Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/BethNaught

+Reviewer
This user is already known on Wikipedia as an administrator, and since the 18th of August she has made around 130 impeccable orthographic corrections here, in other words 16 per days. So I can't find any reason to review her anymore. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 17:42, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Reviewer is about more than orthographic correctness. The autopromotion criteria are chosen so that the user has time to acclimate to the local customs that uniquely distinguish Wikibooks from other projects.  So that, for example, we don't get Wikipedians reviewing things that would be culturally appropriate to Wikipedia but not here.  If BethNaught continues as you describe, autopromotion will happen in due time, and by that time BethNaught will by osmosis have picked up more of the local flavor.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 18:13, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi both, it doesn't make so much difference to me, but I'm confused as to why the autopromotion hasn't kicked in yet. As far as I can tell I meet all the criteria at WB:Reviewers. BethNaught (discuss • contribs) 20:39, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I've said before, I wish the software had a facility so one could directly query how a user stands against the criteria. (I might add a facility for this with my dialog tools, though I'd still have to guess whether I'm really duplicating the internal criteria.)  Like you, I don't see any criterion you haven't satisfied.  It bothers me philosophically to do it by hand when the software appears to be not doing what it's supposed to; but perhaps it's coming time to give up on the software working right.  Maybe later this evening I'll be done feeling annoyed at the software and take care of it (or someone else will beat me to it).  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 21:37, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
