Hi, I would like to request the Pending Changes Reviewer permission as I would like to help out with reviewing pages on my watchlist which are on pending changes protection. Thank you. WizardGamer775 (talk) 18:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask if there is any update regarding my application? WizardGamer775 (talk) 12:34, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WizardGamer775 Really don't know. Other people who have come after and before me have become accepted, so I'm not sure. Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 14:27, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the criteria I have for being a Pending Changes Reviewer:

1. I have a account 3 years old (although I have started picking up editing beginning November 2023)

2. I think I have a good editing history, and a good track record.

3. I understand what's vandalism and what isn't (accidentally misspelling a word during your edit is in good faith, but doing things like changing the date of a movie from 2024 to 1956 is vandalism)

4. I know the basic policies, WP:BLP, WP:V, WP:!, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV.

5. I know that you cannot violate the Copyright policy. (WP:C)

6.I understand the guidelines on reviewing.

But, you may ask, why do I want this permission? My answer is, to help people out on Wikipedia. If someone makes a edit that might not be correct, I could correct them on their edit. And I would like to use this tool to help "implode vandals", as the cool kids say. :) Waylon (he was here) (Does my editing suck? Let's talk.)

Just a suggestion, but continually republishing your request will make your request go through slower, not faster. Also, if the bot is wrong, let it be wrong. TheTechie (formerly Mseingth2133444) (t/c) 16:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights Rydex64 (talk) 16:09, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. I have a track record of good edits on Wikipedia and almost no reverts on my edits.

2. I have contributed over 8+ articles till now.

3. I have reverted vandalism multiple times using live recent changes and understand what is vandalism and what is not.

4. I am aware of WP:BLP, WP:VD, WP:NOT, as well as WP:V and WP:OR

5. I am aware of WP:CV

6. I am very active on Wikipedia.

Looking forward to getting access to the tool to improve Wikipedia! Rydex64 (talk) 16:09, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Reaper1945 Rydex64, you may have been misled by the request above yours, which looks so formal and structured that it may well have looked mandatory to copy that text. However, everyone needs to write their own request. You'd be welcome to simply directly do so; you don't need to wait. Just write your own text, please. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:27, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:WikiHuman2021

I have a good track record of edits on Wikipedia currently standing at over 6700+ edits.

I am extended-confirmed, with loads of experience with editing over the past 3 years.

Daily I deal with vandalism and am fully aware about what is vandalism and what is not by identifying and reporting numerous instances of vandalism.

I am familiar with BLP, NPOV, NOR, Verification, and what WP is not.

I am familiar with copyright on WP.

I have fully read and understand the guidelines on reviewing.

Kindly requesting permission because of these reasons. WikiHuman2021 (talk) 01:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi WikiHuman2021, you may have been misled by the requests above yours, which are so similar that it may well have looked mandatory to copy that text.

User:Sunnyboi18

Hi, I'm requesting permissions to Review Pending Changes for a few reasons, and hope ya'll will consider me. First, I've made 600+ Edits, including many of signifigance to multiple pages on various different Social/Historical topics. Second, I've extremely rarely ever had my edits reverted and that's been due to someone feeling my citation was not the best, but I've not had any major compliants. Third, I vote in the Picture of the Year & Arbitration Committee Election, and I'm familiar with WP Guidelines and Copyright. And I just enjoy getting to help have accurate and up to date information on Wikipedia, considering how many folks use this for information. And I'd be more than willing to take on the responsiblity of helping to ensure that continues and is done well. And I'd just like to thank whoever is taking the time to read this and hope to hear back soon, and thank you work that you do, you're the reason Wikipedia is sucessful :).

User:Lionel Cristiano

Hello, I want to review pending changes and reduce the workload. Lionel Cristiano? 17:30, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for the same reason I declined I declined this request for rollback and for this very troubling exchange on my talk page. cc: @ToBeFree -Fastily 20:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. As the request here was newly made just a day after the above-linked exchange, and as the rollback request was declined just a few days before that, I'm a bit confused. I think I'd recommend waiting at least half a year before making further permission requests, but perhaps I'm overlooking something. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:22, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just wanted to make a little joke. I am sorry about that. Will this happen to me every time I add a request? @ToBeFree @Fastily Lionel Cristiano? 23:43, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lionel Cristiano, if you wait at least half a year before requesting permissions again, and if you openly disclose that your request was previously declined due to unnecessary/joke edits, and that you have learned from this, I think it will be okay. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:49, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Lionel Cristiano? 00:27, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:FortunateSons

I care about our encyclopaedic purpose, and allowing newer users to contribute is important to ensure the longevity of the project and a productive participation by new editors.

Throughout my time on Wikipedia, I regularly and actively used talk pages as well as projects and the RS noticeboard, and have shown an ability to understand and apply policy.

I have actively edited in the past and intend to do so in the future.

Receiving this right would allow me to assist in improving the project.

Thank you in advance for taking the time! FortunateSons (talk) 22:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Reaper1945

To correct my previous request, I believe it would be good for me to have these permissions so I can better help with the order and cleanliness of Wikipedia. Not only have I been an editor on here for several years, gaining plenty of experience over my time of being on here, but I have also learned and read the policies of Wikipedia, including those such as having a neutral point of view, no original research and verifiability. Also, random IPs or malicious editors quite commonly vandalize Wikipedia or make edits on pages where they wouldn't be easily seen, thereby distorting the accuracy and reliability of Wikipedia, it also occurs commonly during the making of contentious pages or popular pages,and I believe I could help prevent this. I have also gone over each and every single one of the criteria to receive this permission, so I understand its importance. I believe being granted this permission would be beneficial to further helping the site. These are my reasons for requesting the permission. Reaper1945 (talk) 23:38, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reaper1945, was an AI involved in the creation of this text? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No? Reaper1945 (talk) 02:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't know if that's supposed to mean I'm incapable of writing like that or a compliment. Reaper1945 (talk) 02:20, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification – I mean neither of these two; my concern was that the text appeared quickly, is written very eloquently but without really specifically addressing the pending changes reviewer permission. It even uses "permissions" in plural, and the reviewer permission is not needed to revert vandalism or bad pending changes. Most of the text could just be copied to any permission request.
If you see a pending change, what do you check for before accepting it, and what do you not have to evaluate? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:04, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Understandable, I just made the new request basically the minute after you commented and said not to wait. Regarding what to look for in pending changes, the criteria basically comes down to making sure it does not contain blatant vandalism, inappropriate remarks such as insults or similar problems, violate copyright or is in conflict with the biography of living persons policy, those four points makes the reviewing for pending changes clear-cut. Also, if an edit does not improve an article, then it can be reverted. Basically all of that is what I should look for. Reaper1945 (talk) 13:01, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me. Reaper1945, just keep in mind that a change doesn't have to be perfect to be accepted: Reviewing doesn't mean that you fully approve an edit as if it was your own edit. You could even disagree with the edit and still accept the change, then consider improving it afterwards. As long as it was made in good faith and doesn't violate basic policies, reviewing is fine.
