Presumably the script has been removed from my user because I use it so rarely. But it is extremely useful when I do use it. To avoid me having to keep rerequesting could I have it for a few years rather than 6 months? For now I wish to review Draft:Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_Ghana but am too lazy to do so without the helper Chidgk1 (talk) 13:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would normally just grant it indefinitely since you are an established user, but I am a bit concerned about this recent copyright notice - what happened there? Spicy (talk) 16:32, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, you were added in January 2020 and only removed in January 2024. I am not thrilled with the attitude, and am also concerned about the copyright issues. I'll wait for a reply but just know that I am leaning towards declining. Primefac (talk) 16:54, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The backlog is terrible, and I would like to help. I have a great grip on MoS, GNG, and requirements for both BLP's and WP:OGCRIT.

As i've grown in my editing skills, I feel that I would make informed judgements without being unfairly heavy handed to either decline or accept submissions.

As a reviewer, I would try to submit genuine feedback to other editors, especially new users, to help them submit content that is appropriate for wikipedia and within guidelines.

I do feel i'm proficient enough to review submissions thoroughly for requirements in an efficient and timely manner.

I will treat each decline or acceptance as if I am responsible for the content reviewed, and will take full responsibility for all the decisions/judgements I make. Comintell (talk) 04:12, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I meet the requirements and having the reviewing tools will help reduce the number of articles awaiting review, especially those that are nonsense or doesn't qualify for an article. I might have broken the rules here, but I've already created a couple redirects using one of the tools using User:Eejit43/scripts/afcrc-helper at WP:AFCRD.

Oppose @Greghenderson2006 The AFCH script does not highlight inappropriate references. It will serve no purpose for you. Additionally youi are blocked indefinitely from mainspace, and thus the tool is not of the slightest use to you. It is used to aid reviewers in automating the processes of review, but not the facts of the review. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:06, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The prior request is still on the page above here. Spicy declined that application in June. I feel somewhat perplexed that this has been requested in a different manner by this editor. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Firm oppose for the reasons @Timtrent said and the prior declines. This is disruptive and not the path to have your block lessened @Greghenderson2006. Star Mississippi 01:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input. I met no harm in requesting a helper script. It has been advertised as a Wikipedia gadget to help when reviewing articles for submission. The page WP:AFCH does not clearly say who can't use it. The reason I tried to install it a 2nd time was in reference to a recent draft article that was not accepted based on the AFCH results. Thus, it made sense to use the tool to see if it would helpful. I am sorry if it appeared to be "disruptive." Greg Henderson (talk) 01:20, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Greghenderson2006 Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script#What can I do using AFCH? which explains what it does. Nowhere does it say that it does what you thought it might do. "...need to run the script to see what failed" is patently not available.

We do not require notices at every point in our lives saying what can and cannot be done. This tool is of no use to you. I suggest you remove becoming an AFC reviewer from your wish list indefinitely. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 06:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - [non-admin comment] This editor is partially blocked for poor sourcing including misrepresenting sources, close paraphrasing, UPE and other issues. They applied for ACHS on June 9 and again on July 2, now for the third time on Aug 1, which sees odd. I'd like to AGF, but it seems like it might be trying to game the system.

Yes, lets Wikipedia:Assume good faith. That is always a better option that repeat someone's past mistakes. I am really a good person trying my best to create good articles! Greg Henderson (talk) 14:50, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Greghenderson2006 We know you to be a decent person, Greg. I believe everyone tries their best to help you to put past errors behind you. The difficulty faced by other editors here happens when you ask for something three times in close succession that has been denied to you twice already, and when the denial is because the item you asked for was inappropriate in the first place. Please try very hard always to use the good judgement you exhibit for a very great deal of the time. I doubt than anyone opposes your rehabilitation. I know I do not. You cannot measure the high volume of good faith directed towards you, not the strong desire for you to succeed and put this recent past behind you. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 16:45, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe we are dealing with a major WP:CIR issue. S0091 (talk) 19:37, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greghenderson2006, you do not seem to understand what this permission is for. It simply allows users to accept or decline drafts. It would not be of any use to you in improving your own draft articles - there is no part of the script that would allow you "to see what failed". Please do not request this permission again as you do not qualify for it and have no use for it. Not done. Spicy (talk) 20:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done You have had almost 25% of your article creations deleted. While most of these are some of your "earlier" creations (i.e. 2020 and earlier), and I know that consensus has changed a lot even over the last four years (i.e. I am not basing this judgement only on that deletion rate), but the lack of participation at the related AFDs and CSDs makes me concerned. In other words I'm seeing some reasonable page creation but no indication of experience on the other side of the coin (i.e. deletion-related activity) to indicate you know what is good/bad when it comes to reviewing new content.
