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.

    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 at 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.

    User:Grabup

    My previous application was rejected as I didn't meet the minimum 25 articles requirement, but now I've surpassed that and continue to create more, mainly focusing on film articles and Indian village and town articles. I believe I have sufficient knowledge about WP:GNG, WP:NFILM, WP:NPOL, and more. Therefore, I think I'm now eligible for this right. Thanks. Grabup (talk) 15:49, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

     Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days (). MusikBot talk 15:50, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
     Not done – @Grabup:, Numerous articles of yours are missing references (Narayanpur, Dakshin Dinajpur, Dahuakuri, and Chandmukh). If you are given autopatrolled, it is because you are creating quality articles. Based on my review, I do not think you have sufficient knowledge of what Wikipedia considers quality writing and referencing and am not comfortable giving you the tools. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:16, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    @HickoryOughtShirt?4, These articles are about villages, and there aren't any sources available for them. I understand Wikipedia's rules about citing sources well. You can check my film articles; they have good sources. For instance, Fairy Folk, UT69, and Dukaan. Villages don't usually get covered in the news, so it's hard to find citations for them. But I appreciate your opinion. Grabup (talk) 17:23, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    @Grabup:, if you cannot find sources for something, you cannot put it in. It's as simple as that. I don't want to discourage you but this further reiterates to me that you need to spend more time around article creating. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    HickoryOughtShirt?4, it's not an "opinion" that sources are required. Wikipedia:Verifiability is policy. Schwede66 20:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    Schwede66, I am unsure how what I wrote above came across as if I was saying it's an opinion. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:12, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    Sorry, HickoryOughtShirt?4, I was trying to address the applicant, of course. I grabbed the wrong user name; this was supposed to be for Grabup. My mistake. Schwede66 22:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

    User:B3251

    I am making a request on behalf of myself, as I sometimes create new articles pretty often (mostly New Brunswick-related). As of right now I have 66 live articles, and I have expanded plenty more. I have had a few deletions: two articles when I was brand new to editing & one list I created in mid-2023 (due to not completely understanding WP:BLPCRIME at the time). Otherwise, my articles have been pretty straightforward and vary in quality, with most being Start/C-class by the time I publish them. I had a little bit of a rough start when it came to "notability knowledge", as many do, but overtime I have grown to have an understanding of WP:GNG and WP:MOS when writing articles. Thanks, B3251 (talk) 11:53, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

    User:TheGreatestLuvofAll

    I have created at least 25 articles that follow WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG about singers and albums. I am familiar with WP:C, WP:V, and WP:BURDEN in my articles, without copying content without permission, and I make sure my info is sourced in any articles I created.

    I recently noticed this user, Princess of Ara. An editor who works mainly on Nigerian related articles and others. While trying to appreciate the user's effort, I got in love with the lovely articles, well sources, written from a volunteer in good faith and now, I am requesting that she be granted the auto patrol user right. It'll also help reduce heavy backlog of NPP. Thanks for your consideration! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

    Pending changes reviewer

    User:Rydex64

    I'm actively participating in editing and reverting disruptive edits, vandalism by patrolling the RecentChanges. I use Twinkle/RedWarn to revert edits. I'm interested in pending changes reviewer rights so I can patrol any new edits that involves Vandalism, Disruptive Edits, Edit Testings, Trolls and approve constructive edits. Looking forward :) 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 17:15, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

    User:Sunnyboi18

    Hello, I'am applying again for Pending Changes Reviewer, as it was felt by a person who reviewed this that my request was "all over the place" and that "I didn't understand that PC rights are". I don't think that's fair.

    I was simply just giving my experience and of having done 632 edits on Wiki involving mostly updating critical information, having been an Editor since Feburary 2021, and being familiar with Wiki Guidelines & Copyright and understanding the importance of making sure the info on Wiki is correct, and preventing Vandalism. And other requests saying that exact same stuff were approved, so not sure what to say but, I'am aware of the importance and privliege of this permission, and would like my request to be considered fairly, as it did not feel like that was the case the first time, based on the response that I got.

    Rollback

    User:RodRabelo7

    Hello, for some time now I have been patrolling Special:RecentChanges occasionally and reverting vandalisms that I identify, using Twinkle. In addition to reverting, of course I also notify the users who commit these acts of vandalism. I also usually make reports to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. I'm adding this request for obtaining the rollback tool here because I would like to have access to semi-automatic tools, namely Huggle, which would greatly facilitate the work currently done with several clicks. I enjoy patrolling recent changes and I'm sure that becoming a rollbacker would make my work easier. I have been a rollbacker on Commons for over a year and understand how the tool works, as well as the risks associated with it, committing myself not to misuse it, under the risk of losing it and possibly being blocked. Thanks, RodRabelo7 (talk) 05:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC) RodRabelo7 (talk) 05:29, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

     Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 06:14, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
    Thanks, Fastily, I'll follow your advices! How many reverts do you think it's neccessary during this period? Cheers, RodRabelo7 (talk) 06:27, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
    I'm not looking for a specific number. But I will say that it's not uncommon for experienced vandal fighters to make several dozen reverts a day. -Fastily 09:01, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

    User:Cleo Cooper

    Aloha! I've spent a while going through recent changes and I consistently warn editors with RedWarn. My understanding is that the rollbacker permission can help with this by allowing access to special tools like AntiVandal and speed things up, especially when I need to mass-revert all the edits of a user.
