Hello, I have been using Wikipedia as an editor from last year. I have made considerable amount of useful edits to this encyclopedia and have steadily grown as a learner of the rules and regulations as well as refined skills of editing and adding new content. I have been using Twinkle for a couple of months and now I am totally correct in claiming that I can responsibly utilise all the functions of Twinkle for any article. I have many times noticed the kind of useless edits made to many articles by anonymous editors and have improved them as can be seen in my edits history and I am always fascinated with this crucial responsibility of pending changes reviewer. So, now having attained the proper level of concise, I consider it right to request for this permission.

 Not done Many of your edits look good but I have some serious concerns. To start, this request does not come across as reasonable. It's overly-verbose and overly-confident but lacks substance. Reviewer is not a "crucial responsibility" and it's not something you should be fascinated by. It's a tool, for a specific purpose. You show no indication that you even understand what that purpose is, have relevant experience and intend to work in the field. You reference "useless" edits, which fails to show that you understand the subtleties of what is and isn't vandalism and the difference between good faith edits and bad faith ones, and which edits should be allowed by a Reviewer. You also single out anonymous editors, for unclear reasons, which is a red flag. You should not have any bias towards anonymous editors whatsoever. Your edits are hard to review because you do not use edit summaries, but I found problems, such as you adding {{pp-30-500}} to an article for no reason, or falsely tagging an article as a "good article". You requested full protection of an article you created due to a single instance of vandalism, which suggests that you are not familiar in the area you're requesting to work in, and also suggests that you might have a problem with ownership. You've failed to understand uncontroversial edits that were explained. You've created multiple inappropriate articles which had to be deleted. You've introduced grammatical mistakes.[1] You've modified content without providing a source or explaining why.[2] Sorry, too many issues. I think you're getting there, just keep learning and growing as an editor and reapply in six months. Swarm ♠ 07:55, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As someone who reverts vandalism often, I see both constructive and unconstructive edits to pending change protected articles. I would like permission to review these changes, as I see many go unnoticed. However, please note that a few weeks ago, I failed a request for rollback (see diff) because the request was hasty, which I agree with. That being said, I completely understand if I am unable to access pending changes reviewer rights at this time, and will continue fighting vandalism as usual. Thanks, Nanophosis (talk) 02:26, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to join the ranks of pending changes reviewers here on Wikipedia. I patrol recent changes looking for vandalism when I have the time to do so. I hope to help Wikipedia in as many ways as possible stay a credible and reliable place for the world to come to get knowledge. Pending changes review is just one of the ways I hope to help.

A significant portion of my contributions to Wikipedia have been in countervandalism; I currently have the rollback permission. I am additionally very well-versed in regards to the policies about biographies of living people, verifiability, original research, neutral point of view, copyright, in addition to other guidelines regarding encyclopedic content. I wish to help the project in a greater capacity by having the permission to review pending changes. Kind regards, Zingarese (talk) 06:40, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:LightandDark2000

I've been editing on this site for quite some time now (I've had this account for almost 6 years), and I've made over 39,000 contributions to the site (at least 2,000–5,000 of which involved reverting vandalism). I would like to assist other users in parsing through pending revisions and also reverting attempted acts of vandalism in articles. I've read through the guidelines at Wikipedia:Pending changes reviewer, and I understand the proper uses of the privilege and also the responsibilities that come with using it. I'm quite familiar with vandalism (I've run into a vandals a lot, especially within the last few months), so I know how to spot obvious and sneaky vandalism. If I get the Pending Changes Reviewer right, I plan to deny primarily only the edits that are obvious vandalism or inaccurate factual changes/BLP violations. I would also like to help out other admins and reviewers in reviewing the revisions at various articles that I happen to work at (such as 2017 Atlantic hurricane season and 2018 Atlantic hurricane season). Often times, when Autoconfirmed or Extended Confirmed users (like me) revert vandals, the edits are not automatically reviewed and end up building up into a backlog, and the slow reviewing activity I often witness at some of the articles seriously pains me, and I would love to help other users speed up the process. I beleive that with this right, I can help out other users in maintaining this site more effectively, and help bring the articles to a higher level of quality. Thank you for considering.
