This tool is invaluable for editors like me who enjoy reviewing articles. Although I haven't been granted the New Page Reviewer right, I still want to contribute by helping to reduce the backlog. The tool was suggested to me by Admin Extraordinary Writ to my Request of New Pages Reviewers. This tool will greatly help me in reviewing articles that are ready and not ready for acceptance. Grabup (talk) 16:04, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did suggest in passing that AfC made more sense than NPP, but I have no opinion on whether Grabup is ready for it at this time. (Cf. Spicy's comment here.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this won't result in my request being denied. At least I might receive probation for a while. Grabup (talk) 04:13, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Avs5221, you'll have to forgive me, but I'm not seeing any evidence you were formerly an AFC helper. When were you last active with the project? Primefac (talk) 20:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, it's been several years at least. If I need to reestablish a track record, I understand. I chose to take a more passive role in editing as real life got busier, but my knowledge of Wikipedia rules and policies is still pretty avs5221^{(talk|contrib)} 05:10, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now; you were last active in 2013, and the guidelines and policies have changed quite dramatically since then. A bit more activity, especially in areas such as XfD and CSD, will help to show that you're up-to-date on all the relevant criteria. Primefac (talk) 07:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to assist in reviewing articles. I had talked to a few reviewers such as KylieTastic before applying, who said I am eligible and can go ahead and apply. I have good enough AfD experience. I have created a lot of articles through AfC. I would also love to help with managing the backlog.
I had submitted an application earlier, but at the time I didn't meet the requirements, but now I believe I am worth having this permission. MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 11:36, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I applied because I have an account which is:

90 days old (my account age is more than 11 months)
at least 500 undeleted edits (according to XTools I have 762 Live edits)
thoroughly read the reading instructions

(I read the reviewing instructions thoroughly, the notability guidelines, and the AFD guidelines)

a willingness and ability to respond in a timely manner to questions about their reviews. (I have time on my hands, and I can respond to questions) TheNuggeteer (talk) 13:20, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jlwoodwa (talk · contribs · xtools · pages created · logs ^{(block • csd • prod)} · afd) (add user)

I've been on Wikipedia for a year and made 30k undeleted edits. As I understand the reviewing instructions, AfC is preemptive, conservative AfD: rejecting articles that would very likely, and for good reason, be deleted at AfD. (And outside of CSD material, notability is the main such reason.) I've spent some time participating in/reading deletion discussions, as well as reviewing/applying deletion and notability policy, and I think I have a decent grasp of these.

I want to participate because it's discouraging for a new editor to have their draft sit in pending for months. Keeping the AfC process running smoothly and correctly isn't just about the articles themselves, it's also about keeping Wikipedia welcoming to newcomers without sacrificing encyclopedic standards. jlwoodwa (talk) 05:47, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to review AfCs to help deal with the backlog, encourage new editors to continue contributing, and deal with content not appropriate for Wikipedia. I have experience creating articles, participating in AfDs, using CSD and PROD tags, and assessing the notability of articles. I have read and fully understood the reviewing instructions and am familiar with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 21:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probation, which will be evaluated in 3-6 months. Being on probation only means that you can be removed from the list for any reason without prior discussion. Just noting (mainly for my own benefit) that currently the AFD stats are wrong, two of the nominations were advocating for merging and that is what happened, so it's an 80% accuracy instead of 40%. Hopefully as time passes this will not matter as more AFD stats are added. Primefac (talk) 12:10, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have some experiencing contributing !votes to AfD and believe I have some understanding of whether an article could survive that process.
