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:

Reason: A IP is doing vandalism and unhelpful edits in these three articles, we are reverting them for three long days but they are continuously doing it. I reported them see here but looks like they are using more than one ips to vandalize these articles. In this situation it is important to protect these three articles for longer period because the person is persistent enough. No other action will not work as they are using many ips.

Talk:Garena[edit]Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This is the talkpage of a mobile games company. While there are occasional normal contributions, the vast vast majority (see the recent revision history) is just spam related to various accounts and requests for free currency or account help etc. Some of these contain what I think is game profile info, I don't know to what extent this is a privacy concern, but it doesn't feel great. At any rate, due to the excessive and continuous disruption I am proposing it for one of the rare talkpage indefinite semis.

Autopatrolled[edit]User:Prince of Erebor[edit]
I have created 80 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC) User:SheriffIsInTown[edit]
I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews.

Hello. I would like to request Autopatrolled rights on the advice of user Broc, who appreciated my editorial skills. I have created more than 140 articles, mostly music-related. (I also have these rights in Russian Wikipedia.) Sanslogique (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
User:CharlieMehta[edit]
I am requesting autopatrolled rights for the second time to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia. My previous request was denied due to a lack of editing experience in biographical pages. Since then, I have focused on improving my expertise in this area. Since then, I have focused on improving my expertise in this area. I may not meet the criteria based on quantity, but I hope my work demonstrates the necessary quality. Charlie (talk) 12:43, 2 June 2024 (UTC) User:Losipov[edit]
I'm applying for autopatrolled rights for a second time, with my first request being denied in April 2023. The reason for that decline was that my previous articles were tagged for "notability". Since then, I have worked on bringing articles over from the Russian Wikipedia and have had relatively few problems when other editors were reviewing them (I don't bring over everything from those respective pages, so I add a tag for expanding from Russian to let others know that information is still there). I feel like I have learned from what I was doing wrong, and in the process, I have made dozens more articles since the decline. Therefore, I respectfully request that I be granted the autopatrolled permission this time around. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Losipov (talk) 17:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC) User:Ednabrenze[edit]
I regularly create new articles until I took a break to focus on work and studies. I have now concluded the studies and have retuned to creating new articles. I am requesting this right to help bring down the large number of articles waiting for reviewers attentions as articles I create will no longer join the queue if this is granted. Ednabrenze (talk) 02:50, 4 June 2024 (UTC) There are no outstanding requests for the confirmed flag.

I've been editing seriously for one year, have 4,300+ edits, I've participated in RMs (including initiating them), and I've never had any behavioral blocks. Zanahary (talk) 00:01, 2 June 2024 (UTC) User:Kiran891[edit]
I've been an editor for 7+ years with 20K+ edits on Wikipedia, 78K+ edits on Wikidata, and over 8.5k edits on Wikimedia. In past month, I have tagged many files for move and figured I would rather ask for the filemover priviledges instead of duplicating work for other users. I've never been a disruptive editor. Please consider my request. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiran891 (talk • contribs) 2024-06-04T02:05:21 (UTC)
User:AddWittyNameHere[edit]
Had the perm before, but it inactivity-lapsed a fair while ago and I held off on re-requesting upon my return because I had no need for it at the time. Would appreciate having it again so I can do WP:SWAP-style moves related to taxon articles (typically, either to bring articles in line with WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA and to fix taxon articles where the correct scientific name redirects to an invalid scientific name, but the redirect has post-creation edits.)

I have been editing for around 2.5 years now, with specialised focus on field of entertainment. I also often correct typos or do general fixes on articles of various subjects.

I've done reverting vandalism (Although I was on a hiatus since Golden Week as the vandal level hit 5) for some months now, with my edits growing over 2000 from 89ish including other works, and I request this permission to help with the works. I understand that I did make a misunderstandment couple of weeks ago and I have revised the guidelines to prevent another instance of that happening. (I've been making sure not to miss placing a uw as well). Not planning to request rollbacker until I stop making accidents. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:34, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
User:750h+[edit]
I have made some very high quality articles (Aston Martin DB9 FA and Aston Martin Rapide at FAC) so I am very familiar with what content is reliable and what is not. I have reverted vandalism (in fact, reverting vandalism was the first edit I made) and whenever i seen vandalism, I take extreme pride in reverting it. Best 750h+ 13:28, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

I think I have a decent understanding of Wikipedia's policies. I've monitored recent changes and have mostly reverted vandalism whenever I see it, trying my best to always warn them.

Rollback[edit]User:Wolverine XI[edit]
For more than a year, I have been reverting vandalism on numerous wikis. I'm rather skilled at identifying vandalism. I have made over 8,000 additions to the English Wikipedia, 700 edits to the Simple English Wikipedia, and around 800,000 edits to Commons. I edit a great deal. I'm always here to keep the wiki safe—in fact, I've been editing every day since December 27. That being said, I require the rollbacker to aid in the quicker and more effective removal of vandalism in our articles. It will also allow me to use AntiVandal, which makes sporting vandalism more simpler. I'll be careful not to rollback good faith edits as that's against the rollback policy. Thanks, Wolverine XI (talk to me) 18:10, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
User:Adam Black[edit]
I think I have a strong history reverting vandalism and would like to request rollback rights in order to use Huggle. I already use UltraViolet and Twinkle and I think rollback/Huggle will improve my ability to tackle disruptive editing. Adam Black talk • contribs 12:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Template editor[edit]User:Magentic Manifestations[edit]
Hi! I guess I would require this for doing certain edits with respect to certain templates, particularly with respect to Indian territories and transport. I have been making edits to templates within the ambit possible, but there are a couple of protected templates which would need additions (E.g. rint updation). So, it will be useful to have this.
