:I've been involved in Wikipedia for several years, gradually getting more and more involved into its mysteries. Main focus is article creation and expansion, particularly in Archaeology and Natural Sciences topics (recently added as autopatrolled), but I have previously been involved in patrolling the New Page Feed. Having more time to do so, I'd like to be involved again with Reviewer rights as it's an honourable enterprise and is something that is easy to zip in and out of, which will suit my availability on WP allowing me to contribute positively. I've a good track record and am familiar with the New Pages guidelines. Having said that, I've just re-read the guidelines and will keep them close at hand if rights are granted so that I may remain above reproach.

![]() | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. This notice is automatically updated by MusikBot (talk) and will hide when there are fewer than 3 requests and they are all under 7 days old. |
New page reviewer

- I'd like to occasionally support quality control of new pages Cnbrb (talk) 00:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Question: We're hoping that holders of this right will dig in and seriously help reduce the massive backlog. That was what this user right was specifically created for. Could you please confirm that you have read and fully underst0d the new tutorials at WP:NPP? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:21, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Cnbrb: see above question -- Samtar talk · contribs 14:52, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi - the page you have referred me to is massive. Is reading all this really a prerequisite to participation? I have been an editor since 2007 (just about to come up on my 10th anniversary). In this time I have created vast amounts of well-sourced and verifiable information to arts, architecture, transport, biography and history, have weeded out vandalism, have improved poor editing, and have created 105 pages - all this well within the Wikipedia rules. I am fully versed in Wikipedia good practice and fully confident with good practice in Wikipedia editing. Cnbrb (talk) 18:11, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- I've been on Wikipedia for 10 years and a highly active admin for 6. There are things in that tutorial that I didn't realise myself until I set about writing it with help from admin Fuhghettaboutit. We're hoping that holders of this right will dig in and seriously help reduce the massive backlog. Does that answer your question? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:28, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

- I would like to request NPR due to the fact that I often tag new pages. I confirm that I have read the tutorial. J947 18:40, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
- Please see this user's talk page. I don't think they have enough experience to be a new page reviewer. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:14, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
Not done No clear indication of experience curating pages (see log), come back in 90 days time. — Coffee // have a cup // beans // 11:00, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Coffee: Not to sound insubordinate or out of line or anything, but I've read WP:NPR's guidelines for granting, and it seems as if J947's qualifications are above and beyond those specifications. It also appears as if you've (recently) granted permissions to editors with relatively little curation experience. Might I ask what the problem with this particular editor's qualifications is? R. A. Simmons Talk 02:14, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Also, when I was reviewing back in November I didn't know how to review and was reviewing them because I thought they were good articles.. Also, thanks to rasimmons for being bold and standing up for me. Another note is that I first edited in November last year yet amassed over 3,000 edits. I would like it if you reconsidered your comment. J947 04:23, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Admin decision by Coffee endorsed. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:33, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- @J947: Just wondering, are you asking me or Coffee to reconsider? R. A. Simmons Talk 20:47, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

- Err, I've created well over 400 articles, am a 10 year editor, Senior Editor III, former admin, and so forth. I have patrolled pages off and on (mostly off) in my career here, with no complaints that I know of, but maybe not in the last year, so my rights have expired? Or something. At any rate it's not working for me now... Willing to occasionally patrol a couple-few new pages off the bottom of the stack between other tasks when the mood strikes me.

- Hi, I'm seeking to be a new page reviewer- I did it a bunch before and enjoyed it but I guess the permission guidelines have changed. Thanks. JacobiJonesJr (talk) 23:51, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Edit - I also notice that it is routinely asked that applicants have read the guidelines again and I have done so. JacobiJonesJr (talk) 01:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

- Back when I guess anyone could use the page curation toolbar, I found it very useful when reviewing new pages. Apparently, I now need special permissions to access the toolbar. Being able to use the toolbar again would help me greatly in my patrolling of new pages. I'll admit that I was sometimes a bit quick to go for a speedy delete when there were better alternatives, but I understand the rules better and I'm much more cautious in my reviewing of pages now. Needless to say, I could review pages by adding tags manually, but without the curation tools, I'm liable to forget to notify users on their talk pages and so forth. I hope to be able to use these tools to improve Wikipedia again. Thank you. R. A. Simmons Talk 21:48, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 246 total edits, I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Please come back when you have demonstrated a clear need for this tool, and have the amount of experience required for administrators to review your edits. -- Samtar talk · contribs 14:54, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Done Although you're just below the recommended granting guidelines I've opted to add this right to your account. Please take it slow and ask if you're unsure about something. When in doubt, don't mark the page patrolled and remember not to bite! -- Samtar talk · contribs 14:51, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

I am requesting new pages patroller rights to help with the backlog of new pages in the queue. I have read and understand the tutorial. I have about 1600 edits. I have a good understanding of notability requirements. Antonioatrylia (talk) 16:39, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Not done .Please demonstrate your knowledge of policies and guidelines by doing some manual patrols and perhaps obtaining Rollbacker first. You will also need to get into the habit of making edit summaries. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:46, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Kudpung: I'm starting to feel like a jerk for questioning admins here (I know that you grant these rights at your discretion), but I don't understand this decision at all. You're asking the editor to demonstrate knowledge of policies and guidelines, but going through their contributions, I think that they demonstrate knowledge well enough. Manual patrol experience and rollbacker permissions aren't stated as prerequisites at WP:NPR, so I don't see why the editor should need to have either (I understand how they could make someone a better candidate, though). Your request for the editor to "get into the habit of making edit summaries" is a bit confusing, as xtools indicates that more than 80% of the editor's edits have edit summaries. The rest could have been done early on, or have been uncontested reverts. I'm not asking you to change your decision, I'd just like a little clarification as to the thought process behind it (more for the editor's sake than anything). Thanks. R. A. Simmons Talk 20:58, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you rasimmons for your support. We have been through this before Kudpung. Last time you told me I needed more experience even though I had more than the 600 edits required. I continued to patrol without the right and made a good shot at CSD as per my log. [2] I have demonstrated my understanding of the policies by doing manual patrols. You said the prequisites are only a guideline and it is up to an admins discretion, yet I note in the requests above me that two editors with less than the 600 edit requirement were given the patroller right. That is quite disconcerting. Is there something I have done to offend you? With all due respect, may I ask that a different admin might evaluate my request? Thank you.

- Have done a fair bit of NPP in the past 10 years, and went to do some, to realise you now need this right in order to review - thus this request. I've read the updated guides etc. - Happysailor (Talk) 18:13, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
Question: You hardly edited throughout 2016. The reasons for that are personal to you and we don't need to know, but are you able to commit to substantial work reducing the monumental backlog and are you aware of the implications for Wikipedia if it is not reduced? Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:40, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Work & life in general left me very little time to do much here at all last year (as you can see from my contribs, there are times where it becomes almost impossible to dedicated time to Wikipedia - this one just seemed to last longer), but going forward, I should again be able to put time into the multiple facets of Wikipedia that I have worked upon over the years. At the very least, I can aim to help reduce the backlog at NPP. - Happysailor (Talk) 19:04, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

- More than a content creator, I believe myself to be a reconciler - by which I mean that I'm more efficient in keeping checks and taking necessary steps required to either stop or allow an article's existence by upholding the guidelines with which we deem any content Encyclopedic (personal favourite is finding copyright violations - there actually seems to be MANY).
- Now, I'm not perfect (as I did get a lot to learn whilst patrolling as well - my polite way of saying that I did get a few things wrong from time to time) - but I rate myself to be good enough. Not to brag but more than 35 articles resulted in speedy delete because of my accurately tagged templates (not that it makes me CSD-tag-happy lad either).
- I have steadily read through WP:NPP - took me about 3 weeks and still keep referring through it whenever in doubt. Will let my older contributions do further talking on that front.
- Finally, my true reason to apply for this is because even though I already patrol (a few) using Twinkle with little to no rights (user privileges), I still get to see tons of backlogs where articles are either unreviewed or unattended altogether from over 48-72 hours of their creation (mine included). Hoping to reduce that log with 1 article at a time! And then there is also the opportunity to know, learn & understand how the curation tool (script) actually works (apparently we need this right to exercise it).
Thanks.
