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:

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – This article has constantly seen disruptive edits from IP editors, who typically change his year of birth to 1976.

Much of its well cited sources are removed by the multiple accounts in coordinated manner. Hence requesting to add protection of highest level possible. Adrikshit (talk) 15:17, 31 October 2026 (UTC) Reason: Request for temporary semi-protection of Pixxel I am a disclosed representative of Pixxel and have opened a conflict-of-interest edit request on Talk concerning disputed descriptions of the company's nationality and corporate structure. The article experienced multiple edits and reversions on October 30-31, 2026, involving its lead, legal-entity characterization, headquarters and corporate-structure statements. Examples from the history include: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pixxel&oldid=1383006295 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pixxel&oldid=1383022851 Complete history: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pixxel&action=history The issue concerns potentially misleading or insufficiently supported claims about a real company's identity and legal structure. I request temporary semi-protection, if administrators find that the editing pattern meets the protection criteria, to prevent further disruption while uninvolved editors assess the sourcing and establish consensus. This is not a request to enforce the company's preferred version of the article but protection against active vandalism by parties that have something to gain by mischaracterising Pixxel as an American company despite ample public proof of it being otherwise. Spacecowboy742 (talk) 16:46, 31 October 2026 (UTC) Reason: High level of BLP violations and repetitive addition of facts from unreliable sources. May suggest pending changes protection.

Please see the page history, I have attempted to revert the changes but the user again deleted half the page and claimed I have a COI even though I am not the page maintainer nor the creator, the page has been on wikipedia since 2011, I suspect the user doing these changes are due to religious discrimination in Pakistan against members of the Ahmadiyya community.

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]Request removal of protection from a page, or reducing the current protection level
Reason: Protection is no longer necessary as despite the books popularity, the authors page is barely changed and is not known to many people, and does not suffer from persistent vandalism. Most people can access information about him through his own website, thus, why I'm voting to remove semi-protection. 55618sh (talk) 18:56, 31 October 2026 (UTC)
Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]Request a specific edit be made to a protected page
The Houthis are currently listed twice, both as "Yemen (Supreme Political Council)" and as one of the constituents of the "Axis Of Resistance." Either "Yemen (Supreme Political Council)" or "Houthis" under "Axis Of Resistance" should be removed (preferably the former since the SPC has remained unrecognized internationally). An alternative would be for "Yemen (Supreme Political Council)" under "Axis Of Resistance" and for "Houthis" to be listed under "Yemen (Supreme Political Council)." ~2026-51187-32 (talk) 01:19, 30 October 2026 (UTC) Congress has not even declared war. Nobody is at war. How can you even have an entire webpage using a term about an event that is totally inaccurate? Stop watering down terms and sensationalizing media terminology. Nobody is at war. It should be changed to conflict or something more suitable, but only Congress can declare war and that has never happened. ~2026-58034-72 (talk) 19:01, 31 October 2026 (UTC) Handled requests[edit]Protected edit requests

Autopatrolled[edit]
I have been editing since May last year and have created more than 25 articles. Two of them are rated B‑class, and most of the others are C‑class or Start‑class. Two of my articles, Presley Gerber and Killing of Sonia Exelby, were nominated for deletion because of differing views on their notability, but both were kept. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ItsShandog (talk • contribs) 11:59, 22 October 2026 (UTC)
I've been fully editing Wikipedia since May of this year, and I've created almost 50 active articles. I have had a couple deleted in my early days and, in recent times, have had about one nominated for deletion, but it was kept without hassle. Thanks! ReelCosmix (talk) 05:32, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. My previous request was declined due to a copyright-related concern. I acknowledge the feedback and remain committed to complying with Wikipedia's copyright policy and content guidelines. I request a reassessment of my article-creation record and subsequent contributions. Thanks Biplab Anand (Talk) 01:42, 19 October 2026 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I have well understood WP:PCR and I pass WP:PCCRITERIA. I shouldn't claim that I am something special, so I rest my request for granting Admin. Whatever is decided, I would accept with good faith. Dylan Reed (Ping me) 08:12, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
I’m applying for the WP:PCR user right because I want whatever backlog it has by the time one reads it as low as possible. I have also read all mentioned policies in the section on prerequisites. TheEpicEgg56 04:33, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
I am requesting to see if I am ready to help wikipedia a lot more, I am respecting your decision. Thank you CharlieRidesRollerCoasters (talk) 15:47, 28 October 2026 (UTC)
I would like to request the pending changes reviewer permission. I'm familiar with WP:PCR, Wikipedia:Vandalism, WP:VANDTYPES/WP:VANDNOT, and content policies. I have 2,023 edits. I'm active in recent changes, patrol, AfD, and writing. I will use this permission to help clear the pending changes backlog, and further my anti-vandalism efforts. Thank you. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 16:06, 28 October 2026 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
I would like rollback to handle obvious vandalism more efficiently. I enjoy monitoring for spam, unconstructive edits, and talking to/notifying newer editors . I have read WP:ROLLBACK and will not use the default rollback summary on good-faith or disputed edits. Thanks. DocLG (talk) 22:47, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
I'd like to have rollback permissions so I can utilize tools like AntiVandal to help out with recent changes patrol. Justcgi (talk) 17:06, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
I would like to have rollback permissions to use Interceptor while out and about :) TobyKohlhagen (talk) 01:23, 6 October 2026 (UTC)
My reason for requesting rollback permissions is so I can make Recent Changes Patrolling easier with tools like Huggle and Interceptor instead of patrolling the old-school way. Evercool1 (talk) 06:11, 9 October 2026 (UTC)
I would like to have rollback rights so I can use Interceptor in order to do RCP on mobile. FYI, I've already been granted Pending changes reviewer. —Leaf.Sheap ⇖ /.°°.\ ⇗ (They•Them) 16:21, 12 October 2026 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights I would like to request rollback rights be better handle repeated vandalism incidents in Wikipedia articles. It will be beneficial and helpful for me to use such as Interceptor and Antivandal tools. Thank you. Kalpesh Manna 2002 (talk) 05:14, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
I have been editing Wikipedia for a few years now. I do some of my work on articles related to WikiProject Schools. I believe rollback right might be helpful in reverting obvious vandalism. There is often a lot going on when it comes to schools. I am not particularly technically savvy and have done most of my editing by doing everything manually. It may take me a while to learn this tool, as it did take me forever to finally start using Twinkie. So I do hope that this tool might help me work more efficiently. Issac I Navarro (talk) 15:17, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
100k edits with eight years of experience in editing here. The reason for requesting rollback permissions is the need of cleaning up professional wrestling-related articles which I am constantly patrolling and keeping updated and away of spam or unsourced edits on a daily basis. JeyReydar97 (talk) 11:33, 15 October 2026 (UTC)
I would like to request rollback rights. I do a lot of recent changes patrolling, and I think the rollback function and the tools that require the right would prove very helpful to me while patrolling. A while ago, I requested the rights and then realized I did not have 200 mainspace edits, so I withdrew my request. However, I should now have over 200 edits in the mainspace, and would appreciate if I could be granted the right. Thanks! Bucket of Bubbles (talk) 23:44, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
I would be honored to be granted the powers of the legendary Rollback flag to further destroy the morale of the nefarious vandal empire in my exalted conquest. They shall no longer have any hope of escape once I lay my eyes upon them and their unexplained content removals. EditWarCriminal (talk) 17:59, 22 October 2026 (UTC)
I am very active, and I use Twinkle but i feel as if getting rollback rights would give me access to more better tools and could help me make more reverts more fast, I have over 400+ edits, Anyways thanks for your time. Cheers, 208𝑦𝒆𝑎𝒉ℎ (talk) 03:36, 26 October 2026 (UTC)
I have been patrolling recent changes for a while with RedWarn and I would like to get rollback permissions so I can use CVPI. T430s • [ Talk ] 13:55, 26 October 2026 (UTC) T430s • [ Talk ] 13:55, 26 October 2026 (UTC)
I have reverted vandalism, BLP violations and unsourced changes, as well as being a pending changes reviewer for over a month, so I think rollback will be very useful for me. 🦅White-tailed eagleTalk to the eagleStalking eagle 14:06, 27 October 2026 (UTC)
Hello! I'm GrinningIodize, and I would like to apply for the role of rollbacker. I have over 2000 edits on the English Wikipedia, and I enjoy hunting down vandalism and reverting it, so I'm hoping to get access to the new Special:AbuseReview tool. What would you all think about adding me as a rollbacker? GrinningIodize (you just lost the game) (talk) 17:56, 28 October 2026 (UTC)
Have more than 200 mainspace eidts, no recent history of edit warring, have consistently notified editors using Twinkle's warning feature. Given that I have had a RC patrol userbox since April, it should be clear that I have more than a month's experience of such. Beta Beta Beta - talk 00:44, 29 October 2026 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights I would like rollbacker to help out by using the AntiVandal tool, to help quickly revert bad faith changes. Bennett Li11 (Talk to Me) 01:56, 30 October 2026 (UTC)
I would like to have the rollback permission to speed up my recent changes patrolling with tools like Interceptor and AntiVandal. I've been patrolling for over two months now, I understand when rollback can and cannot be used, and I always leave an appropriate warning on the user's talk page after a revert. Thank you for considering my request! Kapicapybara (they/them) (talk) 00:08, 31 October 2026 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights I would like rollback rights to easily revert edits. Emmanbotan🌹 (talk) 05:00, 31 October 2026 (UTC)
I'd need to move articles from my userpage sandbox to main space. That leaves plenty of redirections waiting for sysop to delete. Rollback right may generally avoid such a situation. I have rollback right in zhwiki and had much more before I went through wiki-semi-retirements. Hope this helps your judgement. だ☆ぜ (Dasze) 20:28, 31 October 2026 (UTC)
Template editor[edit]
Hello. I am requesting that my temporary TE rights be made permanent. As a TE, my edits have mostly consistented in non-controversial dark mode fixes/improvements and fulfilling edit requests. If I see a change that I think may be controversial, I try to bring it up on the talk page to discuss. While I have made some mistakes in the past by pressing publish too soon, I make sure to try and slow down and preview/test my changes. Axolitl (talk | contribs) 03:36, 30 October 2026 (UTC)
Hi. I am requesting TE rights due to frequently working with creating and sorting templates, mainly architecture and sports-related templates, and recently engaging into authority database extra ID recommendations. JeyReydar97 (talk) contribs 09:56, 31 October 2026 (UTC)
