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.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level edit

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
    Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    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
    Shortcut

    Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

    I recently noticed this user, Princess of Ara. An editor who works mainly on Nigerian related articles and others. While trying to appreciate the user's effort, I got in love with the lovely articles, well sources, written from a volunteer in good faith and now, I am requesting that she be granted the auto patrol user right. It'll also help reduce heavy backlog of NPP. Thanks for your consideration! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

    User:Prince of Erebor edit

    I have created 76 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. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Crisco 1492 edit

    Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights: I have north of 600 articles created, including several dozen FAs. I intend to come out of retirement, and given the backlogs it may be easier to bring back my autopatrolled rights.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:23, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Xoak edit

    I'm an AFC reviewer, ardent contributor to Women In Red (most of my articles are on women) and biological topics. Xtools shows I have 57 live articles, however as far as I can recall, I've created at least 2 articles from redirects. [note that out of the 4 deleted articles, 3 were self delete]. I've 5 passed DYKs and 1 GA so far. I hate stubs and do everything on my part to at least create a C or a bare minimum Start.

    It'll be nice to have this right, as it'd reduce the backlog. One self-criticism I'd do here is at times I do not categorize pages myself and leave it for others. But I try to categorize some of the time, and I'll make sure I do not leave any pages I create from here on uncategorized. I've had a few warnings about copyvio, though they were a case of WP:LIMITED and once a case of accidental copy-paste. Nonetheless, I've been very careful ever since and will be perpetually.

    I'm courtesy pinging administrator @Ipigott as they're somewhat familiar with my work, and we had some delightful interactions.

    It's okay if you feel I should not be given this right as yet. Regards. X (talk) 20:29, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

     Not done I've had a look and you aren't too far off. Apart from categorisation, the other obvious flaw is not defining DEFAULTSORT (please look up why that's important or what it is). I've taken your very latest article and made it "perfect" from a Manual of Style perspective, all in single steps so that you can see what else you could improve on. I hope that's useful. Please go back to your bios and define DEFAULTSORT where other editors haven't done that for you in the meantime. I'd say come back once you've written another half dozen articles, say, and I or someone else will have another look. If you have questions about any of those edits referred to above, please get in touch (via my talk page or an article's talk page; not here). Schwede66 23:48, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Kung Fu Man edit

    Requesting page mover rights for my frequent work on video game character articles, many of which involve writing up an article on a userpage to later move to where a previous redirect may exist and working alongside other editors towards this end. Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

     Not done, as I'm not seeing any need. If someone writes a new article in their userspace, and they're the only editor, they can simply copy/paste their content into any existing redirect or article. Prime example is the nonsense happening around Locke Cole/User:Cukie Gherkin/Locke Cole. If you find yourself making a number of RM/TR requests for pages that don't fit this bill (which I see none of to date) there might be more of an argument for granting. Primefac (talk) 11:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:WiinterU edit

    I would like to have page moving rights because of many company articles with incorrect article names with their correct names being the redirects. WiinterU 00:24, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

     Not done per lack of demonstrated need; no RM/TR requests, very little RM participation, and none of the moves you have made seem to indicate that suppression of a redirect or a round-robin page move were necessary. Primefac (talk) 11:48, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Remsense edit

    1. I often move articles in a space (China and Chinese-related topics) where there are specific naming conventions that are uncontroversial moves, sometimes requiring #delete-redirect.
    2. I often move pages around in my userspace, and #suppress-redirect would perhaps clutter the U1 log less. Remsense诉 23:12, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Sunnyboi18 edit

    Hello, I'am applying again for Pending Changes Reviewer, as it was felt by a person who reviewed this that my request was "all over the place" and that "I didn't understand that PC rights are". I don't think that's fair.

    I was simply just giving my experience and of having done 632 edits on Wiki involving mostly updating critical information, having been an Editor since Feburary 2021, and being familiar with Wiki Guidelines & Copyright and understanding the importance of making sure the info on Wiki is correct, and preventing Vandalism. And other requests saying that exact same stuff were approved, so not sure what to say but, I'am aware of the importance and privliege of this permission, and would like my request to be considered fairly, as it did not feel like that was the case the first time, based on the response that I got. Sunnyboi18 (talk) 14:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

     Automated comment This user has had 1 request for pending changes reviewer declined in the past 90 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 14:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    I'm sorry you think my decline of your request was unfair, I did read it, and I gave my honest impression of it. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 22:43, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
    Well, you're "honest impression" was more of a commentary on me personally rather than my experience and work I've done. So once again, it does not seem like this is being processed in a fair and unbiased manner. Especially when requests have been approved with very little language in them with regard to their background or experience, or with the same amount of/less edits as myself. Sunnyboi18 (talk) 09:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
    I'm leaving this open for another, previously uninvolved admin to review, I was just explaining myself. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 18:24, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
     Not done. In reviewing your edit history, it doesn't look like you're actually active in anti vandalism efforts. For example, you've only undone an edit 3 times, and each of those times was undoing your own edit. You also only have 7 user talk page edits, all of which are to your own talk page. Typically for someone involved in anti vandalism we'd expect more undo actions and some warnings posted on other user's talk pages. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm requesting the pending changes reviewer permission to assist in catching vandalism on articles under pending changes protection. Nigel757 (talk) 02:00, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

    Hello! I revert vandalism quite frequently and I would like rollback rights so I can use the AntiVandal tool to make the process faster. CGP05 (talk) 02:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

    I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 06:05, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
    Sorry about that. I try to warn the majority of editors that vandalize. I will ensure that I warn every time from now on. CGP05 (talk) 13:45, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
    Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. I note that again, you've failed to notify an editor post revert even after you promised to do so yesterday. Anyways, upon further review, I'm not seeing enough consistent counter-vandalism work to determine whether you'll be able to use the tool appropriately. I also see that you've made a total of zero reports to AIV, which is an important stop for any serious counter-vandalism patroller. Please review my feedback, and if you're still interested in the tool, then please spend at least a month actively patrolling before reapplying. As such, closing as  Not done -Fastily 06:01, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
    Thank you a lot for the feedback and I will take it into account before reapplying. CGP05 (talk) 19:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

      Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

      It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

      This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.
