User:Crouch, Swale/Appeal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can I have my editing restrictions removed completely please with a probationary motion of 6 months. I have successfully created articles at AFC from 2019-2022 (with almost no rejections) and created articles directly from 2022-2023 with none redirected, draftified, CSDed, proded or AFDed. I have suggested partly removing the restrictions or having an editing plan but users prefer to have these restrictions removed completely but if users prefer doing this that would also be fine. I know that in the past I haven't listened and got myself into trouble but that's normally because something I've been told seems to go against what Wikipedia actually says is OK or not or goes against something I've previously been told but if things are made clear and straightforward then any problems should be prevented by people being clear about if I need to stop/change something etc. Can I please have 1 chance to just have a go without restrictions. If there are serious problems which there shouldn't be the restrictions can be reinstated and/or the articles mass deleted or draftified. As previously noted I now have the ability to create good articles and its detrimental to the project to restrict the amount of articles I can create.

I will work first on the current missing parishes, see User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes of which there are around 350. No formal monitoring of me will be needed unless the community wants that as I am confident that I can create good articles without approval or supervision however to pace things and to show the community this I will (unless the community doesn't want this) create only 2 new (current) parish articles a week along with my 1 article a month on anything for the first 2 months and if there aren't any concerns after that I will create more than that and anything. I will still be able to create redirect and DAB pages though, the only 2 parish articles will only apply to article creation. After I have finished the current parishes project I will do the former parishes, see User:Crouch, Swale/Former civil parishes starting with creating category 1, then 2, then 3 and then a selected number of category 4 parishes as category 4 parishes may not be notable. I have been adding date to existing former parish articles and as of 9 December most category 1 parishes have such data.

There is a consensus that such articles meet WP:GEOLAND however there is also a consensus that the articles shouldn't be mass created with little content so I will make sure the articles are created with a reasonable amount of content. See Windermere and Bowness for example.

In terms of my page move restriction I have made hundreds of requests at WP:RMT and out of the small number that were contested I think less than 5 ended up as "not moved" demonstrating that I a was allowed to make pagemoves myself I am unlikely to make many problematic moves.

I'm not in any rush to make a decision on what motions will be made but I would like people to make sure that we can lift the restrictions even if it takes a while of discussion here.
