New page reviewer

Hello, Kindly add me as a reviewer. All requirements met. Thanks Kwamevaughan (talk) 08:49, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I think you have good enthusiasm and you are certainly doing great work with Ghana-related topics. But there is little evidence of experience with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, so please apply again when you gain more experience in that area.

I would still like to participate in NPP, I did apply before but was rejected as some of my pages were in AfD 'heading for deletion', In general my article creations have survived well since and have not been deleted, although Bert Biscoe is still potentially heading for deletion (my work on the honors lists was not deleted) and other articles I have made have been nominated as well, like Mir Mohammed Raza, I doubt this is going to stop happening unless I stop making articles, especially as some of my creations are rather weak, so I am applying again (some other editors and Drstrauss suggested I should reapply). I am aware of how policy works, and I help out explaining policy to new users quite a bit. I have been doing some AfC reviewing recently as well. (it has added 700 semi-automated edits to my count, I can't figure out how many articles that is though). Only 30% of my edits are in mainspace, as I work on numerous other areas of the project as well.

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for new page reviewer declined in the past 90 days ([1]). MusikBot talk 16:01, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Alex Shih: As you rejected the previous one, I thought it'd be right to ping you. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:34, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Anarchyte: Thanks for the ping, I was going to recuse myself for this one. I don't think much has changed since the previous request, but this reminds me of the discussions about different skill sets with reviewer and autopatrolled. So it's entirely possible the editor would do well in NPP if he insists, so I wouldn't oppose for this time. Cheers. Alex ShihTalk 11:49, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Might be worth looking into the AFC acceptances, as this user has a prodigiously high acceptance rate. I know AFC has a bit of a higher bar than NPP, but it's worth mentioning. Primefac (talk) 19:12, 22 September 2017 (UTC) update: I genuinely have no opinion on AGIB as an NPR, so please do not take my statements as opposition to their request. It was more of a "here's another aspect to look at when you make your decision" post. Primefac (talk) 17:39, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think Aguyintobooks is ready for this yet. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:17, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies in advance for the wall of text.
What am I doing wrong? I promise not to indiscriminately approve poor quality articles, I am reasonably sure I have not been doing so. Although I have not figured out how to see my AfC log, I only approve articles that I think add to the encyclopedia and wouldn’t be deleted at AfD.
I somewhat doubt that there is anything left for me to learn here (other than the fine detail of sports notability perhaps) so I am not sure waiting would help me, although it may further demonstrate my ability level to others.
Obviously as stated on my userpage, I am more comfortable with including articles than deleting them, but that does not mean I won't delete them, and I have sent numerous articles to AfD when deserving. At the moment I will skip articles in AfC that I am unsure whether would be deleted or not, and focus on declining the obvious promotional/non-notable stuff and accepting articles on places, and obviously notable people.
I will admit that some of my work is on articles created by editors from other countries, these articles always have some issue, normally due to the inability for the editor to understand the guidelines. I feel that the best way to deal with these is to be reasonably forgiving, as the articles themselves are often salvageable or the issues are not insurmountable, possibly due to my background, I think that these editors are generally doing the best they can, and as long as the article adds to Wikipedia and does not break any core guidelines, it is probably alright.
I have been working with some other editors to improve the article wizard (talk) to help deal with this, the idea is that a simpler article wizard would be easier to use, and therfore save us work explaining the guidelines to newcomers.
I generally take advantage of having free access to most subscription academic services via my university, particularly when assessing NPROF drafts. In short I do believe that I would be good at NPP patrolling, and am not overly concerned about my focus on certain areas, since the NPP browser allows for this.
