This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. This notice is automatically updated by MusikBot (talk) and will hide when there are fewer than 3 requests and they are all under 7 days old.

GnocchiFan has made 5,000+ edits this year alone including seven Good Articles. They make extensive use of WMF Library to improve sourcing and prose. I believe they are both an excellent editor and also communicator, evident at sensitive article topics at 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Gender and sexual minorities in the Ottoman Empire. In short, let's reduce NPP backlog by giving them auto-patrolled status. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also worth mentioning GnocchiFan created 84 non redirect articles. One article was deleted Sophie Ottaway 8-months ago. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Y X's Tools is only finding 4 GAs. But regardless, done...--v/r - TP 19:24, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TParis: I was just taking a look at this when you accepted the request, but I have my concerns here. The single source tags on Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak and Elizabeth Neesom are valid, and Elisabeth Nilsson (lawyer) doesn't demonstrate the subject's notability very well. They have some very good-looking articles, but I feel that the basis of quality for their creations needs to be a bit higher before they're ready for the autopatrolled flag. Courtesy ping for GnocchiFan; I hope this feedback is useful for your writing in the future. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:36, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree – those are valid concerns. I've removed the flag. Schwede66 20:20, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really hold the same reservations that you do. There is a systematic bias against covering women in history and it's even greater outside of western media. There has been an effort to increase coverage of women and I feel these two articles are geared towards that goal. It's easy to write an internet article about a living person that recently does a thing and get it published. It only costs bits and bytes. But sources existing in the early 20th century or earlier, about women, when publishing was costlier rings stronger with regards to GNG than a single article on the internet. Overall, I'm confident this user will create encyclopedic content without significant errors. None of us are error free.--v/r - TP 20:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([1]). — MusikBot ^talk 20:20, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion on the underlying disagreements, but since the right remains revoked, marking as  Not done for the bot. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:46, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting autopatrol rights as I have been an active contributor since my account was unblocked. During this time, I have created multiple articles that adhere to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines. My contributions focus on history and education, and I take care to ensure thorough referencing and proper formatting in every article.

I believe autopatrol rights would help reduce the workload for patrollers, as my work consistently meets Wikipedia's standards. I would appreciate your consideration of this request. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 17:00, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but the UPE concerns raised last year will disqualify you from this permission for the foreseeable future.  Not done. – Joe (talk) 12:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Joe Roe: My account was compromised. I didn't violate any policy of the Wikipedia since registered on this website. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 12:28, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but a) I have no way to confirm this (maybe @Xaosflux: can help with this?) and b) this is a sensitive right when it comes to UPE, I'm not sure we should be taking the risk of it happening again. – Joe (talk) 12:41, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While not definitive, a potential account compromise does seem to have occurred between August and September of 2023. As it has been a year since then, if no new concerns have been raised since then I suggest this request be evaluated based on the article creations since then. — xaosflux ^Talk 15:08, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meets the minimum criteria, and a random sampling of their creations doesn't raise any red flags. My only concern is their liberal use of quotations in reception sections, but I don't consider it an overly serious issue for this permission as the copyright reports come away otherwise clean; I've also started a discussion on their talk page about it. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedia Admins, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to further support my contributions to Wikipedia. While I may not have thousands of edits or article creations, my work is rooted in careful research and learning from experienced editors. My focus is on Iranian early modern, modern, and contemporary art and culture, especially highlighting the stories of Iranian women often overlooked in history. I ensure all my edits are supported by reliable, academic sources, and I have a track record of accurate contributions with very few reverts. I believe that having the Autopatrolled right would allow me to continue enhancing the articles related to Iran and Iranian art and culture. Thank you for your consideration. Warm regards, Hounaam (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting the Autopatrolled right, like any other editor, to help reduce the NPP work load. I have worked at AFC/NPP/AFD, and I've created good articles that would pass a deletion discussion if nominated. Cheers! Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 11:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
