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:

Autopatrolled[edit]
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. Hteiktinhein (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello Admin! I have been regularly creating articles and I'm also familiar with WP:AUTOPAT and Wikipedia policies. Thank you! Fade258 (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
Hallo! I've created 46 articles, and have been editing Wikipedia since 2010. How time flies! merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I have created 118 pages and would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks. Phantomdj (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia for the past five years and have created over 150 articles. I strive to produce well-sourced, high-quality content on topics such as Bayan al-Quran, Mamunul Haque, and Deobandi fiqh, and I have also improved existing articles like the one on Zakariyya Kandhlawi. While I understand that the Autopatrolled user right is not necessary for editing, I have noticed that the page review process can be significantly delayed, with some of my pages taking 6–12 months to be reviewed. As a New Page Reviewer for the past two years, I actively participate in wiki forums, including AfD, and none of my articles have been deleted in the past three years, which I believe demonstrates my understanding of notability and other relevant guidelines. I believe I am eligible for the Autopatrolled right, which would help reduce the backlog of unreviewed pages. Additionally, I have held the Autopatrolled right on Bengali Wikipedia for the past five years.

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
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 pass the WP:PCCRITERIA as far as I know, and the right would allow me to help even more to build the encyclopedia by making sure only acceptable edits are approved. Thank you for your consideration. loserhead (talk) 16:26, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
I am eager to work enthusiastically to help reduce the backlog of pending changes by reviewing and maintaining edits. I have read and understood WP:VAND, and I will issue procedural warnings and welcome new users who edit articles under PCR protection. AɭʋaKʰedək (talk) 21:02, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]
Hi, I have been on Wikipedia for over a year and have made over 1k edits. I mostly edit and monitor history articles. Several articles are sometimes disrupted knowingly or unknowingly by editors for which I have to revert. Having Rollback right would make the patrolling work easier and help to combat vandalism. I am aware of most of Wikipedia polices (WP:OR,WP:NPOV,WP:RS,etc.) I have also authored few articles like Bajirao I see [2]. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 07:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions as I would like to utilize tools such as Huggle, which require this permission. I have been actively patrolling recent changes using a custom filter and have consistently notified users whose edits I have reverted. Thanks, – AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 20:00, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I am a recent graduate from the [| Counter Vandalism Academy] and have been conducting counter vandalism using the Recent Edits page, and Twinkle. My tutor at the CVA, Cassiopeia, suggested I apply for rollback permission once I had completed my course, so that I could properly use Huggle for counter vandalism work. I have once previously applied for rollback permission, over 18 months ago, however this was understandably declined because it was premature. Since then, I have undertaken considerably more counter vandalism work (which I typically manage to undertake 2-5 hours per week) and I feel being able to use Huggle would significantly improve efficiency. I would also be happy to only be granted rollback permission on a trial basis, if that is an option. Thank you. Cabrils (talk) 04:42, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello admins, I’m respectfully requesting rollback rights so that I may contribute more efficiently to counter-vandalism work using Huggle. Patrolling recent changes is what I enjoy most on Wikipedia, and I’ve found that it’s where I can make the most impact with the time I have available. I've made 1840 edits since January. At present, I review edits by right-clicking the diff link to open changes in a new tab in Chrome and then use RedWarn to revert and warn users when appropriate. While this process works, it's time-consuming and not ideal for high-volume patrolling. Having rollback rights would allow me to use Huggle, which would significantly increase my productivity and responsiveness in handling vandalism. Earlier, I made two requests for different user rights but withdrew them after realizing that my interest lies more in patrolling and counter-vandalism than in article creation or extended content curation. That said, I have written one article and contributed to creating another recently, and I do plan to continue helping in content areas where I can. I also take direction well and am open to feedback. Thank you for considering my request. m a MANÍ1990(talk | contribs) 21:48, 30 April 2025 (UTC) There are no outstanding requests for template editor. Footer[edit]Policies and links
