I meet the minimum requirements and have 1000+ edits, and want to help reduce that huge backlog. I am a pending changes reviewer and have a history in anti-vandalism work, and want to expland my work into the new-pages section. I have participated in a few AFDs, but will participate in more.

I have been editing articles in wikipedia for some years and came through several edits, uploads, reviews, deletions etc. So I would like to extend my support in woking on the AfC project. SRAppu ^💬 08:33, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done You have had almost 25% of your article creations deleted. While most of these are some of your "earlier" creations (i.e. 2020 and earlier), and I know that consensus has changed a lot even over the last four years (i.e. I am not basing this judgement only on that deletion rate), but the lack of participation at the related AFDs and CSDs makes me concerned. In other words I'm seeing some reasonable page creation but no indication of experience on the other side of the coin (i.e. deletion-related activity) to indicate you know what is good/bad when it comes to reviewing new content.

Re-applying as I spent more time in the AfD as you guys said, I want to help with the backlog, Note, for some reason my AfD stats are not updating and some of my "Draftiy" votes are not counting. (might be because I mispelt it haha) Also even after getting this, I'll still monitor AfD, it's quite fun analyzing AfDs. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I was asking if I could be an AFC reviewer. Having this account in Wikipedia for almost three months, alongside some IP editing before that time, I believe that I should be experienced enough to have this right. If you're wondering, I'm really only requesting this to try to help alleviate the backlog. OhHaiMark (talk) 17:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello? OhHaiMark (talk) 15:04, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, fails minimum criteria. Primefac (talk) 14:08, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you exactly mean by that. As of 8 August, I've been here for three months, I've made over 1000 edits in total, and I've read all the reviewing instructions. OhHaiMark (talk) 15:07, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1000 edits is not one of the criteria. Primefac (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria are:

a Wikipedia account at least 90 days old. (mine's is over 3 months old)
a minimum of 500 undeleted edits to articles (this is not the same as total number of edits). (I have over 1000 undeleted edits, so I'm not sure why you said that edit count doesn't matter)
read and understood the reviewing instructions. (I did that)
a demonstrated understanding of the policies and guidelines mentioned in the reviewing instructions, including the various notability guidelines. (I did that)
evidence of understanding the deletion policy (experience in areas such as CSD/AfD/PROD or page curation, while not mandatory, are beneficial). (I did that)
a willingness and ability to respond in a timely manner to questions about their reviews. (I will do that)

In conclusion, I'm really not sure which criteria I failed at. OhHaiMark (talk) 21:45, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have 486 undeleted edits to articles. Primefac (talk) 00:48, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I assumed that undeleted edits merely meant edits to pages which weren't deleted. Thanks for clarifying. OhHaiMark (talk) 02:30, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How about now? OhHaiMark (talk) 23:30, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am very keen to help with this backlog. I recently found an article that had been sitting on the list for two months- seems like the kind of thing I would like to give a go, see if I can't improve the backlog somewhat.
