, but this isn't meant to be sarcastic; that legitimately just made my day) --DannyS712 (talk) 01:56, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Lourdes: but what I meant was to ask if it could be listed under the "Active bots" section, not the "Active reviewers" section --DannyS712 (talk) 01:58, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
DannyS712, I wouldn't want to do that. If you've seen Solo: A Star Wars Story, there's no need to be bitey and call a bot a bot, leave alone classify them as such. As mentioned above, hope your bot gets some AfD experience soon. Lourdes 02:29, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Lourdes: I fully understand. It would be against policy to implement my suggestion. Unfortunately, I haven't yet had the opportunity to see Solo: A Star Wars Story - could you send me some info about its plot? Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 02:33, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not unless you want me to shift your name from ‘’active reviewers’’ to ‘’active bots’’... Lourdes 02:46, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Lourdes: Are you accusing me of being a WP:MEATBOT? --DannyS712 (talk) 03:20, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I strongly suspect of both you and the bot being one and the same person. Lourdes 05:23, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User since 2012, over 8000 edits, work for a chapter and want to try reviewing so I understand the process and can encourage other editors to give it a go. --Jwslubbock (talk) 18:05, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Jwslubbock, I don't see 8000 edits, only over 1500 edits. Am I missing something here (some other user name perhaps)? We want you to quickly join the AfC review corps. The standards to become a reviewer are quite minimal (you can seem them here); but we look forward to some evidence of the reviewer understanding deletion policies – their CSD/PROD/AfD participation is a great indicator. As I can't seem to be able to view any significant contribution by you in the CSD/PROD/AfD area, would you be able to point me in the right direction where I can confirm you understand our deletion policies? Alternatively, you can probably indulge in these deletion areas, nominating pages or AfCs (focusing on spam) for deletion or !voting in AfDs for around a fortnight or a month and come back thereon to reapply. Does that sound okay to you? Warmly, Lourdes 00:33, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have around 8000 total edits to all Wikimedia projects. I'm sure you can see the breakdown of which projects these are spread over in my user contributions. I've not contributed specifically to AfD, but I have been a Wikimedian since 2012, have done significant volunteering, am a staff member of Wikimedia UK since 2016 and write most of the outreach material for the chapter, which often necessitates a good understanding of policies. As an editor, I'm mostly a creator of new articles, so I have had quite a lot of experience from that side of having my articles reviewed, and almost never get articles I write proposed for deletion. Jwslubbock (talk) 18:13, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I understand Jwslubbock. Your contributions across the project are appreciated; however, your contributions at the English Wikipedia are what matter in our assessment. I'm adding you to the reviewer list based on your good faith volunteering and my common sense. I should request you to necessarily read up the Deletion policy and understand every aspect of it before initiating reviewing. And of course, don't miss the reviewing instructions. Thanks for volunteering and do reach out for any assistance.

 Not done You have just 8 edits in the last two years and 24 edits the year before that. I'm concerned that you don't have a current good handle on notability and deletion process. Turn on your CSD log in preferences, CSD some junk and participate at WP:AFD and WP:MFD, then feel free to reapply in a few weeks so we can confirm you have the right experience. Another useful way to participate to start is to look at pending AfC pages and CSD the spam ones, which will help our backlog. Cheers Legacypac (talk) 04:09, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Thank-you for your interest here but I don't believe you have enough related experience to be successful in this area just yet. You have just over 500 mainspace edits (the bare minimum) and zero WP:AfD participation for example. I've not looked at WP:MFD stats but I've never seen you there before. Please get some experience at deletion discussions and in the area of WP:CSD. Turn on your CSD and PROD logs in Preferences please so you and others can track your activity in these areas. Feel free to reapply when you have some experience in deletion process for that is critical to understand how to handle drafts. Cheers. Legacypac (talk) 01:49, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm one of Wikipedia's earliest members, with about 30,000 edits. I've been editing since 2005, with many hundreds of quality articles created, mostly on linguistics. I would like to help out with AfC in order to improve Wikipedia's quality. Also, I have carefully read the relevant Wikipedia pages on CSD, AfD, PROD, etc., and have thoroughly read the AfC reviewing instructions. I will be continuing to learn as much as I can about the AfC process in order to help assess quality content for Wikipedia. — Stevey7788 (talk) 22:11, 13 March 2019 (UTC) — Stevey7788 (talk) 22:11, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Great AfD stats. Make sure your CSD log is turned on in Preferences User:Stevey7788 and gain some experience there and at WP:MFD where we send a lot of unsuitable drafts. A lot of what we do here is keep out bad content so experience with what gets deleted and why is very important Should be good to add to the reviewer list as far as I can see. Legacypac (talk) 01:54, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Done per Legacypac's assessment. Steve, all of your AfD participation of recent times has been in the past two days, after a gap of 15 years; nevertheless, my review shows very sensible and guideline supported arguments. That works in your favour too. Please follow what Legacypac mentions above. Reach out for any assistance. Thanks, Lourdes 12:24, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks everyone. I'll be sure to reach out for help if I'm not sure about something. I'm totally aware that it takes a huge amount of discretion to tread that fine line between reckless inclusionism and reckless deletionism, so I'll take it easy at first and do this carefully. — Stevey7788 (talk) 17:19, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Over 11,000 edits, several hundred edits on Commons, and very interestingly seems to know Arabic (a useful skill for assessing some drafts). On the other hand, only 4 edits to AfD and no CSD or PROD log to check. Please turn on your CSD and PROD logs in Preferences and spend some time at WP:AfD and WP:MFD to show competence on deletion process. You can help AfC immediately by G11 CSDing advertising in the AfC pending lists to reduce the backlog while getting familiar with the flow of drafts and how we handle them. Legacypac (talk) 00:17, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the advice, Legacypac. I've had a good look for a place to turn on these logs in my preferences and I can't find it. I've had a look at the help pages and done some Googling too, and haven't worked it out. Can you give a more precise pointer for how to turn on these logs? Ta!

  • Hi there! I've been doing quite a lot at Articles for Deletion over the last week or so, as you'll see from my articles for deletion log. I hope you will feel that my contributions to those discussions show my competence as a reviewer. I have to confess that I can't bring myself to put my time into deleting harmless but non-notable work, and this is why I haven't nominated anything for deletion. (This is one reason why I decided that, personally, I'd rather be a reviewer, helping people to get work up to standard rather than hunting for things to delete.) I'd like to note additionally that out of the 456 Wikipedia articles I have created, only 8 have been deleted: and those deletions are mostly to do with redirects, and the deleted pages have mostly been recreated. I believe that together, this track record demonstrates that I 'have a good understanding of the policies mentioned in the reviewing instructions, including the various special notability guidelines'. I would be grateful, then, if I could now be given permission to help people bring good new articles to Wikipedia that meet our notability criteria. Thanks!

[edit]
Dear reviewing administrator, I registered this account almost one year ago. Since then, I have created nearly forty articles and have been a significant contributor to 2 Good Articles (including 1 current Good Article Nominee) and one current Featured List Candidate, in addition to having 8 (soon to be 9) DYK credits to my name. I am applying to become a participant in the WikiProject Articles for Creation in order to help review potential new Wikipedia pages in a manner conforming with Wikipedia policies - to help address undesirable content in the most efficient fashion; to give advice to those whose submissions fall short of being suitable for Main space; and to help publish those submissions that are suitable. I have thoroughly read the Reviewing Instructions, and have a deep understanding of all relevant policies. If granted membership, I affirm that I will review pages solely on a volunteer basis and will never solicit or accept any form of compensation in exchange for reviews. Thanks in advance for your consideration, Zingarese talk · contribs 02:52, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Appears strong on content creation which is great. Limited AfD experience but very high match with conclusions. Got it wrong on a small time mayor but not a big deal. Very limited CSDs logged but at least the log is turned on. For a crash course on AfC I suggest going to Category:Declined_AfC_submissions and especially the Advertising tagged pages. Assess them yourself and if appropriate CSD G11 (90+% will be G11 worthy). You will quickly learn what we decline and will be doing a service by removing the pages from being resubmitted or needing to be tagged with a refundable G13 later. The blank, test and joke/hoax areas can also usually be CSD'd. The.n start working the que focussing on declines at first. AFC is different from writng FAs - we deal with spammers and newbies here, but you will find good pages to promote too. Ok to grant access to the tool, but recommend easing into reviewing as described.

Thanks User:QueerEcofeminist Legacypac (talk) 20:57, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just to say, Legacypac, that I'm a little concerned that a string of clearly experienced editors have recently come to this page and are being turned away because they haven't got enough of an AfD/CSD/etc. record, when that isn't actually one of the stated criteria for becoming a reviewer. I have a lot of respect for the work of QueerEcofeminist and would have thought her track record as an editor already shows she would be a good reviewer. I recognise that you're turning people away politely and inviting them to return, and I appreciate that you're being supportive. But I wonder if it would be helpful either to change the criteria for becoming a reviewer so that a need for an AfD track record is transparent, or to be more willing to recognise that people can show they meet the criteria in other ways? Thanks! Alarichall (talk) 13:12, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The requirements are listed on the mainpage of this talkpage and include:
  • reasonable evidence of understanding the deletion policy (experience in areas such as CSD/AfD/PROD or page curation, while not mandatory, are beneficial).
Perhaps we should tighten the requirements on deletion policy but if there is little experience at all in deletion how to show understanding? Legacypac (talk) 13:31, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Surely in this case User:QueerEcofeminist/CSD log alone shows a ready understanding of deletion policy? Meanwhile, of the user's 2,387 edits, 96.3% are live. That shows a good general understanding of what is and is not appropriate Wikipedia content. Obviously it's important that reviewers don't wave through lots of inappropriate content or put off newbie editors, but I worry that the gateway to being a reviewer is being made unnecessarily narrow. Alarichall (talk) 14:48, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(By the way, I see that the requirement 'reasonable evidence of understanding the deletion policy (experience in areas such as CSD/AfD/PROD or page curation, while not mandatory, are beneficial)' isn't actually listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation#How to get involved, where the criteria are a bit different from those listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants: it might be good to make these consistent? Alarichall (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2019 (UTC))[reply]
Legacypac, I believe the CSD log is good enough for the editor to be welcomed to the AfC group. If you are ok with it, I can get their name added on a probation basis. What do you say? Thanks, Lourdes 17:32, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Theoretically, I'm still on self-proposed probation. Somehow. My AfC reviewing tutor Snowycats is inactive since 9 weeks now, both on IRC and Wikipedia, and the second phase has not officially ended yet.
I have stumbled upon Draft:Mervyn Lebor, which I would like to decline for a lack of independent sources that describe the person in detail, and for having no indication that any of the WP:NACADEMIC criteria would apply. I would use the "prof" decline template text to do so.
Could someone confirm that carefully reviewing drafts is okay for me to do? Pinging Lourdes who had answered the original request.
I may be overly cautious here because I had asked someone else to adhere to the rules last month: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/2019_1#Unapproved_reviewer ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:25, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tagishsimon, as you probably know, dealing with AFC means dealing with a lot of people who have no idea what they're doing (or people who do know what they're doing and are hoping to pull a fast one).

I have read and understood the instructions.

Ffbond, there is no actual requirement for pages to go through AFC, and it would be seen as a rather large conflict of interest to review (as an AFC reviewer) the pages of students who you are mentoring. You are, of course, welcome to review the pages written by your students, but if that is the case I would recommend not using the AFC process.

Hatting non-admin review
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
I would suggest a probation of 40 reviews followed by another probation of two months, pending the results of which he can be permanently inducted.
No AfD experience and leaving about 20; all of those articles were produced way long back. The notability guidelines have changed a lot (esp. NCORP and NBIO) and I can't ascertain whether you are aware of the policy-changes and the current interpretation of them.
There's no recent patrolling -- maintenance-tagging and all that.
Your activity outside main/talk-space is very limited and that does not enable me to assess your communication-skills to a large extent. Of the few exchanges that I saw in the recent years, there's nothing of a red-flag, though.
At any case, I notice that you specialize in areas of art, songs, films, music et al and seem to have a very good grasp about the topics (notability, writing in an optimum manner and associated stuff) which leaves me impressed. So, as long as you stay within your comfort zone i.e assessing notability of topics, that are within your domain-of-expertise, we shall be fine enough.

Hatting non-admin review

I don't see much of experience in AfDs. Roughly, 50% of pages, created by you have been deleted.
This is a textbook-example of bite-y tagging and mis-interpretation of policy -- the title easily indicates the subject. And, you are slapping an A7 a single minute after creation, really?
This shows that you do not understand our notability policy; a subject is either notable or not and independent of the article-quality. More lack of understanding about our notability guidelines is evident from your handling of Hamari Bahu Silk. Half of the PROD-log is filled with tagging(s) on an assumption of notability being dependent on the current conditions of the article and doesn't exhibit the slightest evidence of an abidance by WP:BEFORE.
In a nutshell:- you are deleting stuff that is notable by a mile and introducing stuff that's non-notable.
These two threads are perfect examples of being a jerk -- wrong policy-wise and trying to be condescending, on top of that. Pathetic communication-skills. And, this is astonishing (to be mild) even if I exclude the bitey tagging.
To conclude, consider it as a warning to refrain from any further patrolling activities (including but not limited to moving drafts to mainspace, tagging PRODs and CSDs et al) for an undefined period of time, unless you can exhibit your competency. ∯WBGconverse 13:56, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping I could help get this backlog of articles cleared, and I'm looking to see what I can do to help out. Granted, the AFC list isn't miraculously disappear by adding me to the WikiProject, but I still would like to see what I can do. Always of service.

UtopianPoyzin (talk) 14:10, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some background; while I have been editing primarily video game article recently, a majority of my edits come into the chemistry/geology field. Because of this, many of the big article names have since been created, and there isn't much for me to add when it comes to new pages, hence my whopping page creation of 3 (according to xtools, but a wikipedia search of pages created by me shows more for some reason). Two of those were justly taken down by WP:BALL because I did not know where to stop, but I can assure you all that I do have a good understanding of the AfD rules, and speedy deletion criteria. UtopianPoyzin (talk) 14:27, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi UtopianPoyzin, thanks for applying. You current don't qualify under the minimum criteria listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants (e.g. you haven't reached 500 main space edits; and we would also need to see actual evidence of your understanding of the deletion policy). Therefore, I would suggest that you gain experience in areas like Page Curation, AfD, CSD, Prod and continue editing the way you are; and perhaps you can reapply in a couple of months? Does that sound okay? Warmly, Lourdes 17:19, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Whelp, I kind of just assumed that my edit count was the pages in mainspace, but it turns out I'm barely halfway. Well then, looks like I got a lot to go. How should I prove my understanding of the AfD criteria? I mean, I have participated there on a number of times, but how much is considered enough? (I was originally going to review the Draft:Micro_Saint_Sharp article, but then I realized that I should apply here. Am I still allowed to comment on the articles, or do I have to be a AfC participant to do that as well?) UtopianPoyzin (talk) 02:39, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We suggest that any editor wishing to review articles register here first; this is to ensure that there is at least a small control over the quality of reviews. Having said that, you can probably continue editing (reach the minimum edit count at least in main space); and continue your AfD participation. It's not just the number of AfDs (in pure numbers, I'll probably be looking at 10-20 more AfDs from your side to give a fair count), but the quality of your arguments in the AfD, which should provide evidence of understanding our notability guidelines and deletion policy. If you're up to it, have at it in the CSD/Prod/Curation fields, if those interest you. Thanks, Lourdes 04:10, 13 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Primefac, outing? I suppose you are talking about this incident. In this case, an editor was making edits at WP:DRN where they signed with a different username than their own (which was viewable in the history). In this case, I changed the filing editor as showed on DRN to their actual username. Because this username was (and still is) the username they have on Wikipedia, it isn't "personal information", because anyone could find the user's real username in the page history of WP:DRN. I do not know where you found any "BLP concerns". Could you link to the relevant section? --MrClog (talk) 16:36, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I didn't know they wanted their real username to be hidden, I thought it was some sort of mistake. --MrClog (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It was User_talk:MrClog/Archive_1#An_attempt_to_address_your_question. I didn't investigate it fully, which is why I haven't given a straight "yes or no" reply, but the wording made it sound like there were some BLP issues. Primefac (talk) 19:15, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Primefac, ah, that's not a BLP issue. I responded to a WP:3O at Talk:Appeal to nature. The editor that placed the message responded with That didn't address my concerns, but then you're a new editor. I then asked what he meant with that. He then responded with the message on my talk page. The section about BLP was copied from his standard welcome. Do note that in the RfC that followed, everyone except for themselves agreed with me (so it's not like I had some ridiculous opinion as a response to the 3O request). --MrClog (talk) 20:15, 25 May 2019 (UTC); edited 20:16, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • If this were a vote, I'd very strongly oppose it at this point, based on several areas of concern related directly to AFC, but also apparent hat collecting (+[5][6]) Viztors AFD stats are very, very poor and while not a requirement for AFC, it generally indicates suitable knowledge, which his/hers do not. A quick browse of their talk page, especially regarding their own noms reveals I am not alone in this. Additionally, you have only been active here for about a month and a half - which make up the bulk of your 1k edits on this project. I don't believe that is a good enough demonstration of experience. Praxidicae (talk) 17:33, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Not done for now. While I do appreciate the thousands of edits on other language projects, enwiki has a very different set of standards compare to pretty much everyone else. This disconnect can be seen, as mentioned above, primarily in your AFD experiences, but it indicates that you might not have as deep a knowledge of enwiki inclusion and deletion policies to make a good reviewer at this time. Please keep up the good work, and please re-apply when you've gotten some more enwiki experience. Primefac (talk) 15:02, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hi, Primefac. I'd like to ask for a re-evaluation after an additional month. I am active x-wiki and my recent AfD votes are more consistent with the community consensus. I do take a harder stance that what the consensus may eventually find, however, these votes are all well-reasoned based on policy, for example, I nominated Chop bar for deletion because I find no significant difference of it and other eatery and bar as Wikipedia is not a dictionary, however someone reminded me of other similar entities but have a separate article when there is only a small difference, hence I withdrawn the nomination; Other than these, most of the situations when my vote is not consistent with the final vote, they are of a close call. As much as I am trying to be more consistent with the conventions, some of these are simply not laid out straight in policies. Moreover in this case, I don't think that will be a particular problem, as we are to include articles and I don't think in any cases I will accept suspicious submission that may have negative impact on our overall content quality. In addition, I have worked to help new editors, adding sources to their articles etc. I feel I am more ready and hope to be helpful of the program, thank you.

Pinging Praxidicae; requesting her review. Lourdes 23:47, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't done a full check but I still stand by my original statement with regard to all the hat collecting etc...and am still pretty concerned about this. I also think that they need more experience. The only reason they meet the time requirement is because they happened to register an account several years ago, not because it was in use. These AFD percentages also don't inspire any confidence in me in their ability to determine suitable inclusion criteria. Praxidicae (talk) 00:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The only reason why there were questions and disputes on my talk page are because I actually use "these hats" I "collect" therefore I do not think there is reason to question my intention to use them. I also do not think that I "meet the time requirement" because of I happened to register an account is accurate, the requirement is only 90 days, and I was clearly active x-wiki for a lot more than that. As for the AfD stats, it doesn't take that much time to check for specific reasons where my argument do not match the result, I believe these arguments may not match the final decision but they are well-reasoned based on policy. In any case, you could say I am more strict, but I see no reason that will be bad for the AfC process per se. Viztor (talk) 00:21, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Steve, welcome back. It is good to have experienced editors support the AfC desk. We require that Afc reviewers have reasonable command over the deletion policy, amongst other things. In the time you have been away, our deletion policy has changed, perhaps not significantly, but enough to confuse someone who may have just come back. My suggestion is that you may involve yourself in CSD (and perhaps even Page Curation) or PROD areas for a fortnight or so, before taking up reviewing full-time.

 Not done. Thanks for applying. It is encouraging when relatively new editors apply to become Afc reviewers. However, we have a minimum and minimal bar; e.g. you need at least 500 main space (article) edits before we consider you. Please read AFCCRITERIA and apply back after gaining the same, and some more. If you need any help in the meanwhile, do reach out. Happy editing. Thanks. Lourdes 23:44, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Hello, I'm Utopes! A couple months ago, I petitioned myself for the role under the username UtopianPoyzin. After not meeting the criteria necessary at the time, with less than 500 mainspace edits, I was told I could reapply in a month or two after I had edited more often, and participated in more AfD discussions. As time progressed, I have been getting more edits under my belt at a consistent rate, and now have the necessary 500 mainspace edits. Additionally, I have been active in the areas of AfD, as well as RfD, which has allowed me to further my understanding of the deletion policy. Following my first application for AfC, I joined the Recent Changes Patrol and gained Rollbacker and Pending Changes rights, and gained all-around editing experience over these last couple months. All-in-all, I believe I have met the requirements that User:Lourdes provided from my AfC application 2 months ago. I still would like to help tackle the backlog of AfC articles that need reviewing.

You're already on the list, but apparently never got checked at the end of the probationary period.

I have been looking for a way to help out, and to that end, requested pending changes reviewer right some time ago. But that one, turns out, has low to non-existent backlog problems. I spend my time at the Teahouse, and an issue that keeps coming up is the AfC backlog (2/3 months?). When I get stressed out in my primary focus area (Nepal-related articles), I would like to look at some drafts and help out, as I particularly enjoy assisting new editors. I also have some experience handling promotional, COI, sockpuppet related cases. I think there is enough data in my article creations history as well as CSD, AfD participation to make an assessment about my intentions to contribute positively, treatment of fellow editors, cautiousness and passing competence. My article creation history, I think, shows the rate of improvement in my understanding of notability guidelines and RSes (worst case when starting out was Nawaraj Subba). I would start out very cautiously. I don't know all the guidelines but I know GNG and I know SNG's exist and certainly can check the relevant SNG for the page I come across, and guidelines on reconciling the two. I can follow instructions well enough, more so when the anticipated impact is substantial. Thanks! Usedtobecool ✉️ ✨ 08:04, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little concerned about your edits as well as your understanding of several policies. As an example, you created Machayenge very shortly after Emiway Bantai and it's variations had been deleted (repeatedly, and after several socks were involved.) But aside from that rather suspect creation, the sources you used were almost all completely unreliable or do not otherwise indicate notability. The sourcing in your own work as well as your lack of AFD participation do not leave me confident you understand the criteria yet. Also almost all of your speedy deletion noms are g13, so from a standpoint of being able to assess your ability to discern what content is and isn't appropriate, i'm just not seeing it. Also only 11% of your contribs are to mainspace, the bulk are in user talk. Praxidicae (talk) 20:46, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for offering your time here. I am inclined to add you. Please first clarify why do you believe many administrators have unreviewed the pages you have marked as patrolled. Warmly, Lourdes 16:55, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm kind of curious too about the answer given the prominance of the users who've done it. However, I will note that it appears this has happened six times the last last 365 days while he has reviewed a total of 11,899 articles meaning .0005 (or .05%) of all his articles have been unreviewed. Our most prolific reviewer Onel has had 23 out of 35,277 or .0006 (.06%) unreviews. I appear to have 3 out of 4137 or .0007 (.07%) and I can tell you that in two of those cases I definitely shouldn't have been unreviewed (1 was an accident, the other was by a reviewer who didn't know current policy about marking deletions). So while I remain curious I did want to put this in context and point out that the unreviewed rate appears in-line with at least 2 of the other 10 most prolific reviewers. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:13, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) Nearly 12,000 articles? Jesus Christ. Taking Barkeep's stats as correct that certainly seems legitimate. Not my call, but I'd be inclined to support that as an acceptable rate of error (or at least disagreement) Nosebagbear (talk) 20:02, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to Barkeep, firstly, for the stats and putting the numbers into context. As for the six unreviews, sometimes when I review prodded pages which I think will be deleted, it is, for some reason, unreviewed before being deleted. Other times, the pages is unreviewed and then kept anyway with no tags. Other than situations where there are misunderstandings like that, I can't really say. I will inevitably make mistakes, I guess is the only logical reason. Thank you all for your comments. JTtheOG (talk) 23:01, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User: Breaking sticks

[edit]
I only recently found out that we aren't supposed to review AfC submissions without first being accepted here, and I have occasionally reviewed them. Sorry about that mistake. However, now that it's done, probably the best way for you to judge whether I'm suitable to be accepted is to look at ones I've already done, and see if I got them right. Two that I accepted are Suillus kaibabensis and Mill Creek Nature Park, and two that I declined are Draft:Soulaimane Berrada and Draft:Rachel Paulson. The criteria for acceptance mention an understanding of deletion policy. I think my history of AfD participation will show that I do have that understanding, and also any administrator will be able to see my history of CSD nominations, almost all of which have been accepted, I think.
The number of reviews I have done is small (as far as I remember just the four I listed above plus one that has been deleted) but if I am approved here I would like to take a more active part in AfC reviewing. Breaking sticks (talk) 22:07, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Almy. Thanks for applying. Your article creation experience is a step in the right direction as it would give you command over notability guidelines. Your sourcing skills are still developing and I'll recommend you spend a month more adding reliable sources to our articles. You have insignificant experience in deletion areas, and I would again recommend a month of experience in our deletion areas (see the reco at the top of this page). Lastly, I would encourage you to be positive while engaging with fellow AfC reviewers and to avoid statements like this that may feel snarky and also give an impression that this is a revenge application.

Hello, I would like to have the reviewer rights to help with the backlog of pages to review. I can help in eliminating spam, a lot of times when I create articles it stays unreviewed for several weeks, so I would like to help out in this way for AFC. I have been helping Wikipedia to stay away from Spam and have deleted several spam pages. I have been working at New Pages Patrol without the rights and I have been active at AFD (successfully nominated and deleted over 50 pages), the right will help to clear the backlog. I feel with my experience I will be able to successfully and efficiently review new articles and pages.

I also have over 1400 total edits and 34 articles created, none of them are deleted. I have also learned what is WP:GNG and what are WP:RS and really to help Wikipedia to stay away from Spam.

So far Interstellarity is doing well in the program, however, more exercises needed on CSD G11 and G12 to demonstrate interstellarity of understanding how to apply them. I have advised Interstellarity to apply AfC after they have finished the "Final exam" of NPPSCHOOL program and I will create a sub page to discuss AfC as the process and criteria between the NPP and AfC are very different. .

Former participant in this project returning after a long hiatus. Probably half of my edits (including ~1500 deleted edits) are from AFC helper. hewhoamareismyself 05:54, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Alright I should probably put more down here, so that y'all have something to go off of, when I last signed up I think this was a totally voluntary process. When I last participated, I was not entirely comfortable with being the person who had the final say as to when notability had been sufficiently proven and only moved a handful of articles into mainspace (it's a lot easier to prove the negative than assert the positive), but I focused mainly on ensuring that new articles achieved a neutral point of view helped fix drafts that hadn't quite achieved that. That's also the sort of thing that you can easily work on without declining the submission outright, which I tried to avoid when articles needed tweaks rather than overhauls. Now, having taken a more active role in WP:AfD, I am developing a better line as to where notability is and I feel more comfortable going for it and improving the new page from mainspace when the page may not be perfect.
I am quite the workhorse and would like to devote time back into this project. hewhoamareismyself 02:13, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have well over 500 edits and have been a member for 2 years. I have a understanding of the policies related to article creation, as well as of WP:PROD and other deletion policies. For these reasons, I believe that I can contribute well to AfC. TL The Legend talk 18:39, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have been editing a lot of Drafts for a while and it would be a big help if I can use some scripts for ease. That's all I have to use. Allenjambalaya (talk) 14:55, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done, you've done some very odd things in the draft space, including having two declined drafts. More concerning is that this is not a style or layout error, nor is this, and old declines should not be removed. Your AFD stats are pretty good, but I don't think you quite understand what all goes into the Draft/AFC process. Primefac (talk) 15:36, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, got it. I usually just edit style and layouts so if I just know what is done with drafts, which I think is more harder than I what I used to do. Just a question, can I reapply again after a year or two? For the meantime, I'll focus to Wikiproject Education and Philippines. Thanks for considering though. —Allenjambalaya (talk) 23:25, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome to reapply when you have some more experience. Primefac (talk) 23:03, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have graduated from the NPPSCHOOL program by CASSIOPEIA. I was told to reapply after I completed the course. I feel that I'm ready to become an AFC reviewer because I learned a lot from NPPSCHOOL program. Interstellarity (talk) 12:00, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have a moderate amount of articles (see my user page), and I have participated in a number of AFD discussions. Through these discussion, and the nominations I have put forward, I have gotten the handle of the various notability criteria. I've also read over the reviewing instructions. It might be also be helpful to see the couple of GA reviews I have completed. Sam-2727 (talk) 04:58, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. I am very concerned about the number of notes on your talk page regarding copyright and your seeming to not understand how vital it is that copyright protocols and procedures be followed. Copyright is the #1 thing that needs checking in a draft, and we've had too many issues with reviewers in the past who do not properly check copyvios before pushing a draft to the article space.
