User:Xymmax
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:

St. George, Louisiana[edit]Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Edit-warring. Sink Cat (talk) 05:03, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Saturday Night Live season 50[edit]Semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – And IP-hopping person keeps on changing this with no rhyme or reason. I thought that it was a test edit, so I tried to correct it, but it turns out that it's just someone who is causing pure disruption. I am on an editing restriction and will not be undoing his edits, but Jgstokes has also reverted and warned him. Please undo this last edit and semi-protect to avoid this sheer disruption. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:30, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
MTV 80s[edit]Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Adding unsourced content about MTV 80s started broadcasting in the United States and inserting incorrect picture format. –LDM2003 talk to me! 06:46, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Haganah[edit]Reason: Revision history shows persistent disruption from auto-confirmed accounts, who seem to be adding unsourced, or poorly sourced content. I think it's time to upgrade the protection to Indef, Extended-Confirmed. 70.50.199.125 (talk) 08:03, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Bluebird K7[edit]Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Long-running content warring with a variety of IPs, see 80.3.122.252 (talk · contribs). There's a lot of pejorative misuse of sources, [2] and some of it [3] is just egregious. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:23, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

Autopatrolled[edit]User:Princess of Ara[edit]
I recently noticed this user, Princess of Ara. An editor who works mainly on Nigerian related articles and others. While trying to appreciate the user's effort, I got in love with the lovely articles, well sources, written from a volunteer in good faith and now, I am requesting that she be granted the auto patrol user right. It'll also help reduce heavy backlog of NPP. Thanks for your consideration! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC) User:Prince of Erebor[edit]
I have created 77 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC) User:SheriffIsInTown[edit]
I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC) User:Xoak[edit]
Hey, @Schwede66: I've done everything you have suggested me do here, and followed the edit summary instructions you've given such as default sorting my previous articles, fixing PP and P in citations, using SFN template and using Book or Journal templates in Bibliography, etc. I've also created half a dozen new articles as per your suggestion, and I believe they are unproblematic. Regards. X (talk) 05:17, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
User:Soni[edit]
I started working at the WP:CR backlog recently and realised I need the pagemover permission to close some RM discussions. So far I requested CSD to effectively move the page, but I will probably close more discussions in the future. Soni (talk) 10:12, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
User:ToadetteEdit[edit]
Reason for requesting page mover rights: multiple reasons including to swap pages (as a result of RM discussions) and suppress redirects, especially R2 eligible. I understood that I won't abuse this privileged right and read the instructions. ToadetteEdit! 15:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer[edit]User:Allan Nonymous[edit]
I have a history of cleaning up grammar, removing and refactoring uncited content and fixing citations. I'm hoping to maybe expand my editing scope a bit. Allan Nonymous (talk) 17:10, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
User:RowanJ LP[edit]
I've created many biographies and have a good understanding of Wikipedia policies. I've fixed vandalism many times and fixed many biography of living persons violations. RowanJ LP (talk) 15:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC) User:2RDD[edit]
Pls I ask this permission granted because I've surpassed 500 edits; which means I'm extended confirmed user. Please I want to be a part of this one too. Thank You. 2RDD (talk) 06:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Lynch44[edit]
Have been editing as an account for about two months, and even longer as an IP. I have also familiarized myself with the criteria and guidelines of reviewing as well. Lynch44 (talk) 17:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Imsaneikigai[edit]
I have been editing for around 2.5 years now, with specialised focus on field of entertainment. I also often correct typos or do general fixes on articles of various subjects. I have a good knowledge of wikipedia policies and would like to get this pending changes reviewer rights to broaden by experience and get more expertise of Wikipedia. Imsaneikigai (talk) 12:15, 13 May 2024 (UTC) User:AnAlpineSymphony[edit]
I have read all the articles and tips for reviewing pending edits. I also have a large, significant history of editing many Engkish and Korean articles about Academics, Music theory, etc. AnAlpineSymphony (talk) 05:17, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]User:Kingsmasher678[edit]
I would like to add another tool to my antivandalism toolbelt. I already use Twinkle and make a point to warn most if not vandals. This has resulted in a lower reoccurrence rate and helps the wiki. I will use the tool to assist in these efforts. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 16:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Editmakerer[edit]
Would streamline the editing process for reversion when combatting vandalism or unnecessary additions on a handful of articles, as it is currently a pain on mobile (my main platform) Editmakerer (talk) 19:22, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Piscili[edit]
Have been patrolling Recent Changes and fighting vandalism for some time now and I think that having one or more advanced anti vandalism tools would help a lot in this trajectory. Piscili (talk) 12:12, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
