Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Mathmogeek

(Reviewer)
I feel like I deserve (almost 30 days old) the Reviewer privilege instead of having to wait a whole hour for someone to review me. Also, I would love to review other new users (which I would do so quickly). --Mathmogeek (discuss • contribs) 13:50, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * update: you can check my xtools admin score link out for my admin score and xtools general stats link for my general statistics.

The autoreview permission does not allow you to review others' edits (you need reviewer for that). Also, while you've indeed had an account for almost a month, you have edited only in two days, and you've edited in only a few books. Considering this, I am not inclined to granting autoreview at this time. I would also note that you'll automatically become a reviewer upon meeting some criteria (see above link).

 * Oh, I understand! I changed it the request to Reviewer. And, I edited a lot of articles though. I am also trying my best to help out the community as much as possible at the moment by editing a lot more articles on all Wikis. I think you should reconsider. Thank you, though. --Mathmogeek (discuss • contribs) 14:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

have you looked through the requirements at Reviewers? I don't believe you fulfill them them at this time. If you need help with any action that needs the reviewer permission you could ask somewhere like WB:AA, or on my user talk page. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 17:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I have, and I know I do not fulfill them at this time, which is why I was asking for permission to become a Reviewer here. Is it not possible? --Mathmogeek (discuss • contribs) 17:22, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * It is possible, but you should understand why the wait is built into the process for giving the +reviewer right. It is to ensure that people are familiar with the standards and expectations here. For example, understanding how books are structured, how the categorisation system works and so on. For example, if your edits aren't reviewed, then we want to be sure you understand that needs adding to new subpages to avoid a large backlog of uncategorised pages being added. That's what people are looking for - not "can you be trusted" but "are you up to speed on Wikibooks so that I don't need to help you." QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 19:05, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah... I got you. I understand now. I think I got it from here. So, yeah I think I am ready and up to speed on Wikibooks! --Mathmogeek (discuss • contribs) 19:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
 * the thing you've got to realize is that you may feel you're ready, and indeed you may be ready, but it is a different matter to convince the community that you are. Now both Leaderboard and QuiteUnusual are admins for this project, and neither seem particularly keen to grant you the permission. But this isn't really that bad, because with a couple of weeks or so of fairly consistent editing the software will promote you (but do remember to use edit summaries, as the software checks for these). So in no time at all you'll become a reviewer; and in the meantime you can always ask for assistance. So its really no big deal. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 23:07, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying; but rather than waiting 5 days to become a reviewer automatically, I wanted to become one now. Especially that now I tick all the boxes (except for the 30 days old one, I am only 25 days old at the moment). So I thought it is reasonable to ask to become a reviewer, when I am only 5 days away anyway. --Mathmogeek (discuss • contribs) 16:55, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

I now am sure I qualify for auto-reviewer. Please let me know if there is anything else to do though. --Mathmogeek (discuss • contribs) 08:47, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The bot(?) that does this acts in a delayed fashion, that's what happened to me. I recommend that you continue editing. It should happen eventually. AshLin (discuss • contribs) 04:28, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The bot still hasn't done this, and it's been almost two weeks now. Not sure what is causing the delay at this point. Mathmogeek (discuss • contribs) 11:32, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * @AshLin and Mathmogeek It's not done by a bot, but it's rather automatic. This happened to me as well, and apparently it stopped doing this between 2019-2020 SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 05:55, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It's not a bot, it's a function of the MediaWiki software and it isn't reliable. I've manually added +reviewer QuiteUnusual (discuss • contribs) 08:31, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
