Reason for requesting afc helper script rights Rahmatula786 (talk) 14:46, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to review Nepal related Articles for Creation (AfC) articles on Wikipedia to help clean up and review newly created articles while assisting contributors in adhering to Wikipedia’s guidelines. I have a good understanding of key policies such as notability, reliable sourcing, and neutrality, and I am familiar with improving draft articles and evaluating them for publication. By becoming an AfC reviewer, I aim to expand Wikipedia’s quality content and support the community by providing constructive feedback to new editors. I am confident in my ability to uphold Wikipedia's standards and contribute meaningfully to the review process.

I would like to review drafts to help reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts and support others in improving their submissions. I have carefully read the guidelines and discussions and have also monitored cases of drafts being accepted or rejected by the current AfC team. I have also actively participated in AfD discussions and understand which drafts are likely to survive or fail AfD. Additionally, I have experience removing unnecessary promotional content from multiple pages. I believe my background and efforts would make me an effective reviewer. Thank you!

Sir I believe I meet (or at least barely meet) the numerical requirements and my AfD stats is basically 1 article sent for deletion (and by me).

Hello, I would like to join WikiProject Articles for Creation as a reviewer. I have been editing Wikipedia for several years and have experience with creating and improving articles, including work on Biographies of Living Persons (BLP). I am familiar with Wikipedia's notability guidelines, sourcing policies, and editorial standards.

I would love to contribute by reviewing drafts, assisting new editors, and helping maintain the quality of newly created articles. Please consider adding me to the list of participants.Thanks! Endrabcwizart (talk) 11:03, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to say yes, but your AFD stats are, quite frankly, atrocious. When part of our job is to evaluate whether a draft will pass AFD if accepted, how do you rectify the disconnect between your editing experience and your AFD stats? Primefac (talk) 20:54, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concern about my AFD stats. While my past record may not be the strongest, I continuously learn from past discussions to improve my approach. I want to assure you that I don’t rush decisions—I carefully review Wikipedia’s policies, especially WP:BLP, and WP:N, before making any judgment. My priority is to verify the reliability of references and ensure there are no copyright violations. I take a cautious approach when evaluating drafts, and if I’m not fully confident, I prefer to skip rather than make a biased decision. I'm always open to learning, improving, and receiving constructive feedback. Endrabcwizart (talk) 08:40, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I went to review a draft after a long while of minimal edits and realized that I no longer had access to the AFCH script. I could not find where it had been removed, so I looked through some edit histories and found this diff, which appears to be where it was taken away. It makes sense that I was taken off of the list, but unfortunately my NPR rights were only temporary. I would like to get back to editing, including reviewing drafts, soon. May I have the AFCH script again? Thanks! —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 19:19, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Asparagusus, is there a reason you prefer not to re-apply for NPR? If you do that, you won't need AFCHP. -- asilvering (talk) 20:40, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Asilvering, I have already applied for NPR and gotten a temporary right twice, and I would like to spend time building up my base of editing so I do not have to worry about impending deadlines and making the most of my user rights. When I have had the NPR right, I have not used it as much as I would have liked to. If you think I can get a longer temporary period or permanent NPR rights, then I will go apply there.

I would like to request for these rights on a trial basis, since I really want to work on reducing the backlog.

Nope. I found a source that stated some of the lines and then I used my own sentences to fill in the rest. Then I checked and I found the source wasn't exactly great and there weren't many other sources on the topic.
