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:

I have reverted all the disruptive edits and have even warned the users to stop the vandalising but to no avail, with the latest vandalising happening earlier today, which I also had to revert. That's why I felt like the only option left was to request a temporary protection of one month.

List of oldest continuously inhabited cities[edit]Reason: In general, this page suffers from frequent additions that violate WP:OR (including improper editorial synthesis), due to a misunderstanding of the article's topic; this is mostly done by IPs and new users. However, there is a persistent IP (actually, a range) that has been trying to add original research since the middle of February; this also includes the removal of inline cleanup tags (such as {{request quotation}} and {{page needed}}) and their refusal to engage in the talk page. This is clearly disruptive behavior; in my opinion, it can be handled by either applying semi-protection, or a range block (I can share relevant diffs for that), or even both.

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 76 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]
I'm an AFC reviewer, ardent contributor to Women In Red (most of my articles are on women) and biological topics. Xtools shows I have 57 live articles, however as far as I can recall, I've created at least 2 articles from redirects. [note that out of the 4 deleted articles, 3 were self delete]. I've 5 passed DYKs and 1 GA so far. I hate stubs and do everything on my part to at least create a C or a bare minimum Start. It'll be nice to have this right, as it'd reduce the backlog. One self-criticism I'd do here is at times I do not categorize pages myself and leave it for others. But I try to categorize some of the time, and I'll make sure I do not leave any pages I create from here on uncategorized. I've had a few warnings about copyvio, though they were a case of WP:LIMITED and once a case of accidental copy-paste. Nonetheless, I've been very careful ever since and will be perpetually. I'm courtesy pinging administrator @Ipigott as they're somewhat familiar with my work, and we had some delightful interactions. It's okay if you feel I should not be given this right as yet. Regards.

Page mover[edit]
User:Wikiexplorationandhelping[edit]
I have participated in quite a few page moves as of late, and this could help me move pages more better and efficiently. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC) User:PrimalMustelid[edit]
I work frequently on paleontological taxon pages, so it is necessary for me to be able to perform uncontroversial page moves, such as multiple clades of Hyaenodonta that were promoted to family rank by a user due to WP:OR. It is also useful for operating successful page move requests as I have previously needed to request moving pages for the likes of Ichthyosauria, Cynodontia, etc. PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC) PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer[edit]User:Sunnyboi18[edit]
Hello, I'am applying again for Pending Changes Reviewer, as it was felt by a person who reviewed this that my request was "all over the place" and that "I didn't understand that PC rights are". I don't think that's fair. I was simply just giving my experience and of having done 632 edits on Wiki involving mostly updating critical information, having been an Editor since Feburary 2021, and being familiar with Wiki Guidelines & Copyright and understanding the importance of making sure the info on Wiki is correct, and preventing Vandalism. And other requests saying that exact same stuff were approved, so not sure what to say but, I'am aware of the importance and privliege of this permission, and would like my request to be considered fairly, as it did not feel like that was the case the first time, based on the response that I got.

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:Nigel757[edit]
I'm a long-term editor on Wiki, assisting with anti-vandalism. Almost all my edits have been anti-vandalism, as well as having two successful AfD, helping preventing the use of Wikipedia as a promotional tool. I'm requesting the pending changes reviewer permission to assist in catching vandalism on articles under pending changes protection. Nigel757 (talk) 02:00, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]User:CGP05[edit]
Hello! I revert vandalism quite frequently and I would like rollback rights so I can use the AntiVandal tool to make the process faster. CGP05 (talk) 02:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
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)
