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.
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.

Keep monitoring the user, until their username is more clear.. The Wiki-wide sandbox is an edit test environment. Let's see whether there's further edits anywhere else. Euryalus (talk) 12:11, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Place requests for new or upgrading pending changes, semi-protection, full protection, move protection, create protection, template editor protection, or upload protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: 1 month protection for 2.28.232.228 edits without a valid reason. Shkuru Afshar (talk) 02:21, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Declined@Shkuru Afshar: There are only two edits and they are not vandalism. Please try to engage with the IP by putting a section on article talk with an explanation of the problem and link to that in an edit summary that reverts problematic edits. It's not feasible for admins to get involved in every disagreement and it is necessary that initial attempts be taken by others. Johnuniq (talk) 02:59, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
@CFA: Please fix the article before requesting protection. Wording such as the following regarding a WP:BLP is not acceptable: "In July of 2020, [person] was included in accusations of sexual assault surrounding Burger Records by the Instagram account [external link]". The reference seems ok which is why I didn't just delete the paragraph. Please take the hint from how the reference described the situation and definitely do not mention or link to an Instagram account. Questions can be asked at WP:BLPN. Johnuniq (talk) 03:07, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
@Johnuniq: I've fixed the article and removed the OR about the Instagram account. The rest is supported by the citation. I'm only requesting protection because EddyGrapes and (I assume) the same person as an IP keep reverting the article without discussing. They have broken 3RR and have shown no interest in discussing. CFA💬 03:33, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of two weeks, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Johnuniq (talk) 03:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – It is very difficult to undo the vandalism when someone do not notice it and good additions are some afterwards. I think this page need protection from frequent edit wars by new users with WP:CIR issues. Admantine123 (talk) 02:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – With news of her departure from AM Racing, there will be a flood of vandalism from numerous users. Areaseven (talk) 04:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Extremely high contentiousness of this topic leading to edit wars and inclusion of misleading or contentious information without sufficient caveats. For example, the inclusion of the estimate of 186,000 deaths as an estimate of deaths in Gaza even though even the source this comes from says this primarily includes potential future deaths and the deletion, un-deletion of the section on Gaza by extended confirmed users. 128.12.122.220 (talk) 04:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
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.
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.
Reason: Biya has recently received international media coverage (see below) over her coming out. She already has an article on the French Wikipedia, which I have translated at Draft:Brenda Biya.
Coverage:
I imagine that article would become a lightening rod for BLP-violating content. I agree even the draft is WP:BLP1E; any coverage is due to her being the daughter of Paul Biya.-- Ponyobons mots 18:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
I believe the article covers several notable aspects from her life. The fact that she is the daughter of a world leader, the accusations of lavishness according to the press, her eviction from the Parisian hotel by the anti-Sardinard Brigade, her controversial comments as noted in the press since 2020, and her coming out which has been noted in the international media. As far as I am aware, this figure has consistently received attention from reliable sources for several years now. ―Howard • 🌽33 11:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
So I don't understand how the person is to be considered as only having 1 notable event. ―Howard • 🌽33 11:22, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
How much of this coverage would she have received if not for her parents? Being the daughter of a world leader is not itself grounds for notability, accusations of lavishness are par for the course for the families of top politicians, and coming out of the closet is something the LGBTQIA+ community does regularly enough that it's only news because of her parents. That leaves the hotel eviction as the only event involving her that could possibly help for notability, and in cases like this where the subject is and remains a private person we err towards not having an article. —Jéské Courianov^_^vthreadscritiques 17:24, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: I understand the need for protection with regard to the GamerGate harassment, but she's gone on a radical Zionist bent ever since Oct 7th making increasingly racist/Islamaphobic statements, so much so that's she's been shunned by progressive allies and even began courting members of the far-right who previously slandered her. I feel it's only appropriate that this be reflected in the article. Spymaster Cosades (talk) 17:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
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.
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.

Hello, I have created 100+ articles, primarily focused on television series. And I plan to keep doing the same. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V(💬✒️📂) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been actively editing in different topic areas (mainly politics/civics) on Wikipedia for a few years and have created some new article pages.
In this time I have gained a strong understanding of Wikipedia guidelines and would like to apply that to review edits to articles to identify vandalism / inappropriate edits. CrazyPredictor (talk) 01:30, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been editing on Wikipedia for more than three years and i have developed the expertise to identify vandalism and familiarize myself with Wikipedia's content policies and copyright laws. I'm requesting the rights and responsibilities that come with this experience. 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 13:39, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Not done I noticed you started actively editing about a week ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month gaining experience editing Wikipedia before assigning you advanced permissions. Thanks, Fastily 20:45, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Ok, Thankyou for your guidance! 𝒮-𝒜𝓊𝓇𝒶 06:41, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
Good day! I am requesting rollback rights to speed up the process of reviewing recent changes. I meet the mainspace edit count requirement and have been patrolling recent changes for over month. My track record of reviewing shows that I can quickly and effectively differentiate between vandalism and good faith contributions. Thank you. Garsh (talk) 17:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates and adding new items to template:rail-interchange, with a special focus on rail lines in France for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris starting later this month. I have made multiple edit requests there in the past, and very recently after refamiliarizing myself with the process, I've started to do it again. I would like the ability to edit that template directly so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. Jackdude101talkcont 07:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet
It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.
This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
