New page reviewer

I have been editing wikipedia from couple of years and I have been patrolling numerous pages during the session successfully without any contested patrols from other users, so I request for this user right so I can continue my work as New PAGE Patroller on wikipedia. I have been inconsistent this year because of internet gag in my state but will continue my contributions as patroller as soon as internet suspension is over. Thanks....

 Question: Are there any time limits to be observed before tagging articles? --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:09, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I regularly help out with new pages patrol, so I'd like to be able to continue doing so. agtx 21:57, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like I might have gotten skipped over, so perhaps my request wasn't detailed enough. I have ~3700 edits in mainspace, and my CSD log should confirm that I understand the criteria for inclusion. agtx 15:05, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It probably got skipped over because no admin as yet could decide whether this editing profile constitutes 'regular', as you don't appear to have done any patrolling this year. I think it's best to see how regular your editing will be over the next four weeks which will also give you to time to get up to speed with the new tutorial, and then you can apply for the right again. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:22, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Kudpung: This is not entirely clear from the new guidelines, but it appears as though the intention is to restrict new page CSD tagging to those with the right. That's most of what I intend to do (in conjunction with anti-vandalism work), and it's why I said I patrol "regularly." I'd strongly prefer to be able to keep doing that, and I think my track record here shows that I can apply the rest of the new guidelines correctly when I do more general new page patrolling. agtx 00:48, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

During 2014 and 2015 I used to patrol new pages with Special:NewPages as the replaced NP Patrol, and have during 2016 regularly been patrolling new pages for some time with AWB, correcting spell errors and likevise, and will happily continue and increase this as New page reviewer with Special:NewPagesFeed. Dan Koehl (talk) 13:39, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A concern I have is that non-harmful pages were nominated for speedy deletion too soon, in only a few minutes after creation. Dan Koehl can you prove that you have had a look at the guidelines, by pointing me to the place it talks about this? I would recommend that you patrol from the end or somewhere in the middle of the queue. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:08, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I want to become a new page reviewer, I have spent quite a bit of time working with vandalism and want to try something new. NikolaiHo☎️ 03:27, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Nikolaiho:, could you please explain what is wrong with this revision which you patrolled and with your edit of the same article. If you can give a comprehensive answer I am going to grant the right.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I will be truly honest; when I first saw the article R. K. Shevgaonkar, I knew it didn't meet notability standards per WP:PROF or WP:BIO in general. I added a CSD A7 tag but now realized that A7 pertains to credible claim of significance which is notability is beyond. In retrospect, I should have made a PROD or AfD instead. Thanks.
Thank you. Could you please also address the revision I mentioned?--Ymblanter (talk) 20:43, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I patrolled that page because I was soon going to tag it for speedy deletion. NikolaiHo☎️ 03:56, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To help with the backlog of New Page Reviewing. The current backlog is significant. Naraht (talk) 16:39, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As additional information I have over 30,000 edits and have worked on AFC.Naraht (talk) 21:27, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Naraht: Thanks for offering to help. You seem to have never used page curation and haven't done manual patrolling since 2014. Please let us know when you have read the instructions. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am active in AFC, and I would like to reduce the 1.5k backlog in new pages feed. I have already curated around 30-40 new articles without any of them being contested. SilverplateDelta (talk) 17:41, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I was invited to help with new page review backlog, am already AfC reviewer and will gladly help with NPR. Ntb613 (talk) 18:15, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Received an invitation; I've been patrolling articles on-and-off for the past few months on Special:NewPagesFeed and AfC, and would like to be able to continue doing so in the future. Dschslava Δx parlez moi 21:23, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Dschslava: Could you please read Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion and then explain why you should wait for a while before tagging an article with CSD A1, A3, or A7? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:21, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Graeme Bartlett, essentially, the writers need time to expand the article, and as such waiting would probably give a better picture of whether it actually runs afoul of A1,3, or 7. Dschslava Δx parlez moi 19:58, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Work from time to time on New Page patrol, have been doing so for a year or more. New page patrol is about removing the obvious non-notable /spam/copyvios, and suggesting improvements to other articles. Maybe I meet the 200 criteria, probably not, but my history in this area should be sufficient. Joseph2302 22:26, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am a very experienced editor with >100,000 edits mostly on historic sites-related articles but including more than 1000 AFD votes on all kinds of topics, and I want to do New Page Patrolling from time to time. I was trying New Page curation a month or two ago but I am sure I did not perform 200 curations so I would not be "grandfathered" in. Truthfully I am not sure what this "right" will allow me to do that I can't do right now, but I expect it will make something more visible for me or enable me to take a step that another doesn't have to review. (A few minutes ago I just used the NewPagesFeed tool to mark a new troll/vandal page for speedy deletion, and i saw that it was deleted promptly by another editor. What would happen differently with the right?) But just so that I can apply myself with the best ability available, I do request this right. Thanks in advance. doncram 00:36, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am sure I meet the specified criteria, being the holder of several other user rights and having 3000+ edits in total, but I'm not grandfathered. FiendYT 02:00, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: Not suggesting you did anything wrong, but please take a look at Cymru Sovereign. What, if anything, would you do to that article in its current state now? --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:36, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Kudpung: I would currently try to find more information and add to the article, such as sources and things to verify the content. If nothing shows up, and there is no news coverage of the party, I would consider it for deletion. FiendYT 06:15, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To be perfectly honest, I do take a look at the new pages feed and target pages that are orphans, have no references or categories once in a while.
I'd like to review new pages and tag them accordingly as another thing to do aside from reverting vandalism because, despite how entertaining vandalism can be at times, I feel like I can do much more on Wikipedia.

CyanoTex (talk) 10:47, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So far you have done very little new page patrolling. There are a few from several years back, and one speedy delete nomination earlier this month. Without the page curation tools it will be harder for you to easily prove you can use it. However first I would like to see some more evidence that you have read the documentation pages linked from the top. Also find some unsuitable pages, do the talk notification of the writers and apply the correct speedy delete tags. I would like to see 20 or 30 pages tagged or handled appropriately before getting this permission. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:17, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi - I've been a wiki editor for over nine years and I mostly gnome. I read voraciously on here and, having a tertiary level(+) command of the English language, I mostly correct syntax, grammar and punctuation. I also like to trawl through refs for integrity and relevence, though my alacrity in that regard is somewhat challenged; my knowledge of format is limited. I have occasionally expanded articles worth expanding, and also dipped a toe in the AFD world when I felt my contribution might help.

I had NPP rights prior to this new upgrade, though I confess I didn't often visit new pages space, but then I aint been very busy on here recently in any case.

I would like to renew the right because I am a fervent wikipedian with both the experience and temperament to promote that which is encyclopedic; I am a positive thinker and a fairly good communicator, therefore capable of enthusing new editors.

Lastly, I would like the right renewed because it is part of my schtick as a wikipedian - an emblem of authority that might matter to anyone who cares to check out my user page. Less experienced wikipedians are more likely to trust my judgement if I wear the appropiate badge.

Either way I love the medium, so it won't break my heart if I aint accorded the right. MarkDask 17:21, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Graeme - “nonsense” ranges between patent nonsense, (strings of characters produced by random banging on the keyboard), and word salad, (text that by any reasonable standard is unintelligible, i.e. meaning can not be identified). The definition, however, precludes vandalism, hoaxes etc.
Good practice would allow a minimum of ten minutes' delay before tagging A1 and A3, though I would consider 30 minutes more reasonable. A7 and A9 need checking for edit history and previous tagging, (including AFD referral), after which PRODing allows 7 days for improvement, objection or untagging.
Thanks for the test. MarkDask 05:31, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I got a message on my talk page sent by MediaWiki message delivery to active AfC members. I had previously patrolled new pages and I am requesting here to grant me this right so that I may help monitor the new pages. I think I did patrol after Jan 1, 16 but have not been granted the tool automatically.  sami  talk 19:29, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Active AfC member, with rollback, reviewer, autopatrolled, etc., so I think you can be trusted with this. Biblio (talk) Reform project. 22:32, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've been patrolling Special:NewPages for a long time. I have experience both in page patrolling and CSD tagging. I believe I can benefit with patrolling new pages in accordance with notability and other article guidelines. -- LuK3 (Talk) 03:18, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have been regularly a patroller at Special:NewPages since late last year. I have a fairly clean CSD log with two rejections till date out of 190 tags. I have a fair experience in patrolling too. I have read up on WP:NPR and Wikipedia:Page Curation/Help and have a comfortable understanding of these. I understand our deletion policies and have a decent Afd participation. I also understand notability guidelines, have written a few articles, GAs and an FL too. This flag will benefit me in the use of the page curation tool to review pages. Thanks.

I've been an on-and-off pattroller at Special:NewPages for several years and have a pretty clean CSD log (most of the blue links there were either maintenance deletions or were copyvios that were subsequently recreated down the road). I have a good understanding of the deletion deletion policy (although my AfD stats are a bit skewed... I had a somewhat rocky deletionist start where I !voted delete when I shouldn't have, although within the past few years, this has improved quite a bit) and have read the new tutorial and accompanying pages.

 Not done - for now. You've done some excellent content work in the past but you’ve only made 116 edits in the last 12 months. These mainly comprised minor clean ups, two or three taggings, and several votes on RfA. This does not demonstrate a need for the use of the tools or that you would be up to speed with new policies and other changes if you had them. Please do another month of working on Wikpedia, with some measurable work on maintenance such as other patrols and AfD, etc, and then apply again. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:16, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
