New page reviewer

Hi! I'd like to request the New Page Reviewer user right to help reduce the backlog. I have experience with page creations, having created or converted from redirect 122 pages. I've also promoted two articles to WP:GAs, and am frequently active in DYK, in AfD and in GANRs. Jishara (talk) 12:23, 29 July 2026 (UTC)reply

I can confirm @Jishara is an excellent participant at AfD. Having recently returned after a two month break, I've found their comments to be beneficial in helping establish my own thoughts on nominated articles. They are already autopatrolled, and have authored over a hundred BLPs. (Huge respect to the redirect expansions I'll add!) I think they're more than set for patrolling. You have my support, @Jishara!

Just noting that I, and likely other admins, are holding off on evaluating this request because of the significant amount of recent AFDs that Jishara has participated in but which have not yet been closed. This is not in any way a mark against Jishara, but with about 20% of their AFD participations pending closure, attempting to assess their track record right now would either entail premature exclusion of recent participation, or a lot of duplicated work in assessing their participation in those recent discussions. signed, Rosguill talk 19:35, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Hi! Thanks for letting me know, Rosguill! Would it help if I paused participating in AFDs right now until the current ones have closed and you have the opportunity to assess? Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 23:42, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Jishara, I don't think that's necessary, unless you sharply increase your daily participation to an even greater rate (which depending on how crowded AFD is on a given day, may not even be physically possible on some days), as the last week-and-spare-change of recent and open discussions will make up a less and less significant fraction of your overall record. signed, Rosguill talk 23:51, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Alright, makes sense! I'm very much looking forward to hopefully getting New Page Reviewer - I appreciate your time and consideration! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 23:55, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Jishara, overall your track record looks good, but in reviewing your AFDs from 2 weeks ago, I'm seeing a bit of a misalignment on how to evaluate multiple SNGs together (and/or with GNG). Could you review those guidelines (especially WP:NACADEMIC, WP:NCREATIVE, WP:NACTOR, together with WP:GNG) and give a short answer here about how to evaluate them together in an AFD discussion? signed, Rosguill talk 18:59, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply
NACADEMIC, NCREATIVE, and NACTOR are each notability guidelines in which if any one of the internal criteria is met the person is considered "presumed" to be notable per WP:Notability ("Therefore, topics which pass an SNG are presumed to merit an article") - as a New Page Reviewer I would plan to accept anything where i found this was met as long as no other major problems (OR, LLM, lack of proof that the notability guideline is met outside of assertion, copyvio, or libel, etc) as a notability guideline being met means the article is "likely to not be deleted at AFD", which is the guideline for New Page Patrol as far as I'm aware. GNG is also a more broad notability guideline, but it isn't required to be met if an SNG is met and vice versa ("Therefore, topics which pass an SNG are presumed to merit an article, though articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article"). I hope this is sufficient, @Rosguill:! Let me know if you need anything else. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 21:27, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply

I previously held the temporary New Page Reviewer permissions for one month, which has now expired. During this time, I used the Page Curation tool to review articles and drafts according to Wikipedia's policies. Since my temporary right has expired, I would like to request full restoration of my permission,so that I may continue to help the community with the backlog.

TheGreatEditor024, do you have any comment regarding Sohom's review of your last request roughly a month ago? signed, Rosguill talk 19:36, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Thank you for showing me that request. I searched a lot for it but couldn't find it.
@Sohom Datta: Regarding the ColanXP issue, It was an accidental misjudgment on my part due to a complete misunderstanding of the tool at the time. I mistakenly thought clicking the checkmark button simply meant "I have looked at this page and added cleanup tags," rather than fully approving it for the mainspace and removing it from the NPP feed. User:DoubleGrazing kindly corrected my error right after it happened. After the issue, I started spending time to understand and learn WP:NPP, WP:GNG, and other policies to make sure that these issue won't arise again.
Now, I fully understand that NPR is an important job and I know that articles must strictly meet WP:GNG and WP:V to remain in the mainspace, and that subjects without reliable, independent secondary sources belongs in draftspace. I want to help with the backlog and I promise to exercise extreme caution from now on. If a full restoration is not possible, I would be really grateful if you could provide a short extension, so that I can prove that I have corrected my issues and knows how to use the tools responsibly.

I think this explanation is worth another trial run,  Done for another month. signed, Rosguill talk 19:00, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Granted temporary NPR by Femke three months ago, which has now ran out. According to XTools, I've made around 100 reviews since then. I wish to continue reviewing music articles on occasion, so would appreciate a permanent grant. Thanks, UpTheOctave!  8va? 23:56, 9 August 2026 (UTC)reply

I was granted a temporary right which is now due to expire in few days. I have reviewed a number of articles and I'm increasingly getting acquainted with article reviews, so I will like to continue contributing in that area. Santa Saana (talk) 07:14, 10 August 2026 (UTC)reply

track record looks good,  Done signed, Rosguill talk 19:04, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Hello, I've been active on Wikipedia for 7 months now and i have created numerous new articles and page redirects. I have seen how many pages and redirects have been unreviewed, and i would like to help reduce those numbers. I've read the policies regarding on how to gain this right and how to use it, and i would be glad if i was given that permission Agpigeon (talk) 03:14, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and your interest in this permission. However, it appears that you do not meet the minimum prerequisites, as you were last unblocked on May 28th, less than 6 months ago.  Not done. signed, Rosguill talk 19:06, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply
