Inkipedia talk:Requests for Rights

Add category
An admin should add to Inkipedia:Requests for Rights/Archives/GogglesKunInkling. 14:57, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Edit Count
I had an idea that, when requesting rights, you should say how many edits you have made and what percentage of those are "real" edits. This is an important factor in deciding whether to approve a request or not. To find out this information you can use Fumple's edit counter. I want approval from an admin before I make this official because this is an important topic. Eminence  Chatter  19:08, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's something that should be necessary. People are able to check for themselves if they think it's something important but also it can change drastically in the course of voting if people are editing a lot. Luke26 (talk) 13:36, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, just an idea. Eminence   Chatter  13:47, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

 * The proper procedures for requesting rights can be found on Inkipedia:Requests for Rights. I'd recommend waiting a while longer and continuing to edit and monitor recent changes though. Luke26 (talk) 21:14, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Err,
Is anyone going to delete my request? its been up for 2 months  Squidmaster   Talking   20:37, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Done, thanks! Luke26 (talk) 22:59, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

We really should add sockpuppeting
I think we need to mention this in the do nots-- 20:52, 31 January 2021 (UTC)Italic text
 * I think that is already covered with the multiple accounts policy. Heddy (talk) 22:20, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

How long do requests stay active?
How long do requests stay active before it is archived? I think we need to address this in the RfR page. Some requests, like Shahar's were active for over a month before Shahar was promoted. Also, SQUIDKID2000's RfR was not archived for two months after it was clear he would not be promoted. I think we need to have a limit on how long a RfR can be active before the request is closed. 16:21, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * There is no set rule. I think we should write two weeks, or maybe a month. Does anyone have an opinion on the timeframe? Heddy (talk) 22:15, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Two weeks sounds good to me! I think that gives active users plenty of time to vote. 22:22, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Three to four weeks give enough time for people to vote and write their opinion. In case there's a definitive result, maybe shorten it to two weeks. Shahar (talk) 22:23, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with you about closing early if there is a definitive result. Four weeks, but allow it to be closed in two weeks if there is a complete consensus (meaning everyone votes the same way). Heddy (talk) 22:32, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree. Someone should add it to the page then. 23:30, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. Heddy (talk) 01:20, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Revenge
Is it allowed for users to vote against you because you reverted their edit? This could be considered a form of retaliation, and you are not supposed to vote in retaliation. Just asking, because I don't think anyone has voted in retaliation before. 13:49, 2 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Don't bother with this. 14:27, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Me Being a Patroller.
I want to be a Patroller. I have 100+ edits. # Reason for Voting: I am really good at coding Splat.girl Splat.girl (talk) 18:22, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * How many edits do you have, exactly? I'm just curious, but normally if you have around only 100 or so edits, you don't quite have enough experience. Not trying to sound rude, sorry. Maybe go here; Inkipedia:Requests for Rights if you haven't quite read it all already? ArivakiVA (talk) 18:28, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Regarding what I said about not having enough experience, I wasn't trying to sound rude, I was just using what I've heard from other request for rights commenters. ArivakiVA (talk) 18:30, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I have around 119 edits. I understand That I don't have enough experience (also, that could be because I'm a kid), I will come back here when I have 1,000 edits. I just wanted to see if I could be a Patroller. Splat.girl (talk) 22:55, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * There's no specific number of edits to get, but it's good to gain experience and help the wiki by making high quality changes to articles, and by reviewing and improving others' edits from recent changes. After a few months or so, when you feel confident that you are ready, then you should review the instructions at Inkipedia:Requests for Rights and submit the application. Heddy (talk) 00:11, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I get what you're saying. In a few months I will come back here to submit a new application. I know I have 122 edits. Thank you for reading this. Splat.girl (talk) 13:29, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright! I hope you become a patroller in the future! (I'm working towards being one too! ;)) ArivakiVA (talk) 17:04, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
