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! (Non-administrator comment) 11WB 💬 00:09, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
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

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 have been on Wikipedia since the last 2 years and have edited pages related to various disciplines, for example nuclear power, history, politics, etc. During this process, some conflicts have occurred with other editors, which I have attempted to heal, have recently issued invitations to numerous editors to co-operate in building Draft: Rig-Veda-Sanhita, The Sacred Hymns Of The Brahmans, a page on the edition of the Rigveda by F. Max Müller. I have also been the Pioneer author of articles such as Bharat Small Modular Reactor, Shivajirao Patwardhan, Sharavathi Pumped Storage Hydropower Project. I am also working on Draft: Partial meltdown of Leningrad unit 1 and Chernobyl unit 1 and more debated Draft: Sanjay Kumar Manjul. So as to improve my contributions to the encyclopedia, I would like to make a kind request to the admins to grant me this permission. Thank you. IND123456 (talk) 18:11, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Thank you for your contributions and your interest in this permission. Regrettably, I note that you appear to have been involved in edit wars at James Mill (among other pages), and failed Draft submissions in the last few months. Please consider reapplying in the future when you have a longer clean track record of constructive editing.  Not done for now. signed, Rosguill talk 20:05, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Ok, I understand. Could you suggest any other responsibilities for which I may apply as of now.
Thank you. IND123456 (talk) 06:19, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply
IND123456, most areas of Wikipedia don’t require advanced permissions; I would suggest participating more at WP:AFD if you wish to reconsider applying for this permission down the road, but in general I would just recommend continuing to edit. WP:TASK is a useful page if you’re ever looking for a new type of task to try. signed, Rosguill talk 13:57, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Ok, got it. IND123456 (talk) 02:42, 5 August 2026 (UTC)reply

I'd like to review new articles, considering there's a huge backlog! Hopefully I can help :) WikipediholicRat (talk) 00:09, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and your interest in this permission. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing quite enough article creation and deletion experience to be comfortable conferring permissions just yet: 50% is a low AFD match rate, and I'm not seeing article creation experience to make up for that. Separately, reviewing your edit history, while technically your account was created in March, you've only really been actively editing since June, which would mean that in practice you're a bit short of the prerequisite 3 months of experience.  Not done for now, but do consider reapplying again in the future once you have a bit more experience. signed, Rosguill talk 14:46, 5 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Currently serving as an AFC reviewer and actively reviewing drafts. I am active in checking newly created article under Wikiproject India. I would love to join in the squad and help reducing the long backlog by reviewing newly created article. Open to answer any questions . Thanks Nomadwikiholic1 (talk) 15:12, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply

 Done for 1 month as a trial run, after which you may reapply. signed, Rosguill talk 15:16, 6 August 2026 (UTC)reply

I understand that New Page Review requires careful judgment. I take a conservative approach to editing and only make decisions when I am confident, supported by wiki guidelines. When I am uncertain, I refer to the relevant guidelines and review past discussions before taking action. I recognise that there is always more to learn and am committed to continuing to improve. I would appreciate the opportunity to help reduce the backlog while applying these principles. Lordofhunter (talk) 19:52, 4 August 2026 (UTC)reply

lordofhunter, could you clarify what occurred at K. G. Shivappa and Sangappa A. Agadi, where earlier revisions written by you contained inaccurate and inadeqauate citations? signed, Rosguill talk 15:49, 6 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Rosguill: Thank you for reviewing my request. While creating those articles, I inadvertently left some references pointing to the main domain instead of the exact url. I corrected the citations once I realised the issue. There was no intention to misrepresent the sources, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. It reinforced the importance of carefully verifying every citation before publishing, and I will be more diligent going forward during my trial. Lordofhunter (talk) 20:14, 6 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Sorry, I don't find that explanation adequate. Just looking at Sangappa A. Agadi, prior to the PROD see citation #4. The metadata seems to be about a case of Agadi v. Shivamurthy Swami, regarding a supreme court case related to the 1967 Indian election. The actual link, however, has a completely different title, was published in 2008, and is completely irrelevant to Agadi as far as I can see. And while additional sources to back claims have been added to the article since then, the irrelevant 2008 ruling is still cited now, in two different locations, (#6 in this currentrevision). At minimum, this is carelessness incompatible with the expectations of a new page reviewer, and beyond that, it's rather strong evidence of inappropriate WP:LLM use.  Not done signed, Rosguill talk 21:42, 6 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Hey everyone, I improved very much and think i am now a candidate for NPP. I think i fulfil all the requirements for NPP Abdullah1099 (talk) 05:09, 6 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Other details: I am active on commons and Wikipedia and used AfD and AfC for good purpose. Abdullah1099 (talk) 12:33, 6 August 2026 (UTC)reply
 Not done; your last two requests, in April and May of this year, were both declined due to a low AFD match rate (in addition to other concerns). Since then, your match rate appears to have gotten worse, with none of the discussions since May going your way. Match rate isn't everything, so I looked through your arguments as well, and frankly they're even more concerning than the match rate: at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of extrasolar candidates for liquid water and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tau Ceti e (2nd nomination), the two most recent discussions to be closed, you present arguments that have zero grounding in Wikipedia guidelines or policy. I would not recommend reapplying for this permission until you have demonstrably turned a new leaf at AFD, over the process of at minimum several months. signed, Rosguill talk 17:44, 6 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Hi, my 1 month trial is expiring soon and I'd like to continue reviewing. Azyrii (talk) 17:27, 6 August 2026 (UTC)reply
