I understand the role of a pending changes reviewer, by reviewing the changes listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PendingChanges However, do not have anything to proof my ability on this role as a reviewer (rather than the editor) since I didn' review special pages, but would like to do that. I have only reviewed normal pages so far, sometimes reverting vandalism. I mostly did edits by my own in the past, I have 2654 edits between 8 August 2006 and 29 November 2020, I have some experience in Wikipedia editing, including 7 new pages, and I have also substantially contributed to some pages like CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP4F2, Androgen backdoor pathway, 21-Hydroxylase, Late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia, 11-Deoxycortisol, Steroid 11β-hydroxylase, Histamine N-methyltransferase, etc. Thank you! 17:27, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
@Sphilbrick and Diannaa: Do either of you have concerns from the copyright violations from August? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 07:03, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The user removed the warnings without comment so it's hard to say whether they understand the issue. The long gaps in contributions makes this account more like a new account as of June 2020, since that's when most of the contributions have taken place.— Diannaa (talk) 15:35, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Diannaa:According to WP:DRC I might have done so to confirm that I understand the issue rather than to make the talk page hall of shame, isn't it? These warnings and comments were still in the history page and freely available, and I have contacted you to show I understood, so the pages Histamine N-methyltransferase and PKNOX2 are now in good standing!? I have just restored all the comments and configured an archive bot, so all the comments are now available in the archive for your convenience.

User:PopePompus

I would like to become a pending changes reviewer. I have recently retired so I have a lot more time to devote to Wikipedia. Reviewing pending changes seems to be a good "entry level" step to begin moving beyond just making my own edits to articles. PopePompus (talk) 06:22, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@PopePompus: Pending changes requires the user to understand content policies and how to distinguish vandalism. Currently, I do not see many counter-vandalism edits in your contributions. Would you be willing to reapply in a few months time when you have more experience in the relevant areas? Regards, Anarchyte (talk • work) 08:17, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, OK, but I thought doing pending changes edits was the way one gained experience doing counter-vandalism edits.PopePompus (talk) 15:15, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Opalzukor

Criteria for pending changes reviewer:

1: You have an account, and routinely edit.
2: You have a reasonable editing history – as a guide, enough edits that a track record can be established.
3: You have read our policy on vandalism and understand what is vandalism and what is not.
4: You are familiar with the basic content policies: Biographies of living persons, Neutral point of view, No original research, Verifiability and What Wikipedia is not.
5: You are familiar with the basic legal policy: Wikipedia:Copyrights.
6: You have read the guideline on reviewing.

1: I do, as seen on my contribs page.
2: I have a track record with some issues, however most of my edits are just anti-vandalism.
3: I have, as shown by my contributions.
4: I have read and understand the policies, and can summarise them accordingly.
5: I have removed content because of COPYVIOS before. As before, I understand the policy.
6: I have read the guideline, understand it, and can summarise it as needed.

If this request fails, I expect it to be due to criterion 2. Opal|zukor(discuss) 20:47, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Opalzukor: Can you please give further explanation for [1] [2] [3] [4]? Anarchyte (talk • work) 13:09, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Anarchyte: The edit to Devonian by the "vandal" was clearly a test. However, I used the wrong RW button. The edit to Joe Sutter added text to the wrong section of the article - instead of being in the article body, it came after the cats. Again, wrong edit summary; this time it was due to the claim not having an inline source after it. The edit to USS Bonhomme Richard added an external link to an article's body, which is a clear violation of WP:ELPOINTS. However, instead of reverting, I should have made it a citation, and may have bit the IP editor. Lastly, the edit to Ghosts was an unnecessary edit that made the plot summary longer and added "the sad truth and the actual events that took place", which doesn't have an encyclopedic tone. All in all, I could do with fixing things myself a bit more, instead of just removing entire edits. Thank you for taking the time to review my track record.

Procedural request as my PCR rights expired recently. While I have not really used the tool as often, I have patrolled pending changes before and have an understanding on what should be rejected and what should be accepted. Aasim (talk) 08:00, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hidden Hills Editor

I'm interested in assisting with the clearing of backlogs of pending changes awaiting review. I routinely create new pages and check them frequently on my watchlist to ensure there is no vandalism and if there is I quickly revert. When I am not creating new pages, I like to "improve" articles by correcting grammar/reformatting poorly written articles. I feel that I have an adequate amount of both edits and knowledge to be approved. Thank you! Hidden Hills Editor (talk) 22:41, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I'm not seeing a need just yet. Your edits are not on pages that have pending changes protection, and you have very little counter-vandalism experience. I'd like to see more time spent here before granting. Anarchyte (talk • work) 12:53, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Heba Aisha

I m here since 5 months, contributed with 20+ articles and fighting with vandals for sometimes. I also review pending changes but I can only restore the last accepted version. With these rights I would be able to accept constructive changes too. I think its right time to ask for at least one extended right. Heba Aisha (talk) 23:52, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You're consistently making bad reverts. I looked through a few of your most recent ones and I had to undo two of them myself. Please return when you have more experience, and be more methodical with your reverting please. Anarchyte (talk • work) 13:01, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:SnazzyInfinity

Hello! I am requesting the role of a pending changes reviewer. As seen by my edit history (I would think over 500 is a lot) I have dedication to wikipedia. I will admit I have made questionable [5] edits in the past, but that is because I was heavily unfamiliar with wikipedia's guidelines (which I now am, and have read Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes). Given my recent history, making 2 pages and heavily contributing to some more, I would consider myself qualified. I do have (little) experience with fighting vandalism, and I am familiar with twinkle. I do feel under-qualified compared to some other requests, but I still think I should be put into consideration. If not chosen, I'd like some feedback on why. Thanks for your time! SnazzyInfinity (talk • contribs) 16:59, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done for a month trial. None of the edits I reviewed had glaring issues, but please make sure you're warning the people you're reverting. I didn't see a single warning given out. Also, I wouldn't call seven edits with Twinkle familiarity, but you'll have time to get used to it. Anarchyte (talk • work) 13:10, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:JJPMaster

I am an AfC reviewer and new page reviewer, and I am very much interested in pending changes review. I, through my training at NPP school, have grown to understand Wikipedia's policies. I also understand the reviewing guidelines, and I also understand all of the policies and guidelines associated with said reviewing guidelines (especially BLP, patent nonsense, vandalism, libel and copyright violations), and the core content policies. I would therefore like to request a trial period for the pending changes reviewer right. JJP...MASTER![talk to] JJP... master? 22:51, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - Like Amanda, I am also concerned with the low amount of edits, but in this case, your low amount of counter-vandalism. However, none of the edits I reviewed were problematic, so I am willing to grant your request of a trial period for a month. Anarchyte (talk • work) 13:13, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Coreykai

One of my favourite parts about editing on Wikipedia, is the removal of vandalism. I am experienced with all the proper warning templates, and I have already warned accounts of their vandalism or simply disruptive editing. Even though I have only been editing on Wikipedia about 9 weeks, I have made almost 600 non-contested edits to the main-space, I am an extended confirmed user and I am a writer / english teacher in real life. I believe I am experienced enough to obtain this important role, and I am very present on Wikipedia, which will help with the quick reviewing of unwanted edits to Wikipedia! Coreykai (talk) 16:14, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You do not have enough counter-vandalism experience yet. You've only used the undo tool four times to revert a user that wasn't yourself. Further, a large portion of your edits have been uncontroversial "cleanup" edits (which should've instead been described as "short desc improvements"). This does not show an understanding of our content or vandalism policies. Anarchyte (talk • work) 12:36, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:MichaelMaggs

Once a month or so I stumble across pending edits on pages I'm watching, such as just now at at Santa Claus's reindeer. It would be good if I could just accept/reject them rather than leaving them for someone else or reverting and re-doing the edit. Almost all that I see are pretty straightforward, and of course I'd leave any I was uncertain about.

User:History DMZ

Hello Wikipedia administrator, I wish to request the Pending changes reviewer user right in order to help good editors get their changes OK'd (and OK'd them faster), modify/ensure that pending changes are acceptable for public view, and filter out unconstructive edits from vandals and people not here to build an encyclopedia. This tool would be especially useful for when DatBot reports a "very high" pending changes backlog (Level 1) as well as for helping out with WikiProject Days of the year's work with its eponymous 366 PC-protected pages. I'm an editor with 2,700+ global edits and 9+ months of service, including almost 1,400 mainspace edits on en.Wikipedia. Please note that I am familiar with the relevant Wikipedia policies (BLP, vandalism, and copyright) and WP:RPC's reviewing guidelines. I'm also a Recent changes patroller who's already been trusted with the Rollback user right and AWB permissions. I know that you can trust me with this important tool also. Thank you for your consideration, History DMZ (talk)+(ping) 00:13, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:SpringProof

Hi! I've been recently very interested in anti-vandalism and have contributed most of my past edits to that. I'm always disappointed when I see a [pending review] tag and can't do anything about it. I think that working on the pending changes backlog could be really fun and helpful. Although I'm not 100% accurate with my rollbacks—who is?—I immediately reverse the rollback when I spot my mistake. I'm also thinking of applying for rollback rights, but currently I'm alright with Twinkle. Thanks for your consideration! :) signed, SpringProof talk 02:01, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
