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:

Waxworker (talk) 11:29, 11 May 2025 (UTC) 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. Unprotection: Semi-protected since May 2010 seemingly over one (or perhaps only a few) IPs adding unsourced copyright violations a long time ago. Since there's not much history of problems aside from this, I'm hoping the issue is stale enough for protection to be lifted. Protecting admin is inactive and no longer has admin rights. Entranced98 (talk) 08:06, 11 May 2025 (UTC) Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.
I would like to request that a talk page be opened on the international court of justice [1] talk page with regards to editing the first sentence "The International Court of Justice (ICJ; French: Cour internationale de justice, CIJ), or colloquially the World Court, is the only international court that adjudicates general disputes between nations, and gives advisory opinions on international legal issues." Specifically in terms of dispute around the idea that it is the "only international court that adjudicates general disputes between nations" as in line with the page on international courts [2] other international courts adjudicate general disputes, for exaple as the international court page says the Caribbean Court of Justice's subject and scope is "General disputes within the Caribbean Community" which i believe also fit this definition. Furthermore there is no source on the claim that the ICC is the "only international court that adjudicates general disputes between nations" and the ICC themselves do not claim such on any source i could find. Finally i dont think the wording of "general disputes" is specific enough to meaningfully differentiate it from other courts jurisdictions. For example, the European Court of Justice's subject matter and scope of "interpretation of European Union law" also covers disputes that could be described as general, between nations. This is my first ever contribution to Wikipedia i apologise if i got the formatting wrong.

Autopatrolled[edit]
New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
78 live articles, (64 of which is start class, 5 Cs, 8 Stubs). Only one was deleted which is from 2018. All of the articles are well-sourced. I think this user is good enough for Autopatrolled Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 04:14, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I have created over 30 articles, none of which have been deleted. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's notability guidelines and currently assist new Burmese editors. I focus on creating articles related to Myanmar that need to be written, including those covering current events. Granting me autopatrolled rights would help reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Hteiktinhein (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello Admin! I have been regularly creating articles and I'm also familiar with WP:AUTOPAT and Wikipedia policies. Thank you! Fade258 (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
Hallo! I've created 46 articles, and have been editing Wikipedia since 2010. How time flies! merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I have created 118 pages and would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks. Phantomdj (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia for the past five years and have created over 150 articles. I strive to produce well-sourced, high-quality content on topics such as Bayan al-Quran, Mamunul Haque, and Deobandi fiqh, and I have also improved existing articles like the one on Zakariyya Kandhlawi. While I understand that the Autopatrolled user right is not necessary for editing, I have noticed that the page review process can be significantly delayed, with some of my pages taking 6–12 months to be reviewed. As a New Page Reviewer for the past two years, I actively participate in wiki forums, including AfD, and none of my articles have been deleted in the past three years, which I believe demonstrates my understanding of notability and other relevant guidelines. I believe I am eligible for the Autopatrolled right, which would help reduce the backlog of unreviewed pages. Additionally, I have held the Autopatrolled right on Bengali Wikipedia for the past five years. Thanks. –𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 04:02, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
This user has created a huge number of articles, mostly to do with football in Switzerland. A cursory review shows that the articles often need copyediting and could use more inline citations, but the subjects are consistently notable and the articles are generally well-researched and -referenced, so I don't see much for NPP to do here. Toadspike [Talk] 15:38, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Confirmed[edit]
Hello, I am already autoconfirmed, but I was wondering if an administrator could add me in the conformed user group so a template on my user page will display that I am apart of the autoconfirmed user group. Thank you for your consideration. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 22:57, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Page mover[edit]
There are some categories that might warrant moving that I cannot currently without this permission. For tangentially related details, I have a 98.9% AfD match rate, have made 63,500+ edits, and have been editing for a couple years now and am familiar with the page move policy and guidelines. Iljhgtn (talk) 20:15, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Mass message sender[edit]
I believe that I should have Mass Message Sender permissions as I am WP:X’s newsletter (Ichthus)’s chief editor, and I will be sending various newsletters to the people of WP:X, as I have already done. Having this permission will help me fulfill my duties. Thank you! Benedictions, FarmerUpbeat (talk) 11:50, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hello. I would like to request this permission. I'm reviewing the Special:Recentchanges, & I often see articles protected by the pending changes protection. I've read the both necessary articles about this feature and am familiar with the most important policies, including WP:BLP, obviously. Besides, I got the rollback a couple of weeks ago, so I can use it if necessary. The Seal F1 (talk) 09:40, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I would like to help reduce the pending changes backlog. Destinyokhiria (talk) 21:18, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Holla, It’s been over a month since I last requested for Pending changes right, I’m sure I meet the requirements now, I actively patrol the recent changes feed and I want to help. Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 21:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
I have been editing Wikipedia for over 2 years and have made over 5,700 edits. I’ve also been reverting vandalism using twinkle for a while so I am familiar with the guidelines. SKAG123 (talk) 23:40, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello, my first request was not done a year ago, I am reapplying today. I have read the review guide. Sometimes I look at the pending changes but I cannot accept good edits. Leotalk 16:05, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello editors, I request permission to review pending changes to help out the community on pages needing the RPC verification; overall I want to put and verify good content on the platform and this is one part that I would really appreciate access to. I would be reviewing and approving edits per Wiki guidelines, and I have read all policies on vandalism, copyright, BLP, etc. thanks! 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 02:32, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
Hi, I have been on Wikipedia for over a year and have made over 1k edits. I mostly edit and monitor history articles. Several articles are sometimes disrupted knowingly or unknowingly by editors for which I have to revert. Having Rollback right would make the patrolling work easier and help to combat vandalism. I am aware of most of Wikipedia polices (WP:OR,WP:NPOV,WP:RS,etc.) I have also authored few articles like Bajirao I see [6]. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 07:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions as I would like to utilize tools such as Huggle, which require this permission. I have been actively patrolling recent changes using a custom filter and have consistently notified users whose edits I have reverted. Thanks, – AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 20:00, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I have been on wikipedia for a few years & I've made over 1600 edits on the english wikipedia, and I've made over 7700 edits on wikimedia commons. I have reverted many vandalizing edits on a varierty of articles, and I've left many notices of these reverts on their talk pages. I've also made a few pages, mostly redirects, but I've also created other articles, including List of Agriotes species, Choristostreptus, and 1854 in Mexico. Having rollback privileges would make it much more efficient for me when undoing vandalism. No matter the decision, thanks so much! -Fneskljvnl🪱 (Contributions, Talk) (stay silly forever) 02:38, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I'm a long-time user on Wikipedia (have experience with rollback rights on my home Wiki), recently I'm actively using support tools to prevent cross-wiki vandalism (including enwiki). I'd like to be granted rollback rights on enwiki to make it more convenient to rollback here. Thanks! Halley luv Filipino ❤ 10:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
Reapplying. When I applied around 2 weeks ago I didn't have that many mainspace edits and was declined based on that (but given PCR) - [[7]]. I haven't used PCR that much, but I've made contributions elsewhere with CSD, AfC and files. I still believe Rollback will improve my ability to fight vandalism on Wikipedia. I'm fine with waiting longer though if I need a bit more experience elsewhere. Nahida 🌷 15:10, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
I've been fighting vandalism a lot, and would like to make the process more efficient in the case of obvious vandalism so that I will not need an edit summary to revert many disruptive edits by a single user. Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 15:34, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello admins, I’m requesting rollback rights so that I may contribute more efficiently to counter-vandalism work using Twinkle. Destinyokhiria (talk) 21:14, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to request for rollback rights to fight and detect the vandalism and revert unconstructive edits more easily. I am familier with the relevant policies related to vandalism and also with WP:Rollback. Thank You ! Fade258 (talk) 08:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Hello 🙏 My temporary rollback rights is expiring soon. I’ve used rollback right responsibly to revert vandalism. Would kindly like to request permanent rollback permission to continue this work. Thank you. Rahmatula786 (talk) 07:55, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
I am request this right because lately, there has been a lot of vandalism during the evening to night hours. I could not revert all of it because I had to click the article, go to view history, and undo. With this, I could much more easily revert vandalism. Please note that my account is pretty new, but I had an account before with around 1 year experience; that account was when I lived in Chicago, the reason I cannot access the account is because I forgot the username and password (it was a created a while ago). Thank you for your consideration of this request. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 21:05, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights. Have undone multiple vandalism attempts on K. Chandrashekar Rao and Revanth Reddy. Having the rollback permission will be helpful to quickly revert multiple edits. Skratata69 (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
