Pending changes reviewer
Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
Please read Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes before requesting this right. Applicants who are new to Wikipedia will not be granted this right. Administrators will only grant this right to applicants who have a measurable track record of editing.
I'm a productive user that has warned people in the past for distruptive editing, COI, vandalism and more. I usually try to complete things I start and it is very painful for me to look at Special:PendingChanges having tons of articles. I would definitely try to reduce the backlog. 48JCL23:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have been helping in improving Wikipedia for three years now, and I am familiar with the wikipedia policy on vandalism (I routinely fight vandalism by patrolling edit filter log) as well as the main points of NPOV, Verifiability, WP:NOR, and WP:NOT. I'm hoping I can contribute more to Wikipedia by having PCR right. Thank you. — hhypeboyh💬 • ✏️00:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done, I looked through the history of your talk page to see how you interact with other editors and quickly found this edit (pure vandalism, and dismissed with "Get off my talk page."). Plus, lots of other warnings (and a block) for personal attacks; copyvio, edit warring, and more, and you chose to respond insultingly to most of them. Advanced permissions require the ability to distinguish vandalism (and obviously refrain from it yourself) and to engage in good faith with messages from other editors.

@DanCherek: I respect your decision, but except for my regrettable vandalism, those other edit summaries were from 2022 (the year where I got my only block), and it's mid 2024 now. I have since assumed good faith, stayed away from violating the rules, and made substantial edits. Is this terminal and it's a fool's errand to re-request in the future? — hhypeboyh💬 • ✏️07:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, not a fool's errand, and I understand that a lot of those warnings were in the past, but edit summaries like this and this – from this past month – aren't ones to be proud of in terms of AGF'ing. Not trying to bring you down, but to set up the rest of this answer and hopefully help a future request: my advice is that when reviewing a permissions request, one of the things I (and probably many other admins) consider is how you would likely respond to a question about your use of the permission. So I suggest first building a track record of interacting with others in a collegial way, on your talk page and elsewhere. If a new editor's good-faith pending change gets reverted by you, for whatever reason, and they ask you about it on your talk page, I would like to have an indication that you would discuss it with them and not just blank the message. I appreciate the recent note on your talk page history, I think it's a good start. DanCherek (talk) 12:22, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have a very strong understanding of Wikipedia guidelines, and I revert disruptive editors and report them to WP:AIV on a daily basis. I would greatly appreciate access to this permission so that I can review edits to articles. Skitash (talk) 20:42, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I help with reverting vandalism, and have also read up on Wikipedia's policies on what content would be generally allowed here. -- Harpick (talk) 00:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC) Harpick (talk) 00:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Active in vandalism fighting, already have rollback rights. I would like this tool because I do patrol some high-traffic protected pages, e.g. Mount Rushmore, for WikiProjects I'm involved in. –TCMemoire15:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been editing WP for 17 odd years and I'm able to identify what is and what isn't vandalism. Also familiar with Wikipedia's basic content policies and the basic legal policy on copyrights. Requesting the right as I have at least two articles on my watchlist (Australian Greens and Linux) for which there are regularly pending changes. I would use the permission to process requests in those article (plus any others that are on my watchlist that I don't see often) and occasionally peaking to see if there is a backlog.

I am requesting Pending Changes Reviewer permissions to support the review and validation of pending changes on Wikipedia. With 1,057 edits and experience in trust articles and music, I am confident in my ability to accurately review and approve pending changes. I understand the importance of maintaining the integrity and accuracy of Wikipedia's content and am committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and neutrality. Thank you for considering my request. 2RDD (talk) 15:39, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
