Not done While you appear to be on the right track, you only have a few days' worth of anti-vandalism experience and that's simply too few reverts for me to evaluate whether you'd be able to use the tool appropriately. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing.
Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right.

- 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 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)

- 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.

With my expertise in the field, I am confident in my ability to assist fellow Wikipedians in reviewing newly created articles on Iranian art and culture, with a particular focus on modern and contemporary art. I would be grateful for the opportunity to contribute in this capacity and respectfully request the necessary permissions to do so. Persian-art-and-culture (talk) 10:59, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Persian-art-and-culture: Hi. You have fewer edits than people who are usually granted this permission, but that isn't inherently a problem. However, I noticed you submitted this version of Leili Anvar, a BLP which left some sentences unsourced. Can you explain your thought process there? Elli (talk | contribs) 14:51, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Dear Elli, Thank you so much for reviewing my request and for your message.
- That’s true; the article I created for Leili Anvar was one of the first subjects I thought should be in English Wikipedia since she is an important bridge between French and Persian literature. The article was mostly based on articles on French and Persian wikis, and unfortunately, other than unsourced sentences, there were many mistakes in layout, style, and so forth. But I always learn and open to learn from experienced fellows and I learned a lot from all those amazing wikipedians from the Women in Red Project.
- Also, as you can see, I’m not eager to create countless articles. I have made very few articles here and on the Persian wiki, and I keep polishing them all the time, both mine and others’ articles.
- But if you think it is still soon for me to step forward, I understand and I respect that from the bottom of my heart; I will keep polishing articles and learn, and I will apply later. Thanks again. Persian-art-and-culture (talk) 21:37, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I am an active AfC reviewer, and I frequently move pages, either from userspace to draftspace, or publishing articles. My request for this privilege comes from my anti-vandalism work (which I am highly involved in). I notice several sleeper accounts, in their early stages, however I am unable to effectively take action with move vandalism in a productive manner. OnlyNanotalk 15:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @OnlyNano: have you come across much pagemove vandalism that you were unable to reverse? You should be able to revert moves, so long as the redirect page hasn't been edited since the move. Elli (talk | contribs) 15:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- From just using anti-vandalism tools (as in just having a lot of experience with anti-vandalism, the tools themselves don't have built in sleeper detection, haha), I can almost tell which accounts end up being sleepers for various purposes. However, I haven't really tracked any users that I suspect, due to me not knowing it is possible to circumvent the need for this privilege for my purpose. OnlyNanotalk 16:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @OnlyNano: I'm not really sure how having this permission would help you much with your anti-vandal work. I don't think pagemove vandalism is that common so most of those sleepers you might find probably wouldn't be planning on it anyway? You're right on the borderline for getting the permission granted in terms of tenure and edits, but you don't really engage in many pagemoves so I'm inclined to not grant it at this point. If you start doing WP:NPP (and draftifying articles) or start participating in RMs more, I'd probably grant the permission at that point as I don't see any red flags, though. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- That sounds good, thanks. I think this has been helpful, and I will make an effort to monitor those accounts more, and re-assess if this privilege would be something I would be using (aside from the standard privileges) frequently enough to warrent the granting of this privilage. I have been looking into getting into doing NPP, however, I think it's best I put a pause on this request, especially with this new information. I plan to come back if I do decide to participate in NPP, and/or I find that these accounts I am referencing are in fact, motivated with page-move vandalism in mind.

Was granted page mover for a few months; now requesting it to be extended as the expiry date is coming up.

- @Remsense: So, there are two blocks here, both for warring at Russian Civil War. Can you explain what was problematic about your behavior in those cases, and how you'll avoid that going forwards? Elli (talk | contribs) 19:43, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sure. The first was my fault in an uncomplicated way: I thought I was in the right because of content guidelines, but was negligent as to the spirit of 3RR as a behavioral guideline, in that I was ultimately being disruptive by perpetuating further cycles of reverts even if I was enforcing consensus, as it were.
- The second is a tad more nuanced, though still a learning experience: I thought there was an explicit guideline that the content under discussion during an RfC should not be altered from when the RfC began. While I didn't violate the letter of 3RR here, if I realized there was no such guideline, I wouldn't have engaged in any reversions myself. When I explained this error to the blocking admin, the block was lifted. Like I said, still a learning experience. To sum up, I've had to do better over the past few months not letting bad-faith and gray-faith editors use me as an "amplifier" for disruption in the moment.

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 5 July, Liz told me at my talk page about the terrible quality of my page swap on Polish–Russian War (1609–1618) which I had moved after closing an an RM discussion in the talk page, and that I had left a dozen broken redirects that she had to clean up. This mistake was due to my inexperience, as it was my first page swap. Following that, SilverLocust recommended me User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap to prevent such issues, which I have been using ever since, and there have not been any more such errors.
- On 8 July, SilverLocust informed me about MOS:DUALNATIONALITIES after I moved Polish–Russian War of 1792 to Polish-Russian War of 1792. I was not aware of MOS:DUALNATIONALITIES at that time, and since then I've taken up the task to fix other article titles violating it as well. I had been aware of and had read the WP:Article title policy, but I had not completely read through the WP:MOS at that time. I've completely familiarised myself with the guideline now and hence hope to minimise mistakes I might make relating to that.
- 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 maitakes on my part. PadFoot (talk) 17:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
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)
