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: IP edit warring – WP:HEADLINE, WP:OR, and WP:POV violations.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP 2601:283:4600:36c0:1937:bca:aded:5635, also using other IP's in same range is persistently adding unsourced names to text, is edit warring, had not replied to Talk page warning(s) and has now started "shouting" comments to their constant reversions. Several editors have reverted these unsourced additions, which have been reverted back by IP(s).

Reason: An IP address in Pakistan (175.107.211.119) has been vandalizing the page repeatedly for about a week. I've been reverting them, but can it perhaps get temporary protection for a couple of weeks, with the hope they'll get bored? Etoile ✩ (talk) 23:13, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Indefinite extended confirmed protection: User request within own user space. Per BusterD's comment in Special:Diff/1285477831, it was protected because of WP:DE, but there appears to be no good reason for non-extended-confirmed users to edit my user page. That user also said I can request any administrator to change the protection level if I choose to do so. Z.

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level
Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here. Reason: I would like request the removal of page protection for Julian Bunetta. This page was salted in March 2020 following a successful AfD, and from the comments there, it seems like he failed WP:MUSICBIO at the time and that the content was lacking. While I'm sure that as true at the time, Bunetta's rise in profile, the significant increase in coverage about him, and his recent Grammy nominations made him seem a little overdue for a page, so I've been working on putting that together for the last month or so. I created a draft in my userspace that includes a plethora of sources and information about his life and career, and I think it warrants the removal of creation protection. As an extra note, I also plan to make a discography page for him due to the volume of his work if this protection is lifted, so the existing discography section would split out to that page and expanded to include non-singles.

Reason: Page has been protected since 2008 (17 years) as of 2025. Given that there hasn't been much vandalism, I think we could try pending changes Filmssssssssssss (talk) 17:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC) Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because vandalism in this article has died down. 2600:1700:6180:6290:9166:760B:763B:2730 (talk) 23:34, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because sockpuppet is no active anymore and not much vandalism on this page it has been protected by MelanieN on July 7, 2020 plus she no longer administrator I just checked the tool username information according to unprotection request who ever is inactive or no longer administrator it can be appeal, if who ever active then we will have to contact who protect by username administrator so I'm requesting to be unprotected. 69.193.154.106 (talk) 00:04, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Or maybe we could try pending changes either way. 69.193.154.106 (talk) 00:15, 15 April 2025 (UTC) Reason: Reducing protection would allow for constructive contributions from more editors and help improve the article collaboratively.

I had created around 50+ articles on the English wikipedia, I handle and edit topics mostly on colonial architectures, there are many articles needed to be created on that feild so I would like to request Autopatrolled rights for my account and also to help page reviewers for decreasing workload.

I wish to assist at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. I also close WP:RM discussions from time to time and this tool will save me from having to do a technical request every time. I meet the WP:PMCRITERIA. GMH Melbourne (talk) 04:03, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I have been active on Wikipedia, I'd like to request PCR to monitor recent changes. I'm aware of WP:NOTVANDAL & WP:AGF, so there won't be any "biting newcomers" reverts. Srimant ROSHAN (talk) 14:40, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi! My name is WormEater13. I would like to request PCR rights. Having created multiple articles before and having made over 100 manual mainspace edits, especially for WP:BLP, I believe that I am knowledgable about Wikipedia policies such as WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:NOTABILITY. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 13:27, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
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)
Hi, I would like to request pending changes reviewer rights on English Wikipedia to tackle with the edits protected with pending changes while patrolling in the RC, since I have rollback rights. I think I fulfill the criteria to get this right. Also, I understand the related policies to manage these edits. This would give me a better chance to work to improve Wikipedia. Thanks for considering my request. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 08:29, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
I'd like to try some other counter-vandalism tools, such as AntiVandal, Huggle, and SWViewer, which require the rollback right to use. I've actively been patrolling recent changes for roughly 3-4 months and have consistently warned editors when reverting them. Tenshi! (Talk page) 17:18, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Greetings, I am requesting for the rollback rights to assist my passion in fighting against vandalism and roll off disruptive edits on Wikipedia, I actively scroll on recent changes feed and also new page feeds, I am familiar with WP:VANDALISM, I wish to use the AntiVandal tool which will help me revert more edits that goes against Wikipedia policies, I will love to help the community, Thanks to any admin willing at his or her discretion to grant me this permission. Best Regards (CP) 22:07, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I have been editing constructively on the project for a few years now and would like to more effectively revert disruptive edits when I encounter them. I am familiar with Wikipedia's policies and understand the distinction between purely disruptive edits and edits that may be unhelpful but are made in good-faith. When reverting a new user's edits, I make sure to properly explain myself in an edit summary and leave a message on the relevant article's or user's talk page as appropriate, unless the user is obviously acting in bad faith and WP:DENY applies, in which case I report them to a relevant noticeboard. I have thoroughly read the WP:ROLLBACK instructions and will make sure to familiarize myself with the tools before using them, and avoid using the rollback tools when they are not appropriate and another reversion tool would be more suitable. silviaASH (inquire within) 06:57, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
I would like to request rollback permissions to help combat vandalism more effectively on Wikipedia, I have been reverting vandalism for a good amount of time from recent changes using twinkle and undo. Therefore I think rollback tool can help me to assist in identifying and reverting unconstructive edits efficiently. Imwin567 (talk) 16:22, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello. I would like to get a rollback. I often search for vandalism on Wikipedia, and it will obviously be easier for me to fight it with a rollback. I warn users when necessary, and i know the most important WP policies. The Seal F1 (talk) 07:32, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello! Im requesting rollback rights because i am an extended confirmed user that has made hundreds of high-quality edits in mainspace. I need rollback tool to revert vandalism and other non-constructive edits more easier. WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 21:18, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
I request rollback rights to quickly revert clear vandalism and disruptive edits. This would help maintain article integrity and ease the workload for admins, especially during active vandalism periods. Thank you for considering my request.
