[change source]- Ruy Pugliesi (talk · contribs · count) (assign permissions)
I would like to request the patroller user right in order to help in countervandalism work. I am currently a global rollbacker (verify), and I already hold patroller permissions on bswiki (verify), enwiki (verify) and commons (verify). Thanks in advance. Ruy Pugliesi◥ 22:39, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- I'm a little hesitant to give the tool right now, as I don't see any articles created here. We give out rollback easily to people with the tool on other wikis because the rules are generally the same x-wiki, but when you get into creating articles in different languages or forms, it gets a little more tricky. I would personally like to see some experience in writing simple English articles before granting the tool, however I'm not going to mark this as not done, and we can wait for a second opinion. Thanks. --Gordonrox24 | Talk 22:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- I know that. However, this permission has already been granted to users without any articles created here (global rollbackers). I think it would be quit useful to have patroller right, because this permission would allow me to mark others' edits as patrolled while I'm monitoring RecentChanges. Ruy Pugliesi◥ 22:55, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with Gordon here.
I've seen use of rollback that was against policy so not happy to give out another tool yet.fr33kman 22:59, 11 June 2011 (UTC)- I've used Twinkle in this diff, not rollback feature. Ruy Pugliesi◥ 23:05, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter which tool was used but that you could only see the edit as vandalism. fr33kman 00:01, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry... I don't understand. I saw the edit as it was: a vandalism. Could you define this (or even this) in another way? Anyway, I didn't use rollback feature, although it was suitable for that. Ruy Pugliesi◥ 01:33, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I failed to check. You are correct. fr33kman 01:56, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Ruy, as far as I know, we don't mark edits as patrolled here (unlike meta and some other wikis, that feature is not enabled here) with this flag. The flag is for marking new pages patrolled after seeing that they have the correct format and getting one's own page creations patrolled. I don't know why the flag has been given to people who do not create good quality articles because that is not what the right was created for. NotImportant 06:53, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- NotImportant, I've just thought this flag was purposed for marking others' edits as patrolled, as it occurs on enwiki and some other wikis, where I already have such permission. I didn't know that. In this case, it wouldn't be suitable for me, I guess. Sorry for that. You can close this request. Ruy Pugliesi◥ 14:18, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

- Suggest that this isn't done. Other than the fact I have concerns about how this account is operating, all of the articles created have needed a significant amount of work doing to them, though frankly I've given up because we shouldn't be automating article creation anyway. Effectively hiding these edits from patrollers would be a bad thing. Goblin 19:00, 5 May 2011 (UTC) I ♥ Juliancolton!
- Agree with Bluegoblin7. In my opinion, automating article creation is usually a bad idea, and it is better if users review the article creations to fix the formatting etc. NotImportant (talk) 08:38, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Not done - How I hate automatic article creation. Simply importing stuff from enwiki and then making one edit to "try" to simplify it usually doesn't work. Any edit here should be checked. -Barras (talk) 08:41, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

- Hi, I'm working on a couple projects right now on economic development, international relations, and the Arab World Protests. I'm an English teacher, with a fairly good idea how to simplify techincal language. Since I've decided it's easier to do a lot of little edits than a few large ones (which I usually do on the English Wikipedia), I thought it might help if I were autopatrolled. I'd also be happy to watch for vandalism sometimes. --Quintucket (talk) 13:45, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

- Requesting patroller rights so I can mark pages as patrolled. I often look at the list of new pages anyway, looking to be sure that stubs are tagged as stubs, articles about people have birth year, death year, and defaultsort specified, and that articles have appropriate categories. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:24, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Orashmatash (talk · contribs · count) (assign permissions)
- I am requesting patroller rights because as you will be able to see, the pages I have created are filled with reliable and trustworthy information. I am also looking to start vandal-fighting, and think this tool will be useful in looking for vandalism in newly-created pages. Orashmatash (talk) 15:58, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- Not done While the articles you have created are of good quality, I think that you need more experience in article creation and antivandalism for this right. Also, I'd suggest you do more work in articles/against vandalism before trying to collect rights. Regards, Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 16:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

[change source]- I am willing to patrol new pages, and feel that my new pages do not require review for vandalism. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 13:17, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
I would like to ask to be a patroller on simple-wiki. I've fought vandalism using rollback and twinkle and have done some new page patrolling. I am an active vandal fighter and new page patroller on en-wiki (see my CSD log). --Bmusician 16:13, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- I've not been very active of late, so am probably not completely up to date, however I would feel a little uncomfortable granting this tool. I only see 10 new page creations here on simple, and I would personally like to see quite a few more before giving this tool. I won't deny this request though, and look forward to seeing what another admin has to say.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 19:58, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hello, and thank you for commenting on the matter. I don't mean to be rude, but there is another patroller here who has made 0 article creations. I however am continuing to create more articles here on simple. --Bmusician 01:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know why that user was granted patroller, but I certainly wouldn't have granted him the right. I think you need a little bit more editing experience (particularly in article creation) before being granted this right. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 03:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm a patroller in zh-wiki and I've patrolled 1000+ times there. I will focus in here and zh-wiki in the Easter holiday.--Kc kennylau (talk) 23:18, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Not done. The articles you have created have been barely translated. Copying and pasting an entire article from the English Wikipedia and changing a few words here and there is not a translation. Slapping a complex tag on the top of it doesn't make things any better either. I just removed the bulk of your most recent creation Structural isomer, since there wasn't so much as a punctuation mark of difference to the version found on the English Wikipedia. You've created 43 articles and you've not given attribution to the original authors of any of them, even though it was the first thing that was asked of you when you started here. So actually most, if not all, of your page creations here are copyright violations. Please try and get the hang of things first before requesting permissions—particularly this one; it looks like for the moment, your edits will definitely need patrolling.

- Hello. Altough I do not have many edits here, I'm active here since 2010. I have a lot of experience with Wikipedia which I learned in the German Wiki, where I have like 2.500 edits. Because the simple English Wikipedia is quite uncomplete, I'll do my best to create more articles. With patroller rights, my created pages musn't be patrolled manually. Regards, – weltforce™ | ☣ Talk 10:41, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for creating articles here. Unfortunately, I cannot grant you this flag at the moment because you have created very few articles (only four) and those too did not follow our manual of style (for instance, they were uncategorized, had two stub tags, used incorrect headings for references). I think you need a little bit more experience before you get this permission. So I'm marking this as {{not done}}. Regards, Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 17:23, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

- I'm not really active here in simplewiki, but I'm sometimes in the countervandalism IRC-channel #cvn-simplewikis. Thus I can see the recent changes of the Simple English Wikipedia. There are sometimes new articles, which I could patrol with the patroller permissions. So assign me to the Patroller user group, please. Regards, Vogone (talk) 18:57, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ideally we need to see some page creations first... This wiki combines the permission
patroller
withautopatrolled
- so by giving you the permission to patrol other users' edits, it also means yours are automatically marked as patrolled. Osiris (talk) 02:21, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

- I told it in my request. I'm not really active here. Only in the IRC.
- @Osiris: Thank you for your comment. Is it possible to assign me to the patroller user group, if I promise not to use the autopatrolled rights? If not: no problem. I'd create some articles then. Regards, Vogone (talk) 20:46, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- @Vogone: If you have patroller rights you also use automatically the autopatrolled rights.Receptie123 (talk) 06:03, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- @Receptie123: Yes, I know. But when I don't create new pages I don't use the autopatrolled rights. Greetings, Vogone (talk) 06:41, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- @Vogone:Yes but that means after you have patroller rights you will not create any more new pages.
- You're right. --Vogone (talk) 18:08, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- It's not the problem that your created pages are marked as patrolled automatically. (That would make no sense) It is that here on SEWP only active editors should have the patroller right. I suggest you to write some more pages and/or do some more edits in the article namespace. --weltforce 18:33, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- You're right. --Vogone (talk) 18:08, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- Not done - Sorry, but as the people pointed out above, before we grant that right, we want to see some article creations to know if the user in question knows the formatting and other simpleWP related stuff. Please re-apply later, when you have done some article work here. -Barras talk 19:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi all. I am applying for the "Patroller" because I would like to help to remove the red flag. I havent been so very active lately, since I have been busy on the Danish Wikipedia.

Hi everyone. I'm requesting this as a long-term user (who had a long wikibreak), I'd like to have my own edits patrolled, since I don't create manure :) When I've the time, I'd love to patrol new pages too, but the main purpose of this request is to have my own creations patrolled.

- I don't doubt your experience in other wikis, but I don't see any real need for this here.

I have created many articles in this wiki and know about this wiki. How to right in simple english is known to me. So I want this right to help this wiki by automatically reviewing my creations. If any questions ask me.--Pratyya (Hello!) 14:22, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- "How to right in simple english is known to me"? I'm sorry, but that sentence is not simple. It isn't even proper English. I'd feel better if patrollers had good English skills so they could better tell what was vandalism. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:08, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
- Many of your articles are lists with near zero prose, so I did not include them while considering this request. Some of your articles lacked categories, stub tags etc., others were unreferenced BLPs, some were directly copied from enwiki without attribution. I also agree with Auntof6 that patrollers should have good English skills as it is required to create articles that do not need extensive further editing (to make them readable) and to judge whether a page should be tagged for deletion or not. Therefore, I think it is better you edit a bit more before getting this right. Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 23:30, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
Not done per above. Osiris (talk) 07:19, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
I have started to add pages to this wiki. My edit count on all projects is about 2000. I have written to administrators and on Simple Talk about helping changers write Simple English. There is an example of my work in my sandbox, here. I created The Simple Barnstar to support the work of this wiki. I have not yet asked for the autopatrolled flag on en because I do not create many new pages there. But I have the reviewer flag there and do new page patrol. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:21, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Steven. Could you please ask again later, once you've created a fair amount of new pages? At the moment you don't meet the requirements. Thanks. Osiris (talk) 03:56, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Sure. What constitutes "meets the requirements", though? There does not appear to be a fixed requirement, and I have a fair history between here and en (which I appreciate is a different project, but I do have a clean record). StevenJ81 (talk) 01:28, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- A good amount of new articles. "Administrators can grant this right at their discretion to trusted users who regularly create articles and have demonstrated they are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines". I patrol NewPages pretty much every day, and I sometimes assign the flag automatically to users who consistently appear next to articles that don't need any fixing. Osiris (talk) 09:59, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
- Understood. Just so you know: I wanted the flag as much to help patrol as for any creations I might make myself. Truth tell, I suspect that most of my work here for a while is going to be in filling out stub articles on important Judaism topics. These won't actually show up on new page lists. I may take the liberty of bringing major edits on current pages to your attention periodically so you can judge my work. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:39, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- We don't actually patrol here like on en.wiki. Some people do do it like Osiris but we mostly just use this flag so that peoples page creations are marked as good automatically so generally we want to see a fair number of article creations before we hand it out. -DJSasso (talk) 18:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- Not to comment on this request, but people do patrol here. There are quite a few editors who check the new pages (and not just articles) looking for vandalism and other issues. That amounts to patrolling, even though not all those editors have the patroller right. To say we don't really patrol here is to discourage people from doing this this worthwhile task. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- I think Djsasso means that when people check over a new page they don't actually use the flag to mark the pages as patrolled, and that the flag is used more for having one's own pages marked automatically (autopatrol) than for marking the pages of others (patrol). How accurate that is you can see for yourself on Special:Log/patrol: the items with the word "automatically" is the autopatrol part of the flag being used (i.e., a page being created by a patroller), and the items without the word "automatically" is patrollers clicking the button on a page created by somebody without the patroller flag. The item for Poolesville high school is an example of what Djsasso is referring to -- Creol was the one to fix up the page, but it wasn't marked as patrolled until I marked it the next day. On the other hand, the item for Struga is an example of a patroller (Gotanda) marking a page patrolled as they're fixing it up. Osiris (talk) 22:51, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'm finding this discussion interesting, my "candidacy" notwithstanding. There is a reason that enwiki does things the way it does, and at the same time there is a reason that we don't (usually) need to do things the same way here. I fully get that. I think some of this should be incorporated into a page about new page patrol here at simple so that people understand the differences.
- As for me, I'll just sit tight until/unless you think I've created a sufficient number of new pages. I doubt you'll ever find me "irresponsible" about things, but I'll be the first to admit that I continue to seek guidance on the workings of this wiki—including, for example, keeping my English simple.StevenJ81 (talk) 01:24, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

- Not to comment on this request, but people do patrol here. There are quite a few editors who check the new pages (and not just articles) looking for vandalism and other issues. That amounts to patrolling, even though not all those editors have the patroller right. To say we don't really patrol here is to discourage people from doing this this worthwhile task. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- We don't actually patrol here like on en.wiki. Some people do do it like Osiris but we mostly just use this flag so that peoples page creations are marked as good automatically so generally we want to see a fair number of article creations before we hand it out. -DJSasso (talk) 18:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- Understood. Just so you know: I wanted the flag as much to help patrol as for any creations I might make myself. Truth tell, I suspect that most of my work here for a while is going to be in filling out stub articles on important Judaism topics. These won't actually show up on new page lists. I may take the liberty of bringing major edits on current pages to your attention periodically so you can judge my work. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:39, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

I can't say that I create articles regularly. But I can say that I create them occasionally. I'm in simple English wiki for almost 6 months. In this time I created 50+ articles and learning regularly. Also I patrol new pages. So I think I can be trusted with this right. Any question?--Pratyya (Hello!) 17:15, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
- Not done This is really meant for people who create alot of articles of known good quality so that they don't show up as unpatrolled. We don't actually patrol persay like they do on enwiki. Would prefer to give it out once you have a history of creating pages in simple English. Generally an admin will give it to you automatically when they have noticed your name in the new pages a lot next to articles that don't need fixing. -DJSasso (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

- There isn't actually a backlog at the moment. There are always new pages that need fixing up, but you don't need patroller access to be able to do it. It'd be better if you had a bit more experience with either article creation or new-page patrolling before you requested access. Your last article needed quite a bit of correction: this was the state you left it in. Osiris (talk) 02:16, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

- After seeing SpongeBob's Truth or Square (which I just deleted), I oppose this user being given patroller rights. The article was a near copy of the enwiki article, except for a large paragraph that was in Spanish for some reason.

Not done Your only edits on articles here were reverted because they were too complex.

Look at the things people have changed after you create the articles so you can see what kinds of things we do differently.

Carriearchdale - I would like to ask to have the patroller rights added to my user profile.

Carriearchdale (talk) 21:24, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Not done Part of what goes with the patroller right is that your own articles are auto-patrolled. You do good work here, but I've just looked at some of the articles you created and they use quite a few complex words. I'll tag the articles and list the complex words on the talk pages so you can see what I mean. I have no doubt you'll get the hang of simplifying. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
I have now been on this wiki for over a month and have done some good work here. I often create articles according to policy and sometimes patrol recent changes. I often revert vandalism and tag pages for deletion, and add content and categories to articles. I have a pretty good understanding of how this wiki works now. Thanks for your consideration! Eurodyne (talk) 01:28, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Not done You are definitely doing good work. My concern is that some of the new articles you have created, such as Smitley River, still need simplifying. Part of what goes along with the patroller right is that articles you create are automatically patrolled. I don't think that's appropriate yet. If the articles you create aren't simple, it would be hard for you to recognize when other people's articles are simple. Give it some more time -- you are a valued contributor, you just have some more to learn! --Auntof6 (talk) 06:29, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

- I am inclined to think that the manner of your request shows that you do not yet know enough about this wiki. You don't know why you have a red userpage? We are quite slow to give patrolling rights, possibly because our wiki is so very different to En wiki. To be effective in that role a person must really know our wiki. I hope you carry on editing, and eventually someone may give you the rights. Macdonald-ross (talk) 21:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

You don't seem to understand that this is a separate Wikipedia from English Wikipedia (where your user account was created only two days ago). Before granting any rights -- patroller, rollbacker, or any others -- we want to see users making good contributions for quite a while to show that they understand how Simple English Wikipedia works. Simple English Wikipedia (the one you are reading here) does some things differently, and it takes time to understand them. If you'd like to have some rights here, do some content work for at least a few months or so and then ask again. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:51, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

I will say that the very few articles you have created (actual articles, not redirects or dab pages) were minimal stubs, some of which needed some work. That's not really enough to show that your articles would be in good shape.

- Not done I'm glad you read the guidelines and the write-up I did, but you still haven't been here very long nor made many edits. Two weeks additional experience isn't long enough when you make so few edits. You've only been editing here since March 21. You've made fewer than 40 edits, not nearly enough to show us that you understand how things are done here. Not only that, but only eleven of those have been to articles; of those, only 1 appears to have been an attempt to undo vandalism, but in fact it restored vandalism to the page. Your English Wikipedia record doesn't look very extensive, either: you've been editing there only since March 19. As I said before, take time to get to know how things are done here. Make constructive edits to articles, edits that don't get reverted as most of yours have been. If you see something you think needs doing, try running it by someone first to be sure it won't cause a problem. I would say wait at least a month before asking again, but that might not be long enough if you aren't making constructive edits. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:49, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- (Non-admin comment). Music1201 It is not necessary to have the patroller right to fight vandalism or to write good articles. When other editors create new pages, they show up in the recent changes log (which you can review). Check the page over the same way you would if you had the patroller right. Fix what should be fixed or nominate the page for deletion if it is total junk. No special right is needed, but your efforts will still help the encyclopedia. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 04:38, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

- I request this right as I am familiar with COI and NPOV. I am active on this wiki and have created a few articles with the intention of creating more. Oluwa2Chainz (talk) 21:33, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Not done -- not yet, anyway. The patroller right gives you two things: you can patrol other users new pages, and your own new pages don't need patrolling. You haven't created enough new pages to show that you consistently create pages that don't need work (some of your new pages have needed a little bit of work). Create more new articles and look at what people change in the ones you create to see the kind of thing I'm talking about: it's partly categorizing, and some simplifying. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:37, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- Short reason for wanting permission to go along with my rollback rights. << S O M E G A D G E T G E E K >> (talk) 15:02, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- Done as your changes do not need regular checking. But for the record rollback and patroller are different skill sets - one is recognising vandalism and dealing with it, the other shows an understanding of the layout and content needed for a good page and knowing how to correct them if necessary. As with all extra tools, please use carefully and do not be afraid to ask questions.--Peterdownunder (talk) 12:29, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

- Hi, sorry to be away for so long. I wanted to find out what it is about. It was because of a conversation I had with a patroller on my talk page. I would imagine it involves looking at new pages and checking for vandalism. —Neotarf (talk) 21:25, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- No disrespect intended, but if you have to "imagine" what it involves, you A) haven't checked what you're applying for, and B) clearly do not need it. You don't apply for something first and then figure out what to do with it once you have it, that's like buying a car before realising you can't drive. I'm not an admin, but I'd give this a "no". DaneGeld (talk) 21:35, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- I see that English is not your first language, so you might want to check the meaning of "imagine" in a learner's dictionary. It is not realistic to expect users to have already used the permissions before requesting them. —Neotarf (talk) 21:52, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- You are absolutely correct - English is not my first language, that would be Danish. You do not understand what the permission you are requesting is for, and you have to guess - which by any stretch of the mind, is what you are doing, then you need to read the pages about patrolling to learn about it. I wasn't saying you need to have used it before you get it - that's just plain stupid! What you are doing is asking for tools before you know fully what they're for. I recommend you follow the instructions at the top of this page, and read Wikipedia:Patrollers, which tells you about what you're applying for and what it is used for. DaneGeld (talk) 22:20, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for your advice. Try definition 1b of "imagine": "to form a picture or idea in your mind of (something that is not real or present)" or definition 3: "to think or believe (something)". It does not mean I am guessing--I have been following NPP and AFD discussions on and off for quite some time--it is a polite phrase only. —Neotarf (talk) 23:54, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

- Not done Not done at this time. You have been here only a short time. I'd prefer that you first demonstrate that you understand the requirements here, some of which are not intuitive to people used to working on enwiki. Also, with the patrol right, your own creations do not need to be patrolled, and looking at a couple of articles you created, they do need patrolling. Spend some more time here and get familiar with the requirements of simplewiki before asking for this right. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:58, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

The new articles mentioned were all about railway stations. When you find a format that works for a particular topic, it's easy to produce multiple articles based on it; that's not a good test of how much patrolling a user's articles need.

- MyPeople76 (talk · contribs · count) (assign permissions)
- Hello, I am not sure if this is too early a request to make but I would like to be granted the new article patroller rights. I have seen most recently created articles on here are not checked as soon as they are created. Hence I spend most of the time making corrections to these articles as mostly, some, do not even have any single sources and also put on QD articles i feel should not be on this Wikipedia. I have been active since joining and I want to continue to improve this wiki. I have also made contributions of about 700 and created about 50 new articles in the time I have been here. I feel, as an editor, I should exercise good judgement before making any decision to either put an article on QD or improve it. I have tried my level best to exercise that judgement and where I made mistakes, I went back to revert my mistake. Therefore, I feel I can play an integral role in the improvement of this wiki in terms of simplifying articles, puting sources to articles, putting tags on appropriate spaces and making QD and RfD requests on articles. Regards MyPeople76 (talk) 19:50, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
- Not done First, no one expects or even wants new articles to be patrolled immediately. We've had complaints about patrollers adding qd or maintenance tags too soon because the article creators were still working on the articles.
- But the main reason I'm denying is related to the fact that when you have the patroller right, your own articles don't show as needing to be patrolled. The articles you have created have mostly needed some work. That shows not only that your articles need to be patrolled, but that you might not be able to judge whether someone else's article needs work. Patrolling isn't just clicking the link, it's evaluating what shortcomings an article has and deciding whether to tag, request deletion, or fix it yourself. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:51, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

- Not done You haven't actively edited in about 4 months. The patroller user group would mean that your edits and pages are not marked in RC or Special:NewPages as needing to be patrolled, and reduces the chance of other editors taking a look at it to improve the article. I do not think you are ready for this yet, and you also don't have much experience in patrolling new pages. You don't need to be in the patroller usergroup to patrol Special:NewPages, so you can start out there. Vermont (talk) 18:15, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

- Not done Part of having the patroller right is that pages you create are automatically marked as patrolled. All the articles you have created have been deleted, which says that your work does need patrolling. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:42, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Auntof6: I didn't create any article on simplewiki, I only created Talk Pages. As you can see on this link, none of my editions have been deleted. So my work doesn't need to be patrolled and the right is not very powerful. Looking forward . --Eihel (talk) 20:24, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
- Apparently the display of deleted contributions now displays edits that were not page creations, so I was seeing things that were deleted after you edited them (such as adding QD requests). So you're right that you haven't created articles here: sorry for my mistake. However, not having created articles is an issue in a patroller request. I'd still want to see you create articles so that I could see whether they need patrolling. So the answer is still Not done. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:54, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

- Yes, in order to be a patroller you have to create articles, that is the most important aspect of being a patroller because you have to be able to show you that you know how articles need to be created as patrollers have their own articles auto-patrolled. -DJSasso (talk) 11:48, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

- Most of the articles I create come from edit conflicts on articles awaiting quick deletion. If something's notable, but a user has just written one line on it, I'll try and flesh it out instead of letting it get deleted. Examples include Bruno Latour, Pass the Dutchie and ITV Encore. Even if a new page isn't yet tagged for speedy deletion, I'll try and improve it as much as possible, such as on Plastic waste and Charging Bull. I also create a fair few user talk pages by either welcoming or warning users encountered by recent change patrolling and Special:NewPages still marks these as awaiting patrol (despite user talk pages usually being no-indexed by default). On English Wikipedia I hold both the new page patroller and autopatrolled user permissions (which are bundled into +patrol on Simple), so I would like to get involved in patrolling pages made by others as well.

- I haven't had the chance to look through your edits yet but have you created many pages here yet? We use the patroller tag here somewhat differently than en.wiki. It has the same functions as en.wiki but for us the main purpose is to auto mark peoples creations as patrolled so others don't have to patrol them. As such we tend not to give it out until we can see editors know how to write in Simple English and create articles here to our structure as opposed to how en.wiki does it. I only ask because I hadn't yet seen you create any pages but I haven't had the time to look through your edits yet to find some examples. So this isn't a comment one way or the other about your request. (and I know I just imported a bunch for you to simplify so I know you intend to) -DJSasso (talk) 11:37, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- To be simple, the patroller here comes with autopatrol while en doesn't have, so it's best you can list some of your articles to see can it be autopatrolled. Reliable user for sure IMO. --Cohaf (talk) 13:09, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Since then I have a total of 29 Articles, the articles Maiko and Capital Airlines Flight 20 have not been edited for spelling tone, and title layout since it's creation, I feel like I am ready to get this right to help out with the new pages log and to mark my pages as patrolled on the log so other pages can be checked reducing the load, I've also edited numerous articles for spelling, tone, wiki links and categories and stub tagging, etc. But If you think I am not ready, you can deny me. thanks.

- Hello. About a week ago or so I filed a request, I then withdrew the request later, because I wanted to get a final grasp of "patrolling" and editing/tagging the pages at Special:NewPages. After that I made 2 more articles Lawson (store) and FamilyMart, just for final practice on content creation to make me 100% solid in this area. I am requesting this right to help out at Special:NewPages and for my articles to be marked as patrolled, reducing workload for the patrollers. I have acknowledged and resolved the Issues that Auntof6 mentioned at my first request. I have fully read WP:Patroller and understand how to use this right. I will not abuse it. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Thank You. (My Qd log and rd log are provided in these links.) Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 01:20, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Could you remind me what issues I mentioned before? My primary concerns with giving someone patroller are 1) that articles a patroller creates are in good shape (not necessarily perfect, but decent) and 2) that the patroller properly evaluates pages before marking them patrolled. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:14, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Auntof6 "That they (my articles) needed patrolling for various reasons... On this wiki patroller includes auto-patrolled" you also said 'looking at your recent articles they needed patrolling for various reasons" that was when I first starting making articles, with no experience, I had requested too soon and was not ready yet, but now approximately 1 year and 30 articles later, I have matured and improved a lot in article creation. I can now identify good articles, and problematic articles, as listed in my qd and rd logs. --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 02:18, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thegooduser I reviewed the articles you've written recently and do see improvement. Before I do anything further, I'm curious: If you find a new article that was created, but was badly made, would you request deletion or fix it? Operator873talkconnect 16:39, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Operator873, Hello and thanks for taking time to review my request! To answer your question, if I see a article that was badly made, it depends on the content. Normally If the article had content about,say, an actor, and contained some references, but weren't the best reliable sources, I'd usually do a google search to check for good reliable sources, then try to add them in, and fix up the article to make it neutral, and within Wikipedia guidelines, now if, I cannot find reliable sources, on a google search, I will then nominate it for a discussion at rfd. Bringing you to the other case, quick deletion. If the article were extremely promotional, or written like a resume, or an attack page, then I will have to nominate it for qd. If a newly created article, has a good sentence or two that has meaning/ good context, I try my best to fix the article before tagging it for RFD or QD. I also do a quick earwigs copyvio check on every new article I see created, if it is a copyvio, I tag it for QD as a copyvio. Thanks. --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 20:07, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Done I'm happy with your answers and the articles you've created thus far. I'll continue watching your efforts with creating/fixing/patrolling articles. As with any tool, if I or another sysop feels it necessary, it may be removed with little or no warning. Happy creating and I look forward to seeing your efforts! Thank you for everything you do.

- I have been editing on this Wiki since 2016 (via my old account, WikiImprovment78). I joined the enwiki in 2014. I have a lot of experience in creating pages and have on several occasions touched up articles created by new users by adding categories and formatting etc. I have also created many articles myself on this Wikipedia. For this reason, I am requesting for the patroller permission, so I can mark new pages as patrolled once I have made sure they are of a reasonable quality. I feel that I know what new articles should look like. IWI (chat) 22:23, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
- Not done Looking through your edit history I could not see any history of new page creation. Only redirects or one or two sentence stubs. We only really grant patroller to editors who have a history of creating good simple articles. -Djsasso (talk) 19:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Djsasso: Thank you for the reply. I will work on creating high quality articles in the future. IWI (chat) 20:01, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

- I am making a second request for patroller after my first about a month ago. Since then I have created quite a few articles, probably close to 100. Not all of them are stubs, and the bulk of them relate to languages and more recently roads. I have created about 200 articles since I started editing here in 2017. I also have an old account, WikiImprovment78. I feel I have a good understanding of how an article should look and how to simplify. I don't believe any of the articles I have created were complex or not wikified. I also have an understanding of the deletion policy, for when I check new articles and tag them for QD or RfD if they need it. I can also improve deletion worthy articles of notable subjects.

- My previous request can be seen here. My reasoning has not changed since then. I have created around 250 articles and I don't feel there is need for my articles to be patrolled. I also clean up new articles and it could be useful if I could mark them as patrolled. I withdrew my last request due to an edit warring block at the time, which was a mistake on my part that I regret. IWI (chat) 09:56, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

- Not done. You have very little page creation or editing that has significant simple english writing in it, most of your creations are just small stubs. We generally only give this flag out to editors who have a significant amount of Simple English writing experience. -Djsasso (talk) 21:10, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

I have been tagging articles for improvement for some time now. The last issues I had with other editors were in 2017. I want patroller rights so that I can actually review new articles, not just tag them for improvement. Thank you. ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) 23:51, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator observation) Most of these "improvements" are just adding no sources to a one sentence stub, which in my opinion is not helpful and should be avoided. Also, patroller is for marking articles as patrolled, which should have a history of improving articles. This would be demonstrated by adding sources to the articles, not tagging for them to be added. Naleksuh (talk) 23:57, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

I've been active on Simple for several months now. As of today I've created 168 articles and the only deletion was an immediate recreation. I think patroller rights would save everyone some time because the pages would not need to be marked as patrolled. I would also like to try my hand at patrolling, but I have not already done so. Only a few of these articles are translations; I wrote most from scratch for Simple. I feel Alberto Santos-Dumont and the individual species articles in Nyctimystes are good examples. I believe the Wikieditors most qualified to comment on this request are @Djsasso: and @Gay Yong Hernandez: because they often edit the articles I've started.

- Administrator note: Patroller also includes autopatrol on this wiki. Additionally, note that this user is currently indefinitely blocked on enwiki and enwikinews. That being said, I do not believe that their enwikinews block reflects their editing abilities, and should not impact the decision made here. Not familiar with the user's history on enwiki, but the block appears to have originated in 2018, before Darkfrog24's contributions here on simplewiki, and so I believe can be considered "old news". --DannyS712 (talk) 23:03, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey guys. I've been on this project for a little while now and I feel like I've gotten a better idea for what a wikipedia article should be. I patrol RC somewhat frequently so I would probably catch some new articles that look promising but need significant changes. Thank you, and have a nice day. Derpdart56 (talk) 15:28, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Not done Almost no page creation/editing history, and those the pages that I did look at that were created would have been tagged for a number of issues like no wikilinks etc. Patroller is for people who have a really good history of creating/editing using Simple English. It isn't just for looking for bad pages. Get some experience on actual content creation/editing and in the future we can take another look. -Djsasso (talk) 18:32, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
