- @Newroderick895: -- -- -- is talking saying you need more than 500 article edits. That means you have to have made 500 edits to articles, not just, for example your userpage. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it's a little early to request this right. Get comfortable with policies and guideline for a month or two and then you will be considered.

- I use Xtools and does Main mean article? Newroderick895 13:40, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- Yes. It is called "Main" because it is the main space, the articles, what we should be trying to build instead of losing our times at drama boards of all sorts. L293D (☎ • ✎) 14:00, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
- Then i am almost 500, so if i reach that, please accept it! Newroderick895 14:09, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

- AfC reviewing requires extensive knowledge of inclusion and deletion policy. I'm working on a guide that you may find helpful in building experience and a demonstrated track record that qualifies an editor for AfC and WP:NPR. User:Legacypac/Cleanup Guide Good luck and I'm always looking for suggestions on making the guide better. Legacypac (talk) 16:19, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
- Comment-@Newroderick895:--As evident by your behavior at PFac's t/p and over here, if you are so aggressive to well-established-users, who are advising/replying to you in good faith and so defensive about the retrieval of a minor permission, how you're going to behave in a proper and civil manner, when the creators of every draft rejected by you, returns and ask you queries after queries, for they firmly believe that their startup/garage-band is the most notable thing to happen in the universe post Big-Bang?! And, frankly, I'm not seeing any minimal understanding of meta-issues from your editing-patterns.So, try after about 3 months of AFD participation and good content creation.Best,~ Winged BladesGodric 04:42, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
how did i reject or accept drafts?, i never did such thing. Newroderick895 15:26, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- Comment:@Newroderick895: Winged blades was referring to situations likely to arise if you were to be granted any permissions relating to this project.
- As a freindly word of advice, I would suggest you follow the recommendations made above and re-apply at a later date. You are not doing yourself any favours by continuing to pursue matters here. Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 15:40, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

- I am interested to be an AfC reviewer. My previous request was declined because of lack of content creation. However, I created two articles since then and contributed to content in some articles related to the Commonwealth Games so there is more content creation since the previous request.

I do not want it now due to lack of time but should I have time can I help?with GA out i should have time to help to reduce the backlog Quek157 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Quek157 (talk) 09:51, 5 May 2018 (UTC)- just to add, I wanted to help because I am seeing too many articles taken to Afds which can be saved if the authors can make it proper at first as well as too many articles that are deleted where they should not need to be created. --Quek157 (talk) 19:05, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

- Not done. You have over 500 mainspace edits but they are all tiny minor edits of a few bytes each. The clean up work you do is very important, but it is not of the kind that demonstrates that you have the experience and knowledge of policies and guidelines for reviewing drafts.

I am interested in joining your 'Articles for creation' program and help with your rising backlog, I literally just reached 500 main edits and decided to try and apply. But if I am not accepted at first I will understand, I can always try again in the future haha.
Have a nice day,
James James Richards 03:27, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- 500 edits is just one of the requirements. A good understanding of deletion policy and what is an acceptable answer is even more important. You might find User:Legacypac/Cleanup Guide useful in developing experience in these areas. Legacypac (talk) 06:59, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
- Not done These are all minor minor edits, mostly unsourced content additions, and no use of edit summaries. Please address these issues and gain some experience as a Recent Changes or Vandalism patroller first. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:47, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

- I have been reverting vandalism for a while now. Over a month ago, I started patrolling Special:NewPagesFeed several times a day - cleaning them up, expanding them, moving them appropriately, adding maintenance templates to them, requesting for them to be merged, and/or tagging them for speedy deletion/PROD. I would really like to become a part of this project and help out with the AfC backlog, which is why I'm requesting to become a participant.--SkyGazer 512 What will you say? / What did I do? 20:02, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
Good CSD log and good 17 articles created with zero deletes. You should ask for New Page Patrol WP:PERM as that is closely associated with AfC. Legacypac (talk) 20:28, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Legacypac: I'm actually planning on requesting for the New Page Reviewer right sometime in the near future. However, it seems like they prefer requesters to be active AfC reviewers, which I'm not right now. :)--SkyGazer 512 What will you say? / What did I do? 22:46, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Also, I think it would probably be best if I reviewed new pages for about another month or so before applying, just to make sure I'm solid on CSD.--SkyGazer 512 What will you say? / What did I do? 22:48, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
- Very good. I expect NPR flag will be an AfC requirement at some point soon as we try to align the processes. Legacypac (talk) 05:05, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- will existing Afc reviewers be given the NPR flag (I know and read through the entire conversation in the project page) based on (a conseusus reach) criteria instead of asking at WP:PERM. And what are the key difference in criteria for Afc and NPP as on paper they are the same. These need not to be clarified here just food for thought --Quek157 (talk) 11:39, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Quek157:NPP criteria are stronger enforced, thats the main difference. That's how I got rejected at NPP. -- » Shadowowl | talk 14:18, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

- Not done for now. Based on your talk page you have a delightful temperament, which is important for an AFC reviewer, but there is very experience in any of the "content quality" areas (XFD, CSD, WP space, etc) and a lot of your edits are automated (or semi-automated). I suggest you hang around WT:AFC for a while, maybe join in some discussions, and ask again in a few months. Primefac (talk) 15:56, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

- Siddiqsazzad001 (talk · contribs · xtools · pages created · logs (block • csd • prod) · afd)
- Hi. I have knowledge about criteria. I know which article should be reviewed or which should be not. I have good knowledge about WP:MOS policy. All the article should be from the neutral point of view. I could help wiki to review the perfect article. Thank you, Siddiqsazzad001 <Talk/> 12:31, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
- Siddiqsazzad001, a few thoughts/questions. First, how does MOS relate to the draft process? Second, what do you mean "perfect article"? Third, how confident are you in your abilities to find copyrighted content, given your previous block for posting copyright-violating material on Wikipedia. Primefac (talk) 15:32, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Primefac: Well, WP:MOS knowledge is needed for checking draft article style. Perfect article means that an article should be from the neutral point of view, notability (WP:GNG) and must be reliable sources. I confident about my abilities to find copyrighted content with Earwig's Copyvio Detector and Google search engine. Thank you, Siddiqsazzad001 <Talk/> 11:52, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
- Probation - just as a note MOS issues are not reasons to decline (ever). Take it slow, ask questions, and we'll re-visit the issue in 2 months. Primefac (talk) 12:51, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Just to make sure you are in the right place. (non - administrator comment) --Quek157 (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
