I'm not overly inclined. I'm glad that you're learning, but based on your talk page and some questionable edits I've seen recently I won't be adding you. I'm not going to argue if someone else does, but I personally feel you're not quite ready. Primefac (talk) 15:36, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

August[edit]

I wanted to add my name to the list, but it seems like I can't. How are you going to get volunteers if they can't join by following the instructions? Please add my name to the list, and consider amending or clarifying the instructions so that they are possible to follow. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 12:20, 12 August 2017 (UTC) • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 12:20, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done This is exactly how one requests to be added. It's fully-protected because we have had a very large surge of people who are nowhere near qualified, and full protection was (unfortunately) the only way for us to deal with the issue. Hopefully we can reduce the protection level at some point. Primefac (talk) 13:47, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please allow access to this platform, to expand my portfolio. Entry-requirements met. –Sb2001 talk page 00:45, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Sb2001, questions for you. First, what do you mean "portfolio"? If you're just looking to be a hat-collector, I suggest looking elsewhere. Second, in looking at your talk page, there are a lot of concerns regarding the MOS guidelines. Will you be declining drafts if they don't meet stylistic guidelines? Primefac (talk) 01:12, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    By expansion of portfolio, I mean move into other areas of WP. I am trying not just to stay around the MoS. The stuff on my talk page is mostly SMcC looking to criticise. I explained to him that I was not aware of the MoS. That is all sorted now. Check my contributions—they are very much centred around bringing articles into MoS-compliance. I would decline a draft based on style, but will offer helpful advice, and correct it myself, if possible. –Sb2001 talk page 01:42, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, I would probably accept the draft, and then make changes to it myself—to bring it in-line with the MoS. This seems like a much more effective solution than simply declining it. And no, I am not a 'hat-collector', as you put it. –Sb2001 talk page 01:16, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    I wasn't accusing you, and I apologize if it came across like that. We've had issues with people joining simply to say that they had joined, then doing nothing or (worse yet) doing bad reviews.
    With regards to the MOS question - a draft should never be declined purely on the basis of formatting, so your revised answer pleases me. It takes much less time for someone who knows what they're doing to fix minor style issues than it does for a relative newbie.
    I do encourage you to ask questions of other reviewers if you have them, but for the moment I think your request can be Accepted. Primefac (talk) 01:22, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you. No need to apologise; my phrasing was a little ... abrupt. –Sb2001 talk page 01:57, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now. While I am glad to see you helping out at the AFC Help Desk, I think a bit more experience in understanding WP:CORPDEPTH may be required, given that two of your contributions about companies were recently deleted at AFD.

Comments - Comparatively limited mainspace contributions, although above the 500 limit. Recent articles like this, consisting mostly of a table of contents raise some concerns, as does overall low AfD participation with mixed results and comparatively weak deletion rationales. May recommend a month or two of increased participation in AfD and NPP to demonstrate a thorough knowledge of deletion policy, and likelihood that a draft would survive an AfD nomination. GMGtalk 13:57, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I've started to participate more in AfD, and I've done quite a bit of new page reviewing recently. My CSD record is good, and my edit number is around 4 times the 500 limit. Although some of my new articles are stubs, they still show notability as per wikipedia policies. --Nerd1a4i (talk) 16:38, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This user has nearly no AfD participation, and has no participation within the past several years. The single article they have created within the past year has multiple issues and is based solely on the official homepage for the subject.

I support Stinglehammer's request as it will be useful to his work and he works to ensure new articles from university events are up to scratch. Nev1 (talk) 14:45, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Stinglehammer, the issue is that you don't meet our primary criteria (500 article edits). Pinging Kudpung for thoughts about exceptions (and potential COI), since clearly there's more to this than just edit counts. Primefac (talk) 16:31, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Two reasons why I think we should wait until the remaining 150 edits have been completed: The recent Pseudopregnancy issue, not so much as an error, but due to an incomplete knowledge of some basic page management procedures, demonstrates that there is still probably a lot more to learn even though 500 edits is a low threshold. Secondly, I don't believe we should make make exceptions; the precedent it would create would generate a lot of 'why them and not me?' arguments of the kind we frequently get at PERM.

     Not done for now. Although you have more than 500 edits, you are yet to create an article or move a page. You should prove that you know about categories, and that you can undo an AFC accept (by moving back) at least. You do have some experience rating article though.

    Kiteinthewind, looking at your talk page, it appears that you tend to over-tag with speedy deletion notices. What are your views on when it is appropriate to tag something in the Draft space? Primefac (talk) 11:53, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Primefac: I will exercise caution when speedying things in draft space, and will only speedy, at least for me, when it meets G13 in WP:SPEEDY. Just because a draft is declined, doesn't mean it won't be considered acceptable in the future. The user still has a right to work on it. I acknowledge I may have been a bit fast when it came to speedying things in the past, but I have learned from my errors, like any good Wikipedians should do.

December[edit]

jps (talk) 20:11, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be honest, I'm not overly comfortable granting this. While I know it takes two to tango, your talk page is awash with complaints, concerns, and ANI notices. You added yourself to AFCH back in January but never reviewed any drafts. In short, I'm just not sure why you're interested. Primefac (talk) 17:28, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have been a member for a long time. There are tools I use for monitoring. I have been using these permissions before they were unbundled with accounts and have been doing so for seven years before you were a registered editor. Thank you. jps (talk) 22:23, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So you're interested because I'm new and you're not? I'm not trying to be coy, just trying to figure out how your answer fits with my original question; you don't seem to have an interest in the draft space, NPR, or other backlogs, and the last time you were given AFCH access you didn't use it.
For what it's worth, my concern has nothing to do with your tenure or experience, which is quite large, but more the fact that every time your name (in various flavours) comes up, it's generally something negative. But that's also the reason why I'm not declining your request outright; I might have a negative observational bias. Answering my question may alleviate that concern, which was why I asked. Primefac (talk) 23:03, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't used the tools in draftspace for sometime because others have in the last year or so, but I do not think that's likely to last forever. My primary work is to implement WP:FRINGE and there are lots of fringe articles that come down the pipe. That's what I use all this for. If you think that there is something negative about my presence, please let me know precisely what it is. Saying that there are AN/I messages on my talkpage is hardly a reason. jps (talk) 11:56, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It might be, because besides experience and tenure, AfC reviewing requires a demonstration of communication skills.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:31, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think we're communicating just fine. Don't you? jps (talk) 18:14, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done low usage in the past plus no real need for the script (I have no idea how this will help with FRINGE), plus Primefac and Kudpung's behavioral concerns are enough for me to be concerned. Reviewing your talk page, I also see several 3RR warnings from this year, which I also weighed when evaluating this request: involvement with new users requires patience, and on the whole, I don't think you have the confidence of the admins who monitor this page regularly that you will interact with new users appropriately. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:36, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll take this to WP:AN. You guys are starting to run this like a fiefdom. It's untoward. jps (talk) 18:41, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
ජපස, can you explain how you plan to use this? I think that is the major concern here in addition to the behavioral concerns. The FRINGE thing doesn't really make sense to me and combined with other issues is why I marked this not done. If you could explain it more, I'd be open to another admin adding or doing it myself. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:44, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your "behavioral concerns" are a lark. Post diffs if you have any. It's insulting to me that this is being used as an excuse.
As to what I intend, I have created a number of new articles in the past and fully intend to in the future as new topics come up. What's more, moving articles is sometimes necessary as new writers have named legitimate new articles under problematic names. What we have often seen are a number of drafts that have been approved in the past by AfC holders that have problematically promoted fringe theories (sometimes these drafts have been approved in spite of AfDs which have not been addressed). I have seen this developing more and I am working on a system to do more alerts for WP:FTN about this issue. Of course, not all articles that are about new fringe theories should be deleted and there are arguments that can be made that new ones do get developed (GMO conspiracy theories, for example), but there is a disproportionate number that run in contravention to WP:FRINGE, WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, etc. WP:FTN people have clashed in the past with draft reviewers and the thought was to incorporate more of us with you. Moving in this direction is something I think we can all get behind.
jps (talk) 18:54, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Thanks for the explanation. That makes a lot more sense. The edit warring on Garry Renard was my concern (within 3RR, but still edit warring). We do assess for this at NPR, but since you haven't been blocked for it recently and AfC is less strict on that requirement, I'm fine with granting at this time now that its clearer what you plan on doing with this. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:16, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being receptive to my statements. If you have any desire to work on this project with me, feel free to continue the conversation at my talkpage or WP:FTN. The Gary Renard is now resolved, I believe. jps (talk) 19:57, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Apparently I have to request here (I've seen several STOP signs before I got here) to be allowed to use the tools to be allowed to consider helping to fix a backlog of unreviewed new articles. Something about having at least 500 undeleted edits - I suspect I have created more than that many undeleted articles over the last 13 years! If we want new people to help contribute to Wikipedia, I hope the article creation experience for new editors is easier than the new reviewer process is for experienced editors. So please may I use the review tools?. In the mean time, I might go and improve one of the articles on the Australian list. Will that preclude me from then reviewing it too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottDavis (talk • contribs)
