Wikinews:Flagged revisions/Requests for permissions/Removal/Microchip08

Microchip08's last article to review was six years ago, and last review log was five years ago. This is neither a challenge to the user's admin tools nor a challenge to his overall (in)activity. Rather, per WN:PEP, just the user's reviewer tools and ability to understand and select which right article to publish are put into question. Microchip can still be an admin without reviewer tools, ya know. I notified this person almost one year ago about having not reviewed one article within the past year at the time, and I re-notified just one week ago. Furthermore, this user has been notified about lack of reviewing activity and invited to review articles. I've not yet seen one review done by this user within the past year to now since the notifications and invites. I'd like to hear word from this nominated user. --George Ho (talk) 02:45, 16 June 2024 (UTC); amended, 07:46, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Questions and comments

 * Given our lack of active reviewers, I would be hesitant to support removal of reviewer permissions simply for inactivity. I would be more happy to see them return and review a couple of shorter/easier articles to get back into the groove. I would be discouraged by a brief response from them to the tune of 'I don't think I should lose the permissions' without first returning and doing a small review or even some sort of a pre-review without using the easyPeerReview tool. —Michael.C.Wright (Talk/Published) 17:50, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * PEP is a policy, even if you don’t like it. This isn’t the place to say that we should get rid of PEP. Additionally, someone who hasn’t reviewed in 5-6 years will have probably forgotten a lot. Outside of a few minor edits, they have done nothing in nearly 6 years. They will have to relearn before they can give good reviews. Remember that it is supposed to be much easier to regain the permission. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 17:29, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
