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:

Tacyarg (talk) 22:27, 18 March 2025 (UTC) Reason: Persistent, albeit relatively infrequent IP vandalism. Every edit except one for the past 13 years has either removed or added vandalism. As this is a disambiguation page, it is unlikely to attract good-faith IP editors, and one of its subjects makes this a long-term target. I believe an indef semi-protect would be extremely helpful and minimally disruptive.

Autopatrolled[edit]
Hello, I have created 75+ articles, since I got autopatrolled mostly focusing on television series. For transparency, I'm still working on the feedback received from @Schwede66 in my last request. And I intent to keep doing the good work. Thanks for your consideration. Wishing the community a prosperous new year. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 06:56, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Great editor, with high quality articles.Has written 32 live articles. Xiphoid Vigour ⚔Duel⚔ 15:22, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
I have created 65 articles which are live, I understand the Wikipedia notability and other standards. I do create the articles of great quality. Hence request you to kindly grant the autopatrolled right, as the articles which I have been created are in pending for review state from long time, which demotivates me from creating new articles. Now a days, I'm mostly creating articles on Indian Villages. I have an experience of 11 years in Wikipedia, My articles are featured in DYK and ITN section of Wikipedia main page. I have worked with some of the Wikipedia admins and gained the knowledge. Searching our article and finding our Wikipedia page in the first result kept me motivating to add new articles to Wikipedia. Thanks in Advance. —Naveen N Kadalaveni (talk) 17:25, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
I've created 37 articles main JP-related articles. Seven including Huwie Ishizaki appeared in DYK. (Though, I only discovered DYK later in July), Huwie Ishizaki is both WP:GAN and on queue in DYK (will release tomorrow when I'm writing this). None of my articles are deleted all of them are well-sourced. My earlier stuffs are a bit short (e.g. Shōgo Yasukawa, Yoshinobu Yamakawa) and the earlier pages I created are stubs (N56 highway (Philippines), Urdaneta–Dagupan Road). In total, 6 of my articles are stubs. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 12:41, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
36hourblock has created 106 articles in mainspace, none of which have been deleted. I have marked several of 36hourblock 's articles as reviewed through NPP; initially, I noticed some issues with NPOV, but since I discussed this issue with them, the creations have been more neutral in tone. I would grant AP personally, but I would like a second opinion. Please ping me if you find any issues. Thank you!

Hello, I would like to request Autopatrolled rights. I am actively involved in reviewing recent and pending changes. I have been undertaking AfC reviews since December 2024. Currently, I am awaiting the renewal of my NPR rights, which I was granted for two months in January 2025. My primary areas of interest include Sri Lanka, South Asia, law, politics, politicians and history, as reflected in my page creation history. I am aware of the current NPP backlog and would like to contribute by ensuring that the articles I create do not add to it. I will ensure that the articles I create will meet all page creation guidelines. Thank you. QEnigma talk 12:50, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
Appears to demonstrate understanding of the notability guidelines on a broad range of subjects, and my brief skim through their recent creations identified no major issues in other areas (though I would recommend that they also create associated talk pages). This editor has created a large number of articles in the last few months, and I don't believe NPP needs to work on scrutinizing their work any longer. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia, focusing primarily on religion-related articles. In my editing experience, I have frequently encountered situations where page-moving rights would be highly beneficial, especially in cases where inexperienced editors move well-established pages without following proper procedures, such as this one. I have considerable experience with the requested moves venue, move reviews, and closing move requests. My move logs reflect my familiarity with Wikipedia’s naming conventions and best practices. Thanks. –𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 00:13, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer[edit]

Hi! I edit Wikipedia quite frequently, particularly fighting against vandalism and I think that if I had this right, it would enable me to be a more helpful and better user. I would like to be able to confirm these requests as I think that it would just be another way for me to be helpful. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 10:40, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
I have been a active contributor to Wikipedia for quite a few months now, actively editing and creating articles related to Texas politicians. I'm also well aware about the Wikipedia policy on vandalism. I see a lot of requests on articles that I edit miscellaneously in my free time, however I don't have the permission.

I'm requesting Pending Changes Reviewer status so I can help speed up and decrease the number of pending changes to articles. I know the rules about vandalism, verifiability, editing guidelines, and everything else. Danoniinho (talk) 20:55, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to request **Pending Changes Reviewer** rights. I have been an active editor since December 2020, with **1,094 total edits** (945 live). In the past year, I have made **345 edits**, primarily contributing to content creation, sourcing, and maintenance. I have created **154 articles** (121 currently live), ensuring compliance with Wikipedia's content guidelines. I am familiar with **WP:VANDALISM, WP:BLP, WP:NPOV,** and other core policies. I aim to help review pending changes on semi-protected pages to ensure accuracy and reliability. Thank you for your time and consideration! bɑʁɑqoxodaraP (talk) 10:42, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
Hi. I'm Stranger43286. I has made 1000+ edits and reverted many vandalism. I also known Wikipedia's core policies (NPOV, WP:V and more). Pending changes reviewer rights might be helpful for me. RealStranger43286 (talk) 08:40, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I've been an active contributor to Wikipedia, focusing on improving article quality, maintaining neutrality, and adding reliable citations. I'm well versed in core policies (NPOV, Verifiability, NOR) and understand the importance of pending changes. As someone who values data integrity in open-access knowledge, I prioritize accuracy and well-sourced content. One of my objectives is to help keep Wikipedia factual and trustworthy. HerBauhaus (talk) 17:09, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
I'm patrolling PendingChanges and RecentChanges on a regular basis. I'd like to request pending changes review rights because I am familiar with the policies including (Verifiability, NPOV, BLP, OR, and also VAND - NOTVAND) and this right would help me to combat vandalism. I'm willing to help reduce the pending changes backlog. Ʀasteem Talk 04:44, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
I request permission to the user right, “Pending Changes Reviewer” for the intent that all articles head onto a smooth path to featured article. I will take this as an opportunity to nurture my Wiki-Knowledge and become an even more experienced editor. I hope that with this permission, I will be able to encourage and support new comers in their edits. I also have read and have familiarized myself with many of Wikipedia’s policy’s along with dedicating a large part of my time fighting vandalism twisted.

I'm increasingly involved in reviews for article maintenance and improvement purposes, and I believe this procedure would be a logical extension of that activity. Two things that appeal to me are the ability to protect articles from bad edits at an early stage, and from that the greater opportunities to combat disruption and vandalism. Happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Spartathenian (talk) 22:15, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello. Having edited for a while now, I am familiar with a fair number of Wikipedia policies. I have been reviewing RecentChanges, especially for vandalism, and would like to turn some attention as well to PendingChanges. Thank you for your consideration. Coining (talk) 03:32, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
I am requesting this permission because I occasionally stumble across good faith edits on pending changes protected articles while patrolling that I wish to approve. I have good experience distinguishing between good faith and bad faith edits, having 3 years experience as a recent changes patroller and recently have been granted rollback. Parksfan1955 (talk) 02:56, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
I have been editing for quite some time now, both on this account and, before being active here, on my IP address.
