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

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on 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

    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.

If the reasoning is that it was dubbed into Tamil, then almost all of the movies on this list need to have their dubbed languages listed. Srikarmuraki (talk) 05:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

    Autopatrolled

    [edit]

    I've seen this editor's work on multiple occasions at New Page Review. Has created 208 pages, none deleted, more than 3/4 of them B-class. High-quality page creation with infoboxes, quality references with proper formatting, images, etc., requiring no cleanup by reviewers. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

    I'm concerned that many of the articles on lifeboat stations don't meet GNG. After looking at a random sampling of them, most of them cite the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society (of which Martin states they are a member of on their talk page), which appears to be an WP:SPS, and The Lifeboat, a publication of the RNLI, which is not an independent source. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
    @Voorts I would have thought the same thing when I first encountered these articles, but there are several independent published sources on these lifesaving stations. Whenever I've done a BEFORE search on one, I always find GNG-qualifying sourcing. This came up in an AfD for one of Ojsyork's creations last year (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bamburgh Castle Lifeboat Station), which resulted in a "keep". Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:21, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

    Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights I have created almost 50 articles and whilst producing these articles I have developed my understanding of wikipedia policies, conformed with the rules for biographies of living persons and have improved the content and formatting of numerous articles. SDGB1217 (talk) 14:46, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

    Hello, I have created 75+ articles, since I got autopatrolled mostly focusing on television series.

    Could you please point to where the date of birth of Gautam Vig is referenced, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
    Hi @Schwede66, I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I have sourced the DOB in the early life section as per WP:INFOBOXREF. I followed the editing style of Geniac, the way he improved Sheezan Khan and tried adapting the same. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
    Thanks, I had a fab wee holiday. I don't understand your answer. I see that there is one ref in the infobox, and that reference does confirm the date of birth, but it is attached to the spouse only. Could you please explain what you mean, and how the referencing confirms the date of birth, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
    Schwede66 In the above mentioned article I have sourced the date of birth in the Early life section, see here. And the spouse's source is just about their marriage. I'm following the editing style of Geniac, the improvement he did in one of my previously created article see here. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
    Sorry, which reference states the date of Vig's date of birth? I cannot see it. Schwede66 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
    Schwede66, I have used two sources for DOB, Colors TV and India Today. You can find both the sources in the Early life section. Hope it helps, if you still can't verify the birth date, you're most welcome to remove it. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
    @C1K98V Is it just me or the webpage you're linking to from colorstv.com is redirecting to a /mena/ directory making it impossible to see what you're talking about or citing. As for the indiatoday.in, you did not initially position the citation as of when Schwede66 started reviewing your request, you only repositioned the citation today. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
    Hi Vanderwaalforces, I'm not sure if the Colorstv website works outside of India. Let's wait for Schwede66 to confirm if they're able to verify it. I'm sharing a screenshot of the website for reference [1]. While searching for sources related to their academics, I found IndiaToday and added it later in the Early life section. I repositioned the named citation as I wanted to highlight it for Schwede66, so I left an edit summary too. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 03:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
    (Non-administrator comment) I can access the colorstv source and confirm that it mentions Gautam Vig's date of birth. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

    The editor has written 176 articles, with only two being deleted. Their work is well-researched, notable, and meets the encyclopedic standards. Given their track record, I believe they can be trusted to patrol their own articles. Garuda Talk! 13:02, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

     Done I don't understand why this request was made. The user is not as active anymore on enwiki, I don't see them being a particular burden to enwiki patrollers. However, the articles look okay and they have a good track record so granting AP regardless. Sohom (talk) 14:30, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

    It is my 8th year of editing (4th with this account). I have written a number of articles of various types and none have been permanently deleted. I have made mistakes, but understand what they were and how to avoid them. About to publish many geography stubs (manually written, differing in content, not violating MASSCREATE - see Ledenice and Zapeć for examples). Ivan (talk) 17:48, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

    Page mover

    [edit]

    I have been a regular contributor to both the Turkish and English Wikipedia for many years. Based on the experience I have gained throughout this period, I aim to make more high-quality and sustainable contributions. I am particularly interested in articles related to transportation and believe that these articles require regular monitoring. My primary objectives include updating incorrect or incomplete content, performing page moves when necessary, and ensuring that these articles comply with Wikipedia standards. In this context, I am requesting the "page mover" right to address content deficiencies and errors while also helping to reduce the workload of other administrators.

    @Ahecht just curious, would you object to a grant here? If so this should be declined for now. Otherwise I'd consider granting since PCR is a pretty newbie-friendly permission. Elli (talk | contribs) 17:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

    Rollback

    [edit]

    I am requesting rollback rights because I spend most of my time on Wikipedia reverting vandalism, and I would like to help fight vandals more effectively. I have made some mistakes, but I mostly have a good understanding of Wikipedia policies, and I try to always WP:AGF. Rollback will also allow me to use tools like AntiVandal. Thank you. Protobowladdict (talk) 16:51, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

    I would like to request rollback permission to help combat vandalism, particularly in Nepal-related articles, which I frequently come across while patrolling recent changes. Having rollback rights would allow me to efficiently revert obvious and disruptive edits, improving the quality of affected pages. I always assume good faith and am careful when reviewing edits. If I am uncertain whether an edit is vandalism, I do not revert it. I am also familiar with Wikipedia’s warning templates and know when it is appropriate to report persistent vandals to WP:AIV. I believe rollback will be a valuable tool in my efforts to maintain Wikipedia’s integrity, and I will use it responsibly. Thank you for your time and consideration. Rahmatula786 (talk) 15:49, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

    I'm requesting this right to revert vandalism from the all the articles on Wikipedia, especially India related articles. I'm also patrolling recent changes from when I started i.e. almost a month. Please remember to ping me if done Xiphoid Vigour ༈Duel༈ 05:53, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

    I have been actively combating vandalism on Wikipedia for some time, especially Taiwan related articles. I regularly monitor recent changes and undo obvious vandalism while ensuring that good-faith edits are not mistakenly removed. Having rollback rights would allow me to revert vandalism more efficiently, especially on high-traffic pages. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies on vandalism, edit warring, and proper rollback usage, and I will use the tool responsibly to help maintain the integrity of the encyclopedia. Heeheemalu (talk) 12:57, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

    Hi, I would like to request rollback rights as I have been patrolling on Wikipedia for a while, finding vandals, and I would like to have the ability to use rollback to revert their edits more effectively (as I have had a couple where I had to undo lots of small edits and it took up lots of my time). Thanks, ScrabbleTiles (talk) 16:01, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

     Automated comment This user has 76 edits in the mainspace. MusikBot talk 18:00, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
     Not done Hello User:ScrabbleTiles. Usually, we expect users to have at least 200 edits to mainspace. I would like to see you understand warnings a bit better for isntance before giving rollback. At User talk:OKTO on 6, you have a level-1 warning and only warning in rapid succession. Of course, a second warning can't be an only warning, so a level-2 warning would have been more appropriate (or none, as they may not have noticed the first warning immediately). In the meantime, you can already install WP:Twinkle to combat vandalism more effectively. You're on the right track, so feel free to come back in a few weeks when you've hit the threshold. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:13, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
    Ok, thanks for that. I went straight to 4 because their edits were very disruptive and I didn’t see any constructive edit coming from them but in the future, I will be more forgiving. I will request again once I have reached the threshold. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 19:17, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
    @ScrabbleTiles: just so you know, there is a difference between level 4 last warning and only warning. Assuming level 4 was correct, this situation called for a final warning instead —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

    I've been involved in combatting low-intensity disruption and vandalism for a while. I've recently encountered an increased level of sustained socks, LTAs, and contentious topic disruption. Having rollback would be just another tool in the toolkit, as I've enjoyed the luxury of Twinkle for a couple years. An even more streamlined approach to combatting disruption is always nice, though. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:03, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

     Done —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:06, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

    I'm requesting rollback to help me revert vandalism better. I've been using Twinkle for a while now, but in a few cases the proper rollback toll would have been more useful. I think I only revert blatant vandalism, as I prefer accuracy over volume. Mainly, it would be another tool in the kit. LightlySeared (talk) 10:04, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

    Template editor

    [edit]

    I request that I be given a right as a template editor, to edit templates protected. Am sure my edits will be pleasant to everyone, I have a strong password as required. I promise to respect the guidelines on editing templates. You can revew templates I my self have created here... – Raph Williams65 (talkcontribs) 13:28, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

     Not done, you haven't met the guidelines for granting or demonstrated a need for this permission. The format in which you requested this also does not give me confidence that you will use the necessary level of care in, for example, checking a page's instructions (documentation in the case of a template) before editing. If there is a template you are unable to edit, please just use an edit request for now. SilverLocust 💬 13:46, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

    I have been working on creating and expanding articles related to baseball and softball teams, mainly from Latin America and Europe. Since these articles heavily rely on Module:Sports color, which is protected, to properly display team colors in infoboxes and other tables, I would like to request the rights to edit this protected module. I have requested several edits to this specific module in the past; however, I believe it would be more efficient if I could make these edits myself.

    In the past, I have created and worked on different modules and templates related to other topics that interest me, such as public transportation and other sports (e.g., Module:Adjacent stations/Mexico City Metro, Module:Adjacent stations/Prague Metro, Template:Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional, Template:Hiroshima Toyo Carp managers). If administrators would consider it appropriate, I am also open to a temporary grant of editing rights to continue improving these articles.

    I'm on the fence a little here; while there are non-trivial edit requests, there doesn't seem to be any indication that interests lie outwith a very small group of pages.
    The subpages of modules like Module:Sports color are just variables, any vandalism to the templates will only cause an error output, not propagate any serious harm to the main pages. I wonder if dropping the protection level of those supbages to ECP, similar to Module:Political party would be more effective since these types of modules seem to be heavily requested by folks wanting to update them. I speak personally here that not having the political party module protected has been a huge save of my time and effort as I only need to double-check new entries rather than spend ages answering edit requests.

      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.
