User:Ochilov

Hi, I want to have autopatrolled rights, because it will help me to write articles. I wrote only 4 articles, rewrote article Abdullah Khan II (it was stub, now it's B-class) and made only over 50 edits in English Wiki, but I know rules very well, because I was editing Russian Wiki since September 17, I have 16 pages there and about 1.100 edits.

 Not done This account flag is for accounts that create many new articles, unlike other permissions it has no impact on you at all and is for the benefit of others, with a small edit count you do not qualify now; if you continue to create many articles stop back by here in a couple of months and request again. — xaosflux 14:54, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights The Tallest Tower (talk) 02:43, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I work a lot on creating the content for new articles, and working on maintaining them. Articles include the Mao card game, United Synagogue Youth, and more up and coming smaller and more minor articles. I believe in quality over quantity, and focus on making quality edits. That means if edits don't need to be made - I don't make them. I have been sandboxing a lot of new articles on my own, and plan on submitting them shortly. The auto-patrol feature would help, simply to allow for these articles to be quickly uploaded. Thank you for your time. I also have much more experience on the Hebrew language wiki.

 Not done. You have currently only created one article here on enwiki. Please continue to contribute, having or not having this permission will have no impact at all on your ability to create or edit articles. After you have created more than 50 new articles, please drop back by here if you would like this flag. — xaosflux 04:02, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

User:OWAIS NAEEM

I have been writing articles mostly on Pakistan related topics and I intend to continue. It will help reduce the workload of Newpage Patrollers. Thanks! ow@!s (talk) 06:55, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Owais. If you can correct the spelling/grammatical mistakes in the articles you've created (please go through all of them) and also your main user page, and then re-apply, I'll be pleased to approve your request. The autopatrolled flag would allow your articles to not come under the review of new page patrollers. My suggestion is, if you feel your command over English is not up to the mark, why don't you allow new page patrollers to review your articles? It would assist you in creating better articles. Misplaced Pages is about collaboration and adding this flag might work to your detriment. Irrespective, if you still wish this flag, I'll be comfortable in adding the bit to you once you confirm you've corrected all the above mentioned English errors. Thanks.

Request for it — Masum Ibn Musa  14:21, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 Not done Hi Masum Ibn Musa. I patrolled your articles and have seen massive copyright violations. This is apart from the fact that your command on English is below average, and I shan't be comfortable with your articles not going through a review. Thanks. Wifione 14:49, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Everymorning

I have created hundreds of articles, and I think I understand core Misplaced Pages policies well enough to be given this right. Everymorning talk 18:22, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 Done Thanks for the astounding contributions. If you ever wish to be nomm'd for adminship, do leave a message on my talk page. Best. Wifione 03:48, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
I know this is a bit off-topic, but I'd agree that Everymorning would be a great admin - I was actually considering asking him if he'd like to have an RfA. -Fimatic (talk | contribs) 15:21, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Wikicology

I love to reduce the workload of New Page Patrollers with the user right. Wikicology (talk) 14:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
On hold pending response from the admin who deleted your recent creation Microbial growth monitoring techniques as a copyright violation. . Wifione 01:49, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your concern but that article wasn't my recent creation. It was one of the articles I created at my earliest time on wikipedia when I was not in any way familiar with policies. There were about 4 or 5 of them then that was blatant word-for-word copyvio, and 3 were deleted at AfD on the basis of notability. In fact I even had a competency issues then at ANI and a very big thanks to User:DGG and others who saved me from being blocked then. Over the time I had grown to be a competent wikipedian with over 50 undeleted articles (not even with any maintenance tag). See them here in order of their creation and you will see that those deleted articles wasn't my recent created articles, over 50 undeleted articles was created thereafter. Thanks! Wikicology (talk) 07:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 Not done The article was created in September 2014. I'm going to ask you to check your other articles before I give them a look, to ensure there are no more copyvios. Wifione 07:34, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
I have no idea of why you had decided to deprive me of this right simply because I had a copyright issue in September 2014 ignoring the fact that over 50 undeleted articles (not even with a single maintenance tag) had been created after that issue was resolved. I want to let you know that contributions here on wikipedia is not about the number of years we spent or the edit count but on core understanding of the basic wikipedia policies, which I had demonstrated in the last few months. Perhaps xaosflux, Airplaneman and Anna Frodesiak may look into this and probably comment in this case but if the overall conclusion is that I should wait for some times, I had no choice than to take to the advices of my brilliant administrators and I will neither be discouraged nor relent on my brilliant and productive contributions. I only felt I should reduce the workload of the New page patrollers as part of my effort to improve wikipedia. Wikicology (talk) 09:56, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
I respect and share Wifione's concerns about copyvios. So, maybe I can help. As the reason for your requesting this right is to take the load off new page patrollers, I'd be happy to review your new creations myself for as long as you wish. If you want two sets of eyes, I can dig up another experienced article creator. Then, after some time, you can apply again. Does this sound okay? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:11, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks Anna Frodesiak for chipping in. Wikicology, I just picked one of your articles Eko Hospital. I don't know if you added these, but "blood bank is a cache or bank of blood or blood components, gathered as a result of blood donation" seems copied verbatim from this website. "...to identify the threshold levels thereby enabling determination of the degree, type and configuration of hearing loss" seems copied from this website. "The ikeja facility is a private teaching hospital of 130 beds with a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic equipments" seems copied in parts from the Eko Hospital's website here, which mentions "The ikeja facility is a private teaching hospital of 130 beds and state of the art equipment. It is a tertiary institution with a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic equipments.". You need to work on all your articles to ensure that your other creditable work does not get washed away because of such mistakes. Hope you start immediately on reviewing your articles before someone else does. Thanks. Wifione 14:45, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Reviewed, no copyvio. Thanks! Wikicology (talk) 18:30, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Wikicology. While AGFing, 'deprive me of this right' smacks a bit of hat collecting particularly where Autopatrolled is technically not a 'right' at all. Just thought it worth pointing out... Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 19:42, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Correct, this is a flag and has no impact in anyway on anyone's ability to make any edit. Endorse the  Not done at this time. — xaosflux 20:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Dan Koehl

I kindly ask for autopatrolled rights in order to reduce the work load of New Page Patrollers. As a New Page patroller myself Im familiar with the important points that make an article valid. Being a user since 2002, I believe I am a trusted and experienced user. Dan Koehl (talk) 16:12, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Most of your articles are short stubs although it is of course important to get something on Misplaced Pages about all these zoos. You'll understand therefore, as an NPPer, that it does not take 2 seconds to review such articles. Please check out the correct way to create an attribution for translations or content taken fom other-language Wikipedias. Thanks nevertheless for your patrolling - it's badly needed - but do take a moment to re-read WP:NPP, WP:DELETION and to be sure to follow up on the links others have provided on your tp. I'll leave the decision here to another admin. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:14, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Yes they have been red links for over two years, hopefully they can be developed further. Sitting and trying to get anything substancial from their websites, using Google translation, and googling for any single source for zoos in Bulgaria that can be cited, for sure takes more than 2 seconds. So, the Kb on those articles doesnt really reflect the work behind. Analyzing such an article also takes more time than 2 seconds, checking the coordinates, following the sources, etc. All those articles are correctly made, and if there was more facts to write about, for sure, I would have done so. Still, as coordinator for Project zoos, I hope that putting some 20 articles also about those zoos, will increase the chances that they may be developed further. So, the articles are not mine at all, they are the simply the present content that I could find about the zoos. Of course, I could have added tigers, lions, sebras, ostrich etc, on some of the articles, but I decided to select only what I found as important info. So, scanning the internet, translating websites, etc takes quite an amount of time, which doesnt really get reflected now, when reading the stubs. If those Bulgarian websites produce better facts on their websites, I will be more than happy to submit more info on those stubs. Still, Im happy that I put the energy into that. For anyone who really want to measure my input on Misplaced Pages, could easily find the over 2 000 articles I have created on the Swedish Misplaced Pages, with compared to your 51 created articles during ten years. On the other hand, Misplaced Pages is not a teenagers competition in produced Kilobytes. I truly believe that the stubs I did benefit the wikipedia more than the red links that this project had before I decided to put more energy into the zoo project. But, the articles I wrote have correct coordinates, correct categories, correct source information, and fact box etc. I dont really see any reason for your comments, and I cant see that you found any errors.
