Autopatrolled

Hello! I believe I've shown a sufficient track record of creating valid articles, and I plan to continue doing so. In particular, I have a list of red links with potential that I plan to create articles for in the near future, and I don't want to fill up the new page feed if I don't have to. Thanks for your time and consideration! Bsoyka (tcg) 06:48, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Would be useful to make tedious edits. Un assiolo (talk) 22:31, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Anything specific in mind? * Pppery * it has begun... 00:29, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
@Pppery: A user was approved with this exact request, so I thought it was sufficient. I literally copied and pasted it. But OK. I saw AWB has an option to merge duplicated references, which is what motivated the request. This is something I've done in the past and it's annoying to do manually. I expect to learn about the other features as I use it. --Un assiolo (talk) 16:13, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
The distinction between that request and this one is that they have 20 times as many edits (and correspondingly more experience like having written several FAs, not just raw edit count) as you so I applied less scrutiny to their requests than I do to a user with less experience. The point of providing a specific task is to ensure both that you know what AWB is, you aren't hat collecting, and you aren't planning to do something like make mass cosmetic edits in violation of rule 4, etc. That response convinces me on all three fronts, so  Done * Pppery * it has begun... 20:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

It is very useful for searching/modifying same string/link/name on many articles when required. I am using it already for ro.wiki. --itineris55 08:01, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done I would have preferred a more specific description of what you were going to do with AWB, but I'm just going to assume your experience from rowiki will carry over and ou'll do something reasonable. But do keep in mind WP:AWBRULES, which might not be the same from wiki to wiki. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
I will use AWB to tag galaxy-related (and other astronomical objects) with the appropriate talk page banners (WP:ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS), and will use it to tag "Weather of _____" with the corresponding task force talk page banner tags. I can also use it for typos on long tornado articles, which tend to have misspellings in them. Sir MemeGod ._. (talk - contribs - created articles) 05:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I am writing to request extended confirmed user rights. I have come across several articles on Wikipedia that are incomplete or contain misleading information, and are currently under the extended confirmed protection policy. I believe these articles require attention and correction. Granting me extended confirmed user permissions would enable me to amend and improve these articles. Thank you for considering my request. IamAnisurrahman (talk) 07:08, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. This will be granted automatically when you meet the requirements (which will be after the next edit or two that you make) stwalkerster (talk) 09:23, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Okay thank you for your update. I appreciate your feedback and insights. IamAnisurrahman (talk) 06:21, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

I want to reduce the massive backlog. I have been looking at the new pages patrol feed sporadically for the past two months and the backlog keeps increasing. I want to play a part in reviewing the articles. HRShami (talk) 11:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma(talk) 07:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
@48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. – Joe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason (WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I see you found the IP at AfC who submits soundtrack articles (41 accepts of soundtracks it looks like). I'm glad to see you've started to accept drafts at AfC, instead of just declining (a ratio of 1 accepted to 348 declined at the time of the last application). I do still have concerns about your experience at AFD, given that, of your last 40 votes, all but 2 of them were pile on votes where the result had basically already been decided based on the number of votes for the conclusion you chose. You accepted one piece of criticism from me, your lack of accepts at AfC, but you do still appear to be pile on voting. Honestly, I'm not sold, but I'll leave it up to someone else whether they want to grant you a trial or not. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your points, I've made lots of contributions recently, and I hope I will be granted a trial to demonstrate my willingness to contribute positively. Best, Waqar💬 07:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to say that I've been working so hard for the past couple of months. I've made so many contributions to AFCs, I've reviewed over 1,160 articles (accepts: 138, declines: 670, and the rest either rejected or speedily deleted) so far. I'm also actively patrolling the new page feed, adding maintenance tags, and tagging articles for speedy deletion like A3, A7, and G11. I've drafted more than 200 articles that either lacked reliable sources or needed additional sources. In the AFD discussions, I voted on more than 150 pages. Without considering the no consensus results, 98.6% of my AfD's were matches, and even though the votes were assumed to be piles on voting, most of my recent votes were very detailed and specific and weren't pointing towards anyone, but I will accept their valuable advice and try my best to make improvements at AFDs as well. Having said that, I believe that all those contributions exhibit my hard work and dedication. I hope I get a chance to at least prove myself by patrolling new pages, and I would be more than happy to help with the backlog. Thanks for your time and consideration. Waqar💬 18:10, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

I was given a trial for a few months and would like to renew my permissions. I have made good use of my permissions by fixing new pages and applying CSD whenever necessary. Florificapis (talk) 22:45, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting page mover rights: I want to have my page mover rights extended, as I contribute to RM/TR. Was given 3mo trial and it will end on August 20. ToadetteEdit! 08:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

I was granted pagemover rights nearly a month back, but due to mistakes on my part, the rights have been now revoked. So, I am requesting the rights again on Primefac's advice, explaining why I made the mistakes and how I shall avoid those mistakes going forward.

  • On 30 July, I moved British Indian Army to Indian Army (1895–1947) after which Celia Homeford informed me that the move had been unilateral, following which I immediately proceeded to check the talk page of the article for previous RMs, which I did find and had resulted in the move of Indian Army (1895–1947) to British Indian Army. I hadn't checked the talk page before swapping the page and thus had not been aware of this RM when I had swapped — a mistake on my part. I had checked the WP:COMMONNAME of the article and sought to make the article title WP:Consistent with other historical army related articles like German Army (1935–1945) for instance. I should've checked the talk page and it's archives for any previous RMs and discussions before making the swap. That is what I usually do before making a move or a swap, but this step had slipped my mind in this case. In future, I shall make sure to always check the talk page and the archives for RMs and discussions regarding the article title without fail before making a move or a swap.

I've learnt from my mistakes and hope not to repeat them. I also aim to minimise any chance of any other mistakes on my part. PadFoot (talk) 17:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
I don’t believe I'm not, @Fastily:, I warn people using twinkle, here is my warn logs: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Lordseriouspig&namespace=3&tagfilter=twinkle&start=&end=&limit=50. Lordseriouspig 20:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
I reviewed your contributions from last month and found these within seconds: 1, 2, 3. I'll repeat what I said above: it's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 08:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
I’m unsure why I forgot to add a warning for those, @Fastily, considering Twinkle automatically opens the talk page, but I usually warn members, and tools like Anti-vandal or Huggle would probable negate me forgetting warns. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 10:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I've been recent changes patrolling on and off with Twinkle, and more recently Ultraviolet, for years now, and would like to try Huggle's more advanced tools. I have over 1.4k mainspace edits, no history of edit warring, and consistently and appropriately notify editors whose changes I revert. P1(she/her, talk/contribs) 04:18, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 08:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Requests for template editor

Template editor

I am a frequent editor and creator of templates and modules, and I have encountered several instances where having the template editor permission would be helpful. Many of my requested edits on protected templates have been performing minor visual fixes or fixing small bugs with the template's logic. For these uncontroversial edits, having to submit a request and involve another editor feels unnecessary, considering the nature of the requested edits. In other cases with more significant changes, going through the edit request process works fine for the most part, but I like to be able to avoid the process because of the backlog the edit queue can have at times and the added potential confusion added by having to request technical changes. Because of this, I'd much rather be able to have a standard discussion on template talk pages, if necessary, followed by implementing the agreed upon changes myself rather than having to request someone else to implement the changes. In the near future, I plan on exploring adding support for the new dark mode to more templates and being able to implement these changes on protected templates myself would be of great help. In the future, I would also like to use my technical knowledge of wikitext and Lua to help with processing the template edit request queue.

Another issue that the template editor permission would resolve is that several templates I've created or rewrote are now template editor protected: Template:For-multi, Template:Country name, Template:Yearly archive list/display, Template:Visible anchor/styles.css, Template:Divbox/styles.css, and Module:Outdent. As a result, I am unable to edit them, which makes several of them difficult to maintain. Per the guidelines, three templates sandboxes I've worked on include Module:Jcon/sandbox, Template:Visible anchor/sandbox/styles.css, and Template:Infobox road/sandbox and at some requested template edits are [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8][9].

Also, I acknowledge that I performed what ended up being (unintentionally) disruptive templates several years ago. Since then, I have learned a lot about collaborating with others on Wikipedia and being mindful of the impact template edits can have on articles across the wiki. Since then, I have been much more careful with the edits I perform, as these past experiences have shown me the dangers of not doing so. With the template edit permission, I intend to take from these past mistakes, and I will follow the best practices to ensure the template edits I perform are well-tested, agreed upon, and non-disruptive. I find that now I am very cautious with my template edits, and I always create thorough test cases (e.g. Template:Jcon/testcases) before performing changes. BrandonXLF (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

After looking at your contributions I'm inclined to grant, but would like to know if Primefac, EdJohnston, or Galobtter (admins who were involved with the placing and then lifting of your sanctions) have thoughts. Elli (talk | contribs) 01:39, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Brandon has definitely matured as an editor since their first go-round with this permission. I've been burned in the past but let's say I'm cautiously optimistic. Primefac (talk) 12:11, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
 Done for a three-month trial period. Feel free to request again in October and assuming there weren't any issues in the meantime, I'll be happy to grant the permission indefinitely. Elli (talk | contribs) 18:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
