User:Macaw*

Hello! I am requesting the pending changes reviewer right to help the project. I have read through all the relevant policys and have been patroling recent changes for a while now. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Please ping me to notify me of comments or a decision here. Macaw* 17:59, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:JamesEMonroe

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights:

To expand my tool belt as an extended confirmed recent changes patroller, and to more quickly afford new users their non policy breaking contribution. I have currently no sanctions against me and I think I understand wiki policy well enough for it. Thank you JamesEMonroe (talk) 20:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC) (Post edit) When using this perm, I will take extra care. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. Also please consider older reverts as well or when I took the time to explain things to new users. JamesEMonroe (talk) 21:27, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JamesEMonroe! I am not formally granting this permission (nor am I denying it), but I do think you should cut back a bit on the WP:STICKYDECO stuff on your userpage. While I have added the applicable CSS class to make the gadget function, many newbies—who frequently will have complaints when you revert their edits—will be unaware of the ability to tick the box to disable them, and they can be highly annoying/distracting/problematic for editors with sensory issues.

I wouldn't object if another admin chooses to grant the permission, but I wouldn't personally feel comfortable assigning newbie-interaction-heavy advanced permissions with the current amount of sticky decorations. Best regards, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:55, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, Thank you! As you saw, I tried to add the collapsible boxes as a way for people to disable them (like the "clutter clear ->") as collapsing it would disable the code within. I was planning on making some changes actually, such as rearranging things and improving accessibility a bit, while always importantly keeping the talk page free from anything as it is. I hope it didn't appear unprofessional on me or too annoying.
But I see what you mean as some newer people might not see the boxes. and ill see what I could do. JamesEMonroe (talk) 04:15, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:ExplorerofSpace

I am requesting this right so that I can more easily revert vandalism. If you have looked at my user page, one of the main things I do is revert vandalism. This right, while not making it easier to do so, would give me a different way to do so. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. My account is pretty new, but that is because I just got back into editing Wikipedia. I had an account when I lived in Chicago that had over a year experience. I could not longer access that account because I have forgotten the username and password. Again, I think this would be a good opportunity for me to do something I love in a different way. Whatever your decision is, thank you for considering. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 20:12, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please check for current account age. Last time I checked, it was 22 days. Also, has this permission request page been reviewed by admins? ExplorerofSpace (talk) 13:05, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello all, I was wondering if any administrators have reviewed this user right request page. Thanks for any help. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 21:04, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Your current account is still relatively new, so I would give it a bit more time (without knowing your previous username, I have no way of evaluating your previous experience). I reviewed some of your recent reverts, and I noticed that you have a tendency to revert edits for the reason "unexplained content removal" in cases where the editor did provide a reason for the content removal in the edit summary [2][3], or where it is clearly removing poorly sourced or inappropriate content [4][5]. Please edit more carefully, and you may request this permission again when you have more experience. Mz7 (talk) 02:12, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks for the recommendations. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 12:24, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:WikiEditor5678910

I am requesting pending changes reviewer rights so I can make good meaningful changes for Wikipedia on behalf of anonymous editors because they are the majority of editors and deserve a non-vandalism say in Wiki editing too. WikiEditor5678910 (talk) 13:43, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment)Hi, WikiEditor5678910! The pcr permission doesn't mean that you are actually making edits on behalf of the IP editors. Using this permission you can accept revisions or revert them. You make edits on their behalf when they request it. Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔ 06:28, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Your account does not have that many substantive edits to articles yet, so I don't think you've established the track record we need to grant you this permission. I recommend waiting to get more experience editing Wikipedia, perhaps by patrolling recent changes for vandalism, before requesting this permission again. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 02:20, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Arc Rev

I want to have this permission to reduce the pending changes backlog. I reviewed all the guidelines, such as BLP and the guideline for referencing. I revert good faiths and obvious vandalism and warn the user right after. Although I cannot perform a rollback to the recent changes page to have a consecutive track record due to my device's limited capabilities. I would rather choose pending changes over rollback; with rollback, I must have track records of mass rollback vandalism. But since I understood the guideline of rollback and pending changes, I can assure you that I will be responsible for having this permission. — ArćRèv • talk 10:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Weirdguyz

Most of my editing is in recent changes patrolling, and I understand the policies regarding vandalism, BLP, NPOV, copyright, etc. and apply them appropriately. Weirdguyz (talk) 06:55, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
