I've been editing for nearly 20 years and created thousands of articles, and this makes it easier for other editors by marking the pages as patrolled by me (so they don't show up on the unpatrolled list). ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Only because it was part of the admin package. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

 Not done. Keeping it brief to avoid unnecessary drama: this right is generally not given to paid editors. –  Joe ( talk) 17:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Joe Roe: That's a load of crap. Regardless of the FoF, I have never been paid to edit anything on Wikipedia. There's no possible evidence of that that could exist as it's never happened. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:40, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

The arbitration decision says otherwise. We can't just ignore it. –  Joe ( talk) 17:48, 15 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Joe Roe: The decisions claims I made three paid edits, out of over 123,000 total edits. There is no article (nor has there ever been an article) for the company for whom it is claimed I made paid edits, and I have never planned (nor do I have plans) to make an article for that company. How they claim to have come to the conclusion that I made paid edits is a mystery as they refuse to share this alleged evidence, especially since there can't be any evidence of paid editing since I've never been paid by that company or anyone representing them. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Nihonjoe: What's the strong need in this situation? The concerns are obvious and clear based on the recent drama, and, based on the outcome of recent events, it makes sense to decline the request. Your pages will be reviewed by a member of the new pages patrol team at their earliest convenience. This perm is mostly to reduce the load on them, which is nothing to get upset about.

@ Hey man im josh: I disagree. I'm being refused a permission that's generally easy to receive based on a decision made based on alleged evidence ArbCom refuses to disclose to me. I can't imagine what there is to get upset about. </sarc>

Regardless, go ahead and cancel this request. I have better things to do with my time. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Nihonjoe: There's nothing to cancel, the request was declined by Joe Roe already. Additionally, based on your recent creations, it doesn't appear that granting you AP would be really doing much to reduce the backlog. I can't imagine what there is to get upset about. – I guess waiting for your articles to be indexed by Google is a terrible plight to deal with, but luckily the perm doesn't affect your ability to contribute or operate on the site in any way.

@ Hey man im josh: Stop being an ass. I don't think I've ever tried Googling an article I worked on here. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Nihonjoe: Seems like you're the one being the ass here. In case you're unaware, having your articles indexed by search engines is essentially the only benefit of the autopatrolled user right, which is why I mentioned it, not because of some accusation you're assuming I'm making. See Wikipedia:Autopatrolled#Function for further information. Hey man im josh ( talk) 17:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Hey man im josh: It felt like a continuation of the false "you're a paid editor" thing. If that's not what it was, then I apologize. I'd forgotten that was part of the autopatrolled features. I haven't had to pay much attention to that since my edits have been autopatrolled since 2005 or 2006 (or whenever it became a thing). ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Nihonjoe: I did not intend to be any type of accusation or dig and I could have been more careful about my wording to avoid the insinuation. Hey man im josh ( talk) 17:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Hey man im josh: Then, as I wrote, I apologize. It's been a very stressful and frustrating few weeks. ··· 日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:14, 16 April 2024 (UTC) reply
