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]
@JamesEMonroe: On the default skin (Vector 2022) your Einstein gif blocks the "talk" button, the left molecule gif blocks the entire left sidebar, and the gifs on the right side block much of the right sidebar plus the "ClutterClear" button. That disrupts the interface by "preventing important links or controls from being easily seen or used". I would also urge you to fix that. – SilverLocust (Jenson) 06:28, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good call. I removed it.
I didn't want to block the user talk page especially JamesEMonroe (talk) 06:43, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it makes it hard when its fine on my screen but possibly different on others. let me see with the other things. sorry about that ^^ JamesEMonroe (talk) 06:48, 3 June 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:Danners430

A few pages which I watch were tagged for pending changes protection, and I would like to assist in reviewing the changes to share the workload. Danners430 (talk) 05:14, 27 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]

User:MouseCursor

I'm requesting pending changes reviewer as a current often-active extended-confirmed pending changes reviewer who wants to combat vandalism on pending changes-protected pages. I have read the guideline on reviewing and understand the policies on BLP, copyright, etc. Thanks! MouseCursor or a keyboard? 13:35, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Element10101

Hello; I wish to request pending changes reviewer rights.

By now, I have been editing Wikipedia for a month, more or less. I have extended-confirmed permissions on Wikipedia. I have done some work in cleaning up new pages and recent changes and I am ready to start taking on a larger task of reviewing pending changes. Element10101 T ~ C 20:56, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:2RDD

Please, I've been actively contributing to Wikipedia and have a good understanding of its policies and guidelines. I'm interested in becoming a Pending Changes Reviewer to help ensure the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia's content. I've demonstrated my ability to review and improve articles, and I'm committed to using my Pending Changes Reviewer tools responsibly. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to Wikipedia's quality control efforts 2RDD (talk) 22:05, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ophyrius

Re-requesting the Pending Changes granted by Mz7 to my comprised old account. Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔ 09:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sardonism

Hi there!

Despite my account having existed since 2009, I only have a modest edit count - and so it is more than reasonable for one to question whether I am a sufficiently experienced Wikipedian to be granted additional privileges.

I am requesting Pending changes reviewer as I believe I have demonstrated a good faith effort to contribute to the project, civility when interacting with other users, and adequate judgement when attempting to discern between deliberate vandalism or well-intentioned mistakes. But more than anything, I seek to find relevant policies and / or guidelines when confronted with a new (to me) situation - and while I endeavour to be WP:BOLD, I am aware of my own limitations and thus I know when to stop and ask others for guidance before proceeding.

If granted Pending changes reviewer I cannot promise I would be a prolific reviewer of pending changes; merely that when reviewing pending changes I would ensure I am doing it because I am confident in my ability to get that decision right, rather than out of boredom or a desire / sense of obligation to make the decision myself.

Thank you very much for your time & consideration.

User:Very Polite Person

I think I'm supposed to have this as I see an option suddenly for pending changes on my watchlist, for the article Remote sensing? I was going to approve (it's just a newer user adding some book references), but I guess I cannot? -- Very Polite Person (talk) 21:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:ExplorerofSpace

A little bit ago I made a request (which was declined - account new), I am again requesting this right because:

-My account is now over a month old

-My account is extended confirmed

-Lately, I have run across a lot of fine pending changes edits, but I can not approve them only revert them

As you can see, the main thing I do on Wikipedia is revert vandalism, you noted I should be a little more careful in doing so, which is what I did.

I think this right would allow me to reduce backlog, and do something I like (reverting vandalism) in a different way.

As you can see, I am also requesting the rollback right, which would help me with this process as while as reverting vandalism in general.

Whatever the outcome is, thank you. If it is not done, please provide me with steps I can take to get approved. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 00:29, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
