New Page Reviewer granted[edit]

Hello NaturalSelection. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

  • URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
  • Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
  • Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Malinaccier (talk) 02:07, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Due to information in ticket:2017072610022464, I've removed this user right. This may be temporary, but there's some information there that needs to be investigated. This does not necessarily imply wrongdoing on your part. Please be patient with me; thanks! ~ Rob13Talk 22:58, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Why am I being banned? I've only been on Wikipedia for a couple of months. You do realize where I live we have public Wi-Fi service for all customers. NaturalSelection (talk) 03:51, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You do realize where I live we have public Wi-Fi service for all customers. You're not using a public Wi-Fi service, so your credibility is suspect. From the deleted pages you've edited, and the available technical evidence, you do appear to be a sockpuppet. —DoRD (talk)​ 11:45, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

There isn't an SPI report here and I'm not inclined to publicly post how we caught this sock for WP:BEANS reasons. Any admin can contact me for full details by email or IRC, but it included technical and behavioral evidence, including the fact that there is substantial overlap in the pages edited by this editor and the sock ring. ~ Rob13Talk 04:56, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Quoting your exact words: "you do appear to be a sockpuppet," you are assuming I'm a sockpuppet. And yes, the wi-fi I utilize is public and many people have access to it. NaturalSelection (talk) 16:03, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
