Autopatrolled

(add requestview requests)
Mostly, I create articles as I only add information to those topics of which I have good knowledge. Exhaustive list of my contributions can be seen here. I have taken one article to GA status and I am fully aware of Wikipedia guidelines. I am also a contributor to Hindi Wikipedia, Commons and Wikiquote. I want this permission to be granted to me so that new page patrollers have lesser articles to patrol. I assure everyone that I will not misuse my status.

  • (Non-administrator comment) Articles such as Midtown Grand, one of your recent creations shows lack of reliable sources, as the only two sources are the hotel's website and TripAdvisor; both not neutral, but TripAdvisor is also unreliable. I would also suggest structuring articles better, for example on Midtown Grand, all of the current content there could have been included in a single section. In Old Courts Commercial Complex, Hisar, the article name is not boldened in the lead, which it should be. Other than that, this user has created 51 pages, with all of the most recent having references, however some include unreliable sources. TAP 18:31, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello Thine Antique Pen! I know I have used primary sources in some of the articles but in those cases I have used very basic information so that it remains neutral and I think in that way it can be used. And in case of citing TripAdvisor, I think it should not be even called as a reference as I have not said that Midtown Grand is the best hotel in Hisar but I said that it was adjudged as the best by TripAdvisor. I think in that case citing TripAdvisor itself would be the best option. Please let me know what you think. Thanks and regards, Vishal14K | Talk 03:08, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess I need some more experience while writing new articles. Now, I leave this decision completely in the hands of more experienced editors. Whatever decision they take, I will heartily accept. Thanks and regards, Vishal14K | Talk 18:56, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I nominate User:Ajsinclair for autopatrolled status. He has created more than 50 new articles, and he does very good quality work. I have been reviewing his new articles, and I want his articles to no longer appear in the new articles list. --DThomsen8 (talk) 20:59, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: I don;t want to nitpick, but Sheriff-substitute is unsourced. Can you please clarify? Thanks, Electriccatfish2 (talk) 23:43, 16 July 2012 (UTC).[reply]
 Comment: Source has been added. Although, more would be good.--Chip123456 TalkContribs 18:25, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment:User:Ajsinclair has made changes to improve the article and sourcing.--DThomsen8 (talk) 21:08, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The user is trusted. The user has one FL and one DYK under his belt. I don't think that there are any serious issues about his articles, and he can be granted the rights. Rest is on the community. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 12:19, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
information Administrator note I declined Dipankan's request last time because of concerns over unreferenced material/copyright issues. That was about a month ago. Keilana|Parlez ici 15:40, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think the issues had been solved and you said to reapply in 1 month. BTW though I did not nominate myself, I feel I'm good to go. Dipankan (Have a chat?) 11:43, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm glad you did reapply, I just wanted the patrolling admin to know why I did what I did last time so they can check. :) Keilana|Parlez ici 17:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Producing satisfactory new articles on birds ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:02, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) I wouldn't call them just satisfactory. They are excellent. I've gone through his contributions, he's a very valuable editor. Well done. Azylber (talk) 15:40, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't often create new articles in the article namespace, so you won't find many there. I'm more into fine-tuning existing ones. I like to organize templates and categories instead, and I've created a big bunch of those, see for instance Category:2012 Summer Olympics convenience templates. With more than 14000 edits, I think I'm qualified. But if you think not, no big deal. But given the number of templates (especially) and categories, it would probably lessen the patrolling burden if I got it. HandsomeFella (talk) 19:39, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: I don't think that you understand what this right is for. You've only created 7 articles and users generally must have created at least 50 articles before requesting this user right. Also, this right does not apply to article expanders. The purpose of this user right is to eliminate the burden on new page patrollers and with only 7 articles created, you're not causing a burden on new page patrollers. Please see WP: Autopatrolled. Electric Catfish 21:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I actually think that I did understand that, but it could be that you didn't read my request properly. As I said, I'm not creating many articles in the article namespace. But the templates and categories I've created for the 2012 Summer Olympics in the last month or so have added around 700 items to my watchlist. All of those have passed through the patrolling queue. How's that for a burden? But, hey, whatever. HandsomeFella (talk) 21:12, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
New page patrollers patrol at Special: Newpages where only new articles are listed. Sorry, but templates and categories don't qualify you for the right. Electric Catfish 21:17, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Articles in all namespaces should count, as they add to the burden regardless of namespace. But if you wanna patrol, be my guest, and patrol away. I was only trying to lessen everyone's burden. Did you actually check the category I mentioned above? My guess is you that you didn't. The number of templates alone in categories and subcategories are 543. Then there are a bunch of categories and navboxes. Some other editor soon got the idea, and lessened my burden, but most of them are created by me.

I've changed it to a comment. I'll let an admin close this one. Electric Catfish 21:38, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For topics where I have a potential financial or personal COI I will continue to use WP:AFC, WP:CO-OP, or other appropriate venues for article creation. This autopatrolled request is for creating articles from various Wikipedia:Requested articles lists, and for general topics of interest where I have no COI. Thanks. -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 00:32, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
