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:

Requests for page protection
Current requests for increase in protection levelRequest addition of protection to a page, or increasing the current protection level
Place requests for protection increases at the BOTTOM of this section. If you cannot find your request, check the archive of requests or the page history. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.
Reason: Repeated temporary-account edits are adding unsourced elimination results for episodes whose elimination has not yet aired. This occurred last week, when Aaron Potts's elimination was added before the August 6 broadcast revealed it, and temporary accounts are again adding the unresolved Episode 5 result before next week's episode. Requesting temporary semi-protection or pending-changes protection to prevent continued addition of unaired, unverifiable results.

Current requests for reduction in protection levelRequest removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level
Unprotection: Was suddenly indefinitely protected in 2015 by an admin who's not so active anymore. Even then vandalism was pretty sparse and could be mitigated, and it absolutely did not require an indefinite page protection. And the page doesn't seem to be a target for school kids anyways. If it was, the page for the author, Anna Sewell, would also be protected. MrCleanAd (talk) 17:28, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the recent disruption has subsided and there is no ongoing edit war requiring the current protection level. I am requesting that protection be reduced so legitimate editors can resume normal editing and maintenance of the article. Author In India (talk) 21:11, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
Reason: The protection is no longer necessary because the recent editing dispute has been resolved, and there is no current evidence of ongoing disruptive editing or edit warring that requires the present level of protection. The article can now be maintained through normal Wikipedia editing and existing monitoring mechanisms. I am requesting that the protection be decreased so that legitimate editors can make improvements and address remaining issues through the normal editing process. Author In India (talk) 21:19, 9 August 2026 (UTC) Current requests for edits to a protected pageRequest a specific edit be made to a protected page
I request the following sentence be removed from the lead's 2nd paragraph: "and subsequently annexing the Strait of Hormuz" This sentence was recently added but is completely unsourced, not in the body, and POV pushing. Although Iran has claimed sovereignty over the strait, there are no sources claiming that it has actually successfully annexed it during the ongoing war or even attempted officially to do so. The linked page on sovereignty in the text which is a new page created by the same user also doesn't even support this wording of annexation. Current talks between Iran and Oman are about shared administration as well, not annexation. ~2026-43592-81 (talk) 07:20, 7 August 2026 (UTC) Section: Ideology Requested edit: Replace the current wording with the proposed sourced wording below. Reason: The proposed wording provides a more neutral description of the movement's stated and reported political themes and adds citations for the claims. The change is intended to improve accuracy and sourcing, not to alter the article's neutral point of view. Author In India (talk) 21:28, 9 August 2026 (UTC) Handled requestsProtected edit requests

Autopatrolled
I have created 35+ articles and intend to continue creating more. I believe my article creation history demonstrates familiarity with Wikipedia's content and sourcing policies, and so I am requesting the autopatrolled right to help reduce workload for New Pages Patrol.LivingLife1976 (talk) 11:25, 1 August 2026 (UTC) LivingLife1976 (talk) 11:25, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
Hi! I'm here to request permanent autopatrolled rights. I was previously granted a 2-month temporary autopatrolled right back in June, but the period will end on August 11th. In total, I've created over 130 articles for Wikipedia with a focus on biographies of underrepresented individuals, including 10 DYKs, and have brought two articles to GA status. I've also been quite active in the Articles for Deletion procedure and in GA reviewing. I've grown quite familiar with the process of article creation on Wikipedia, and plan to continue creating more articles, so I'd love to get permanent autopatrolled rights. Thank you! Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 20:40, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
I am an experienced Wikipedian, former admin (107/1/1). Desysoped in 2023 due to inactivity. I originally received autopatrolled priviliges in 2009, although these seem to have been revoked during the desysoping. According to my tally, I have about 50 thousand edits, have created about two and a half thousand articles, have significantly contributed to 207 DYKs, 187 GAs, 19 FLs, 4 GT and 2 FT, and have conducted 309 GA reviews. I regularly create new articles, so hope that status as 'autopatrolled' can help offload the patrols. Arsenikk (talk) 18:03, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Page mover
I'm shooting my shot because I've had multiple occasions, including one within just the last few hours, when I had to wait for an administrator to delete a redirect so I could move a draft I'd been working on to mainspace. I'd like to cut out the middle human and be able to delete redirects by simply moving over them – certainly it would be one less addition to the admin workload. I admittedly don't have a ton of experience with requested moves, so I'll understand if this request is declined on those grounds. If this request is granted, then I promise I'll be careful with the new tools. Dylan620 (he/they/she • talk • edits) 01:26, 9 August 2026 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer
I am requesting the pending changes reviewer permission to assist with maintaining the quality of articles on English Wikipedia. My contributions have primarily focused on expanding and improving articles by adding reliable, independent sources, improving references, and organizing content in accordance with Wikipedia's content policies. 0ximjub43r (talk) 22:12, 27 July 2026 (UTC)
I am familiar with Wikipedia and its guidelines; occasionally come across pending changes I'd like to review. MSWS (talk) 03:18, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights I would like to be able to review edits that are on pending changes pages, as well as unprotected pages. I have 900 edits now, which a good number of them are anti-vandal edits. I also feel that I have a good knowledge on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I feel I could use that knowledge on pending changes pages as well as unprotected pages. MathMan4 (talk) 06:03, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
I would like to review pending changes encountered during recent edits patrol. I am familiar with Wikipedia's content policies. Mascius (talk) 18:28, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
In my recent changes patrols, I semi-frequently come across pending changes. If the changes are vandalism, I revert them, but I would also like the ability to accept good pending changes while I'm at it. I already have rollback, extended confirmed, and over 1.6k edits. I also have read and am familiar with the relevant policies. FlammablePizza (talk) 21:20, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
I would like to have pending changes reviewer rights, because I occasionally come across pending changes that I am interested in accepting/not accepting on the recent changes page. I have experience with the necessary policies from actions like patrolling recent changes, writing articles that go through the AfC process to get accepted, and DyK and GA participation. Bungle491 (talk) 19:54, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
I have made a few thousand edits now, many of which are in blp/ antivandalism, and i very regularly see pending changes that i feel i have the skills and knowledge to appropriately approve or deny, and generally think this is a good way i can continue to help contribute to wikipedia. i have read the relevant guidelines and feel my experience applies pretty directly to evaluating all the criteria except copyright, but i am more than willing and able to learn and have been reading up on the copyright policies in advance of sending this request. Jackjd0 (talk) 20:02, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Rollback
I would like to request Rollback rights. My last request was on 18 May. According to previous advice, I have tried to follow a clear workflow, including issuing warnings and reporting Vandalism, Block evasion, and Disruptive editing at AIV, RFPP, and AN/EW. In addition, I use Twinkle for warnings, reports, and reverts. AriuCH (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
I've recently been using SWViewer and Twinkle to revert vandalism, so this permission would be very useful for me. I'm already very familiar with how it works, as I already have this permission on other Wikimedia projects. -- 🐦🔥 Aws 💬 Talk 14:23, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
I would like to request Rollback permissions firstly in order to make use of tools like Huggle & AntiVandal. Secondly rollback permissions will allow me to increase the speed of my workflow as most of it consists of RC patrolling edits by unregistered & new accounts. My contribution history demonstrates that I have multiple months of RC Patrol experience and no history of edit warring. At the time of writing this I have 656 live edits of which 220 are in the Main namespace and 262 are in the User Talk namespace, this shows my track record of consistently notifying editors when reverting their edits. Vydrakk (talk) 10:03, 15 July 2026 (UTC)
I would like to request my Rollback rights. My previous request on June 15 was declined because I was blocked for making disruptive edits. Since I'm autoconfirmed, I use Twinkle to revert the edits which was vandalized by the IPs (or later TAs). Thomasfan1916[built buses?] 20:15, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
I am requesting permanent rollback rights after a 1 month trial in the past, as well as my recent 3 month trial. Over the course of the past few months, I have served as a CVUA instructor, and have continued using antivandalism tools like Wikishield and CVPI to prevent vandalism from infecting the wiki. 「Norellia.sh」(talk) 08:29, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
I would like to request rollback rights. I check the recent changes page a couple times a day and I use Twinkle currently to revert vandalism. I have over 200 mainspace edits as well as extended-confirmed permissions. I always use warning templates after reverting edits and make reports to AIV when necessary. Rollback would help me look through recent changes much more effectively with tools such as Interceptor or WikiShield. If not permanent, a month-long trial run of rollback would also work, so that I could reapply eventually. Bungle491 (talk) 06:27, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
I have antivandalism experience and I am requesting rollback permissions to be better equipped to fight vandals. My track record shows that I'm good at differentiating between vandalism and good faith edits, and responding accordingly. - Otherwise (Talk?) 02:50, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights I have 900 edits now, which a lot of them are reverting vandalism and ensuring pages follow Wikipedia's quality guidelines. I feel that being able to rollback pages/edits will help me ensure that Wikipedia's quality standards are being met, especially when a user has made multiple poor-quality edits. MathMan4 (talk) 05:57, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights, I mainly edit reality shows and there are constantly fan edits. I have to revert in most cases to stable one but it unfortunately also includes some good edits. Overall, extra hard work. Rollback will definitely help me. :) Tenshi Uisu (talk) 16:05, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
Been on wp for almost a year now with 5000 edits, already use Twinkle on a regular basis and would be useful when I'm reviewing pages. Fortek67 (talk) 12:13, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
I would like to request rollback rights as it will help me fight vandalism. I currently use Twinkle and I would like to use tools such as CVPI to revert vandalism quicker. Alpha Beta Delta Lambda (talk) 22:00, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
Articles are often subjected to persistent vandalism by unregistered IP users or even newly registered users. Such edits are frequently spotted while patrolling recent changes. Reverting these edits using the Twinkle gadget is quite cumbersome. I know when to use rollback. Mathew D'Marco (talk) 17:33, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
I am requesting the rollback permission to help efficiently revert blatant vandalism and construct history fixes. I understand that rollback is only for clear vandalism and not for content disputes. Elison Pokhrel TALK 14:52, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
I have done a lot of anti-vandalism work in recent weeks but have been frustrated by my inability to be able to restore a previous version due to conflicting errors after vandalism. I consistently notify users and reply to their messages, and try to assist them and tell them what they have done wrong. I understand the uses of this tool and how it is not for content disputes, and I would use this tool responsibly. I have taken feedback from my last request, and I believe I am now in a place to apply. Thanks for your consideration. Equivalent-Text2598 (talk) 22:39, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
Template editor
I recently possessed the template editor right, but it expired on July 1. I would like to request permanent template editor rights. I have met all the criteria for granting. I also am willing to prove I can be responsible again with possessing the template editor right permanently. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 05:13, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
Hello! My bot CutlassBot is applying the {{Deprecated archive}} template (recently protected). I’d like template editor permission while the bot is doing its run to apply the template so that I can handle any issues that come up for example, I have one change request pending at Module talk:Deprecated archive. I don’t intend to change any other high risk templates during this run. This is my first template so I don’t meet the guideline criteria. Alternatively, maybe we remove the protection from the module, but I think it’s lower risk to grant me the editor privileges for 3 months. Thanks for considering!
