Reviewer/Article Feedback Reviewer

(add requestview requests)
Reason for requesting Reviewer rights - I have been reviewing articles a little, especially newly created pages. Would like to officially carry the tag. DebashisMTalk 15:27, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have run into numerous instances where I have seen obvious opportunity to review prospective changes on protected pages and simply pick the obviously correct one(s); many of these are a vandal's edit versus a legitimate edit. The administrators and reviewers do an excellent job, but I feel that I have proven myself through my edits, demeanor, and willingness to go the extra mile [[1]] through training is sufficient to permit me to deal with some of these issues myself. I love contributing to Wikipedia, and I truly couldn't care less about the "status" that many seem to be worried about; that's why I've hidden off my userboxes (though they're still accessible if someone needs help!). Furthermore, I feel that I meet the six criterion for being a reviewer that are indicated by Wikipedia (though I respect the right and, in fact, responsibility of Administrators to make choices that they feel are best for the encyclopedia as a whole):

1. I have an (autoconfirmed) account, and I do routinely edit (with the exception of last week, which you aren't allowed to judge me on! I was in the hospital!)

2. This is the one that is debatable, and in the past, I've always respected the analysis of the Administrators (including when they rejected my last application). It is true that my edit count is, by no means, huge. However, the edits that I have made have been productive, and sometimes very complex. Quality > Quantity, and my quantity is still relatively decent, in my humble opinion.

3. I have, indeed, read the policy on vandalism, and I routinely (as can be seen in my adoption and contribution history) fix vandalism using Twinkle.

4. I am also familiar with the basic content policies.

5. I am definitely familiar with copyright law and Wikipedia policy regarding it (again, evidenced by adoption).

6. I have, indeed, also read the guideline on reviewing. I am also willing to learn. - Jackson Peebles (talk) 18:33, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to say that Jackson applied for these rights prematurely a couple months ago and was declined. At that time, I offered to adopt him, an offer he accepted. Since then, he has flown through my adoption course and recently did very well on the final exam. Consequently, I feel he's definitely ready to be able to review pages with PC protection. --Go Phightins! 20:08, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with Go Phightins that he is ready. His answers so far on my CVUA page for him show that he has a great understanding of Wikipedia policies concerning vandalism and disruptive editing. Thanks. — nerdfighter 21:59, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment- Without wishing to infringe upon the administrators right to make a decision, the applicant has made only 77 edits to the article space at time of writing. RetroLord 08:13, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Done I respect Go Phightins and Nerdfighter's opinions and as the the user can already be trusted with ACC I see no reason not to be able to trust them with Reviewer also. ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 12:19, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
An article that I am guiding through the FAC process has just been put under "pending changes protection", so I would like to be able to accept or reject new edits. BollyJeff | talk 20:49, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Plato has recently been changed from Semi-protection to Pending changes level 1 protection. I've been helping to improve the article slowly over the past year, and the bulk of major changes and additions in this time has been by me. I'm an avid watcher of that page, and would gladly help review.
In general, I have read Wikipedia:Reviewing#Reviewing_process, and understand the relevant policies.--Atethnekos (DiscussionContributions) 08:05, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've been an active editor since 2006 with over 28000 edits. I have rollback rights and have a good record overall. I've been coming across pending edits in articles on my watchlist and would like to be able to approve those edits (if applicable). freshacconci talktalk 17:12, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to be as forthright and honest here as possible, as I really don't want to get rights that I don't deserve. I applied for reviewer rights about a month ago and was declined as I was involved in an intense dispute with another editor at ANI, however since then I haven't been involved in any content or behavioural dispute, possibly because I reduced the amount of massive content edits I make and started focusing on minor Wikielves tasks due to school commitments. Anyways, as I said before in my last request, I have a thorough understanding of all major Wikipedia policies and guidelines. YuMaNuMa Contrib 05:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've been on Wikipedia for some time and regularly engage in community discussions, as well as patrolling new pages. I actively fight vandalism and would like to become a reviewer to further this. – Richard BB 22:23, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Many of the articles on my watchlist require reviewing from time to time and I feel that I have the knowledge and experience to make the appropriate decisions if given this right. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 06:01, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Reason for requesting Reviewer rights is because A person learns from his mistakes. I have learned from my mistakes for making wrong article creation. so as of now i learned from my mistakes, now i want the new users mistake to be checked so that they can be taught the good format to edit ,As Wikipedia is a knowledge hub the true and fair knowledge should be distributed to the users,so that every one get's the correct knowledge. ~~Kanti~~ (talk) 11:53, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
