Autopatrolled
New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
78 live articles, (64 of which is start class, 5 Cs, 8 Stubs). Only one was deleted which is from 2018. All of the articles are well-sourced. I think this user is good enough for Autopatrolled Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 04:14, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have created over 30 articles, none of which have been deleted. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's notability guidelines and currently assist new Burmese editors. I focus on creating articles related to Myanmar that need to be written, including those covering current events. Granting me autopatrolled rights would help reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.

Confirmed
Good day, As a new editor, I am eager to contribute by editing articles without distractions and addressing vandalism. However, due to the autoconfirmed status restriction, I am currently unable to access those pages. I would appreciate it if you could review my contributions to assess whether I am qualified to hold these rights. Thank you for your time and consideration. Arc Rev (talk) 05:49, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting confirmed rights. I have completed 10 edits. I know how to add references, templates, section, subsection, images, etc. I know how to find reliable sources (not opinion). Understand consequences of disruptive editing. And know to always take neutral view. Hence, I don't think it's necessary to wait for completion of required days. I want to explore these user rights. Therefore, requesting for early access to Confirmed user rights. Thank you. Drontikar (talk) 02:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC) |

I had my EC revoked last year by the arbitration committee. I have since completed the required 500 substantial edits to the best of my knowledge. I applied about a month ago and was refused because I didn't clearly understand the requirements. But hopefully this time I got it correctly. Tashmetu (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
I had my ECP revoked 5 months ago. Since then, I've made hundreds of meaningful edits and currently have 806 edits. IdanST (talk) 18:16, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
I had my EC revoked because of gaming of the system. I believe this happened March 22, 2025. Since then, I have attempted to edit constructively on Wikipedia. I want to see if there is a way that I can get EC. Thanks again

File mover
I am informed by a courteous bot that my extendedmover rights expire in a few days. This is a useful capability especially for correcting article titles that do not conform to WP:MOS and to move Draft young articles which are unsourced but capable of improvement. Thanks Velella Velella Talk 20:19, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I’d like to request the file mover right. This will allow me to correct myself in case I upload a non-free image, especially for pages related to Ahmed al-Sharaa. I’ve read the file mover policy, and I’m also a file mover on Wikimedia Commons. HurricaneEdgar 13:23, 25 April 2025 (UTC) |

New page reviewer
I am reapplying for the new page reviewer role after my initial request was declined because now I realize I had applied prematurely. Since then, I have gained some experience, refined my understanding of Wikipedia’s policies, and have been actively contributing to the Articles for Creation (AfC) review process. This has not only strengthened my ability to assess new articles but has also given me useful experience in engaging constructively with editors. I am well-versed with Wikipedia’s guidelines, particularly regarding notability, verifiability, and neutrality. My strength is my ability to remain unbiased while reviewing, and I always strive to improve by learning from my mistakes. Though my registered account is only a few months old, I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time, which has given me substantial familiarity with its norms and regulations. I have been enjoying reviewing AfC drafts, and this experience has encouraged me to take on a more active role in maintaining Wikipedia’s quality. I now feel myself confident that I can handle this responsibility and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute as a new page reviewer. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Rahmatula786 (talk) 17:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
I would like to request NPR rights to contribute more effectively to this area and help reduce the backlog at NPP. I have created 18 articles and have been actively involved in patrolling new pages, tagging non-notable and promotional content for CSD and AfD. Many of the articles I have nominated for CSD or AfD have been deleted, which I believe reflects my understanding of Wikipedia's notability and content policies. With NPR rights, I will be able to continue this work more efficiently. I am familiar with relevant guidelines and policies and would appreciate the opportunity to help out in this area. Thanks for your time and consideration! Junbeesh (talk) 07:43, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
I've been an editor for a while and have experience in article creation (mainly on the shorter side for more niche areas with fewer sources) and have a few DYKs under my belt. Think my knowledge of policy demonstrated through this makes me a good fit for these permissions. Upjav (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
I wish to apply for New Page Reviewer permissions to deal with the large backlog of unreviewed pages. I have participated in many AfD discussions, which proves my understanding of Wikipedia's content policies and notability guidelines. JustARandomEditor123 (talk) 10:48, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I am a quite experienced Wikipedia editor and pending changes reviewer; I may contribute in this field as well. Itemirus (talk) 15:00, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
I have significant experience patrolling new pages from years ago. I have re-familiarized myself with content policies and would like to resume. — yutsi (talk) 01:58, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

I am an AFC reviewer asking for another trial or permanent permission for this flag. Last time, it was granted by @Sohom Datta: for a 2-month trial after the first month trial was successful. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 04:37, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have 1 denied applied about a month ago because I didn't have 500 undeleted Main space edits at the time. I now have 501 so I am reapplying for temporary permissions. I have a decent amount of experience going through AfDs and source searching to check if they are notability. Moritoriko (talk) 06:40, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I would like to expand my contributions to Wikipedia by helping address the extensive backlog at NPP. I have been an active participant in the AfC process as a probationary reviewer for multiple months, and I regularly take part in AfDs and occasionally in PRODs within the scope of WP:PHILIPPINES. While I understand that my impact on the backlog may not be significant in terms of numbers, I am committed to performing thorough, policy-aligned reviews to the best of my ability. AstrooKai (Talk) 19:32, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
I had a trial permission to manage redirects close to a year ago, if I remember correctly. I did not have time for the back half of that trial, but have more time now. I have noticed how large the article backlog is and would try to work on lowering that, since I am finding myself with a lot more free time on here. Generally think I have a good past experience with AfD, not as much as some, but understand most guidelines well. May leave some more questionable pages up for a different reviewer, but have a good record adding categories and WikiProjects on my own article. Lots of my current pages are election pages or football pages, so might lean more into reviewing those since I am most familiar with those guidelines. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 15:58, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I was granted temporary New page reviewer rights on 14 January 2025 ([8]) for a period of two months and again on 20 March ([9]) for an additional month. This current period is due to expire on 20 April. I would appreciate it if these rights could be extended and made permanent. Thank you. QEnigma talk 05:19, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
I was granted temporary New Page Reviewer rights for one month, which expire on 20 April. During this period, I carefully completed a reasonable number of reviews (of pages of various topics), including reviewing and tagging new pages with banners, draftifying, requesting speedy deletions, and creating AfDs. While reviewing new pages, I often searched for additional reliable sources and added them to the articles I was reviewing, to ensure that they were not lacking significant coverage references. It was time-consuming, but I felt it was a good thing to do. Therefore, I kindly ask to review my NPP work and, if it's ok, consider granting me permanent NPP rights. Cinder painter (talk) 07:38, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
I believe I meet most criteria. Plus I already review scientific articles irl, so I would say I have some experience on reviewing in general. Here to help where needed. Afonso Dimas Martins (talk) 16:31, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I was given the New Page Reviewer rights as a one-month trial. This permission will expire on 20 April 2025. During this time, I have been doing active reviewing of new pages and learning more about notability, reliable sources, and the CSD/PROD/AfD process. I tried always to be careful and make constructive reviews. I really want to keep helping with this work. So I would like to ask if possible to renew or give the reviewer rights permanently, depending on my work this last month. Thanks a lot for your time and consideration. Ambrosiawater (talk) 09:56, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
I've been active on Wikipedia for over two years, during which I've created 130+ articles, with 1 being deleted. I've also participated in numerous AfD discussions, been active as an AfC reviewer, and have a profound understanding of Wikipedia's notability guidelines and importance of reliable in-depth coverage in reliable sources. I'd like to help reduce the backlog of unreviewed articles and try a role of NPP. I don't hurry and review the pages carefully when nominating articles for deletion, accepting AfC submissions, and patrolling newly published pages. I hope to become a valuable team-member of the patroller community. Old-AgedKid (talk) 16:09, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, Currently I am an AFC reviewer and I would like to request for new page reviewer permission right, and I have read Wikipedia's policies and guidelines as requested. Thank you Fade258 (talk) 09:21, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
I believe I meet the criteria to review a page. Kindly verify my eligibility to undertake this task. I am cognizant of the obligatory Wikipedia rules when reviewing a page. I request a trial period; upon successful completion, you may grant me a permanent post. Thank You. Bakhtar40 (talk) 09:36, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
I am requesting permission to become a New Page Reviewer as I have considerable experience contributing to Wikipedia. I am aware of AfD (Articles for Deletion), PROD (Proposed Deletion), and CSD (Criteria for Speedy Deletion) processes. Additionally, I have also created and improved numerous pages, I strive to ensure that all new content adheres to Wikipedia’s standards for notability, verifiability, and neutrality while maintaining a high level of editorial quality.

Hello, I'm interested in becoming a new page reviewer. I have participated in about 200 AfD discussions, have experience with CSD tagging, and have done a bit of AfC reviewing. I have also created about 40 articles and have spent time helping in copyright cleanup. I'd love to help with the new page backlog and believe I have a solid understanding of Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Thank you for considering me! MCE89 (talk) 13:03, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
Interested in participating in the May 2025 NPP backlog drive, I am applying to extend my new page reviewer permission. I was granted it for three months in May 2024 and another three months in February 2025, but other real-world and Wikipedia tasks kept me from significantly expanding my NPP/AfD contributions during the latter trial. Accordingly, while I would be happy to permanently receive the new page reviewer permission in light of my continued content creation, I feel another three-month extension is reasonable. I have no behavioral blocks or 3RR violations. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 17:40, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration. Bobtinin (talk) 01:41, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
I was looking at the new backlog drive for May, and I decided to finally apply for NPP permissions here. A lot of the pages I've created have been reviewed, and it seems like an interesting way to find new topics to read about. I meet the account age & edits guidelines, have a lot of experience at AfD, have created several articles (e.g. Hibernation factor, Chloronitramide anion, Matilde Isabel de Sant'Ana e Vasconcelos Moniz de Betencourt), and have reviewed an article for GA. I haven't done vandalism cleanup a lot, but I have interacted with newbies adding questionably sourced stuff a couple of times, and I've interacted with a decent number of people trying to get through AfC with their new article at the Teahouse, so I have what I think is a decent amount of experience there. Therefore, I'd like to apply and see what the backlog drive is all about. Mrfoogles (talk) 03:58, 26 April 2025 (UTC) Mrfoogles (talk) 03:58, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

My home page showed banner at the top asking for volunteers to help with Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2025. I'm happy to help. I've got 19 years experience on WP; 38,000 edits (all hand-crafted, no bots); promoted five Featured Articles, created over 90 articles, and performed about 100 detailed article reviews (FA, GA, or Peer Review). If the admins don't mind, I'd prefer indefinite duration, so I don't have to re-apply every time there is a backlog-elimination drive. Noleander (talk) 23:31, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I would like to apply for a trial run of NPR so I can help with the upcoming backlog drive. I have participated in AfD for a while now and also recently started AfC and CSD.

I would like to request temporary rights to contribute to Wikipedia by reviewing new pages as there is a huge backlog. I have been working on Wikipedia for past few months as an active user. During this time period, I have learnt a lot of things and learning something new every time I work here. Before these 2 months, I had a little experience on creating pages and within this time period, I started contributing by expanding older or creating new articles mostly within similar topic base. I would be glad to contribute to Wikipedia by reviewing new pages and also, learn along the way. I will also be working with the editors of new articles which might be notable but lack sources or other requirements. Thus, I am requesting a temporary grant of this right and I will prove for further grant by doing worthy work. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 09:52, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

I had been planning to request AfC permission but the May backlog drive prompted me to request NPP instead. I am a long-term gnome, vandal-fighter, rollbacker, and occasional Teahouse helper.

Per the Criteria, it states; And I can have it revoked at any time, per the same article but guidelines for revocation per this; And of May 2023, new page reviewers are granted access to AFC, but the section states; I wish for you to consider my request, I am positive that I may receive this, but there is no promise on this as it is up to the administrators discretion, not mine.

Pending changes reviewer
I am requesting permission to be a Pending Changes Reviewer. I spend most of my day editing Wikipedia. I have gone through almost all the pages under Category:Wikipedia policies, including Wikipedia's policies on vandalism detection, BLP policy, NPOV, Verifiability, and copyright. I have read the Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes guideline. Please consider my request. Somajyoti ✉ 07:26, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello. I would like to request pending changes reviewer rights.

I am requesting the Pending Changes Reviewer permission. As a Rollbacker, I frequently handle vandalism, and this right would allow me to review edits on PC-protected pages, addressing subtle disruption and helping clear the backlog at pending changes backlog. I understand the responsibilities and core policies involved (like WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:BLP) and will use the tool carefully. UNITED BLASTERS (talk) 04:50, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting Pending Changes Reviewer and AWB/JWB access. As a regular vandalism patroller using Twinkle and RedWarn, I am familiar with Wikipedia’s core content policies of WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:BLP and would like to help address pending edits and reduce the backlog. For AWB/JWB, I would like to have the additional tool to explore making it easier to fix typos (e.g., quotation marks, possessives) and formatting features, standardize links, and assist with category improvements. I understand the need for careful review when using semi-automated tools and will use them responsibly. Thank you for your consideration. m a MANÍ1990(talk | contribs) 00:04, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Rollback
Hi! I've been patrolling, creating, and monitoring articles on Wikipedia for months, but recently i've been able to be more active. I would like to request the rollback right - having the right would make my work patrolling Special:RecentChanges easier, as I wouldn't need to manually undo edits, but rather just be able to rollback edits directly. I use tools such as WP:RedWarn and WP:Twinkle, so having rollback rights would help me combat vandalism easier. Not to mention, I am aware of Wikipedia's core policies - such as WP:N, WP:NPOV, etc. As a newcomer myself, I am very well aware of WP:BITE and try to be as friendly and welcoming to new editors as possible. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
I request rollback rights primarily to get Huggle, AntiVandal, ORES and similar tools to fight and detect vandalism and revert unconstructive edits more easily. I currently have an edit count of 928 and have patrolled recent changes (mostly around January-February). RaschenTechner (talk) 11:58, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
I’ve been patrolling and working on a lot of Pakistani BLP and other no-protection articles on MNAs, MPAs, and programs. Several IP vandals have made changes which I can’t undo. Particularly on the Sehat Sahulat Program, I need a rollback. Titan2456 (talk) 02:10, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
Been dealing with the Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Demographics vandal LTA and would prefer using mass-rollback to revert his contributions instead of manually. Only intended to use the tool in relation to this user and I have no desire to use rollback elsewhere. I do check the ip to make sure it is a proxy/webhost as well. Traumnovelle (talk) 11:42, 27 April 2025 (UTC)
I wish to receive rollback rights to use Wikipedia:Huggle, Wikipedia:AntiVandal and some others, with this permission I could revert vandalism so much faster than doing a regular pseudo rollback, using Wikipedia:Twinkle or Wikipedia:Ultraviolet. I was granted Wikipedia:Pending changes reviewer by @Callanecc: (mentioning as per my previous request), It may say I have had 2 requests denied in the previous 90 days, but one of them was by Callanecc for the bot, the other was when I didn't have as much experience, I am positive that I do this time. Using Special:PendingChanges I have reverted and accepted changes, and if I made a mistake I unaccept them. I follow the polices of PCR, and know the policies of Wikipedia:Rollback and Help:Reverting. I know to use Rollback when its a clear vandalism, and attempt to use it in good-faith when a edit-summary or talk page note would be needed, as the Wikipedia:Rollback states Thanks, |

Template editor
For quite a while now (a year? years? I don't know), I've been frequently making changes to various taxonomic articles to help cut down on Special:WhatLinksHere/Template: Taxobox (there's a relatively new set of templates, such as {{Automatic taxobox}} and {{Speciesbox}}, which is intended to largely replace {{Taxobox}}). These newer templates make use of another set of new templates, {{Taxonomy}}, in order to cut down on difficulties making and maintaining the "Scientific classification" portion of the infoboxes in taxonomic articles. For example, {{Taxonomy/Homo}} is used by the {{Speciesbox}} on Homo sapiens in order to automatically figure out that the genus Homo is in the subtribe Hominina, then uses {{Taxonomy/Hominina}} to figure out that we're in the tribe Hominini, and so on up through the various taxonomic ranks. In the case of Homo, this is all already done, of course, but it's fairly common that when editing a taxonomic article to update it to the new {{Automatic taxobox}} scheme, you'll also have to create a new {{Taxonomy}} template to go along with it. Also, fairly often I'll notice that an existing {{Taxonomy}} template is missing a reference, or that its parent {{Taxonomy}} template is, so I usually try to update that while I'm there. And that's what leads me to this request: For most {{Taxonomy}} templates, no special permission is needed to edit them. But once it gets high enough up the taxonomic tree (maybe the Family level? not sure exactly), editing them requires this permission. I don't run into this situation very often, but I do run into it once in a while, and in fact I just ran into it a few minutes ago. So, I would like this permission in order to be able to just make such changes myself rather than opening up a new section on the talk page or whatever, describing the proposed change there, et cetera. Beyond this specific taxonomy-related stuff, I have on occasion made other template changes in the past, and to modules too (though in that case, almost entirely -- maybe literally entirely, not sure -- just to my own personal MediaWiki-based sites). I don't use Lua very often, but I have used it both in and out of MediaWiki, and before I retired I was a professional computer programmer for decades. I've also been a Wikipedian for decades (I believe 100% in good standing, but certainly at the very least very close to 100%), and have made thousands of edits, including hundreds of template edits (mostly but not entirely of this taxonomical sort). - Rwv37 (talk) 22:10, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
