New page reviewer

Hello, I was previously granted NPP on probation and used it to review articles as suitable. I would appreciate if I could be granted the right permanently if an admin deems it fit. Thank you. – Isochrone (T) 16:55, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see there is a huge back log. And with a bit of experience and interest to learn, I can be of help, if selected. thanks Davidindia (talk) 17:34, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done quite yet. I would like to see you gain some more experience first, as while you've had an account for several years, you've only really become active this month. We need to see a more consistent track record before granting. Anarchyte (talk) 10:20, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I understand I need to do a lot of home work and much more learning. I will wait, and try to work hard. thanks! Davidindia (talk) 11:34, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting this user right in response to this invitation on my user talk page. I am an experienced editor who has spent a lot of time working at AfC and would to like to become a new page reviewer to help decrease the massive backlog.

I am an experienced contributor to wikipedia, amassing over 11,500 edits. I have reviewed a lot of AfC articles, and have read the guidelines. 6 months ago I was given this permission for a 1 month trial, although I didn't have enough time to use it a lot. 141Pr {contribs} 09:16, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done as a month trial. I saw a few things that gave me pause in my spotchecks, so I'd like to see how you'd use the perm before granting indef. Anarchyte (talk) 11:21, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see that the backlog is rather large and there is an upcoming Backlog drive which I wish to participate in. I was a AfC reviewer and it was recommended to me that I should participate in other areas of Wikipedia for various reasons.

(Non-administrator comment) The relevant threads are User talk:OlifanofmrTennant#About a draft you accepted and User talk:OlifanofmrTennant#Multiple messages received about your work as an AfC reviewer. OlifanofmrTennant, this is purely some friendly advice but NPR is a somewhat harder and more demanding perm than AfC. Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 00:59, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) OlifanofmrTennant, I second VickKiang here. NPP is demanding, more so than AfC. If you want to do maintenance work but are not ready for AfC/NPP yet please consider enrolling at the Countervandalism Unit Academy if you wish. #prodraxis connect 03:27, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was previously granted 1 month NPP (as the bot should tell you). During this time, I've admittedly done less than I hoped, but life has been busy and I think what I have done has been generally good. CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 05:50, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I also hope to help out with the backlog drive. CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 05:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have a measurable experience with RFDs, AFDs, as well as CSDs. I would be a good person to help review pages, as well as to help the backlogging that exists at the moment. Thanks, Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 16:01, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was given temporary NPR until September 30, I'm requesting for my trial period to be extended or for the permission to not expire. Requesting early as I know requests take a while to be answered sometimes. Thank you! FatalFit | ✉   22:53, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think i can be new page reviewer because i always check any new and long-time exist pages that use reference or not. GogoLion (talk) 23:28, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The reasons for asking for this right is two-fold:

- In my developer capacity, I have recently been writing patches for the PageTriage extension, it will be nice to have access to the right on production so that I can test my changes and work on patches based on my personal experiences. (essentially to dog food it) (gerrit contributions to PageTriage, overall gerrit contributions phabricator profile)

- I would like to help clear out some of the backlog and potentially participate in the backlog drive that is set to happen in October 2023.

Wrt to my experience, I would like to echo what I mentioned during my AFC statement, I don't really have a lot of AFD participation and/or CSD stats like most of the others on the page, however I do believe I have a good grasp on the general notability guidelines and will try to do my best to ask around if I am unfamiliar with the subject matter or such. (My strengths tend to be general software/technology topics and Indian topics). Sohom (talk) 08:26, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sohom. Thank you for your work on PageTriage and offering to help with the backlog. I'm afraid we can't really take into account your dev activities here, though. We're just looking for whether you have sufficient knowledge and experience to review others' articles fairly and accurately. In that regard, your AfC record looks good, but you've only been doing it a month so there isn't a great deal to go on. Similarly you have a decent record in article creation yourself, but this is mostly recent (the majority of your 60 articles were created over two days this May) and many of them still have cleanup tags. As you say, you also have no real experience at AfD to speak of. Looking at your AfC reviews, there was one that caused me concern: Draft:Kala Krishnan Ramesh. You stated in a comment that Interviews, self-written articles and book reviews are not reliable sources for the author. But 1) interviews and the author's own writings can be reliable sources, they're just non-independent, primary ones that should be used with caution and don't count towards notability; and 2) reviews are not only reliable sources but our primary way of gauging the notability of authors. Please take another look at this draft; it looks like there is a reasonable case for notability there to me. To be totally honest, I'd usually decline your request at this point, and ask you to spend some more time working at AfC first. However, since you are off to a good start there, and we do have a backlog drive coming up, I can offer you a one-month trial. However, please go slowly to start with and make sure you familiarise yourself with relevant SNGs before reviewing any articles in those areas. After a month, you can come back here to request the extension of the right, if you're still interested in reviewing.  Done for the bot, and thanks again for volunteering. – Joe (talk) 09:21, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
