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.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Smadar Lavie[edit]

    Reason: Semiprotected in 2011 due to some kind of trial. I can't find anything that indicates a trial is ongoing into the present day. William Graham talk 15:39, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

    It was semi-protected due to the end of the CRASHlock trial. See Wikipedia:Pending changes/Request for Comment February 2011/Archive 3 for more details. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 16:15, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
    Sorry, I read those links and I'm still confused. So consider this  Request withdrawn? William Graham talk 17:13, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
    I'll try to clarify. The article was placed under CRASHlock as a result of the initial trial of it back in 2009-11. After the trial was forcibly terminated by RfC months after it was supposed to end, the semi-protection was put in place to replace it. Odds are good that there may be a case for unprotection at this time, after almost 13 years. —Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 17:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

    Sexual and gender-based violence in the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel[edit]

    Reason: The protection is not longer necessary as even today’s official statement by the International Criminal Court notes when prosecuting Hamas leaders notes with a cacveat that “The Panel notes the Prosecutor’s statement that his investigations continue, including in relation to evidence of sexual violence on 7 October itself.” i.e.it is still at investigation levels so they are nothing more than allegations Lf8u2 (talk) 03:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

    Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.


    Israel–Hamas war[edit]

    Change "Since the start of the Israeli operation, more than 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 15,000 children and 10,000 women.[87][88]" to "Since the start of the Israeli operation, nearly 35,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed,[86] including over 7,000 children and nearly 5,000 women.[87][88]." This is based on the data recently revised by the UN, accessible here: https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-reported-impact-day-215. ConDissenter (talk) 21:21, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

    Is there another place to request this change? The talk page for Israel-Hamas war is restricted as well. The current source for casualty data is palinfo.com, which describes itself by saying it "does not lay any claim to neutrality for it blatantly sides with the oppressed Palestinian people." https://english.palinfo.com/about-us/. Recognizing that reliable sources do not need to have a neutral POV, why should we use this as a source rather than a less biased source like the United Nations? ConDissenter (talk) 18:28, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
    @ConDissenter Please go check Talk:Israel–Hamas war for earlier discussions and to see why your request is unlikely to succeed. FYI, the lower numbers refer not to the killed overall but to the killed who have additionally been identified by name. Besides, all the numbers are sourced to Gaza MoH anyway. — kashmīrī TALK 09:45, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
    Thanks for the reply, Kashmiri. I recognize the data is all coming from the same place. (I've tried to access but can't find a reliable site for the Gaza Health Ministry to find the data directly, so I assume the UN is accurately presenting the data.) I agree it hasn't changed the total number killed which is why I didn't suggest a change to that -- beyond fixing the "more than" to "nearly" 35,000. But I don't see any basis for keeping outdated numbers on women and children. The old ratio was 72% and the new ratio was 52%. The talk page suggests we need to wait for more RS, but at this point there are plenty:

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-women-children-death-toll-1.7203167
    Is there any way to flag this for the editors of that page, even on the Talk page? ConDissenter (talk) 23:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

    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 EreborThe 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. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

    Well, no hard feeling for the denial as before. You administrators are too quick to impose WP:CIR against a new editor. But you never exercise WP:CIRNOT and go straight to the 4th of WP: CIRRESP.

    Hey, I'm requesting Autopatrolled because I mainly make election maps and correct election maps. For a while now, I have been requesting individual files so I can override them with updated data or shape the maps. I'm very experienced in making maps and always make sure I have correct information. Would I be able to have Autopatrolled? Thank you GatewayPolitics (talk) 21:38, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

     Not done Autopatrolled would not aid with election maps. While you have created 61 articles, many of them such as 2010 Tennessee Senate election and 2008 Tennessee House of Representatives election are not free of issues and require additional attention. - Aoidh (talk) 01:54, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
    @Aoidh is there a way that I would be able to override maps without requesting? GatewayPolitics (talk) 03:11, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
    If you're referring to uploading a new version of files like in this comment then if they're on Commons then it would be handled through Commons, but either way isn't something Wikipedia:Autopatrolled on the English Wikipedia would help with in any way. - Aoidh (talk) 06:08, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
    Oh alright thanks for the help. GatewayPolitics (talk) 13:34, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
    Oh, it looks like only Autopatrolled users can do that [2] it's fine though, I'll just request files like I have been. GatewayPolitics (talk) 13:39, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
    @GatewayPolitics: Each project has its own permissions, so having autopatrolled on the English Wikipedia would not impact your ability to do anything on Wikimedia Commons and wouldn't allow you to update images there, you would need autopatrolled on Commons instead at Commons:Requests for rights. See for example Special:CentralAuth/GatewayPolitics where you have extendedconfirmed on en.wikipedia.org but not on other projects. - Aoidh (talk) 02:07, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
    Oh that makes sense. thanks for the help GatewayPolitics (talk) 02:26, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

    Page mover[edit]


    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)

    User:Cremastra[edit]

    Re-requesting after my one-month trial expired a month ago. I rename pages when it's necessary to make a round-robin swap, draftify new articles, and periodically close RMs. I also sometimes help in renaming categories for CfD. Cremastra (talk) 20:20, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:TornadoLGS[edit]

    I have spent some time patrolling recent edits and have draftified some articles and would like page-mover rights so that I can suppress redirects that would be R2-elegible. Additionally, while not something I have done as much recently, I have spent time editing tropical cyclone articles, which have been targeted over the years by an LTA known for page-move vandalism.

    User:Lightoil[edit]

    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 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)

    Hello User:750h+ . Nice seeing you here! From a quick look at your contributions, it seems like you usually don't leave a warning when reverting vandalism nor an semi-automated edit summary. It's very easy to do with tools like WP:Twinkle. Could you start warning editors? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 12:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Jonathanischoice[edit]

    I've been editing Wikipedia since 2004 and have been mainly working on articles about New Zealand, musical instruments, and wine. I've helped build several articles up to GA (cimbasso, serpent, contrabass trombone, soprano trombone) and reviewed several others. It would be good to be able to approve pending useful contributions to protected articles; the current article that prompted this request is the trombone article, which I'd also like to work on.

     Not done You don't need rollback to undo inappropriate edits. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 06:11, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
