Reason for requesting Reviewer rights Cypher3c (talk) 05:51, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have been a member for a while now, making minor edits to various articles. I have frequently tagged articles to point out various deficiencies (stubs, etc), and think I would make a good reviewer.

User:Limideen

Question: Do we have to be familiar with all Wikipedia policy, or can we just revert blatant vandalism as we would with WP:Rollback?
Limideen 14:00, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You need to be familiar with all of the basic Wikipedia content policies and guidelines (WP:BLP, WP:VANDALISM, WP:NPOV, etc.); see Wikipedia:Reviewing for more information. Seeing as you have two years of experience, 2000+ edits, and rollbacker rights, you're more than qualified for reviwer rights. Consider this request  Done.

User:Protector of Wiki

I have recently been removing vandalism and other nonsense, so I believe I will be competent in judging edits, simultaneously assuming good faith. Thus, I request half-mod status. Protector of Wiki (talk) 23:01, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reviewer is not "half-mod status". Nakon 23:07, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is. Mods have rollback, and I get part of the tools mods have. Protector of Wiki (talk) 23:16, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are no moderators here. Nakon 23:17, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You are a mod. Protector of Wiki (talk) 23:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I am stepping out of my place here, but Nakon is correct, he is not a Moderator, but an administrator. Wikipedia does not have Moderators per se, and insisting we do shows that you lack the basic knowledge of how Wikipedia really works.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 01:18, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done per recent block and abundant biting in your interaction with other editors. Courcelles 23:11, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How will the purported "biting" hinder my ability to distinguish between vandalism and good-faith edits? Recent block is not a reason for decline. Protector of Wiki (talk) 23:16, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the concern is that you will misuse it (you have been behaving like a bull in a china shop). However, I agree that you satisfy the criteria, fwiw. --RegentsPark (talk) 23:22, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Done I've granted the right. While Protector's communication style is unnecessarily blunt and BITE-y, I don't see any sign that xe will be a blatantly disruptive editor (e.g., vandalism, spamming, BLP violations). Dabomb87 (talk) 02:41, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I've self-reverted my granting of reviewer rights (I feel I may have been too forthright, given other admin concerns). However, I still think Protector of Wiki should receive the reviewer flag per my rationale above. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:57, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And I see very little but bringing feuds from simple over here, no evidence he can distinguish somewhat misguided, but good-faith edits from vandalism, and an unbelievable amount of aggression towards new users. Seeing this I'm much more inclined to block him than give him flags that he is trying to pin on like a shiny badge of authority. Courcelles 03:11, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
flags that he is trying to pin on like a shiny badge of authority Please do not misrepresent my reasons for requesting this tools. I request it so I may serve the community. I also feel like it takes a long time for people to review pending changes. Protector of Wiki (talk) 04:57, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that his (using male pronoun, sorry if I'm wrong) current approach to editing Wikipedia will probably earn him a block faster than anything else. However, the reviewer right is essentially an extension of the autoconfirmed flag (while giving us a way to filter out the obviously disruptive editors), so I'm not sure if this is the best way to address the behavioral issues. That said, the lack of ability to discern good-faith edits from bad-faith edits is a legitimate concern (though all of the reverts I checked were generally sound), so I'll shut up. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:20, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with whatever you decide courcelles, but it seems worth the shot. I note several welcome messages and genuine vandalism reverts. Now, if someone could give them a new keyboard, one in which the caps lock key is not stuck, .....! --RegentsPark (talk) 03:29, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If I may comment (as a very involved editor), the problem I have with him getting reviewer is not the actual right, which I believe he does tick all the boxes for. My issue is that a user with such a skewed perception of "mods" should receive something he views as "half-mod" status, which indicates to me that he will treat this right as authority over newer users. This would escalate the potential for being bitey, especially since (as inaccurate a perception it may be) newbies are likely to see "reviewer" and think, "oh, his actions are condoned by this place, he has the authority to review and throw out my edits." But this right is trivial enough that I wouldn't be alarmed should an admin judge that he would be all right with it. sonia♫ 09:30, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How can I treat the reviewer right as authority when all I can do is accept pending changes? And, by the way, newbies won't even know that I'm a "reviewer" since they don't know how to view rights. Protector of Wiki (talk) 07:50, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You mentioned it in your request: I request half-mod status. Nakon 15:02, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've been attempting some informal mentoring on Protector of Wiki's talk page. While they have a lot of potential, there is a noticeably defiant tone that would argue against granting privileges in which they would be expected to follow established policies and guidelines. Hopefully this will change with time as they do seem to want to be helpful. —UncleDouggie (talk) 11:02, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
