Administrator note @TrangaBellam: You seem to have a undeniable point of view about India-Pakistan and similar relations. I'm afraid this may affect your reviewing process, as you have used the undo button various times to re-add possibly biased or controversial text. @ToBeFree: I've pinged ping the admin that granted you rollback for another opinion in case I'm being overly cautious. Anarchyte (talk) 10:50, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Pinging @RegentsPark:, as an admin patrolling ARBIPA. You seem to have a undeniable point of view about India-Pakistan and similar relations is an irrelevant observation - editors can have their POV as long their content is NPOV. TrangaBellam (talk) 11:00, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

TrangaBellam's editing is neutral as far as I can see so pending changes should not be a big deal. I did notice, however, this open SPI Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Faizan involving them. I have no idea how valid the accusation is but perhaps it is better to wait till that is resolved. --RegentsPark (comment) 12:47, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

There should be no action until that SPI is resolved, yeah. I can also see Anarchyte's concern. Rollback is used for reverting pure vandalism only; pending changes reviews apply to good faith contributions as well. I have no opinion in this specific case, I'd just like to request that noone makes any decision based on my granting of rollback. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:31, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you. TrangaBellam (talk) 23:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

On some retrospection, the situation is surreal. Here Anarchyte is indirectly accusing me of an anti-Pak (or pro-India) POV while the SPI accuses me of the very contrary! TrangaBellam (talk) 23:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Having a perceived POV is hardly an irrelevant observation when discussing content permissions. I didn't claim you had either a pro or anti-Pakistan bias, just that you had used the tools you already had to re-add possibly controversial text. Anarchyte (talk) 01:41, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

I have only become familiar with TrangaBellam's edits today, but I am already extremely concerned by the examples I see of extreme and seemingly POV deletions of large bodies of content, see here and here, followed by bouts of edit warring to defend their highly contentious deletions with only the briefest of explanations in the edit comments and on the talk pages. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:10, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

In your first example, I was cleaning a bunch of pages that were orbited by the same sock-farm. My edit was reverted very soon, and an admin reverted to my version. The page was eventually protected. Same for the second example - you can see my note at the talk-page, a lot of blocked socks, and an admin reverting to my version before protection.

Nonetheless, you can dispute my edits but at the talk-page rather than here, having stalked me from the AfD. Thanks. TrangaBellam (talk) 18:58, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Yes, your vociferous and slightly combative tone in the AfD peaked my interest as to your editing trends. Just because a page has been sock-farmed does not automatically make that content incorrect or its removal correct. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:10, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Multiple other editors (incl. admins) have repeated my edits — please ping all of us, and start a discussion at the proper venue. Additionally, I had nowhere suggested that I was removing content because a page has been sock-farmed. I won't engage with your bad-faith arguments any further. TrangaBellam (talk) 19:13, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

@Anarchyte: The SPI has been closed by a CU as unsuccessful with not a single established editor being convinced of the claims. TrangaBellam (talk) 15:56, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

I would like to become a pending changes reviewer because I am committed to combatting everything that comes under vandalism and would like the opportunity to take that to another level. HyacinthBucket55 (talk) 18:28, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

@HyacinthBucket55: Can you please explain your countervandalism experience? Anarchyte (talk) 04:21, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

@Anarchyte: I remove content that is either unreferenceable or misinformation, and revert edits made by trolls. HyacinthBucket55 (talk) 10:19, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

I have been told by Sysop Newslinger I could come back after three months on the 25th of February 2021, now it's October and I guess three months have passed:) I have from time to time some pending change on my watchlist or on my rollback patrol and then I could just accept it if I can see it is alright. The last time I requested permission was as someone blamed the PKK of being a terrorist organization in the Abdullah Öcalan article and my revert had to be accepted by pending changes reviewer Houseblaster.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 23:24, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

I have been trying to eliminate vandalism and hoaxes for a long time. Have used Twinkle many times before. Also have been granted access to AWB and JWB, which I have always handled responsibly. With 1935 live edits, I have always shown respect for WP guidelines. Recently, I pointed out persistent vandalism at WP:ANI#Fatima Jinnah, which underscores my commitment to anti-vandalism. Due to the persistent vandalism on Fatima Jinnah, the page has been Pending changes protected, as such I am no longer able to edit it, despite protecting it from vandals many times before. Also, I would like to have this ability to review changes on a number of other projects & articles too. Thank you! ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 14:15, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

I believe I have enough experience as an editor to review pending edits Jibran1998 (talk) 21:57, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm Currently extended confirmed , Rollbackers , IP Block Exemption Rights and have about 2,568+ edits, so that ought to qualify as a verifiable editing track record. I've been rather active since joining Wikipedia, and I spend a lot of time fighting vandalism, so I have experience to see what it looks like. I'm also familiar with AIV if it comes to that. Giving me this permission would help me fight vandalism, promote good editing, and save time for other editors.and I'm Currently Member of CUVA. Best Regards. Maniik ^{🇮🇳Any Help🇮🇳?
