New page reviewer

For the NPP backlog drive. This is my second time participating in one of these drives (hopefully I will be healthier and less busy this time...) -1ctinus📝🗨 02:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The January backlog drive seems interesting and I need something to do over Christmas break/beyond. I applied for a month-long trial a while back, but was having some mental health issues and just didn't use the tools or even re-apply. My AfC log is relatively lengthy over a period of 3 months. A note about my AfD stats, they are inaccurate. For some reason, when changing my name from "Sir MemeGod" to "EF5", XTools bugged out and only shows random AfDs I've filed/commented on (hence the 90-or-so "no vote detected" ones).

@EF5: Could you explain what happened with Draft:Artwork at the Pentagon, from your perspective? The history is puzzling. – Joe (talk) 10:50, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joe Roe: Sure! I was on an "artwork at the ____" list-making spree (see List of artwork at the United States Capitol complex and Artwork at the World Trade Center (1973–2001)), and I tried my luck at the Pentagon. It would be PRODed for WP:NLIST reasons, which is fair, I didn't know that WP:NOTDATABASE existed at the time, and to avoid it being deleted, I just moved it to draftspace where I could work on it. I guess I forgot about it. I know that doesn't excuse the OR concerns, I guess I just forgot to cite some material, which I'm usually careful about. :) EF5 12:30, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EF5You do realize that the OR concerns are a direct by-product of not following WP:NLIST and not because you forgot to cite material? Sohom (talk) 00:28, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That too, it's a mixture. In my opinion, one self-draftified (I'm fully aware it not meeting NLIST was why I draftified it) article shouldn't impede on the seventy-nine newer articles that I've made after that, none of which are tagged (from what I know). I was given the tools for a trial in late-October, and hopefully my few reviews were at least sufficient. EF5 02:49, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been an AFC reviewer (probationary since March 24). I was off-wiki for some time to take a long break, but I'm back again. Can I get this right for a temporary period of 7 days? I want to explore the difference between New Page Curation and AFC tools. I will request a few more trials later before taking it permanently. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 04:21, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done, that's not how rights work on enwiki. If you want to test something, feel free to ask for the NPR right on testwiki. Sohom (talk) 00:13, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then I will come after a month for requesting the right to clear the backlog drive for February 2025 if required. Thank you. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️✉️📔) 02:43, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In August, I was granted the new page reviewer permission temporarily (link). Due to some IRL stuff I wasn't very active with it, though none of my reviews were problematic. With the upcoming January 2025 Backlog drive, I'd like to re-request the permission to help reduce the backlog. Skyshiftertalk 15:56, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have refrained from requesting new page patroller rights, but now I believe it is time for me to request the rights. I usually deal with CSD, mostly U5 and G11, and most of my requests for CSD have been valid, though sometimes I am a bit bitey towards newcomers. I believe I am thorough enough to understand most of the policies in Wikipedia, and I definitely do not have a conflict of interest. Thank you for your considerations. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥(ContainThisEmber?) 10:09, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The backlog is getting insane and I just want to help. I have well over the needed edit count and time editing. History6042 (talk) 16:00, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
