User:Lightbreather

I would like to branch out into tasks that require other rights - specifically, tasks that have to do with reviewing edits and reverting vandalism. I believe I have a strong enough editing history to be helpful in both areas. Lightbreather (talk) 00:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Lixxx235

I'm probably getting more active, and would like the +reviewer bit back. They were previously removed by User:Soap at my request on IRC. Thanks. --L235-Talk Ping when replying 05:23, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Ping to @Soap:. — xaosflux 06:30, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 Done Sorry, I granted this not realizing we were pinging Soap. As far as I can tell the user can be trusted. — MusikAnimal 06:44, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
No worries, I was going to as well, but figured I'd give Soap a moment to look, they can always chime back in if needed. — xaosflux 14:09, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Tomandjerry211

I am re requesting to become a reviewer and I am now checking the edits at Special:PendingChanges and understand what is unconstructive and constructive.Thanks. Tomandjerry211 (talk) 18:15, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) After being declined, please wait a while (normally a couple of months) before re-requesting. Pinging User:MusikAnimal, who declined the prior request. Zhaofeng Li 11:48, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 Not done Two notes unrelated to my decision to decline... You almost never use an edit summary. Providing edit summaries is not required, but highly preferred, and would make analyzing your contributions much easier. Secondly, you seem to exclusively edit from the mobile interface, where Special:PendingChanges is not functional. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this, but be aware you will need to be familiar with the desktop interface in order to review any changes. I've again looked over your recent contributions I don't see enough evidence of an understanding of basic policy and guidelines. Please understand the pending changes reviewer right is not a "status" nor does it change the way you can edit. From what I can tell I truly don't think it would benefit you. Furthermore, I just don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Give it some time, and if choose to re-request, if you could please provide several diffs of edits where you have reverted vandalism and/or undid an edit assuming good-faith, etc. Thank you — MusikAnimal 03:08, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

User:Arfæst Ealdwrítere

I have been a reviewer before and have never misused the associated rights. I would like to help in a low key administrative role: reviewer status being such a position. I wish to prove again that I can be trusted with responsibilities and I very much hope that you will let me be a reviewer again. Arfæst Ealdwrítere talk! 04:54, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
{{onhold}} Pinging @Mike V: who removed with note "per account concerns, please consult before re-adding". — xaosflux 13:23, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Consulted. — xaosflux 18:39, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 Not done Welcome back to the project. I did just approve and complete your rollbacker request, however would like to see a longer period of constructive editing now that you have returned, please continue to make positive contributions and re-apply for this bit in a month or two. — xaosflux 18:39, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

User:115ash

I am really active in anti-vandalism work. I utilise Huggle and STiki to revert vandalism. Furthermore, I have done an equitable sum of WikiGnomes' contribution. With the Pending changes reviewer, I will be able to review and acquiesce the pending changes as portion of my anti-vandalism work. --115ash 17:14, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 Not done @115ash: You are going too fast with STiki. Please explain why and were reverted as test/vandalism (along with many of your recent reverts). One explanation might be here, where you seem to imply that any edit that shows up in STiki must be vandalism. This is not true, you make that decision, not the software. There is a good-faith revert button, although many of these edits I believe should be classified as innocent. Please see Misplaced Pages:Vandalism#What is not vandalism and Misplaced Pages:Rollback#When to use rollback. At this time I don't see how you can be trusted to not reject constructive pending changes, and if you are not careful your rollback rights will be revoked. — MusikAnimal 18:45, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

User:SparrowHK

I've been a active vandalism reverter and I constantly check Recent IP edits for vandalism. I am quite familiar with Biographies of living persons, Neutral point of view, No original research, Verifiability and What Misplaced Pages is not. I believe that I have a reasonable editing history and I believe I would put this User Right to good use. SparrowHK (talk) 12:31, 31 December 2014 (UTC)SparrowHK
information Administrator note I declined this request two weeks ago, will defer to another admin. — xaosflux 13:50, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 Not done Looking at your contributions so far, you have edited your own userspace more than you have edited articles, and I see no sign you have been active in removing vandalism, which is what this tool is for. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:41, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

User:FrB.TG

I would like to help decrease the backlog of articles with edits awaiting review so that the good faith editor, who make constructive edits can get them quickly approved and I can deny unconstructive edits. I am aware of Misplaced Pages policy, thanks. FrankBoy (Buzz) 14:03, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
