Reviewer/Article Feedback Reviewer

(add requestview requests)


Though I think it's excellent for the wiki, I've been frustrated with the pending changes system on multiple occasions, both in not being able to approve others' well-meaning edits (or disapprove them, often still assuming good faith) and not being able to edit "activated" (not sure of the proper term) articles in the conventional fashion. I feel as though I've proven myself in my capabilities to revert vandalism, but I recognize that my edit count is conspicuously low, and I spend a while searching the "approved" archives for someone who was granted reviewer rights with an edit count on the same order of magnitude as mine; I found two. Feel free to add 122 to my edit count for my previous account. That seemed overly long-winded; my apologies.  — TORTOISEWRATH 02:14, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) Can you point out which Pending changes protection article you have worked on. I went through your contributions of past one month and could not find even a single such article.--Vigyani (talk) 10:38, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was recalling from memory. I know it's happened in the past, though I don't believe it's happened in the last month. It just annoys me occasionally, and I think without reason; I couldn't name a specific example of how the pending-changes system has affected me in the past. Were I granted reviewer rights, I would use them mostly to approve others' edits (which I do often wish to do), rather than to edit myself.  — TORTOISEWRATH 00:32, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I’d say I am trustworthy enough to be a reviewer, I meet the requirements, and I can see myself making use of the tool to help Wikipedia. It’s really as simple as that. MTC (talk) 09:46, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. You're not very active, but you seem sensible. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 09:58, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Deepeshdeomurari (talk) 09:06, 7 May 2013 (UTC) I would be able to contribute more on different pages. I am expert in Spirituality and different schools of thoughts. I am also part of many NGOs and it will help to provide more accurate information in relative pages.[reply]
