Hi there. I've got a background in history and a good grasp of NPOV and the various notability guidelines. I've been editing for 3+ year--I'm not the most prolific editor but I would like to start helping out on the 'coalface'. AugusteBlanqui (talk) 08:41, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Usedtobecool

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]

Provide feedback on, help out, and respond to articles for creation relating to anatomy and potentially medicine.

I have read the reviewing instructions (WP:AFCR)

I also would have no objection if I was appointed a mentor or had someone look over my few AfC reviews to ensure I am reviewing with a suitable quality / rigor. Tom (LT) (talk) 10:17, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:CptViraj

Hii, i'm contributing to Wikipedia since April, and i think now I've required experience to become afc reviewer. Also i want to help reduce the backlog (over 4000 pending submissions). I've been blocked once for copyright violation and one rejected afc reviewer request. Also i've patroller rights in commons. Thank you! -- CptViraj (📧) 14:59, 5 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]
At the time i created Machayenge, i was new to Wikipedia and i was not familiar with policies. But now i'm familiarized with CSD/AfC/AFD/PROD/FFD. And i know Machayenge and Lamberghini (song) both articles meets WP:A9. -- CptViraj (📧) 10:27, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Long story short, I have been here for more than two years now, with holidays going on for the next two months. I am willing to help since there is nothing better to do. :) AvalerionV 21:32, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
AvalerionV, while you seem to do a ton of editing in the article space (which is good!) you don't appear to have much positive experience in the "administrative" side of Wikipedia (deletion, creation, patrolling, etc). Do you feel that you can appropriately review drafts for their suitability? Primefac (talk) 12:05, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Primefac, I am well aware of the guidelines because this is not my first time applying for the position. My main focus will be to work on AfC backlog and help reduce it. I have a good experience with fighting vandalism because that's what I did most in the past. If you have a doubt, you can place me on probation, I have no problem with it. Thank you for your response. AvalerionV 17:23, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Lourdes, not really sure about this. Similar to the first and second requests, the majority of their edits are gnoming or vandal-fighting. I appreciate the willingness/enthusiasm, but I have no way to gauge if they'll be an effective reviewer. Primefac (talk) 01:13, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Primefac, I think let's try the probation on good-faith and request the editor to come back once the probation ends. Thanks, Lourdes 03:19, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:JTtheOG

Hey there, I've been a new page reviewer for almost three years now, and created about 150 pages, so I have a pretty good understanding of the guidelines and deletion policies and have read the instructions. If there's a backlog, I want to contribute to trimming it down as I've been doing on the NPP backlog. JTtheOG (talk) 01:37, 20 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]

I'm not that impressed with your AfD work, but quite positive about your speedy work. Take this slow and perhaps read up on the deletion policy and notability guidelines once again before starting off.

User:Hugsyrup

I contribute regularly at the Teahouse, where a lot of the questions we get relate to AFC submissions, and I believe I provide helpful input there so I would like to help further by getting involved in actually reviewing submissions myself. I am also a fairly frequent contributor to AFD, and I understand that the criteria for reviewing an AFC are not dissimilar to considering an AFD. Many thanks for your consideration.

User:Utopes

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. Thank you for taking the time to look at my case again! Utopes (talk) 20:37, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please provide us some evidence that you have a reasonable grasp of our deletion policy and notability guidelines (e.g. CSD/PROD/AfD/Curation experience; or in creating articles that are reliably sourced). Thanks, Lourdes 03:00, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now, no reply. Primefac (talk) 14:16, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Lourdes: and @Primefac:, sorry for the extended delay. (Members of my Troop and I were on a hiking trip in Philmont, and I posted this before we left. I did not plan for additional questioning). I have participated in 24 AfD's, and approximately 30 RfD's (there is no RfD tracker, but I know I give my comments there more often, as I find the solutions to be more clear cut for redirects). In these discussions, I have demonstrated knowledge of the fundamentals of the deletion policy for articles and redirects, and properly reference the appropriate guideline that the article does/does not follow wherever necessary (GNG, NOR, etc.). As for outside of AfD discussions, I have authored several properly referenced articles on chemical compounds, with reliable sources where applicable. If there is any other concern, just let me know. I thought I answered everything with my first post, but I'd be happy to answer to any other inquiries. Utopes (talk) 21:13, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Enivid

I am an editor since 2008 and sometimes when I have free time I would like to be able to help with the AfD backlog. I believe I have good understanding of policies and guidelines (including notability and deletion), and I often try to improve newly created articles. Enivid (talk) 12:56, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Enivid, it is exciting to find a long-term editor wishing to join the AfC team. We normally prefer that any applying editor have a reasonable understanding of Wikipedia's deletion policy and notability guidelines. If I may recommend, would it be okay if you get some experience in deletion areas (e.g. CSD/PROD/AfD) and then perhaps reapply here in a month or two. What do you say?

User: Breaking sticks

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]
