Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Ronk01

+Reviewer
I occasionally make minor edits to cookbooks, and it would be rather nice to be able to have them visible immediately. I already have the Flag on Wikipedia, where I have over 3500 edits (it might be closer to 4000 now). Thank you! Ronk01 (discuss • contribs) 03:09, 19 June 2011 (UTC)


 * The system provides for auto-promotion at the point where you have enough edits to be considered to "understand" Wikibooks sufficiently to review your own edits. These auto-promotion criteria were agreed by the community. In general requests for the flag are only needed if for some reason you can't be auto-promoted. The need to "learn a bit" first is because WB is different in several ways to WP. For example, the use of red links is not common here (see Dewikify) but is common at Wikipedia, which I'm guessing is why your first two edits here were to insert a red link. This isn't a criticism, just an observation on why the community set some guidelines around when the reviewer flag should be granted - because it takes a little time to learn about the differences between projects. Is there any particular reason why you feel you won't ever reach the auto-promotion criteria? Thanks QU TalkQu 18:33, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I do make relatively few edits, but I suppose I would eventually reach the criteria over a significant span of time. Ronk01 (discuss • contribs) 18:18, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * One way to quickly boost your edit count would be to help out with patrolling recent changes for vandalism, and to welcome new users. (see Maintenance) Recent Runes (discuss • contribs) 21:20, 20 June 2011 (UTC)


 * If the issue you have is specifically being able to see your own edits, this can be set in Special:Preferences where you can choose to show the latest or the last reviewed page by default. QU TalkQu 23:21, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
