I kindly ask for autopatrolled rights in order to reduce the work load of New Page Patrollers. As a New Page patroller myself Im familiar with the important points that make an article valid. Being a user since 2002, I believe I am a trusted and experienced user. Dan Koehl (talk) 16:12, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Most of your articles are short stubs although it is of course important to get something on Wikipedia about all these zoos. You'll understand therefore, as an NPPer, that it does not take 2 seconds to review such articles. Please check out the correct way to create an attribution for translations or content taken fom other-language Wikipedias. Thanks nevertheless for your patrolling - it's badly needed - but do take a moment to re-read WP:NPP, WP:DELETION and to be sure to follow up on the links others have provided on your tp. I'll leave the decision here to another admin. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:14, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes they have been red links for over two years, hopefully they can be developed further. Sitting and trying to get anything substancial from their websites, using Google translation, and googling for any single source for zoos in Bulgaria that can be cited, for sure takes more than 2 seconds. So, the Kb on those articles doesnt really reflect the work behind. Analyzing such an article also takes more time than 2 seconds, checking the coordinates, following the sources, etc. All those articles are correctly made, and if there was more facts to write about, for sure, I would have done so. Still, as coordinator for Project zoos, I hope that putting some 20 articles also about those zoos, will increase the chances that they may be developed further. So, the articles are not mine at all, they are the simply the present content that I could find about the zoos. Of course, I could have added tigers, lions, sebras, ostrich etc, on some of the articles, but I decided to select only what I found as important info. So, scanning the internet, translating websites, etc takes quite an amount of time, which doesnt really get reflected now, when reading the stubs. If those Bulgarian websites produce better facts on their websites, I will be more than happy to submit more info on those stubs. Still, Im happy that I put the energy into that. For anyone who really want to measure my input on Wikipedia, could easily find the over 2 000 articles I have created on the Swedish Wikipedia, with compared to your 51 created articles during ten years. On the other hand, Wikipedia is not a teenagers competition in produced Kilobytes. I truly believe that the stubs I did benefit the wikipedia more than the red links that this project had before I decided to put more energy into the zoo project. But, the articles I wrote have correct coordinates, correct categories, correct source information, and fact box etc. I dont really see any reason for your comments, and I cant see that you found any errors.

@Dan Koehl:, your contributions are obviously good faith and useful. As far as making enwiki translations of articles from other wiki's that is fine too--however it is usually best to maintain the cross-project attribution by performing a transwiki import by requesting it at WP:RFPI. The standard process is to either (a)create a new translation here, then request the transwiki merge or (b) request the foreign page be transwiki'd to your sandbox for translations--then you can move it to mainspace. If some of these pages qualify as cross project translations, please enter the RFPI's and we will merge them in. If you have follow up questions on this topic, please post at WT:RFPI. — xaosfluxTalk05:15, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Marking notdone, for now--please be sure to review the transwiki comments above and ask questions if you have any; I suggest that you continue to create new articles and re-request this access in a month. Please reference this version (Special:PermanentLink/638004641) in your next request. Happy editing, — xaosfluxTalk05:15, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have been on the wikipedia for a while and I have made about 50 mainspace articles on english wikipedia, so I request these rights to reduce load on new page patrollers being the new page patroller myself. thanks Night Fury (Talk to me) 13:59, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Inclined to decline at this point for a few reasons:
Most of the articles created by this user are short stubs that take very little time for NPP-ers anyway
Some of the articles at present have some close paraphrasing issues; for example, Dalbir Singh Suhag has a sentence entirely copied from this source. While the user in question did not appear to introduce that edit, it happened shortly after creation, and the user in question did not notice/revert/warn, so if an NPP-er came along, perhaps they could.
Articles relating to Indian politics have a propensity to be contentious and worth an extra set of eyes.
The user in question does not create articles terribly frequently such that he or she is a burden on reviewers ... only two articles created in the last six months, if I am reading correctly.
Overall, the user appears to be a good faith contributor, but at this time, I am not sure granting autopatrolled is necessary or in the best interests of the project. Thanks you, Gfosankar, for all your contributions, though. I am not going to formally decline at this point, and will let another admin issue a final call unless this drags on more than a few days, but at this time, would recommend not granting the additional right.Not doneGoPhightins!04:27, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unsure how many article creations I have under my belt now, as I can never get the tool to finish loading the page. However, it's more than you can count on one hand and after 5 years, 24,000 edits and three years AfCing, I'm quite familiar with the criteria for inclusion. I'd like the flag because it's quite annoying to keep getting notifications, alerts and watchlist entries every time someone marks, patrols or curates a page I created.
