User:C1K98V

Hello, I have created 100+ articles, primarily focused on television series. And I plan to keep doing the same. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Link to previous request. (I have no opinion at this time.) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Extraordinary Writ, I appreciate it. Thanks for looking into my request. — C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 05:50, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Joe Roe, you declined this previously. Do you want to have another look? Schwede66 06:42, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry I don't have time to look at this properly right now. I'm happy for another admin to process it as they see fit. – Joe (talk) 09:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have written a total of 48 articles, including 6 in the past 2 days, mainly about hip hop artists. My articles usually have little to no issue. I'm requesting for the autopatrolled right to lighten the amount of unreviewed articles. Roasted; (talk), c. 00:07, 19 June 2023 (CDT)

 Not done, sorry. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wacotron looks like it's heading for deletion and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Overtaxation of the United States was not that long ago. – Joe (talk) 09:55, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because NPP is the first line of systemic bias on wiki, exempting even just my creations from NPP is an improvement. In my own experience NPP has been a net negative, while I'm sure it is useful in some cases at some point my article creations aren't those. My creation history is beyond reproach, I have even been solicitied to join NPP on multiple occasions but have repeatedly declined on ideological grounds (I don't join paramilitary organization like the NPP).

@Rlendog: This is your first edit to this page since 2009 and the first time you have ever granted a perm to another user, and it is to accept, without discussion or explanation, six minutes after it was made, a request for an exemption to NPP that calls it a "net negative" and "paramilitary organization". That's rather odd. Would you mind explaining what brought you here and your thought process in handling this request a bit further? – Joe (talk) 09:31, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) I wholly share Joe's concerns here, even putting aside the extraordinary speed this was seemingly actioned, but to not challenge someone who clearly has some significant underlying issues with the page patrolling process seems to be an oversight. The appellant's expressed opinions on the process and their desire to bypass it entirely, with that rationale, warrants scrutiny. Bungle (talk • contribs) 13:25, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I reviewed several of his new articles and did not see any issues. Rlendog (talk) 21:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've also been familiar with this editor's editing for a while, and while I think there have been issues with some of his edits to noticeboards, I have not seen any issues with his new pages. Rlendog (talk) 21:30, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't see an issue with the NPP is a paramilitary organization comment then? – Joe (talk) 05:31, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have problems with the way this editor sometimes interacts with other editors, including overzealous language. But those problems are not with his editing of articles, creation of new articles, or with his knowledge of our guidelines and policies. If anything, they are overzealous in discussing those guidelines and policies, which is my impression of his depiction of NPP.
My experience with this editor goes back to January/February 2023, in a discussion at ANI regarding AfDs of certain football players. I thought some of their comments were inappropriate, particularly disparaging one particular editor involved in the discussion. He also made at least one uncomplimentary comment about me. Given that I was involved, and that the long discussion at ANI was plenty visible to many admins, I did not take any action regarding the HEB's disparaging comments at the time. But I did review their edits to ensure that they were not just trolling, and found that their edits to articles were fine and that they can be helpful to other editors who ask for assistance on their talk page. And since I was concerned that their aggressive comments about other editors may be a pattern, I saved some of the diffs from that ANI discussion in case issues arose later.
I've had a few other interactions with them since. In a discussion in late 2023 there were more interactions between HEB and the editor they disparaged in early 2023, in which HEB made at least one more condescending comment about the other editor. There was also an ANI around the same time about HEB's behavior in which that other editor linked the page containing my diffs from the previous ANI. I don't think I participated in the later ANI (if I did my participation was minimal), since the evidence I would have had to offer had already been linked, but I checked HEB's contributions again and did not find anything wrong with his article editing, and again saw their willingness to help others, albeit sometimes caustically, which is another reason I chose to not participate (or minimally participate) in the new ANI. After that ANI ended with no action against HEB, HEB requested that the diff page be speedy deleted. But as an admin, you are able to see it: User:Rlendog/Sandbox6.
There is one more incident I recall interacting with HEB on, where they made a disparaging remark about an editor who created an article about a sportsperson (I think an ice hockey player) that was at AfD. In that case the article pretty clearly did not meet our current notability guidelines, but had met the notability guidelines that were in place when the article was created. So I commented (not sure if it was on the AfD or on their talk page) that HEB ought to be careful about disparaging editors who created articles that were perfectly legitimate under guidelines then in effect, even if those guidelines subsequently changed.
But none of my interactions or reviews of their contributions indicated any issues with their editing or creation of articles, or with their knowledge of our current guidelines or policies; in fact, my only concern with their knowledge is their overzealousness in enforcing them. So when this request came up on my Watchlist, I was surprised that they didn't already have Autopatrol rights. I actually came to the page wondering if they were disparaging someone for requesting Autopatrol. When I saw it was they requesting, I checked some of their recent creations to make sure their wasn't a problem, and granted the rights. I am sure that they are aware that if they abuse the right it will be removed. And if you think I was mistaken in granting the right, I have no problem with you removing it. But while I think there are sometimes issues with the way they interact with others, those are not issues with article creation. And while it is possible that their interaction issues may one day get them banned or blocked, as long as they remain editors in good standing, I am comfortable with them being Autopatrolled (but again, you may have more experience granting this right, and if I erred feel free to overturn it).
