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. To do list:

Requests for page protection
Current requests for increase in protection level[edit]Request protection of a page, or increasing the protection level
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: UPE user 'Acrosstheriver21' was blocked in 2021 after making COI edits to this article. Since then a series of Northern Italian based IP addresses have been editing this article in a disruptive fashion. Statements by the user on the relevant IP talk pages indicate that this is the same user, evading the block. Disruption continues and, since the film will shortly be released, further disruption can be expected. Some form of page protection would seem preferable to playing IP whack-a-mole. Further detail can be found in the relevant discussion at WP:COIN Axad12 (talk) 05:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Wiki-battle over the last several days including what appears to be a death threat, against the backdrop of extreme tension in Bangladesh. I suggest that protecting the page until the situation calms down would be helpful. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 05:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC) Reason: Long-term vandalism by IPs, for years as far as I remember relating to a point on involvement of Pakistani general. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:11, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – anon IP jumper has been reverted by several of us multiple times. Perhaps a week of protection will stop the issue. It's not an article that is edited a heap. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:18, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary extended protection: Updating quickly - vandalism very likely. Also, aren't all 2024 Election-related Articles protected? Avishai11 (talk) 19:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: False information about it was Posted today. Want page protected before that information is brought back/any more misinformation is brought in. 2600:6C46:6800:21F8:A1A4:41BB:F7D9:A371 (talk) 19:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason: To control vandalism. TheHistorianPHD (talk) 20:02, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. Page has a history of disruptive editing/vandalism by IPs. Also it's a contentious topic as per WP:CT/IPA Wikibear47 (talk) 20:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary extended protection: All 2024 U.S. Presidential campaigns are protected (most have Extended). Harris announced she is running for POTUS, so her campaign's page should be protected. If not extended, then at least Semi. Avishai11 (talk) 20:19, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protection: BLP policy violations. LR.127 (talk) 23:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Increased vandalism as we approach the Olympics. Requesting protection until the end of the games on August 11, 2024. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 23:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent sockpuppetry – Sockpuppetry/vandalism/disruptive editing continues despite three previous protections. Heartfox (talk) 00:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC) Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]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.
Reason: It was protected indefinitely when the article subject was Premier. She has long left that role. Any vandals would be long down 12 years later. The protecting admin is not active at the moment. LibStar (talk) 23:38, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]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.
I would like to request that... (We are able to take all the hearsay out of this Article. I have been watching her videos on youtube and a lot of the information she is providing is basic and extremely healthy. Any doctor whos ever prescribed anything could be classified as doing something extremely dangerous.. look at america atm.. nothing wrong with barbara. Clean this page up please. Btw she said for me to use castor oil on my dermatitis and it worked, 20 years of nothing working that doctors and dermatologist perscribed and here i am, my serrabhorbic dermatitis and rosacea have gotten better) . 114.30.104.246 (talk) 19:37, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrolled[edit]
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)
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Ahola .O (talk) 10:38, 19 July 2024 (UTC) Hello good day, may I request the autopatroller rights? Although I just have 17 articles so far of course one is deleted. I mostly write biographies, movies, and history. These articles are free of problems requiring the attention of patrollers. Thank you.
Confirmed[edit]
Unflagged bot under test hitting editfilters. Requesting confirmed rights to prevent this, and to allow clerking of Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism/TB2. See BRFA. Mdann52 (talk) 06:29, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting confirmed rights I am requesting confirmed rights because I am trying to create a new page however I can't do that without confirmed/auto- confirmed permissions. Pemguincraft (talk) 22:13, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
File mover[edit]
I would like to apply for the File mover right to rename files. I've been contributing on Commons for quite some time now, and I've been doing lots of good file renaming requests on Wikipedia. The file movers also appreciated my rename requests [6]. I'm a file mover and patroller on Commons, and I've moved over 1000 files so far. I have a good understanding of the renaming guideline, and I think it would be really helpful also having the right here. Thank you! Waqar💬 14:08, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Page mover[edit]
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)
Hello, my page mover privilege has just expired, after 90 days of what I believe to have been productive use in NPP and AFC. Could it be extended please? Thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 06:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Im requesting pending changes reviewer rights because I wish to review some changes made by inexperienced users, I’ll be fully active and really want to get this right. Madeforall1 (talk) 10:14, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm starting to review pages for copyvios, and, as a result, I'm starting to encounter reviewer-protected pages. (If the article on Rotten Tomatoes wasn't a backwards-copy, I might have been hosed.) In any case, I hope my experience across multiple Wikimedia projects demonstrates the competence needed for this permission. ⸺RandomStaplers 00:07, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
I am well familiar with the Wikipedia Copyright violations, Wikipedia Biographies of living persons and much more of Verifiability to other subject aside humans. My main focus are on the WikiProject Nigeria and little works from other Wikiproject. Reason being so I don't get occupied with other subject am not 100% familiar with their source such as Indian and the rest. Gabriel (talk to me ) 12:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing. Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right. Thanks for reading! -- ThatOneWolf (ChatEdits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
I watch recent changes often for vandalism and problematic edits, and understand the difference between the two when reverting them. I've also reviewed the guidelines on reviewing pending changes. I hope this right can help me more effectively perform anti-vandal work. ADifferentMan (talk) 07:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting pending changes review rights to improve my anti-vandalism work here on Wikipedia. I frequently revert instances of vandalism and am willing to assist with pending changes revisions. Thank you. — doclys (❀) 14:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
Hello! I would like to request rollback rights as I've been pretty active in countering vandalism since May. I use Twinkle and I notify new users consistently when I revert, usually by using a warn template, but other times by writing a message myself. I do my best to distinguish between good faith edits and vandalism and avoid unnecessary edit wars. Having made around 20 successful AIV reports, I am interested in making patrolling quicker with Huggle. Thank you! ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 22:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, at this point I think I’m ready to fight vandalism and make good rollback edits, I really need this tools to be giving me to me, I’m an experienced editor and I think some editors are really not doing justice in terms of there edits, I want to use the tools to revert some edits that shouldn't be Madeforall1 (talk) 11:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I am applying for the role of rollbacker, having been a Wikipedia user for over 10 years and being increasingly active in the last few years. In this vein, I feel that I have undone my fair share of vandalism and, being mainly focused on football/sports articles, vandalism and unconstructive/unsourced edits are very common in my area of interest and editing. I believe that these rights will be very useful in maximising the efficiency of my work on Wikipedia and will save me time from undoing separate edits individually. Additionally, I have past experience as an administrator on a Wikia project, where I made use of the rollback feature and have good knowledge of its positives and when to utilise it. Thank you for taking your time to review my request. Kind regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 12:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
I regularly monitor the "recent change" feed now for about 2 months now, I actively warn users when I revert their edits thanks to twinkle and ultraviolet and actively report the clear vandals and spam accounts. I want to access the rollback rights to make reverting easier as I have slow internet. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to request rollback rights to quickly enhance the process of reviewing RecentChanges. For over a month, I have been patrolling RecentChanges and using Ultraviolet and Twinkle to revert and warn users. Thank you. — doclys (❀) 14:26, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Template editor[edit]
I'm requesting template editor privileges due to recent changes that classify parts of the Template:Occupation_by_nationality_and_century_category_header as high risk [8]. I developed this template to help manage occupation categories and have become quite familiar with template syntax over the past year, though I do not consider myself an expert. My expertise lies more in R programming, which I teach as part of a data science class. I meet nearly all the requirements for template editor privileges, except for having syntax requests implemented in other high-risk templates. While I have edited templates that have become high risk, I acknowledge that this is not the same. However, I have made a sizable number of technical contributions to RegExTypoFix, primarily in optimizing the regular expression. This is the code underlying the spellchecker used by AWB to implement uncontroversial misspellings. If necessary, I am willing to find and suggest syntax changes to further demonstrate my capabilities. Mason (talk) 03:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm requesting template editor permission for some edits related to Wikipedia:WikiProject Ships. I meet all of the guidelines and have held template editor permission in the past (see Special:UserRights/RP88 and Special:PermaLink/805154993 for original grant), but previous template editor permission was dropped during a period of inactivity on my part. I am not sure if it is relevant to en.WP, but as a Commons administrator I have made hundreds of edits to the restricted templates/modules in the Commons Module and Template namespaces. —RP88 (talk) 23:45, 20 July 2024 (UTC) Footer[edit]Policies and links
