@Captain Galaxy has created 32 articles, with only 1 of those being deleted five years ago (per WP:A7). Since then, @CG has created well sourced and well written articles, such as Cow (Mario) and Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash, along with 9 other GAs. I recently reviewed CloverPit as part of the ongoing backlog drive, and found no issues. @CG has had many successful DYK nominations, as can be seen by their talk page history. I am confident that @CG's articles do not require reviewing by NPP and can be trusted with the AP right!

I have been editing Wikipedia for around six years and have created over 100 articles, as well as many redirects.

Hey Zuck28, would you be able to explain what happened at Ladakh International Music Festival? It looks like some of your changes had to be revision-deleted as copyright violations. (Non-administrator comment) —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:22, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes, it was due to a copyright issue. It happened in February 2025. Zuck28 (talk) 21:38, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) This attack page notice from @Fram is quite concerning. Whilst it occurred five months ago, this is still fairly recent. There is also a WP:COI warning from admin @Deb three months ago. Your recent article Kajheri was tagged by @Gnomingstuff in November. @GS is a very experienced and active member of WP:AIC, so I trust that this is a legitimate flag. This LLM notice from @Jeraxmoira in October also shows a potentially ongoing problem with LLM use. I am not going to formally oppose, but these issues definitely raise legitimate concerns around article creation. Especially with a permission that would allow articles to skip the review feed. 11WB (talk) 22:29, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

I'm also a bit concerned by recent article creations for films and TV series that are based purely on pre-release coverage, and do not include any coverage of their reception, which is typically the most encyclopedically-relevant (and notability-establishing) component for media.  Not done for now, but consider reapplying after building up a stronger track record at AfD. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:09, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I am requesting rollback rights to combat vandalism in Wikipedia. I qualify to all the criteria mentioned above. I have been in monthly top five pending changes reviewer multiple times and I think if I have rollback rights, I can prevent vandalism even better and make Wikipedia a nicer place. Also, I have read the Wikipedia articles on rollback and reviewing changes thoroughly. TrueMoriarty (talk) 12:39, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

@TrueMoriarty although it's not directly relevant to rollback, I'm concerned about your very recent brush with copright (cc Diannaa). Is there anything you can say about that that would make me more comfortable? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:22, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

@HJ Mitchell. Hello. I deeply regret what occurred about that copyright issue, but believe me, my intentions were not bad. It was purely an accident and here’s what really happened. It is slightly troublesome to change tabs repeatedly while creating an article, so I copy-pasted the whole thing in my sandbox, where I thought I would peacefully take information from the article in question to the article I was creating. While creating the article, I was fully aware of copyright, notability, style and other guidelines but at that certain moment I was under considerable mental pressure and I accidentally mistook some paragraphs of the copy-pasted article as written by me so I just gave references and published it. It was kind of a mix-up. Like my paragraphs were there and so were the paragraphs of the copy-pasted articles and I accidentally deleted mine and kept the copy-pasted ones. Once again, I apologize sincerely for my mistakes and I hope I will be forgiven and be given rollback rights. Have good day!TrueMoriarty (talk) 07:32, 9 January 2026 (UTC)

I should begin by saying I'm not even sure this is the right action to take. I don't see myself needing to edit high-risk templates, work in sandboxes, or answer edit requests. However, several much more "ordinary" templates are protected nowadays, and I feel sufficiently established I don't want to bother others with relatively trivial changes, such as textual changes that don't require mastery of wiki or lua code. I do feel confident I won't accidentally wreck things. If you reading this really think we still live in an ideal world where only templates that would otherwise need full protection have template protection, then you should deny this request. Otherwise, I can think of maybe one instance every other month where I just left something alone even though having this right would enable to quickly fix something small, with next to no risk.

Can you provide some examples of successful requests and examples of changes you'd make if you had the user right? voorts (talk/contributions) 17:59, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Looking at my browser history, here's a small selection of template-protected templates I've recently had reason to examine: {{Uw-spamublock}}, {{Underlinked}}, {{Archives}}, {{Connected contributor}}, {{Interlanguage link}}, {{Highlight}}. I can't promise I was involved in actually editing all of them without ransacking memory deeper, but since this is only from the last couple of months, I hope it is clear I could have made minor improvements had I been able to. I have been fairly involved in talk discussions for Archives and Interlanguage link, but I hesitate to bring those up because, as stated, I foresee mostly making less complex edits. Anyway, it happens frequently enough that I come across a protected template and can't even make the simplest change (without bothering my hard-working fellow editors) that I finally made this request.
