He is President & CEO of Blackhawk Partners, Inc., Founder & President of the Financial Policy Council and President & Founder of the U.S Committee for a Free Lebanon.[1][better source needed] Abdelnour is the son of Lebanese industrialist and former MP Khalil Abdelnour (1992-2000) and the nephew of former Lebanese mogul financier and MP Salem Abdelnour (1960-1964 and 1972-1992)[11]
Education[edit source] Abdelnour was born in Beirut, Lebanon.[2] He received a BS degree in Economics in 1982 from the American University of Beirut, and an MBA degree in finance from the Wharton School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania. [4] Activism[edit source] Abdelnour was a founding member of the United States Committee for A Free Lebanon, an immigrant association lobbying the United States government to oppose Syria's influence in Lebanon, supporting the Syria Accountability Act.[5] He supported the neoconservative Middle East Forum, co-authoring a Forum study whose signatories included later George W. Bush administration officials Paula Dobriansky and Douglas Feith.[6] Career[edit source] Following graduation Abdelnour worked as an investment banker at Drexel Burnham Lambert,[5] where he was a successful junk bond trader under Michael Milken.[2] In 2006 he founded his own investment company/private family office after a career on Wall Street trading physical commodities and advising and investing in privately held companies.[7][8][9] In 2011 he wrote Economic Warfare: Secrets of Wealth Creation in the Age of Welfare Politics, arguing that governments should focus on wealth creation, not job creation.[10] Abdelnour is a regular speaker[12][13] and prolific writer on wealth creation, physical commodities trading and Middle East geo-political analysis at industry conferences & TV outlets nationwide including but not limited to Freedom Fest, The Atlas Society, Fox News, Newsmax, and World Net Daily.

Deletion of the article
KGirlTrucker81, I saw you asked to delete the article Kenny Nsumbu Mpaka because you didn't see any reference/ external links to a reliable source. Now you can take a look and will see references to reliable sources. Is it possible to cancel the deletion of this article?
I would like to thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MahemeneT (talk • contribs) 23:55, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Take a look at the referencing for beginners tutorial if you need help on citing sources. But you'll have 7 days to fill the refs in the article before it gets deleted and feel free to remove the BLP PROD template yourself once you add them. KGirlTrucker81 talk what I'm been doing 01:31, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
I have deleted the featured article review for the above article because FAR is designed to re-assess articles that are already featured not to promote articles that are not featured yet. The process you meant to use is at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. However, I should warn you that the article will not be promoted in its current form because it does not meet Wikipedia:Featured article criteria. In particular, it contains unsourced paragraphs and is labeled for "citation needed" in at least one place. These are themselves sufficient grounds to decline featured status. Best wishes, DrKay (talk) 12:48, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Interstate 90
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Interstate 90 you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Spotting copyvio
Hallo, in St. Mary's Church Finedon which you tagged, the wording "this present church of ours" seems a good clue that the text may not have been written for Wikipedia but lifted from somewhere else - turns out to be a pure copyright violation of http://www.stmarysfinedon.co.uk/ (though the creating editor has the same name as the church webmaster, so may, or may not, actually own the copyright). It's worth checking a case like this: I googled the phrase "than any other building in Finedon" as something distinctive, and it found the goods. (Plus several other places where the same text had been recycled!) PamD 23:21, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

ORCP
Hello. I saw you recently contributed to a poll at WP:ORCP. Specifically, you suggest that someone "wait 4 more years" before applying at RfA again. You're certainly welcome to your opinions and to have your own RfA criteria, but telling someone to wait four years is pretty far outside of normal consensus. This could unnecessarily discourage someone to such a degree that they never try again. It's just something to think about. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:03, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi KGirlTrucker81, please be careful when approving edits that add images to articles. This edit that you accepted added a blatant copyright-violating image to the article.

- Per the first rule of WP:RVW#General criteria, are you checking the actual content being added and the source, and whether or not they comply with WP:BLP? this edit that you accepted did not, as the addition was a WP:POV and WP:SYN edit, trying to claim it was a "scandal" or "notorious" (POV language that does definitely require better sourcing and follow the principles of WP:YESPOV) Or did you just assume that it was OK merely because there was any source cited.

Foreign-language articles
You can usually find out what language an article is in by feeding it, or a chunk of it, to Google translate, setting it to "Detect language". If you then add the language to the "notenglish" template, e.g. {{Not English|Spanish}}, the template when expanded on the article page includes a link to a Google translation, which is useful for reviewers. Machine translations are not good enough for articles, but are often enough to tell that an article can be speedy-tagged as A7 or A10 or G11, or PRODded.

It didn't really matter whether it was blank or a test. Either way it wasn't a valid submission, and it was an editor playing around.

Thanks for the speedy acceptance of "List of birds of Tennessee". I made in-line references as requested. However, I don't see either the need or the possibility for additional references as also requested - the list was taken directly from the primary source as referenced.

Please be sure to use Google to at least identify the the langugage and then decide if it should already be tagged for deletion, and to notify the the creator of the 'not English' tag. For more information please see WP:NPP#Foreign language pages (WP:Notenglish). If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:06, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

A note about AFC declines
I was on IRC and a helpee mentioned their declined page Draft:ATMIA. I see that you have declined based on a lack of inline citations. While it's not an official policy, the unofficial consensus between the AFC reviewers is that ilc should be used primarily for BLP drafts (since they must have inline citations). For businesses and other entities inline citations are not as vital (especially if they have good references). In addition (also unofficially) ilc could be used for "this draft is good enough but needs to have the refs in the body of the text" (again, a bit more for BLP articles). Cheers, Primefac (talk) 16:01, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, not that much inline ciations besides BLPs. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 17:13, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
- Please note that lack of inline citations is not a valid reason to decline drafts at AFC except for BLP drafts (and a few other cases which almost never occur in drafts at AFC). Primefac is actually mistaken, the requirement is in fact backed up by policy, not merely "unofficial consensus", see WP:MINREF. Please take some time to review the AFC Reviewing instructions before you continue doing reviews. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:19, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- Roger, thanks for the heads up. I was informed of the policy (way back in the day) but clearly didn't remember it being a policy. Learn something new every day! Primefac (talk) 00:56, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

08:34:35, 3 October 2016 review of submission by Animech.79
- Animech.79 (talk · contribs)
Sir, This Time I have done a good amount studies and build up references as link to get this article validated. Yes I understand that being a beginner there are possibilities of format error and statement flaws, by the way I can improve it and correct with your valuable guidance to get my page "Nadelakar" Published.
This write-up would be significant to bring the efforts of the volumetrically largest community in the state of Kerala, India, which is being called as Thiyyar Warrior, so get this draft publicized is very important achievement in this world of information technology. Secondly this draft will not result in any community differences rather it will unite and teach each community of this place to respect each other. Ultimately the objective to show that human race is interconnected and the changes are just a matter of evolution.
May I kindly know the area of concerns, if any and let me know your inputs to get this published.
- Per the declining reason, you may fix the format to get it improved. If you want more questions visit the teahouse. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 20:00, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
- Animech.79, I just declined your draft again. You have no references. Wikipedia is not a valid reference. Blogspot (and other blogs) are not valid references. You really need to add some, from independent reliable sources like newspapers and magazines.
- Additionally, I am really struggling to get through the actual grammar and sentence structure of this draft. I strongly suggest you find someone to assist you in the actual prose, as it is very difficult to read in its current format.
- Please do not resubmit your draft until these two issues have been fixed. I highly suggest reading through Your first article. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance.

UAA
Greetings, KGirl. I wanted to drop by and say I greatly appreciate and thank you for your work at UAA. There is one thing I'd like to suggest. It says in the UAA instructions, Promotional violations require indisputable evidence. Do not report a username merely because it "looks" promotional. For there to be a violation, there must be edits or log entries that clearly link them to a particular company, organization, group, product, or website.
I have seen you report seemingly promotional accounts from which no edits have been made, as I did when I started my now-major work at UAA.
I've found that some users with usernames that appear promotional do make constructive, non-promotional edits, and there are also some who do make promotional edits or pages, but there is no link between the contributions and the username. In these cases, I tend to leave the user a {{Uw-username}} (or, in the second case, {{Uw-coi-username}} if there appears to be a related COI) message, as I think that's probably the best thing to do. If a user with a seemingly promotional username has not yet edited, or if the username isn't blatantly promotional, it's best to wait until they edit.
Now, I have a feeling I may be doing this part wrong, so you may wish to ignore this, but when I come across a user with a username that appears promotional, and who creates a page about an organisation/group/website represented by the username, but the contributions indicate a mere COI rather than unambiguous promotion, I tend to leave the user a {{Uw-coi-username}} message, to let them know of the username and COI policies and give them a chance to get their account renamed or abandon it, rather than going straight to UAA and letting them get immediately blocked. In fact, I probably am doing it wrong, because in these cases, the usernames do still violate the username policy, as there is a direct link to the edits, and a soft block can take care of it while avoiding biting.
It would be helpful if you could take this approach in the future. Once again, thanks for your UAA work! Regards, Linguist 111 If you reply here, please add {{ping|Linguist111}} to the start of your message 13:14, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Linguist111: You welcome, and thanks for the advice! KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 13:26, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- Linguist111, just a thought regarding your last paragraph: I see a ton of promotional usernames via the IRC help chat, and even if they have created promotional stuff directly connected I still leave a warning on their talk page; 99% of the time they didn't even realize they were violating the guidelines. So I completely agree with you! Primefac (talk) 18:23, 9 October 2016 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
- @Primefac: Thanks. Glad to hear I'm not alone on that. I personally think that doing it that way is better for those who haven't edited promotionally. Blocking a user immediately without prior notice, even if it's a soft block, can be a bit bitey, because I fear it may deter them. Letting them know about the username policy and giving them a chance to adhere to it is better practice than drive-by blocking, which they could have avoided if they'd just known about the UNP. I didn't know there was a UNP when I first registered; I just wasn't interested in creating or dealing with articles about companies, or any other articles for that matter at the time.
One thing I also want to mention, being someone who reports to and clerks at UAA quite a lot, and finds and speedy-tags a lot of pages, is the speedy-tagging of newly-created pages about a company, under a matching username, that are not pure spam, but rather have a COI problem. Pages that are clearly spam and unencyclopedic (containing, for example, "At XYZ Company we only give you the best! Come and buy our products now!...") do meet CSD and can easily be speedied, with the creator blocked if necessary. But suppose that same user wrote an encyclopedic, descriptive, and well-sourced article with no flagrant promotion about the same company (e.g. "XYZ Company is a [whatever] company based in [place]. It was founded in [year] by [founder]...). I see many pages like this that don't look like pure spam speedy-tagged and deleted and their creators blocked in the presence of a username–article correlation, while that may not have happened had the person had a policy-compliant username. I have in the past speedy-tagged pages like that and I fear I've been bitey. Linguist 111 If you reply here, please add {{ping|Linguist111}} to the start of your message 19:48, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:StudioEyeconic
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on your user page, User talk:StudioEyeconic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

In all my time editing Wikipedia I have yet to see a blog meet said criteria (though I do recognize that it's huge and I've only edited probably 0.001% of all the articles). So... 99% of the time "blog=bad" as far as references go. As a note, the link you used is a failed proposal, i.e. it's not policy. Primefac (talk) 04:52, 16 October 2016 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Pending changes
I cited information in Geostorm's infobox because an IP editor kept adding unsourced production companies. In [1] and [2], you accepted edits two edits from an IP. It's very sneaky disruption, and it looks like the edit is legit. However, if you check the source, you'll see that the IP editor is misrepresenting it – the information cited does not exist in the source. It often pays to be paranoid when you're working on PC1-protected articles if you're not aware of the original reason why they were protected. This IP editor's disruption is why the article was protected in the first place. If you continue to let the disruption through, I'll have to request semi-protection, because PC1 is obviously not working. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:33, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, when you reviewed Draft:Juliette Ashby you gave an invalid decline reason. All of the references in the draft are in fact inline citations. Please take care when selecting a decline reason from the menu, a slip of the mouse can easily result in a nonsensical message being delivered to the draft's author. I have reverted it.

Hello! I manage the social media for SHN and I am new to editing Wikipedia. We own and operate the [Orpheum Theatre] and the [Golden Gate Theatre] I wanted to remove the addresses, because we created new official Facebook pages for these venues here and here. However, our patrons keep checking in to the Wiki pages here and here, which have no affiliation with us. Because they have been checking in to the Wiki page, our official page has not shown up on Facebook. I have been in contact with Facebook support, and they are unable to merge our Wiki pages. So I would like to remove the address, so our patrons can check in to our official pages. Does that make sense? I can add the addresses in the body of the article. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello KGirlTrucker81. I received your message regarding the article "Alexia Vassiliou" that I submitted for review. I am not familiar with how the process of submitting on Wikipedia works 100%, and would like your help to get this up on Wikipedia, if possible... The person I am writing about is a well known singer/composer in Greece & Cyprus. She has a wikipedia page up in Greek (Aλέξια), but have translated it into English so that she can have one up on the english site. I read your comment regarding the advertisement, and I can rewrite that by including who mentioned some of the information vs just putting the reference, but is that the only thing wrong?

- As far as I am aware no :) This was probably petty vandalism, however its *possible* (but very unlikely) that Noel played those instruments once on a song (I'm not a huge Oasis or HFB fan). Infobox's for musicians however *only* include their main instrument/s. Not things they dabble in once or twice. The maraccas and harmonica are feasible but unlikely. Cowbell and Digiridoo? It takes years of practice to become a competant Digiridoo player and the sound it makes is hardly in keeping with Noel's musical style.

21:55:05, 26 October 2016 review of submission by Mirandaga
I've added the references requested as best I can. I'm not sure if my attempt to re-submit was successful. If not, please advise. Mirandaga (talk) 21:55, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Mirandaga, you have not resubmitted your draft. You need to click the "Resubmit" link found in the decline notice. As a note regarding references: you should not just link to the generic homepage of a source, but should link directly to the awards list itself. Additionally, the references you've given do not specifically talk about Berger. You should find more coverage specifically about him. What you have is fine, you just need more.

Nominating Doctor Strange for GA
Thank you for feeling the need to nominate Doctor Strange (film) for a Good Article. However, films that have not released, or are currently in theaters are NOT eligible to be nominated. Articles can be nominated once the box office has stabilized and is no longer changing. This article will be nominated again when this has happened. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:07, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- OK :) KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 03:10, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- KGirlTrucker81, you will want to read the GA nomination instructions page before you nominate any further articles for GA. In particular, note that if you have not been a significant editor on the article, you should post to the article's talk page and check with the people who have put significant work into the article to see whether they think the article is ready to be nominated before you submit a nomination. In this case, you would have gotten the above response and known not to nominate it. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:09, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
Lili Darvas
Well I took the BLP prod off of Lili Darvas, if you read the article, it was not a living person. I did put a IMDB link as the EL, but she does need more refs and the article does need clean up. Wgolf (talk) 01:17, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi KGirlTrucker81,
Your feedback on my Roseland Trust article is much appreciated. Could you point out the specific sections of my article that need to be revised? For the second submission, I want to make sure no sections read like advertisements and all red flags are addressed. If you could provide specific guidance/tips for a successful second submission, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!Greg8192 (talk) 21:39, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.
- Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
- Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
- Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Request on 21:33:49, 4 November 2016 for assistance on AfC submission by Alexgsd
Hi - thanks for the quick review!
You rejected the article because of a citation reference to a blog. Is it citation 19 ("TMR Blog") that's of concern?
If so, I'm not entirely sure of the best way to handle this and could use some guidance. The cited page is from the site of a respected literary journal; they just happen to announce their contest results as blog posts. I.e., this is not some private individual's blog, but a solid organization's website that happens to include a blog.Is there an acceptable way to reference that page, or should I just reference the home page of their site (not as useful, since the visitor would have to then search their site to find the relevant info)?
Open to suggestions - many thanks. Alexgsd (talk) 21:33, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
Alexgsd (talk) 21:33, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, using blogs as references is mostly no. Reliable sources are required for independent notability such as a newspaper review or news site reference. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 21:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

03:16:17, 5 November 2016 review of submission by Alexgsd
Per your advice that blogs are not acceptable in citations, I've substituted the Missouri Review main site URL for the link to their blog (in citation #19). A visitor could use their site's native search tool to locate the contest results being referenced in citation #19.
- The draft you resubmited now been accepted. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 11:57, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for accepting the article, @KGirlTrucker81. Can you give me some guidance on why the article still has the warning "This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification"? I've cited references for every factual item I could (25 citations for a very short article). What more is expected here? Also, the article is not coming up in the primary Wikipedia search, though it appears in secondary results. Does that just take some time? Thanks as always! Alexgsd (talk) 17:03, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
- See Help:Maintenance template removal if you want help resloving article issues. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 20:25, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
KGirlTrucker81, it looks like you reverted my removal of the maintenance template. I did read the article you suggested and am still a bit stumped as to what's required here. E.g., do I need citations for the year and place of birth, college graduation year, and residence in the Chicago area? Being new at this (as you've guessed...), I modeled my article on some other author articles, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Shepard. Those have similar biographical details, largely without citations, and don't display the maintenance warning. Can you guide me on how to resolve this? I'm sorry for the dumb questions...just getting oriented here and it's a bit overwhelming to say the least. Alexgsd (talk) 22:27, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
- Unless the section is sourced, please don't remove it. The "find sources" inside the template will help you find a source. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 23:02, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
Why did you accept this revision?
Hi KGirlTrucker, hope you're having a great day. Thanks for your constructive criticism over at ORCP, however, on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (UK series 16), you accepted this [3] revision, however, it was completely unsourced and unverifiable, so I unaccepted and reverted the edit. Was this a genuine error? Class455 (talk) 17:54, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
- It is possbily unsourced but I mostly agreed with the change made. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 18:15, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
- The page was protected because of persistent addition unsourced content though. On that particular page, don't accept anything unless its backed up with a source, as most of the edits submitted (until the official lineup is released) are just rumours and gossip.

Accepting bad edits
Why did you accept this edit here? It was quite obvious vandalism.
Looking back through your talk page it would seem you have been questioned a number of times about accepting bad revisions on articles. If you don't have time to review edits properly, or aren't good at spotting vandalism, maybe accepting revisions isn't for you? --Escape Orbit (Talk) 17:41, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- Per WP:Reviewing, PC reviewers don't take responlitblity regardless what they accept. They added unsourced content and may be vandalism. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 17:52, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- Erm, just to clear up any confusion, you can decline revisions in which vandalism is present through PCR. I've seen a previous discussion here in which someone requested your PCR be revoked. I don't want that to have to happen, but it may well do if this continues. Patient Zerotalk 18:57, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, but I already know what is vandalism is and is not but I don't want to get dragged to ANI, that was Qed237 who requested it but stale for now. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 19:16, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- I know you do. I am not doubting that. But please, don't accept edits that are obvious vandalism, as it is essentially the same thing as ignoring vandalism when one spots it on an article (and I couldn't ever bring myself to do that). You could well end up at AN/I for this should your accepting of bad faith edits persist. Patient Zerotalk 13:42, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I came here because of a bad accepted edit as well. You recently accepted three edits on Simon Hopkinson that added a joke about Gavin Free. The entire reason that page is protected is because people keep adding jokes about Gavin Free, so accepting those edits completely undermines the protection. If you're not going to take the time to verify that an edit is not vandalism, then please do not accept the edit. Thanks, IagoQnsi (talk) 05:03, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

Formatting issues
Formatting issues are never a reason to decline a draft, as you did at Draft:Bharti Sharma Kshitij. If a perfectly valid draft is badly formatted, it should be fixed and accepted, not declined so that the creator (probably unfamiliar with the "proper" way of formatting") has to struggle through the process (and wait of resubmitting). There are a bunch of dropdown decline reasons, and the custom reason should only be used if it really doesn't fit any one of them (or if it breaks multiple decline reasons equally). Cheers, Primefac (talk) 15:51, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, I thought formatting issues not a vaild reason to decline but thanks for the advice! KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 17:23, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review needs your help
Hi KGirlTrucker81,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.
