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:

Place requests for new or upgrading of article protection, upload protection, or create protection at the BOTTOM of this section. Check the archive of fulfilled and denied requests or, failing that, the page history if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: New user EvandorX created on 16 January, who has only edited this page, is performing large changes to improve the bio and tone down a very long list of (recent) allegations of scientific misconduct (despite their edits, the allegations appear serious and have not been justified I believe). Some of the edits are fine I think, others less. Lots of reverting happening and typos they keep adding back. Happy not have access anymore as IP user as long as more experienced editors can have a look and ensure useful information stays there. Generally not very convinced that this page meets NPOV either, but that's another issue. 81.109.86.251 (talk) 21:43, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

Long story short, ever since Trump's "official" inaugural photo was released, there has been a plethora of users attempting to get it replaced/added on many pages - the most prevalent being his page, for obvious reasons. The issue is that there is no evidence whatsoever this image is a free image, and there is actually evidence that the image is non-free (either copyrighted, or barred by a NC restriction). See, for example, the current deletion request on Commons. For historical reference, this also happened in 2017 - Trump "hijacked" a private photographer's image (including posting it on whitehouse.gov claiming it was public domain after his inauguration) without their permission, and the photographer confirmed to VRT/OTRS on Commons (confirmed by multiple VRT members in that discussion in 2017) that they never permitted such. It seems likely that the same is happening here, as a user on Commons has claimed that they spoke to the photographer who wants a NC restriction on this image.Sorry for the length of this request, but TLDR: there's tons of talk page spam (edit requests or otherwise) from mostly IP editors trying to get this almost-certainly-copyrighted image replaced in his page. I know talkpages are rarely protected, but I'm requesting temporary (maybe a week, to cover the inauguration itself) semiprotection of the talkpage to see if it may help. Any alternative ideas are welcome on the talkpage itself. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 02:36, 17 January 2025 (UTC)Reason: The page protection for the article just expired few hours ago, and it appears the sockpuppeteer behind two recently blocked accounts, is restoring their unreferenced edits once again.

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 would like to request auto-patrolled rights on Wikipedia. I have been actively contributing to the project and have created more than 30 of articles to date, which adhere to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I believe my experience and attention to detail make me a good fit for this role. Granting me auto-patrolled rights would help reduce the workload on other patrollers by automatically marking my new pages as reviewed. Please feel free to review my contributions and articles to ensure they meet the necessary standards. Let me know if any additional information is required. Thank you for considering my request! Needforname (talk) 17:39, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Ahola .O (talk) 22:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC) I am requesting the autopatrolled user right because I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia and believe that my experience and adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines make me a suitable candidate for this right, I have created over 25 articles, all of which comply with Wikipedia's notability guidelines and content policies. My contributions have consistently aimed to enhance the quality and reliability of the encyclopedia. I believe that granting me the autopatrolled user right will help reduce the workload of new page patrollers and allow me to continue contributing to Wikipedia more efficiently. Thank you for considering my request. Ahola .O (talk)
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)
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights - I had it in the past and honestly didn’t realise it was missing until I did a requested move today and the DAB I created had to get manually patrolled. Could I please have this back so as to not add work to others when I’m doing moves related work?

Page mover[edit]
Have participated in handful of RMs in past year, as well as at MRV. I've only come to RMTR once, but otherwise would be useful for disambiguation purposes. As I often create the disambig first, in order to justify a page moving away from ptopic; this often leaves me with having to swap the disambig page with the redirect and visa versa afterwards, when I simply need to perform a swap. I've otherwise closed RMs before, and would probably close more that aren't too controversial, but am often restricted due to the need to overwrite a redirect. CNC (talk) 12:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
I've been requesting occasional, regular and errant page moves at RMTR ever since I either created this account or achieved the extended-confirmed threshold. After 30 months of existence and persistence and in this new year, I'm ready to take the next step and have this right for a start as I can have an impact on this encyclopaedia. Intrisit (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Over time, I have made numerous move proposals on talk pages. Sometimes I don't get a reply from other editors and I bring it to WP:RM/TR. Other times, an administrator notices the proposal and implements it. Some of these could probably have been undiscussed bold moves and not required discussion at all. All of them are impossible without the page mover permission because they would overwrite a redirect. I'd rather save y'all the trouble of reviewing and do them myself. I've made 269 page moves and 22 edits at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. I was granted this permission once before, but it expired. Daask (talk) 21:30, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

I have lots of experience in the WP:TW scale of reverting edits, and wish to continue this through WP:PENDING BryceM2001 (talk) 20:40, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
I'd like to request pending changes review rights because I am familiar with the policy and this would help me with my vandalism patrols. Furthermore, I am currently trying to accept a request, but I do not have the permissions. Thanks! Ali Beary (talk2me!) (stalk me?!) 13:29, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I've been active in the Wikipedia community adding new content and creating articles, but especially fighting vandalism. I have also gained experience in reviewing by looking and reviewing semi-protected and protected pages edit requests. I am now looking for a new challenge, and I think I could help by putting forth my skills for the pending changes reviewer role! Thanks for the consideration.TYPEINFO (talk) 06:36, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
My sole purpose of editing or the desire to review edits is for the wellbeing of Wikipedia. I made a few pages and made 1300+ edits. I believe in quality not quantity. TrueMoriarty (talk) 17:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]
Hello everyone. I would like to request rollback rights here. I have a long and controversial history on the English Wikipedia but hope that especially in recent years, I have proved as to other editors, as well to the administrators, a positive change in my editorial behavior. I myself, don't forgive and don't forget my mistakes, but believe that with my experience and knowledge on the Macedonian issue, I will be useful in the fight against vandalism in this complicated question. Even though I'm worried, I remember Matthew 7:7-8: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Thanks. Jingiby (talk) 09:01, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
I am requesting rollback rights for the ability to use a tool-assisted diff viewer, either huggle or meta:SWViewer. I have a lot of experience doing recent changes patrolling and fighting vandals and am interested in doing so with the semi-automated tools available. I have read the policy for using rollback and always warn users when reverting their edits. cyberdog958Talk 10:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I've been editing Wikipedia for about a year, with more active contributions over the past 5-6 months. i edited over 1000 edits and made some pages as well. During this time, I've frequently reverted vandalism and unconstructive edits and have become familiar with handling such challenges. While I’m still learning some aspects of Wikipedia policies, I feel that rollback rights would help me revert vandalism and const. edits more efficiently, especially when i have to do repeated cases. I’m committed to using these rights responsibly to maintain the quality of Wikipedia. Much Regards. Callmehelper (talk) 03:26, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi! I've been editing for half an year (less than others I know) and have amassed a total of 1600 edits, with about half of those being in mainspace. I have patrolled recent changes for a while, and have been adequately warning users since I learned about Twinkle. Note that the block I have received was a self-block to study for finals. I want rollback permissions in order to use tools such as Huggle effectively. Wildfireupdateman :) (talk) 20:12, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello. I am requesting this permission in order to fight vandalism in a faster and more efficient manner, when I encounter it in my work here (with this being one of the worst examples I've seen so far). If granted, I intend to use it responsibly (and just occasionally – when needed), in the same way as I am using other permissions that were granted to me so far. Of course, I am aware that this tool is supposed to be used, basically, just to target vandalism – not at all in content disputes, etc. As for my experience, I have been around for almost 15 years, with c. 150,000 edits. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 16:01, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
Template editor[edit]
Hello, Recently, I went on vacation, which has given me more time to dedicate to Wikipedia. During this period, I noticed some issues with the Dark mode theme. Inspired by user @Synpath, who took the initiative to propose changes to the Drugbox template, I began working on fixing dark mode compatibility in other templates. Specifically, I have contributed to improving Template:Annotated image 4, Template:Enzymatic reaction, and Template:Biochem reaction subunit. In 2019, I created a Lua module for the Portuguese Wikipedia to assist editors in finding articles without citations. This tool categorizes articles by the month and year the tag was added and allows sorting by pageviews. You can view the module and the associated template. I mention this to demonstrate my ability to work with modules if needed, although I currently do not intend to work on modules. The primary reason for this request is to be able to contribute more actively to the Drugbox and Chembox templates. I have previously participated in discussions to update the Brazilian drug legal status parameter in them (see: Template talk:Infobox drug/Archive 19#Legal status in Brazil - Add subclasses F1, F2 and F3 and Template talk:Chembox/Archive 13#Template-protected edit request on 15 August 2023). I am also contemplating starting a project, potentially under the umbrella of Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology, to expand the "legal status" parameter to include additional countries, particularly China and India. This expansion would aim to improve greater understanding of how different countries regulate and culturally perceive various substances. Thanks! -- Arthurfragoso (talk) 17:51, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
