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:

Temporary extended confirmed protection: Arbitration enforcement – Edit warring related to WP:GS/CASTE. Kline • talk • contribs 20:49, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Temporary extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Repeated misuse of the talk page with excessive discussions and comments from various Canadian range IPs that are WP:NOTHERE to contribute constructively and violate WP:NOTAFORUM since October. These have been excessive in a way that is unusual for a draft article. Despite IPs being warned, the inappropriate and unconstructive discussions and comments persist and show no sign of ceasing. Trailblazer101 (talk) 07:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
This is quite an unusual case. I have posted about it at WP:AN#Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse - draft article about a future film seems to be a long-term draft. Yaris678 (talk) 00:46, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Recent, frequent IP vandalism (at least partially from link being shared on x.com) Dgpop (talk) 17:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Some anonymous users changed the date of Shrek 5 to August 2, 2026, when the movie was only scheduled for July 1, 2026 per sources.[1] The Media Expert (talk) 22:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC) References
Reason: High IP of vandalism, made by an individual named John Ernest David or some of Bertrand101 's cohorts claiming some of former CNN PH personalities were transferred to UNTV, despite several users already cleaning up vandalism, any they keep re-adding them without any citations.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content. Adnan (ᵀᵃˡᵏ) 02:20, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: Requesting permanent increase of page protection to semi-protection. Consistent vandalism by new accounts and IP editors. MimirIsSmart (talk) 02:48, 29 December 2024 (UTC) Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – WP:GSCASTE, Prolific sockmaster (Truthfindervert) is abusing proxies to make disruptive edits. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:55, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason: An attack of non-extended-confirmed users trying to push one side's POV. Ymblanter (talk) 12:43, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Demographics vandal, currently editing as 2A0A:EF40:1250:9401:392C:A0DD:5485:BAC3, has immediately returned after previous short term page protection expired. Needs something much longer, or indefinite. MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:53, 29 December 2024 (UTC) Reason: Persistent addition of unsourced content. Waxworker (talk) 13:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Facing vandalism from anonymous accounts upset about something he said. DemocraticLuntz (talk) 15:35, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Extended confirmed protection: Persistent disruptive editing – There is a mixture of pov-pushing, vandalism and disruptive editing in recent months without a lot of new content change. CNC (talk) 17:21, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – Previously protected, which expired last Friday and it seems the same level of persistent vandalism has returned today. A temporary protection to be put back into place may be required again. Nyxion303💬 Talk 19:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC) Temporary pending changes: Persistent vandalism – No constructive edits all year: mostly IPs changing the dictionary quotes about what time evening starts, so that it matches their own opinion.

Autopatrolled( · view requests)
I respectfully request autopatrol and patrol rights, based on my extensive experience and contributions to Wikipedia. With over 12 months of experience, I've created 60+ articles and improved 100+ others. Granting my request will streamline the New Page Patrol process. I previously requested these rights last month, which was denied. Since then, I've improved my contributions. I believe my dedication and improvement warrant reconsideration. Thank you for considering my request. Royalesignature (talk). 03:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Nominating this editor for Autopatrolled based on a long history of high-quality page creation (80 new articles created in mainspace, with just one deleted a few years ago). Good encyclopedic style, excellent use of sources, images, formatting etc.; also creates talk pages. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:34, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Hi, I am requesting for this rights, because I have about 5 new articles that are yet to be reviewed and surely meets the notability criteria, I have been creating and improving articles especially on African Cinema and with this right, I hope to reduce the backlog on the new page reviewers log. Best regards, B.Korlah (talk) 06:36, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
To support WP:JAN25 I'd ideally like to be contributing to reducing the backlog as opposed to contributing to increasing the backlog at the same time. Overall in the last 25+ BLP articles I've created, there have been few to no edits made by NPR, aside from typos, grammar, and duplicate words. The first handful lacked certain templates, categories, default sorting, talk page banners, and the usual technical parts of articles, but I've since got to grips with including these. Since then I've only moved my drafts to mainspace, or created in mainspace, when I'm confident that there is enough SIGCOV and structure, and otherwise "incubate" articles not quite ready in draft space if not. I otherwise create quite a few redirects, with one disambiguated, and one batch up for discussion, but otherwise none deleted so far. Thanks for considering. CNC (talk) 12:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
An experienced editor with around 600 pages created, with few deleted; I've reviewed pages that they have created as part of NPP and they reach the standard expected without intervention. Klbrain (talk) 09:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC) There are no outstanding requests for the confirmed flag.
File mover( · view requests)
Hello, I primarily work with files on Wikimedia Commons, where I have file mover and autopatrol rights. The process of file moving on English Wikipedia is almost the same as the practices on Commons. I also have experience working on files on English Wikipedia, including submitting several rename requests. Moreover, I have file mover rights on Bengali Wikipedia, further demonstrating my familiarity with file management across Wikimedia projects. I am familiar with Wikipedia:File names and request this right to enhance my work. Thanks.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 05:15, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer( · view requests)
I request Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in reviewing edits. I have experience with editing and want to help maintain the quality of articles. Gwanki (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Have close to 1,100 edits as of making this request. I enjoy improving articles, I review recent changes daily by this point and am familiar with reverting vandalism (and distinguishing it from good faith edits). Having this right would mean I can instantly decline bad faith pending edits as soon as I see them. I have read and understood the relevant policies and guidelines relating to pending changes, vandalism and copyright. Beachweak (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Recently, i've been reverting vandalism and disruptive edits on Wikipedia with Twinkle and Ultraviolet, and as an extended-confirmed user, I have over 850 edits. I also revert good faith edits, and if I get this request accepted I will be able to reject vandalism put on pending changes (on pending changes). 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 22:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
I am an active editor with page creation review rights and over 5,000 edits to date. I try to keep my edits neutral and have a history of working with others on some contentious topics. If I make a mistake, I try to fix it and apologise as soon as possible. I have a good grasp of WP policy and MOS, and understand the difference between vandalism, tendentious editing and unconstructive editing. I've also got a very good grasp of copyright law (UK and US) and plagiarism due to my academic and professional background. Lewisguile (talk) 09:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
I believe this could help me out with the current vandalism fighting I do that may involve pages with pending changes. I have read WP:RCP, and I have a good understanding of Wikipedia's P&Gs. Mon Bhai converse∫edits Mon Bhai (talk) 16:42, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights, I want to do a lot more to help the Wikipedia project. Doing quick checks on new edits seems like a nice and semi simple thing to do here and there in my down time. DirectorDirectorDirector (talk) 11:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I had PCR rights a little over a year ago (see Special:Diff/883848573#User:EggRoll97 for the original grant, and Special:Diff/1179540299 for my self-requested removal), I would like to request them back to work through some pending changes again. I have just under 9,000 edits, and have been editing for multiple years. EggRoll97 (talk) 07:45, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
Rollback( · view requests)
I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I've been patrolling Recent Changes for a few months now. Rollback will help my work, especially when I'm out and about and can only access the app. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 15:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi! Though I started out doing grammar fixes, over the past 2 weeks, I've been using Twinkle and RedWarn to revert any vandalism seen on Special:RecentChanges. It's understandable if you'd like to impose the hard and fast rule of 1-month experience, but I've made almost 300 edits related to vandalism. I always leave a message for the editor and undo my revert in cases where I question my decision in hindsight and would rather have another pair of eyes look at the edit(s). Having the rollback permission would make RedWarn reverting faster for me and would also allow me to try out other anti-vandalism tools like Huggle. Could I have the right please? randomdude121 (leave a message!) 09:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I would like rollback so I can more efficiently fight obvious vandalism and I will use it responsibly and will always assume good faith. I have over 200 edits, but a few days under a month of reverting experience on recent changes, but please let that slide because it includes around 50 good quality reverts with pretty consistent and accurate warnings on talk pages. I only revert very obvious vandalism currently, and that's what I will do if granted with rollback, so I doubt I would suddenly decide to abuse my power if granted. Thanks for the consideration Fishy-Finns (talk) 18:01, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
Template editor( · view requests)
I requested template editor a few months ago for working on dark mode issues and got it for the rest of the year. However, it (turns out) (there are a lot of) dark mode related errors, a lot of which are in template protected templates or editnotices. Therefore I request a one year extension for this right. @Primefac: as the admin that originally gave this right. —Matrix(!) ping onewhen replying {u - t? -
