These articles should be free of problems requiring the attention of patrollers. Note that this right will not help you create or patrol articles.

User:CherryPie94

New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One thing that immediately jumped out at me is some biographical articles created (e.g. Kim Na and Son Se-bin) have unsourced biographical information, such as the date of birth. This information should be sourced to ensure compliance with WP:DOB. - Aoidh (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've considered adding references directly next to DOB, which I did at my two most recent BLPs: Mike Kim and Lee Joon-ho. If birth information is not 100% verifiable, I play it safe (eg. Lee Seung-yoon). Per WP:DOB, links to websites maintained by the subject are generally permitted so I included Kim Na's personal website which states birth year as 1986 in the external links section. I created Son Se-bin over 5 years ago when I was much less experienced, so I don't quite recall which exact source I used for DOB (birth year seems to have been present in Star Today), so I've just amended that.

Ah I've misinterpreted that personal website policy, though it does fall under WP:ABOUTSELF, I've now also directly sourced it. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kjansen86

I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Already done (automated response): This user already has the "autoreviewer" user right. — MusikBot talk 21:20, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@LEvalyn: I went ahead and adjusted the nomination so it reflects who's actually being discussed, hope you don't mind! For future reference, you can use the "add request" link at the top of this page and replace the {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} with whichever user you're nominating. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:42, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I really appreciate your fix for this nomination and your tip for next time! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@LEvalyn: Thank you very much for the positive evaluation of my work on Wikipedia. I really appreciate it. Kjansen86 (talk) 08:22, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:-Verso-

78 live articles, (64 of which is start class, 5 Cs, 8 Stubs). Only one was deleted which is from 2018. All of the articles are well-sourced. I think this user is good enough for Autopatrolled Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 04:14, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hteiktinhein

Hello, I have created over 30 articles, none of which have been deleted. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's notability guidelines and currently assist new Burmese editors. I focus on creating articles related to Myanmar that need to be written, including those covering current events. Granting me autopatrolled rights would help reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

User:Fade258

Hello Admin! I have been regularly creating articles and I'm also familiar with WP:AUTOPAT and Wikipedia policies. Thank you! Fade258 (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:MerlinVtwelve

Hallo! I've created 46 articles, and have been editing Wikipedia since 2010. How time flies! merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Phantomdj

Hi, I have created 118 pages and would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks. Phantomdj (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Owais Al Qarni

I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia for the past five years and have created over 150 articles. I strive to produce well-sourced, high-quality content on topics such as Bayan al-Quran, Mamunul Haque, and Deobandi fiqh, and I have also improved existing articles like the one on Zakariyya Kandhlawi. While I understand that the Autopatrolled user right is not necessary for editing, I have noticed that the page review process can be significantly delayed, with some of my pages taking 6–12 months to be reviewed. As a New Page Reviewer for the past two years, I actively participate in wiki forums, including AfD, and none of my articles have been deleted in the past three years, which I believe demonstrates my understanding of notability and other relevant guidelines. I believe I am eligible for the Autopatrolled right, which would help reduce the backlog of unreviewed pages. Additionally, I have held the Autopatrolled right on Bengali Wikipedia for the past five years. Thanks. –𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 04:02, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Huligan0

This user has created a huge number of articles, mostly to do with football in Switzerland. A cursory review shows that the articles often need copyediting and could use more inline citations, but the subjects are consistently notable and the articles are generally well-researched and -referenced, so I don't see much for NPP to do here. Toadspike [Talk] 15:38, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done When you say articles often need copyediting and could use more inline citations, that's the exact opposite of what autopatrolled is for, especially the latter issue. Schwede66 21:43, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66 I'm not going to push you to reconsider, but if you don't mind, I'm going to rant a bit. I realize it's been discussed elsewhere and there's no clear community consensus on what "clean" articles means, but I think this is a very clear case where the core functions of NPP are unnecessary and our AP standards reveal themselves to be a romantic fantasy of how patrolling should work. The articles are notable, there are no two ways about it, and they contain a huge number of sources. Take their most recent article, 1961–62_Swiss_Cup, which has 26 sources in various locations; this seems about average for this user. They are not a native English speaker and they put their refs in weird places – so what? An NPPer would, at most, slap on one or two useless tags that will take years to get fixed, if ever; more likely they will punch the review button as fast as they can, while sighing in relief that for once they aren't reviewing AI-generated UPE garbage, and move on without taking any action. These articles even have categories, (auto-generated) shortdescs, and aren't orphans. What more do you expect an NPPer to do here? Toadspike [Talk] 00:30, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The prose of the first two sections of 1961–62 Swiss Cup is completely unreferenced. I would prefer a reviewer to tag that, Toadspike. Not so much so that some random editor fixes that over the next few years, but to communicate to the article creator that unsourced prose isn't ok, so that hopefully they will change their practices. Huligan0, would you mind adding inline referencing to your articles so that there aren't unreferenced sections? Schwede66 00:49, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
