User:Xymmax
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:

Autopatrolled[edit]User:Prince of Erebor[edit]
I have created 80 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC) User:SheriffIsInTown[edit]
I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews.

Hi I am requesting permanent page mover rights. I have been using my rights to help close Requested Moves and WP:RMTR and to the lessor extent draftifying pages. I have been more careful since the last time I requested the rights, doing the required cleanup after moves. I am asking for the renewal early as it took a long time for my rights to be renewed the last time. Thank you for your consideration. Lightoil (talk) 00:56, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

I've done reverting vandalism (Although I was on a hiatus since Golden Week as the vandal level hit 5) for some months now, with my edits growing over 2000 from 89ish including other works, and I request this permission to help with the works. I understand that I did make a misunderstandment couple of weeks ago and I have revised the guidelines to prevent another instance of that happening. (I've been making sure not to miss placing a uw as well). Not planning to request rollbacker until I stop making accidents.

I have made some very high quality articles (Aston Martin DB9 FA and Aston Martin Rapide at FAC) so I am very familiar with what content is reliable and what is not. I have reverted vandalism (in fact, reverting vandalism was the first edit I made) and whenever i seen vandalism, I take extreme pride in reverting it. Best 750h+ 13:28, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]User:HirowoWiki[edit]
I've been active at recent changes for more than 3 months to help revert vandalism and report AIV, which is successful. Rollback rights need access to a counter-vandalism tool. HirowoWiki (talk | contribs) 01:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Air on White[edit]
I have been active on RCP over the past month. I would like rollback for the particular case where a vandal persistently vandalizes the same page. It takes time to load via Twinkle and is frustrating when my attempt to revert fails because the vandal or someone else has made more edits. I believe rollback will save me time and make my efforts against vandalism more effective. Air on White (talk) 03:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
User:RodRabelo7[edit]
Hello, Roughly a month ago, I requested to be granted rollback rights. The administrator who responded, Fastily, asked me to patrol recent changes for a month before requesting the permission again. Having done so, I believe I am now ready to become a rollbacker. As mentioned in my previous request, I've been a rollbacker on Commons for quite some time now – over a year –, understanding how the tool works and the risks associated with it, and committing myself not to misuse it, under the risk of losing it temporarily or permanently, and even being blocked. Having patrolled recent changes for this month, with over 700 reversions in the main domain, I'm now more confident than ever in distinguishing between obvious vandalism, non-constructive changes, and good-faith edits, for example. I always make sure to notify editors after reverting their edits, so that these newcomers are not "bitten" (e.g. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b). Sometimes I even notify and guide them without reverting their edits; that's why I currently have a bit more warnings on user pages than reversions in the main domain. I also have a constant presence in Administrator intervention against vandalism, with a considerably high success rate (that is, the ratio between blocked accounts and reports). Of the more than 20 accounts I reported there (ignoring the IPs), only one was not blocked, for reasons I now understand well, so these will not be repeated. I have even opened a checkuser request as a result of my anti-vandalism activities (although this request was deleted in favor of one created later, I don't know precisely why). Therefore, I would like to finally become a rollbacker. As mentioned before, I would like to have access to semi-automatic tools, namely Huggle, which would greatly facilitate my anti-vandalism work, making it more efficient. I enjoy patrolling recent changes, and rollback rights would certainly make my life easier. Thanks, RodRabelo7 (talk) 09:16, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Myrealnamm[edit]
Hi there, I am requesting rollback rights so I can revert vandalism faster. I've been using Twinkle and reverting vandalism for more than a month now and I finally feel like it's the time. Around last month I've requested Rollback rights but it got declined because I had limited experience in reverting vandalism. I now have over 200 mainspace edits, reverting for more than a month now, and only this that might count as edit warring. Having rollback rights would give me access to tools such as AntiVandal which will help me revert vandalism easier. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) 21:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Ankermast[edit]
I am a German Wikipedian and have been active on enwiki as vandalism fighter since April, mostly using Twinkle sind SWViewer and always warning editors after reverting their contributions. Currently I have made almost 800 Edits here, which mostly consist of vandalism control. On dewiki I am member of the CVU, have more than 17000 edits as well as rollback rights. [4] I would like to be granted rollback rights as they would allow me fighting vandalism more efficiently and faster. Thanks Ankermast (talk) 08:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Youknowwhoistheman[edit]
Hey, hope you're all doing well. I have created 54 pages so far. And also fighting vandalism by IP and other new users on Resenchanges. But I face problem in using Twinke to undo an article which has been attacked by different IPs. So, one has to face a lot of problems in that. This is why I want rollback rights, thanks with warm regards! Youknowwhoistheman (talk) 09:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Megabits000[edit]
I am back requesting rollback rights, after a long wikibreak. I use twinkle for sending the warnings, and either the IRC chat or recent changes to monitor for edits that seem to be needed a review. I practiced using huggle to test how it would suit me (without rollback rights, of course), and I think it would make fixing vandalism much easier. if you check, I have a good track record of notifying after an undo-edit, excluding when another editor beats me to the chase. please notify me of any concerns you have, and I will attempt to respond in a timely manner Megabits000 (talk) 03:46, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Template editor[edit]User:Sundostund[edit]
Hello. I am re-applying for template editor rights, which I was granted on a temporary basis by Primefac (permalink) on 24 February; it is about to expire at 00:00, on 24 May. As I promised in my original request back in February, and as can be seen, I didn't misuse this right in any way. I used it in a very responsible manner, on a periodical basis, and I'm no longer obliged to bother others with template-protected edit requests, and basically have them to do my work for me when it comes to HRTs. Naturally, I would prefer if this right is extended on a permanent basis, but that is up to admins to decide. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 13:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
