User:Utopes
- Hello, I'm Utopes! A couple months ago, I petitioned myself for the role under the username UtopianPoyzin. After not meeting the criteria necessary at the time, with less than 500 mainspace edits, I was told I could reapply in a month or two after I had edited more often, and participated in more AfD discussions. As time progressed, I have been getting more edits under my belt at a consistent rate, and now have the necessary 500 mainspace edits. Additionally, I have been active in the areas of AfD, as well as RfD, which has allowed me to further my understanding of the deletion policy. Following my first application for AfC, I joined the Recent Changes Patrol and gained Rollbacker and Pending Changes rights, and gained all-around editing experience over these last couple months. All-in-all, I believe I have met the requirements that User:Lourdes provided from my AfC application 2 months ago. I still would like to help tackle the backlog of AfC articles that need reviewing. Thank you for taking the time to look at my case again! Utopes (talk) 20:37, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
- Please provide us some evidence that you have a reasonable grasp of our deletion policy and notability guidelines (e.g. CSD/PROD/AfD/Curation experience; or in creating articles that are reliably sourced). Thanks, Lourdes 03:00, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
Not done for now, no reply. Primefac (talk) 14:16, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Lourdes: and @Primefac:, sorry for the extended delay. (Members of my Troop and I were on a hiking trip in Philmont, and I posted this before we left. I did not plan for additional questioning). I have participated in 24 AfD's, and approximately 30 RfD's (there is no RfD tracker, but I know I give my comments there more often, as I find the solutions to be more clear cut for redirects). In these discussions, I have demonstrated knowledge of the fundamentals of the deletion policy for articles and redirects, and properly reference the appropriate guideline that the article does/does not follow wherever necessary (GNG, NOR, etc.). As for outside of AfD discussions, I have authored several properly referenced articles on chemical compounds, with reliable sources where applicable. If there is any other concern, just let me know. I thought I answered everything with my first post, but I'd be happy to answer to any other inquiries. Utopes (talk) 21:13, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

- I am an editor since 2008 and sometimes when I have free time I would like to be able to help with the AfD backlog. I believe I have good understanding of policies and guidelines (including notability and deletion), and I often try to improve newly created articles. Enivid (talk) 12:56, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- Enivid, it is exciting to find a long-term editor wishing to join the AfC team. We normally prefer that any applying editor have a reasonable understanding of Wikipedia's deletion policy and notability guidelines. If I may recommend, would it be okay if you get some experience in deletion areas (e.g. CSD/PROD/AfD) and then perhaps reapply here in a month or two. What do you say?

User: Breaking sticks
- Breaking sticks (talk · contribs · xtools · pages created · logs (block • csd • prod) · afd)
- I only recently found out that we aren't supposed to review AfC submissions without first being accepted here, and I have occasionally reviewed them. Sorry about that mistake. However, now that it's done, probably the best way for you to judge whether I'm suitable to be accepted is to look at ones I've already done, and see if I got them right. Two that I accepted are Suillus kaibabensis and Mill Creek Nature Park, and two that I declined are Draft:Soulaimane Berrada and Draft:Rachel Paulson. The criteria for acceptance mention an understanding of deletion policy. I think my history of AfD participation will show that I do have that understanding, and also any administrator will be able to see my history of CSD nominations, almost all of which have been accepted, I think.
- The number of reviews I have done is small (as far as I remember just the four I listed above plus one that has been deleted) but if I am approved here I would like to take a more active part in AfC reviewing. Breaking sticks (talk) 22:07, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Borderline, but I dig your interest. Thanks for applying and welcome to the corps. Don't break the internet falling over others to review AfCs. Enjoy and have fun.

- Reason for requesting afc helper script rights:
- After noticing from the help desk and the Teahouse that there seems to be a backlog at AFC. I would like to help shorten this, in order to ensure that editors with potential don't leave the site after finding that their work has been left in a queue for five months, as well as to explain policies and guidelines in a "friendlier" environment than on live articles.
- I have read the reviewing instructions, and have some, admittedly not overwhelming, experience of deletion methods and discussions, with logs of various actions kept at User:OxonAlex/logs. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 17:40, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

And if you are not, would you be ready to engage in some of the deletion related areas (CSD/AfD/PROD/even curation) for at least a fortnight before jumping into AfC? To be clear, I'll approve your request once you approve mine. Lourdes 16:09, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

- I submitted an article after someone draftified it for not having a source. I saw that there was 3,817 drafts for review and that it could take 8 weeks, and since I have a good amount of Wikipedia experience I want to help cut down on that large number of drafts that need to be reviewed. I have new page reviewer and rollback permissions and I have an understanding of AfD and have read over the deletion policy and notability guidelines. Almy (talk) 00:30, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Almy. Thanks for applying. Your article creation experience is a step in the right direction as it would give you command over notability guidelines. Your sourcing skills are still developing and I'll recommend you spend a month more adding reliable sources to our articles. You have insignificant experience in deletion areas, and I would again recommend a month of experience in our deletion areas (see the reco at the top of this page). Lastly, I would encourage you to be positive while engaging with fellow AfC reviewers and to avoid statements like this that may feel snarky and also give an impression that this is a revenge application. I look forward to you re-applying in a month. Please reach out to me for any assistance in the meanwhile. Thanks, Lourdes 01:43, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

- I am of mixed opinion which is why I told Andrew he could come here and have a different sysop make a decision. On the one hand, I'm glad he's now read what he's read. That's a real good start. On the other hand, it's only been a week. If he were doing this after a month it would be a clear decision for me. But right now it's hard for me to tell if he's truly learned something from the mistakes or is just trying to say the right things. I'd like him to take Wikipedia just a beat slower in general.

- Hello, I would like to have the reviewer rights to help with the backlog of pages to review. I can help in eliminating spam, a lot of times when I create articles it stays unreviewed for several weeks, so I would like to help out in this way for AFC. I have been helping Wikipedia to stay away from Spam and have deleted several spam pages. I have been working at New Pages Patrol without the rights and I have been active at AFD (successfully nominated and deleted over 50 pages), the right will help to clear the backlog. I feel with my experience I will be able to successfully and efficiently review new articles and pages.
I also have over 1400 total edits and 34 articles created, none of them are deleted. I have also learned what is WP:GNG and what are WP:RS and really to help Wikipedia to stay away from Spam. The right will be useful if I could patrol them as well as doing the manual of style tidy up and categorization. Meeanaya (talk) 07:04, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
