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:

Entranced98 (talk) 10:54, 1 July 2025 (UTC) Reason: The Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light is a persecuted religious Minority which has been labelled as heretical and targeted by fundamentalists and even state authorities in multiple countries due to its liberal teachings—such as the belief that the hijab is not mandatory and its inclusive stance toward the LGBTQ+ community. This Wikipedia page has become an open source for these groups to slander and defame the religion making this wikipedia page a serious safety risk. The members receive daily death threats and this page being kept up with slanderous and untrue sections from completely biased in inappropriate sources puts the members lives at risk. We have been trying to update the page with unbiased legitimate 3rd party sources that keep getting removed and replaced. Like the pages for the Bahai and Ahmadiyya religions needed to be locked due to similar issues this religions page too must be locked immediately as it is a safety issue. The section under the heading "Controversies and Issues" on this page should be removed immediately. It is based on slander from authorities who later on record admitted to targeting the religion specifically to coerce the members to leave Sweden. This is now an ongoing legal case and human rights issue. Such a biased account should NOT be allowed to remain there. https://hrwf.eu/sweden-persecution-of-the-ahmadi-religion-of-peace-and-light/ Please see for a few examples of the persecution the believers face worldwide: In Kenya and Somalia two individuals were murdered by the authorities for speaking about their beliefs publicly. https://www.eureporter.co/world/africa/kenya/2025/04/17/kenyan-boy-killed-for-his-faith-in-aba-al-sadiq/ https://www.divinejuststate.com/post/somalia-nuur-aliyare-saide-tortured-and-killed-for-his-faith in Egypt the believers were kidnapped and brutally tortured by the authorities, kept in underground cells for long periods of time. https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde12/9296/2025/en/ The members of the religion have faced beatings, assaults and torture tactics with long prison terms in Iraq and Iran, https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/issues/minorities/sr/cfis/instinstitutional-designsitutional-designs/subm-sr-minority-issues-cso-coordination-associations-et-par-ence.pdf https://freedomofconscience.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2024-0506-UN-SRM-Iran-CAP-Liberte-de-Conscience.pdf The group has also been heavily targeted by the Malaysian Government due to its inclusive stance on the LGBTQ+ community. https://www.eureporter.co/world/malaysia/2024/12/19/malaysia-issues-religious-decree-against-ahmadi-religion-of-peace-and-light/ Furthermore the section at the beginning of the article calling the religion an "apocalyptic" and "doomsday" movement is coming from a source that unreliable and unresearched. It does not accurately describe the religion and was written for clickbait. It is not a serious source that should be considered for wikipedia. This article is not appropriately neutral for Wikipedia and the defamatory sections should be removed and the page locked. QuantumArchivist42667 (talk) 11:03, 1 July 2025 (UTC) Semi-protection: persistent poorly or undiscussed changes to attempt to obfuscate or entirely change one specific trait (hint: it may be kris being non-binary), not long after the last protection period ended. while some people actually discussing it tend to mistrust sources that say that's the case over their slant towards... being pro lgbt+, that's still discussion, which beats attempting to brute-force something in mainspace. admittedly, what kind of level of protection (if any) this would warrant is beyond me, so i'll leave it to admin discretion. consarn (grave) (obituary) 11:11, 1 July 2025 (UTC) Reason: Persistent sockpuppetry.

Please correct the Iranian civilian casualties in paragraph three. First it was changed without reason from 200 to 600. Then someone changed and seperated the estimate by Human Rights Activists in Iran News Agency (HRANA) estimate to be over 1,100 civilians killed which is conflating all deaths with civilians. No source was added to support this. The sources currently listed next to these sentences actually say 200 but these are out off date. HRANA's latest figure is actually 431 civilians killed. The source is presently used in the infobox for their own estimate of 1,190 total deaths. The Iranian government hasn't released updated figures so that should be removed until they have an estimate. I suggest adding the following sentence: "According to the anti-government Human Rights Activists in Iran News Agency, 1,190 Iranians were killed including at least 431 civilians." 102.17.120.130 (talk) 11:06, 30 June 2025 (UTC) Handled requests[edit]Protected edit requests

Autopatrolled[edit]
I've been here for almost two decades, with 30k+ edits and a fair number of articles created in the mean time. I believe I am well-qualified for autopatrolled perms. _dk (talk) 23:50, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi. Based upon my learning and experience over the years of editing on Wikipedia (almost a decade now), I have created very selected pages which I find qualifying Wikipedia policies. If I find them trending in news but un-complying with the policies, I usually leave a redirect, or occasionally start with the draft. I believe not a single page that I created and/or majorly contributed has been deleted, and many respected editors and admins whom I had interacted with have always been helpful and supportive, believing in my good faith. Plus I only rewrite those articles in bad state which I find relevant, and not every other random article. However, due to recent attacks by sock puppetry over my edits, I want to be an autopatrolled user, so that I can easily continue volunteering independently here, and participate in the ongoing Destubathon as well. I promise I will not misuse this position. Thank you! M. Billoo 13:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hello, While patrolling the recent changes, I often run into pending changes. I think I am a good candidate for this permission because I already revert vandalism prolifically. I have read WP:RPC and whenever I revert something that's not blatant vandalism/a BLP violation, I always include an adequate edit summary, so I would also be able to tell which pending changes are low-quality good-faith edits and let them through (with amendments after, possibly). I also never engage in edit wars or abuse my rollback function. Spotemgottem (talk) 08:27, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
I’m a very active recent changes patroller, very comfortable identifying vandalism and using WP:TW to revert, warn, and report vandals. I’m careful to avoid using immediate revert unless the edit is obviously vandalism. Rollback would allow me to more efficiently fight very active vandals before an administrator is able to block them. I would still use WP:TW in most cases, for routine recent changes patrol. ZachH007 22:47, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
I’ve been using Twinkle to revert vandalism from recent changes and warn users for a while now. I’ve been doing this for about two years, with some breaks because of school and life, but I’ve stayed consistent overall. I know what counts as vandalism and what doesn’t, and I always try to assume good faith. I’d really appreciate rollback to help make reverting quicker and save time. I can be trusted with the tool and use it properly. Thank you, ItsCheck (talk) 01:05, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi I am requesting rights to use the rollback feature as finding vandalism has actually been a very cool thing for me. I am requesting to be able so I don't have to undo multiple edits by spam-vandals, as I feel like it makes me kind of a spammer when I do this, and doing it all at once would be a great thing. I will admit that I had absolutely no idea that anyone could post warnings on talk pages, I thought that only admins and other experienced members who are given rights could do so. I just want to feel like less of a spammer when reverted edits, so I am requesting this rollback feature. Thanks, MakaylaHippo1998 MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
