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 protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or, failing that, the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: Very contentious article documenting a caste; many people have edited the article in order to push their own narrative, which often diverges from reality. I'd like to request that only extended-confirmed can edit. In addition, I'd like to request the barring of Devid yadav from editing the article due to repeated reversions of any source conflicting his narrative.
Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement. related to WP:ARBPIA and the recent war with Iran and the Zionist state. I don't see why this is under semi. Freedoxm (talk · contribs) 19:04, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

There are reports of the new regime in Syria allowing Israeli jets to use its airspace, so Syria could now be listed as 'support' or 'proxy' on Israel's behalf. Israeli leaders have made no secret that they played a role in the dismantlement of the Assad regime through the weakening of Hezbollah, and deterring Iranian planes. Additionally, there are allegations of unofficial support from Iraqi Kurdish groups and relations with Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as back-channel support from Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco. Germany supports Israel and Merz has made that clear. Italy also supports. Probably limited Canadian and Australian support too. While, the Netherlands and Denmark also participated in "Operation Prosperity Guardian" in the Red Sea against the Houthis in Yemen. On the other hand, Iran is supported by Iraq, Qatar, Turkey, Russia, North Korea, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is not 'just' Israel and its Western allies and anti-regime Iranian proxies against the Iranian regime and its proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen, but politically it is much more nuanced and many other countries are definitely involved here behind-the-scenes. 188.214.15.197 (talk) 15:05, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
In the sentence: "The IDF hit a building where several senior officials of Iran's intelligence organizations were staying, was targeted, killing Iran's intelligence chief and other key senior officials." remove:"was targeted," because the sentence doesn't work as is. This seems like the result of an edit that rephrased the sentence but didn't properly remove part of the old one.

Autopatrolled[edit]
I've been here for almost two decades, with 30k+ edits and a fair number of articles created in the mean time. I believe I am well-qualified for autopatrolled perms. _dk (talk) 23:50, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi. Based upon my learning and experience over the years of editing on Wikipedia (almost a decade now), I have created very selected pages which I find qualifying Wikipedia policies. If I find them trending in news but un-complying with the policies, I usually leave a redirect, or occasionally start with the draft. I believe not a single page that I created and/or majorly contributed has been deleted, and many respected editors and admins whom I had interacted with have always been helpful and supportive, believing in my good faith. Plus I only rewrite those articles in bad state which I find relevant, and not every other random article. However, due to recent attacks by sock puppetry over my edits, I want to be an autopatrolled user, so that I can easily continue volunteering independently here, and participate in the ongoing Destubathon as well. I promise I will not misuse this position. Thank you! M. Billoo 13:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I want to have this permission to reduce the pending changes backlog. I reviewed all the guidelines, such as BLP and the guideline for referencing. I revert good faiths and obvious vandalism and warn the user right after. Although I cannot perform a rollback to the recent changes page to have a consecutive track record due to my device's limited capabilities. I would rather choose pending changes over rollback; with rollback, I must have track records of mass rollback vandalism. But since I understood the guideline of rollback and pending changes, I can assure you that I will be responsible for having this permission. — ArćRèv • talk 10:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
I've made 200+ edits and created over 40 mainspace articles. I'm familiar with core content policies and would like to help review pending edits. Thank you! Wieditor25 (talk) 22:14, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
This is my third application. I believe that I have enough experience and that with the help of Twinkle, I could throw a "ROLLBACK" command and thwart the vandals. Thank you, Starfall2015 chat | about me 06:14, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
I would like to be able to review edits that others have made, so I can check for vandalism. Floating Orb (talk) 21:06, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
I'm re-requesting rollback to use tools that require this permission to more effectively combat vandalism. I believe I should have a high enough edit count. GalStar (talk) 03:58, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
I was graciously referred here by Myrealnamm. My primary focus on Wikipedia is anti-vandalism work, so rollback would naturally be useful for me. I have read WP:ROLLBACK and feel like I have a good grasp on detecting good/bad faith edits. (I'd certainly hope so, if I got this far.) Thanks for your consideration. ⫷doozy (talk▮contribs)⫸ 05:07, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
Rollback appears useful for various reverts in specific instances when a serious vandal has made a rapid-fire succession of edits which need to be reverted. I enjoy using RedWarn, but rollback itself is handy here also for the AntiVandal tool I see. I have made around 70,000 edits and feel I qualify as a good candidate for this permission.

Requesting rollback rights to help me fight vandalism and use tools such as AntiVandal. --pro-anti-air (talk) 05:38, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
I have made almost 6,000 edits to Wikipedia and have been reverting vandalism for a few years using Twinkle and UltraViolet. I am familiar with the guidelines and processes of reverting and rollbackers would be helpful. SKAG123 (talk) 01:19, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
I have over 500 mainspace edits without vanishing the articles. I am not the vanished user. I will not be blocked if I’m not vanishing the pages. In late 2023, I did revert a few articles that were vanished by the IPs. So, I will grant my Rollback right soon. Thomasfan1916 (talk) 04:31, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to request rollback rights to support my anti-vandalism work. I have been actively patrolling recent changes and reviewing edits for potential vandalism, often using filters and tools like ORES. I’ve been reverting obvious vandalism manually and warning users where appropriate. I’m interested in increasing my efficiency with tools like Huggle and STiki, which require rollback rights. I understand the responsibilities of the rollback tool and will use it only for clear-cut vandalism or disruptive edits, not content disputes. Thank you for considering my request. Dahawk04 (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
I will request my rollbacker rights, so I can use AntiVandal tool. I've most frequently used Twinkle on my Gadgets since I'm autoconfirmed. After they reverted my edits for not following WP:MOS guideline, as well as vandalism. Absolutiva (talk) 21:33, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
I have experience in reverting vandalism with Twinkle and would like to access the Huggle tool to continue this work. Thank you. Magic Fizz (talk) 04:27, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
I was trying to revert a vandalism edit, but the disruptive editor had done multiple, making it harder for me to revert it. It would have been helpful to have rollback rights so I could undo it fully and quickly. Floating Orb (talk) 20:11, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to request rollback rights to more efficiently combat vandalism using advanced tools such as Huggle or AntiVandal. I'd like to believe that I always AGF when patrolling RC and I always leave an appropriate notice on users' talk page when reverting. Thank you for your time.
