I first registered this account - my first - April 20, 2007. Since then, I've gotten involved pretty deeply in AfD work. I see it as a chance to triage articles that are flawed, but may yet have potential. If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected biographies of living persons violation, I will userfy the article for you.

Note that using the text to recreate any deleted article may automatically qualify them for speedy deletion, and copies of previously deleted content that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion because Wikipedia is not a free web host. We have a list of alternative sites which may be used to host your content.

I maintain a sock account AVPW primarily for use on public networks. In the event of a compromised account, I specifically request any administrator to honor a request from AVPW to block this account, and absolve you in advance of any repercussions.

    Reason: The article Roddy Ricch currently has no protection whatsoever. I was wondering if Semi-Protection could be placed on the page since the article seems to be well written, the article is a Biography of a Living Person, and the person was relatively popular back in 2020 and received various awards.

    • Automated comment: One or more pages in this request appear to already be protected. Please confirm.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 22:07, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

    Reason: The Seventh Day Slumber Wikipedia page has been repeatedly targeted by persistent vandalism, including deliberate misinformation and the manipulation of images to misrepresent the band’s reputation. The following disruptive edits have been ongoing:

    • Ongoing pattern of trolling – Despite multiple reversions of false edits, the vandalism persists, affecting the integrity of the page.

    • Misuse of images – A misleading photo from a smaller event was uploaded to intentionally misrepresent the band’s typical concert attendance.

    • Unverified changes to band history and lineup – Critical facts about the band’s background, discography, and personnel have been repeatedly modified without reliable sources.

    Given the pattern of disruptive behavior, I am requesting Semi-Protection or Extended Confirmed Protection to prevent further unauthorized and misleading edits. This will ensure that only autoconfirmed editors can modify the page, reducing vandalism while maintaining Wikipedia’s commitment to factual accuracy.

    Thank you for your consideration. Blaiseslumber (talk) 22:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

    Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced material with no article, which has gotten removed by other editors (including me recently) due to low notability. 1isall (talk) 23:00, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.

    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

    Autopatrolled

    Hello, I have created 75+ articles, since I got autopatrolled mostly focusing on television series. For transparency, I'm still working on the feedback received from @Schwede66 in my last request. And I intent to keep doing the good work. Thanks for your consideration.

    Could you please point to where the date of birth of Gautam Vig is referenced, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
    Hi @Schwede66, I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I have sourced the DOB in the early life section as per WP:INFOBOXREF. I followed the editing style of Geniac, the way he improved Sheezan Khan and tried adapting the same. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
    Thanks, I had a fab wee holiday. I don't understand your answer. I see that there is one ref in the infobox, and that reference does confirm the date of birth, but it is attached to the spouse only. Could you please explain what you mean, and how the referencing confirms the date of birth, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
    Schwede66 In the above mentioned article I have sourced the date of birth in the Early life section, see here. And the spouse's source is just about their marriage. I'm following the editing style of Geniac, the improvement he did in one of my previously created article see here. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
    Sorry, which reference states the date of Vig's date of birth? I cannot see it. Schwede66 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
    Schwede66, I have used two sources for DOB, Colors TV and India Today. You can find both the sources in the Early life section. Hope it helps, if you still can't verify the birth date, you're most welcome to remove it. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
    @C1K98V Is it just me or the webpage you're linking to from colorstv.com is redirecting to a /mena/ directory making it impossible to see what you're talking about or citing. As for the indiatoday.in, you did not initially position the citation as of when Schwede66 started reviewing your request, you only repositioned the citation today. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
    Hi Vanderwaalforces, I'm not sure if the Colorstv website works outside of India. Let's wait for Schwede66 to confirm if they're able to verify it. I'm sharing a screenshot of the website for reference [2]. While searching for sources related to their academics, I found IndiaToday and added it later in the Early life section. I repositioned the named citation as I wanted to highlight it for Schwede66, so I left an edit summary too. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 03:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
    (Non-administrator comment) I can access the colorstv source and confirm that it mentions Gautam Vig's date of birth. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
    That's good to know, because I have the same problem that Vanderwaalforces talks about. I will have to get back to this item. Schwede66 07:44, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

    Concise, well-written and sufficiently articles, mostly with a royal or Church of England focus. I looked at an articles of theirs as part of NPP, and found it to be up to standard without editing. Others look reasonable too. Klbrain (talk) 12:15, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

    91 main space articles, 45 rated above stub, no deletions. I mostly create articles for albums or BLPs of musicians. GanzKnusper (talk) 09:26, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

    I know my first articles are... bad, but my recent pages, Yumeshima Station, Meitetsu KiHa 10 series, Meitetsu 3400 series, and Resignation services should be good without being patrolled. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 03:11, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

    The user has created 189 articles, and only two have ever been deleted—with one later restored. They have a strong understanding of reliable sources (WP:RS) and are well-versed in BLP policies (WP:BLP). I've reviewed one or two of their articles, and I believe they truly deserve the rights.

    I have created 90 articles, of which 81 are above stub-class and none deleted (to my recollection).

    I was previously denied autopatrolled permissions for not having enough articles that didn't go through AfC; I've since created 14 articles without utilizing it. Hwqaksd (talk) 18:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC) Hwqaksd (talk) 18:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

    I have created 65 articles which are live, I understand the Wikipedia notability and other standards. I do create the articles of great quality. Hence request you to kindly grant the autopatrolled right, as the articles which I have been created are in pending for review state from long time, which demotivates me from creating new articles. Now a days, I'm mostly creating articles on Indian Villages. I have an experience of 11 years in Wikipedia, My articles are featured in DYK and ITN section of Wikipedia main page. I have worked with some of the Wikipedia admins and gained the knowledge. Searching our article and finding our Wikipedia page in the first result kept me motivating to add new articles to Wikipedia. Thanks in Advance. —Naveen N Kadalaveni (talk) 17:25, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

    @NaveenNkadalaveni: (Non-administrator comment) Please add your reason for requesting autopatrolled rights. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:44, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

    I've created 37 articles main JP-related articles. Seven including Huwie Ishizaki appeared in DYK. (Though, I only discovered DYK later in July), Huwie Ishizaki is both WP:GAN and on queue in DYK (will release tomorrow when I'm writing this). None of my articles are deleted all of them are well-sourced.

    My earlier stuffs are a bit short (e.g. Shōgo Yasukawa, Yoshinobu Yamakawa) and the earlier pages I created are stubs (N56 highway (Philippines), Urdaneta–Dagupan Road). In total, 6 of my articles are stubs. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:41, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

    With over 45 live articles created, I believe that my experience on Wikipedia can positively contribute to patrol community. In addition, I believe that this right will also accord me more opportunity to grow. I hope i am given a chance. Thank you. Mevoelo (talk) 12:46, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

    Based on the XTools link in your nomination, you've had at least four of your creations deleted at AfD in the past six months for notability issues. That and your nomination statement leads me to believe that your work still requires scrutiny from new pages patrol. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:41, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

    I came across this user while reviewing articles in NPP. They are an infrequent new article author, but have a clear understanding of notability and reliable sources, in addition to being a major contributor to several quality articles. A few sparse concerns about the use of copyrighted images were quickly corrected when notified, and they have been invited to NPP previously. Reconrabbit 18:55, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

    Hi! I edit Wikipedia quite frequently, particularly fighting against vandalism and I think that if I had this right, it would enable me to be a more helpful and better user. I would like to be able to confirm these requests as I think that it would just be another way for me to be helpful. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 10:40, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

    I have been a active contributor to Wikipedia for quite a few months now, actively editing and creating articles related to Texas politicians. I'm also well aware about the Wikipedia policy on vandalism. I see a lot of requests on articles that I edit miscellaneously in my free time, however I don't have the permission.

    I'm requesting Pending Changes Reviewer status so I can help speed up and decrease the number of pending changes to articles. I know the rules about vandalism, verifiability, editing guidelines, and everything else. Danoniinho (talk) 20:55, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

    Hello, I would like to request **Pending Changes Reviewer** rights. I have been an active editor since December 2020, with **1,094 total edits** (945 live). In the past year, I have made **345 edits**, primarily contributing to content creation, sourcing, and maintenance. I have created **154 articles** (121 currently live), ensuring compliance with Wikipedia's content guidelines. I am familiar with **WP:VANDALISM, WP:BLP, WP:NPOV,** and other core policies. I aim to help review pending changes on semi-protected pages to ensure accuracy and reliability. Thank you for your time and consideration! bɑʁɑqoxodaraP (talk) 10:42, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

    Hi. I'm Stranger43286. I has made 1000+ edits and reverted many vandalism. I also known Wikipedia"s core policies (NPOV, WP:V and more). Pending changes reviewer rights might be helpful for me. RealStranger43286 (talk) 08:40, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

    Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I've been an active contributor to Wikipedia, focusing on improving article quality, maintaining neutrality, and adding reliable citations. I'm well versed in core policies (NPOV, Verifiability, NOR) and understand the importance of pending changes. As someone who values data integrity in open-access knowledge, I prioritize accuracy and well-sourced content. One of my objectives is to help keep Wikipedia factual and trustworthy. HerBauhaus (talk) 17:09, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

    I'm patrolling PendingChanges and RecentChanges on a regular basis. I'd like to request pending changes review rights because I am familiar with the policies including (Verifiability, NPOV, BLP, OR, and also VAND - NOTVAND) and this right would help me to combat vandalism. I'm willing to help reduce the pending changes backlog. Ʀasteem Talk 04:44, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

    Hi, I'd like to request pending changes reviewer so that I can help out with the review backlog. I'm active both at CopyPatrol and in recent changes patrolling, and familiar with the relevant policies regarding reviewing pending changes (Copyvio, potential BLP issues, legal threats, personal attacks, and libel). Tenshi! (Talk page) 01:21, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

    I just think it'd be neat to take part in the process of reviewing pending changes! I have an understanding of good versus poor content, and gaining this right would be nice to exercise when I come across a needy page. BarntToust 01:50, 6 March 2025 (UTC)


    Rollback

    There have been too many times when multiple rounds of improper edits/vandalism on pages I follow have required individual reversions, so having the rollback permission would be useful. Coining (talk) 04:09, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

    I mainly edit on pages related to sportscar racing, where unregistered users often edit multiple small things (often going against the page consensus at the time) in the span of a few minutes. This role would be particularly useful to be able to rollback these edits at once. I check my watchlist multiple times a day and I am quite active in general. Thanks for your time. SportscarFan2004 (talk) 09:40, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

    I request rollback rights. I need rollback rights to more conveniently eliminate vandalism in English wiki. In addition, I have rollback rights on Russian wiki and I am also actively eliminating cross-wiki vandalism. I have read the rollback policy and am ready to follow it.

    I am kindly requesting rollback permissions for myself, in order to revert vandalism using the Huggle tool. E6400 (talk) 14:24, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

    Hi, I requested for this right a few weeks ago, which MusikBot will flag up. The reason I was declined was mainly because I had not met the 200 mainspace edit threshold needed for my application to go through. A concern was also raised about one of my edits, saying that I had jumped to conclusions about an editor a bit quickly and had gone too fast with the warnings. I am now trying to be better at using the warning system more fairly and helpfully and I hope that I have addressed this concern. Most of my edits on Wikipedia have been fighting against vandalism and with this tool, I will be able to fight it more efficiently. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 15:27, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

    I'm requesting rollback rights to enhance my ability to fight vandalism. I Would like to try out AntiVandal tool. I'm a Mobile user, so Rollback will be very useful for me.

    UNITED BLASTERS (talk) 14:05, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

    Hello, I would like to request rollback rights. I have made many reverts using undo and I use SWviewer/Twinkle to revert vandalism (see this to see my reverts). I understand the policies of rollback and have thoroughly read through the rollback policies and guidlines. I hope that I would receive the rights (permenant or for a probation period).— Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 09:45, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

    I usually manual revert edits and undo revisions, particularly in Nepal-related articles, where vandalism is more common. Having rollback rights would help me efficiently maintain the accuracy and quality of these pages. WikiMentor01 (talk) 09:22, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

    I've been editing on Wikipedia since May 2024, and often times see IP accounts or newly created accounts cause disruption, vandalism or spread misinformation across vital articles. I have to manually revert their edits most of the times. Since I have been working on improving and expanding a few high exposure articles, I believe rollback rights would give me a large boost in handling vandalism. Swoonfed (Ping) 14:58, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

    Despite the fact that I took a somewhat lengthy Wikibreak, I've had over a month's experience of patrolling Recent Changes to combat vandalism. I have read WP:Rollback as well as have consistently notifying users of their reverted edits. I hope to use this tool so I can revert Vandalism more efficiently. With Thanks,  Ghent123  Communicate 06:57, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

    I'll like to request for rollback rights. I have started patrolling recent changes since this year to remove any problematic edits. Having this tool can make the reverting process easier since it saves time consumption and therefore limits the chances of any accidental misclicks. Thanks.

    Hey, am requesting the rollback rights mainly for reverting vandalism or unconstructive edits as i've read and understood that one can use the rollback but for reverting vandalism. Thanks, Would be glad if granted. – Raphael (B//C) 02:00, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

    I want to request rollback right for me to counter the acts of vandalisms in Wikipedia.
