Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Liam987

+Reviewer
I am a fairly experienced Wikipedian, and I have been editing Wikibooks for a few days. I am in the middle of writing a Wikibook called Geography of France. I have made some minor edits on other books and have been irritated by the pending changes thing (I'm glad the English Wikipedia got rid of that). Anyway, as you can see from my Wikipedia contributions I am not a vandal, and I am familiar with the WikiMedia interface and I understand the style of Wikibooks, so I would like the Reveiwer privilege sooner than I would normally get it. Thanks,  Liam987 ( talk ) 18:37, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Except on Wikijunior, the general public sees by default the current draft, not the most recent reviewed revision; that is, pending changes are visible by default. It's not like edits won't be "published" until sighted.  So pending changes are a pretty trivial irritation.


 * Understanding how Wikibooks differs from Wikipedia calls for a period of acclimation; and automatic promotion really doesn't take all that long for an active contributor (about a month) &mdash; assuming they meet the criteria, which do include some things it's possible to screw up on, like failing to have an email set and confirmed in Special:Preferences, or using mostly blank edit summaries on one's edits.


 * It isn't apparent there's cause here to subvert the reasonable and non-onerous autopromotion mechanism. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 15:20, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * This is all that's stopping me asking for reviewer - there's a bit of a backlog of my changes unreviewed and if they were hidden be default that would be a shame. ChrisHodgesUK (discuss • contribs) 10:23, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I have now been automatically promoted to Reviewer.  Liam987  17:04, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
