Please use this page to request the Flagged Revisions permission, putting new requests at the top. Requests will generally stay open for at least a week (unless fast-tracked), after which an administrator will read the comments made by other users and decide whether or not to add the flag.

I
Before a request

Before requesting this permission, you must be familiar with key policies, particularly the style guide and neutral point of view. Prior to review of any article, and its subsequent publication, you will be required to copyedit the article for any style issues. This requires a very good understanding of English grammar to maintain the quality of the project's published works.

You should have written many published articles with which no major problems should have arose during review lately. It is best if you have already helped to review articles and gave feedback to the author – either on your own, or together with an established reviewer. If you wish to practice under supervision, subscribe here, and reviewers will try to reach you on IRC before review sessions start.

II
Create the request for permission:
  • Users can submit their own requests (self-nomination), or
  • Other users can nominate a candidate.
  1. Add the candidate username in the box below and click the Add a request button.
  2. Complete the questions on the resulting page and save it. Please highlight if you are nominating someone who has not yet accepted the nomination on-wiki.
  3. Transclude the request page at the foot of the section below by adding the title of the request page, enclosed by curly brackets e.g.:
    {{Wikinews:Flagged revisions/Requests for permissions/YourUsername}}
  4. Then inform the Wikinews community of your request.

III
Questions

You may be asked questions by other users so they can review your request. Please try to provide full answers.

IV
Community decision

The request must remain open for at least seven days. An administrator will close the request and will also add the flag, if there is consensus. Closed requests are moved to the Archives.

Note If a request has been open for over a week, please leave a note at the talk page of an administrator.

Removal of Reviewer status[edit]

Post requests here regarding any user who you consider has abused reviewer status. Provide a justification for the removal, preferably with examples of where the permission has been abused.

Note for this section, "{{Remove}}" means "support removal of permission", and "{{Oppose}}" means "oppose removal of permission".

Gopher65 (talk · contribs – Edit rights)[edit]

The user okay'ed with being de-sysopped. I notified the reviewer twice last year about having not reviewed articles for more than two years. Someone requested a review on a now-deleted article, but Gopher65 didn't reply or do anything else regarding that. I know enforcing WN:PEP is challenging or irritating to others, especially when the project has a very small community. However, another user's reviewer tools were taken away recently, implying that PEP should apply, even when reluctant to do so. --George Ho (talk) 21:15, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
