New page reviewer

Hi, I know that I only barely meet the mainspace edit requirements, and my content creation is weaker perhaps than my edit count would normally suggest. However, over the past two months I have worked in AfD and CSD areas using the NPP queue, and most of my edits are in those areas. I would like to be considered for a trial NPR right period. Thank you. Fermiboson (talk) 19:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. You're on the less experienced side for a perm like this but I looked at your CSD and PROD logs and I'm happy to give you a trial. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:19, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The backlog seems quite dire and I would like to help. I acknowledge that my AfD record isn't very extensive (though the stats counter missed at least one I contributed to, I tend to only contribute to AfD discussions if I have sources to contribute or I have very strong feelings to either keep or delete) but I think I generally have a good track record, none of my drafts have been rejected which I think shows a good understanding of notability.

Sorry, you're on the right track, but I don't think you're quite experienced enough for this right yet. I'd suggest helping out at WP:AFC first and re-requesting in a couple of months.  Not done. – Joe (talk) 09:55, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have been editing for a little over a year, I have understood the rules especially for getting citations which I have found to be extremely important. I have done a lot of editing in various articles and have contributed greatly to some specific articles involving history and geography. I have also contributed by photographing or writing for events and places. I have read the Wikipedia:New pages patrol article and I'd love to help out.

 Not done. I'm sorry, but you do not meet the requirements (500 main space edits) at this point in time. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:43, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I received an invitation to participate in the new page patrol backlog drive. I would very much like to help. I am well-versed in CSD, PROD, and AfD. I am well aware of 3RR and good at spotting COPYVIOs. I don't bite newcomers as I still remember my newbie days. Cheers! Chanaka L (talk) 01:04, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Chanakal:  Done. You have a lot of experience creating notable articles and participating in deletion discussions. Good luck! Feel free to reach out to experienced reviewers here if you ever have any questions. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:01, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fairly active at AfD, and none of the articles I have created or moved from draftspace have been deleted or redirected. Will start slow, since this process seems more complicated than AfC reviewing. Cheers, Mach61 (talk) 02:15, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the advert for the January 2024 New Page Patrol Backlog Drive and I would like to try it for a one month trial. I generally take my time with making AfD nominations and only delete as a last resort if I cannot expand the articles. When commenting at AfD I try to select borderline cases where consensus could go either way, although my overall participation is lower since I generally do not comment on AfDs if it seems like a clear consensus already. While I have not done AfC reviews, I have generally found more 'low hanging fruit' at older articles, such as old orphans, articles without a labelled Wikiproject, or those with unclear notability issue tags that have been hanging around for many years - I find these articles often slip through the cracks of other automated detection tools.

I am a moderately experienced editor with over 3,000 edits to Wikipedia, 21 new mainspace articles, and innumerable redirects, over a year of active editing and participation in a small number of AfD discussions / nominations. I am interested in doing a small amount of New Page Reviews to help with the current large backlog. I plan on starting slowly and carefully with a focus on articles in my areas of expertise: botany and related sciences. If, as I gain skill and ability I find that I can review fairly and effectively in other areas I will expand my reviewing, but only if I find that I can do it to quality that helps Wikipedia and encourages good article creation by other editors. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 17:55, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MtBotany. Thanks for your interest in helping out! Your application is a little weak in the area of demonstrated knowledge of page quality control (usually shown through participation in processes such as WP:AFD, WP:CSD, WP:AFC reviewing, etc.) I would personally support an NPP trial because I've seen you around RFA and know you to be an intelligent and pleasant editor, but will let someone else make the call. If you are accepted, please keep in mind this unwritten tip: species articles are basically an auto notability pass (just check Catalogue of Life or similar sources to make sure they're not a hoax). Almost all other types of articles will need their notability evaluated more strictly. They will need to pass an WP:SNG or (more commonly) WP:GNG. To pass GNG requires that several high quality sources exist and being fairly strict about evaluating those. The quickest way for you to learn notability in general is to read old WP:AFDs, and participate in AFDs and pay attention to the outcomes. It's good training.
