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:

Autopatrolled[edit]
I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have created over 30 articles, none of which have been deleted. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's notability guidelines and currently assist new Burmese editors. I focus on creating articles related to Myanmar that need to be written, including those covering current events. Granting me autopatrolled rights would help reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Hteiktinhein (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Hallo! I've created 46 articles, and have been editing Wikipedia since 2010. How time flies! merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I have created 118 pages and would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks. Phantomdj (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
I am autopatrolled and a trial NPP reviewer nominating Butters.From.SouthPark to be autopatrolled. The 524th editor by article creations (1435 live), this user's extensive work on articles of American football, basketball, and baseball players is highly appreciated. All ten of their most recent article creations and eight articles that I have drawn at random all demonstrate WP:ATHLETE/WP:NSEASONS notability and follow WP:BLP policy. In the seven instances of their pages created being deleted, two were later recreated, one was effectively recreated at Andre Jones Jr. after WP:G8 deletion, and two were deleted under WP:G7. Though I agree with Liz for PRODing Clemson–Ohio State football rivalry over low notability as a distinct topic, the Dayton Daily News has recognized that all four match-ups of this pair were significant (link). Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kai Jurgle is the only instance of article creation that clearly failed WP:GNG, but that can be forgiven for occurring within their first month here. They have no AfD participation to assess their judgement of others' content, but since this permission only affects the supervision of their creations, that seems fine.

Hello, I have started 300+ pages and have been editing for over three and a half years consistently. Early on, I struggled with notability, but I have since demonstrated an understanding for the notability guidelines. I would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks, Bulldawg (talk) 06:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
I have created a large number of articles, all without any significant issues. Another user proposed on my talk page that I request to be Autopatrolled. Throughthemind (talk) 15:10, 20 May 2025 (UTC) There are no outstanding requests for the confirmed flag.
File mover[edit]
Hi! I've been doing a lot of file namespace work lately, and I've been doing a lot of multipart uploads ever since phab:T364644 got fixed for English Wikipedia, but occasionally I run into random server errors that leave the upload to a specific filename locked for some period of time. The only practical workarounds are to wait until the lock expires or retry under another filename and request a move, both of which leave me blocked for a while. I'd like to request file mover access so I can handle these cases myself, as a basic WP:FNC#1 move. hinnk (talk) 01:35, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
Page mover[edit]
There are some categories that might warrant moving that I cannot currently without this permission. For tangentially related details, I have a 98.9% AfD match rate, have made 63,500+ edits, and have been editing for a couple years now and am familiar with the page move policy and guidelines. Iljhgtn (talk) 20:15, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Good day, When reviewing pages, I frequently encounter situations such that this permission would be useful or necessary. These include redirect suppression when draftifying to reduce the number of R2s needed and the ability to move pages over single-revision redirects when accepting AFC drafts, which can occasionally present a barrier. I would also like to help with uncontroversial category and technical moves. I meet the WP:PMCRITERIA and believe I have a demonstrated both a need for the permissions and an understanding of the associated guidelines. Garsh (talk) 17:55, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
I've found myself making semi-regular requests at WP:RM/TR (7 in the last two years, 13 overall). I feel like this is one of the things I could just handle myself instead of bothering others with, and could potentially help out with as I see fit. I don't currently plan on closing any RM discussions, but I am very familiar with WP:NCTV, which is my main topic area, that I rarely branch out out of, and the general policy laid out at WP:NC.

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hello! I am requesting the pending changes reviewer right to help the project. I have read through all the relevant policys and have been patroling recent changes for a while now. If you have any questions feel free to ask me. Please ping me to notify me of comments or a decision here. Macaw* 17:59, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
I would like to be granted the pending changes reviewer rights to combat potential vandalism. Scoria (talk) 13:32, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello i would love to request pending changes reviewer to help reduce the pending changes backlog. Destinyokhiria (talk) 03:14, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: To expand my tool belt as an extended confirmed recent changes patroller, and to more quickly afford new users their non policy breaking contribution. I have currently no sanctions against me and I think I understand wiki policy well enough for it. Thank you JamesEMonroe (talk) 20:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC) (Post edit) When using this perm, I will take extra care. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. Also please consider older reverts as well or when I took the time to explain things to new users. JamesEMonroe (talk) 21:27, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
I am requesting this right so that I can more easily revert vandalism. If you have looked at my user page, one of the main things I do is revert vandalism. This right, while not making it easier to do so, would give me a different way to do so. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. My account is pretty new, but that is because I just got back into editing Wikipedia. I had an account when I lived in Chicago that had over a year experience. I could not longer access that account because I have forgotten the username and password. Again, I think this would be a good opportunity for me to do something I love in a different way. Whatever your decision is, thank you for considering. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 20:12, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
Reason for requesting rollback rights. Have undone multiple vandalism attempts on K. Chandrashekar Rao and Revanth Reddy. Having the rollback permission will be helpful to quickly revert multiple edits. Skratata69 (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I will love to request for the rollback permission so I can help fight against vandalism and revert unconstructive edits, I’m also interested to use the wp:ANVDL tool to detect vandalism more easily. I believe meet the requirements and I took the feedbacks after my last request was declined over the last 1 month, I’ve been actively patrolling recent changes since then and I’m here again. Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 06:47, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
Hey there :3 I'm looking for rollback perms so I can speed up my vandal reversion by using tools such as huggle. I don't have any issues with RedWarn but my more experienced friends tell me that huggle is much nicer and faster to use. (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 00:05, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I need rollback rights to revert vandalism. I have reverted some vandalism attempts. - PunjabiEditor69 (talk) 11:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
I wish to receive rollback rights to use Wikipedia:Huggle, Wikipedia:AntiVandal and some others, with this permission I could revert vandalism so much faster. Shahin (talk) 10:08, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
I respectfully request the rollback right to enhance my anti-vandalism efforts on Wikipedia. My monitoring of recent changes has enabled me to effectively identify and revert disruptive edits. The rollback feature would increase the efficiency of my contributions and help maintain content integrity. I understand the responsibilities of this privilege and will adhere strictly to Wikipedia's guidelines. VeritasVanguard☎ 13:51, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
