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:

Reason: Should not be generally editable. Have been mistakenly edited by students who are completing their peer review.

I would like to suggest the removal of motive and general mentions of politics in the article until anything in unambiguously confirmed by the government/police/anyone. Right now, the uncertainty of the situation is just causing conflicts and division in the polish public sphere and internet. The mentioning of (currently unconfirmed) far-right associations by the Interior Minister (also embroiled in a decades-long political conflict in Poland, where polarisation is at an all-time high) has only caused people symphathetic to right-wing causes to clap back and call the shooter a leftist, referring to for example his alleged support of LGBTQ causes. Such politicisation of this tragedy can only lead to more subjects becoming embroiled in it and potentially harmful associations (LGBT support = far-left shooter = LGBT people are far-left extremists that are a danger to our society). All articles by entities that claim to be focused on providing knowledge should, in my opinion, refrain from any political declarations before anything is known, not to mention that the situation happened so recently that any investigation into it is basically in an embryonic and chaotic stage, with additional pressure from the public of all political sides or convictions. I therefore think that mentioning this until any confirmation is made is just putting fuel on the fire of an already very volatile and heated political debate, and should be removed in order to keep the article as truthful and unharmful as possible. A mention of possible political causes with links to articles by news outlets detailing this would make sense, but declaring far-right associations not only in the infobox but also in almost every paragraph of the article doesn't make sense to me and seems to be doing more harm than good, which can even be seen on the article's talk page.

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)
Confirmed[edit]
I request early confirmed status for this account. I have been contributing biographical articles on the Portuguese Wikipedia and have prepared Draft:Lorena Betts in English with citations to English-language reporting and official sources. I encountered the account permission restriction when trying to move the draft to the article title Lorena Betts and connect it with pt:Lorena Betts. I understand that confirmed status does not constitute approval of the draft or exemption from content policies, and that the usual route to autoconfirmation is four days since the first edit and ten edits on English Wikipedia. If early confirmation is not appropriate, I would appreciate guidance on the appropriate draft-review or move-request route. Ludsonaiello (talk) 16:16, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
Page mover[edit]
Reason for requesting page mover rights is mainly to help close requested moves. I have closed over 100 RMs (44 moved, 32 not moved) and carried out around 25 moves myself using Move+. Many closures also needed a swap or a move over a redirect with history, which I couldn't do, so I had to list them at WP:RM/TR and wait. With page mover, I could do round-robin swaps and handle the follow-up cleanup myself. If admins think it's too soon, I'm happy to check back later. NomanPK44 (talk) 09:26, 8 November 2026 (UTC)
Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hello, Fellow Wikipedians! After viewing Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, I decided to request for this permission! When the backlog is high, I will use this user permission to clear the backlog! Happy editing and best wishes, Zahrazamedahmedi 💬My Talk Page💬 🫗My Mistakes🫗 11:17, 6 November 2026 (UTC)
Hello, I am requesting this because I want to expand my reviewing and anti-vandalism toolset and have more opportunities to do anti-vandalism work. While I am relatively new, I have experience, as you can see on the Simple English Wikipedia. I understand vandalism, BLP, and copyright policies, and I have read the review guidelines. Again, while I am relatively new, I think this would help me achieve my anti-vandalism goal, and I hope you can at least suggest how to get this permission. Thank you, ExplorerofUniverse ExplorerofUniverse (talk) 03:09, 7 November 2026 (UTC)
I would like to help clear the pending changes backlog from time to time. I meet all of the requirements and I have read the guideline on reviewing. a wondrous raven (talk) 05:30, 10 November 2026 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
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)
After a very long time since I last made a rollback request, I've been racking up more main space edits and have been doing patrol in general. I'm requesting the right so I can use more powerful tools like huggle, as well as make my existing use of Twinkle faster.
