Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Christopherwoods

(Reviewer)
Hello, I don't yet meet the criteria for auto-reviewer privs but I have a long contribution history to WP since 2006. (Summary of my activity across WP on via WMFLabs.) I would like to contribute edits and approve suitable submissions in the pending queue.
 * I'm reluctant because to my mind, 492 WP editions don't represent a significant experience and in addition, our reviewers need to read the local policy. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 10:05, 29 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Moreover, each sister has cultural differences because of its particular task, and smaller sisters especially have to beware of importing culturally mismatched habits from outside (especially from Wikipedia, since it's the largest sister); so we prefer that our reviewers gain some local experience, to acclimate to our local culture, before granting them the review bit. I recommend you relax and take your time to get the feel of how Wikibooks is a different place.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 11:07, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * All understood. I'd like to think that I'm sensitive to context. I edit and work in various house styles as an occupation. If ~500 contributions to the larger sister site is not considered sufficient experience, I'm happy to relax by the pool for a while. (P.S. - if 492 != 'sufficient', what is?! :-) Chris W.

If you really want to use auto-review then wait the 16 days. Also, you do not seem to be using Wikibooks anymore, so this is a stale request. 19:31, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm not a daily contributing user, but I've been increasingly using the site as a consumer recently to the point where I've wanted to actively contribute reviews, corrections etc. I'll continue to do so to demonstrate future suitability. Chris W. (talk) 13:35, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The autopromotion criteria are meant to ensure, besides good faith and general wiki experience, hands-on experience with Wikibooks so the user is likely to have picked up by osmosis a sense of the particular character of Wikibooks. The criteria are listed at WB:Reviewers; usually, I think, the last criterion a user satisfies is 8 edits spaced 2 or more days apart.  I honestly don't know whether or not non-content-space edits count for that criterion; if they do count, you have 4 out of the 8 so far (24 August 2011, 24 September 2017, 29 September 2017, 17 October 2017), if they don't count then you have 3 out fo 8 so far (because 29 September 2017 edit was to project space rather than mainspace).  So that should give you some perspective on how close to/far from autopromotion you are.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:49, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I might add, once you've met the 8 edits spaced 2 days apart, there will be the 5 edits in recent changes. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:16, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks all for the info, all very helpful and it's clarified the process. Chris W. (talk) 23:37, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
