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:

List of animated films with LGBT characters[edit]Reason: There has been a lot of IP vandalism as of late (sometimes with IP addresses fighting each other through their edits). Me and other users have attempted to revert some of this, but I can't do much more without violating WP:3RR or starting an edit war, neither of which I want to do.

Talk:Israel-Hamas war[edit]I would like to request the addition of a talk page on the Israel-Hamas war article that points out that the map on said article doesn’t show the Israeli evacuation order from Rafah and should be updated.

Autopatrolled[edit]User:Princess of Ara[edit]
I recently noticed this user, Princess of Ara. An editor who works mainly on Nigerian related articles and others. While trying to appreciate the user's effort, I got in love with the lovely articles, well sources, written from a volunteer in good faith and now, I am requesting that she be granted the auto patrol user right. It'll also help reduce heavy backlog of NPP. Thanks for your consideration! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 08:05, 30 April 2024 (UTC) User:Prince of Erebor[edit]
I have created 76 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.

Page mover[edit]
User:Wikiexplorationandhelping[edit]
I have participated in quite a few page moves as of late, and this could help me move pages more better and efficiently. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC) User:PrimalMustelid[edit]
I work frequently on paleontological taxon pages, so it is necessary for me to be able to perform uncontroversial page moves, such as multiple clades of Hyaenodonta that were promoted to family rank by a user due to WP:OR. It is also useful for operating successful page move requests as I have previously needed to request moving pages for the likes of Ichthyosauria, Cynodontia, etc. PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC) PrimalMustelid (talk) 04:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Soni[edit]
I started working at the WP:CR backlog recently and realised I need the pagemover permission to close some RM discussions. So far I requested CSD to effectively move the page, but I will probably close more discussions in the future. Soni (talk) 10:12, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
User:ToadetteEdit[edit]
Reason for requesting page mover rights: multiple reasons including to swap pages (as a result of RM discussions) and suppress redirects, especially R2 eligible. I understood that I won't abuse this privileged right and read the instructions. ToadetteEdit! 15:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Pls I ask this permission granted because I've surpassed 500 edits; which means I'm extended confirmed user. Please I want to be a part of this one too. Thank You. 2RDD (talk) 06:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Rollback[edit]User:Kingsmasher678[edit]
I would like to add another tool to my antivandalism toolbelt. I already use Twinkle and make a point to warn most if not vandals. This has resulted in a lower reoccurrence rate and helps the wiki. I will use the tool to assist in these efforts. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 16:13, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
