User:Vishal14k

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. Thanks and regards, Vishal14K | Talk 18:22, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (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]

User:Ajsinclair

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]

User:Dipankan001

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]

User:HandsomeFella

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. HandsomeFella (talk) 21:32, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed it to a comment. I'll let an admin close this one. Electric Catfish 21:38, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done per above: You get nothing special through this right: it only help the New Page patrollers having less work - 7 articles are easily and in a short time reviewed. @HandsomeFella: this is a clear case of hat collecting. mabdul 14:13, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Eclipsed

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]

User:CherryX

Most of the pages this user creates are welcoming new users Vincent Liu (something to say?) 11:08, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Users have to create articles, not user talk pages. This user welcomes people far too soon. FloBo A boat that can float! 13:53, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Welcoming new users is great, and to be commended. However, it doesn't tie up NPP, and so there's no need here for the autopatrolled userright. Yunshui 雲‍水 14:06, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have created resourceful 50 articles. Ramesh Ramaiah talk 02:15, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In your article Zoe D'Amato, the entirety of the section "Life and career" (two rather large paragraphs) is copied word-for-word from this website, without any indication that the original author of the text has freely licensed it. This appears to indicate that you do not understand the requirements for writing articles on Wikipedia.
Similar problems with Murugappa Polytechnic College, copied from this website.

User:BarkingFish

Have been on Wikipedia now for over 7 years, recently starting to move into article creation and translation and currently working NPP. Never actually realised my edits were not autopatrolled, and I would like to ask for this to be done, since I feel I can be trusted to edit correctly and in accordance with policy.  BarkingFish  02:46, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) User has only created 21 articles [1] (According to the Pages created tool) Cheers, Riley Huntley talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 03:02, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I never realised that you needed to apply to have your edits autopatrolled - I thought that this was something like rollback, where you were granted it after a while. I know my article creation count is low, and that's because I spend 90% of my time working NPP or RC patrol, and grabbing things that really shouldn't be on here - I'm starting to burn out though, and wish to expand my article creation work. I don't do enough of it, and I feel I should be doing a whole lot more - but to still have my edits patrolled after 7 years? Damn.  BarkingFish  03:13, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are misunderstanding the concept of autopatrolled. Your edits do not need to be autopatrolled, it is just to help reduce the work load of New Page Patrollers. Yes, users are granted it after awhile but that is if the user has the need for it often. In your case, you have only created 3 content articles this year and in my mind it doesn't show that you really need it. "wish to expand my article creation work." - The right does not help you with your article creation in any ways. "but to still have my edits patrolled after 7 years?"- Having 21 articles patrolled over 7 years of time is not a large amount of work. I suggest you create more articles and request the right again. Please also include references and inline citations. Feel free to read the autopatrolled page if you haven't already. Cheers, Riley Huntley talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 03:35, 3 August 2012 (UTC) :)[reply]
I am misunderstanding nothing, Riley. Since I'm laying off on the cleanup side of WP, I am going to be submitting new articles at a rate of knots for quite a while now - I need a change. The autopatrolled right will reduce the workload on the NPP'ers, which they will be noticing as I shift up a gear. The right indicated that the user "can be trusted not to submit inappropriate pages", and although it does also state "submits them often enough that it is better to mark them pre-emptively", it is better that I apply now rather than annoying the NPP with my buildup as I work through a large list of translations and stuff I am going to be bringing in.  BarkingFish  03:50, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
