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:

Reason: Donald Trump will take office as President of the United States. I fear that this article will be distorted in a manner that favors him and his followers.

Autopatrolled[edit]
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Hi, I would like to request this right because I have met the criteria for 25 articles that are free of problems. I would like to use it for my interest in WikiProject Korea. You can see all of articles i've created here! :) Aidillia(talk) 07:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Meets the minimum criteria, and the majority of their creations have passed a quality content review. It's been a little bit since the last creation, but I believe this editor has demonstrated enough familiarity with the policies and guidelines surrounding new articles that input from NPP will not be needed in the future. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Confirmed[edit]
I'm requesting that RickRolled7676 be made confirmed. They are attempting to make productive edits, but they are running into an abuse filter, and being added to this group would help. See also Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives/Reports#RickRolled7676. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:11, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Hello, dear adminstrators! I did not contribute Wikipedia that much yet. But I can promise something. I'm turkmen and turkmen Wikipedia is not that much rich yet. And I want to add more articles and improve the ones that has been already created already as much as I can. Thanks for reading this. Hudaýberenow (talk) 17:41, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
File mover[edit]
Hello, I primarily work with files on Wikimedia Commons, where I have file mover and autopatrol rights. The process of file moving on English Wikipedia is almost the same as the practices on Commons. I also have experience working on files on English Wikipedia, including submitting several rename requests. Moreover, I have file mover rights on Bengali Wikipedia, further demonstrating my familiarity with file management across Wikimedia projects. I am familiar with Wikipedia:File names and request this right to enhance my work. Thanks.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 05:15, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
I’m returning and previously held this role as part of my work to move images to Commons. Could I have this restored, please? Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 18:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
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 previously completed many XFD discussions as a non-admin which resulted in the use of this user right for round robin deletions, and have shown good use of it before. I understand it’s been a while since I’ve been back, so wondering if this can be restored as I intend to complete this work again. Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 18:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I find myself not infrequently asking at RM/TR to move drafts over existing redirects with bits of history; I'd appreciate being able to do that myself. I also like taking in part in RMs and would like to be able to help with more than just the easiest closes. Thanks. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I request Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in reviewing edits. I have experience with editing and want to help maintain the quality of articles. Gwanki (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Recently, i've been reverting vandalism and disruptive edits on Wikipedia with Twinkle and Ultraviolet, and as an extended-confirmed user, I have over 850 edits. I also revert good faith edits, and if I get this request accepted I will be able to reject vandalism put on pending changes (on pending changes). 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 22:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Requesting Pending Changes reviewer permission - I am active editor for quite some time now and recently saw an alert for January New Page patrol backlog drive. I want to contribute to that, but thought I can start with Pending change reviewer first. I have a good understanding of wiki policies, and am continuing to familiarize myself with them. I have also read Wikipedia:Reviewing_pending_changes#Criteria_to_receive_this_permission and understand expectations for both gaining the rights and performing the pending changes. Asteramellus (talk) 12:24, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I've been editing wikipedia semi-actively when real life allows for almost 3 years and recently surpassed 1000 edits. I have fully read and understood everything linked at WP:PCCRITERIA. The main reason I think I am suited to having pending changes reviewer rights is because of my current project to clean up the backlog at CAT:ESP, CAT:EEP and in the future CAT:COIREQ. The work between those and proposed changed reviewing is very similar and would allow me to help there as well. Ultraodan (talk) 11:01, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
I was granted right for 60 days now I would like to renew it. Mithilanchalputra(Talk) 08:36, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Have been a part of Wikipedia for a while now, usually contributing with proofreading, rewriting for clarity, updating data, removing inaccurate data, etc. With most of my contributions being of an editing nature (rather than creating something new), I think that being able to approve pending edits from others would allow me to contribute more. ArtistPrime (talk) 15:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
I am aware the Reviewing process for Pending Changes. I might help to reduce load. Good Faith. Bakhtar40 (talk) 11:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
As someone who frequently edits and creates U.S. state legislature pages and living biographies, I strongly believe that receiving this permission will allow me to help combat vandalism, especially as the wikis of living people are often vandalized. I am 100% aware of being able to revert vandalized edits -- however, some edits are genuine, and I would love to help out in that domain of expertise. WormEater13 (talk) 14:04, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
I had "pending change" privileges, but for some reason they are gone. I think I had to request to renew them but I did not realize. I apologize. I have been focused on doing other things on Wikipedia, such as cleaning up article categorization, but I would like to start using the "pending review" privilege if possible. I make daily edits to all types of Wikipedia pages and am familiar with the style guide. My ideas for things aren't always popular but I respect when conversations happen that challenge my edits because that's how Wikipedia becomes a better place. I always assume good faith, but I also understand that not everyone possesses that. Thank you. BittersweetParadox (talk) 08:13, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
I am requesting this to assist with reviewing edits. I am fairly active on this platform and occasionally handle edit requests. I have made significant contributions to articles, including List of things named after Julius Caesar, which I have nominated for FL. I have also participated in some AFDs and believe that I am eligible for this. The AP (talk) 10:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
As a relatively new Wikipedia editor, I quickly grasped the core principles and ideology of the encyclopedia. With over 500 edits and several articles created, I have made steady progress, and at my current editing rate, I project to reach 30,000+ edits by the end of 2025. The Pending Changes Reviewer privilege would provide me an opportunity to my broaden efforts against page vandalism and ensure accurate, stable, and reliable content. I sincerely appreciate rejections or acceptance given my understanding, however, please endeavor to leave any explanation if you deem it fit to reject. Cameremote (talk) I came from a remote place 15:29, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
I edit mostly in academic philosophy and closely adjacent areas. Twinkle is adequate for the vandalism that I encounter in articles on my watchlist. I read Wikipedia more broadly, however, and might be more active in assisting with general anti-vandalism efforts with the help of tools such as Huggle that make this easier to do, but which require rollback privileges to use (this would be the case especially if any of them make it easier to do in a responsible way on a tablet, rather than at the desktop I use for regular editing). I've been bitten as a newbie, and am alert lest I do this to anyone else. Wikipedia's coverage of the humanities is, to put it generously, uneven. On the few occasions I've encountered someone new with obvious subject-matter expertise who is making problematic, but good-faith edits, I have made a deliberate effort to welcome them, offer information, and protect them from more aggressive defenders of guidelines and policies (who might turn them off Wikipedia before they even have a chance to learn the basics, which are in some ways quite at odds with academic norms). This is just to say that I will, of course, use manual reverts with edit descriptions and talk pages, rather than rollback or anything requiring it, except in cases of blatant vandalism or persistent abuse by editors who disregard clear and polite notices of issues with their edits. Thank you for your consideration, Patrick (talk) 03:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
I have been patrolling the recent changes page for a long time now, and it's pretty much the only thing I do on here (other then occasional copyediting.) When I learned about rollback and its benefits, I thought that could be a huge help for me and patrolling against vandalism. I love patrolling, and this will make my life so much easier.

Hi there. I was an admin for years but lot my bit through inactivity. I do a fair bit of anti-vandalism work and regaining this right would save me a few clicks. John (talk) 13:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Previously I held rollback before my departure as part of my anti-vandalism work, so hoping for this to be restored. Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 18:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Template editor[edit]
Hi there, I had the user right previously (see my user rights log. I’m back to Wikipedia so hoping to have this right restored, my return was prompted by a TFD and I’d like to make sure it’s not in use and modify the source template if required (if some of my other user rights could be restored at the same time that’d be appreciated).
