• An example of one of the fabulous free images available at Wikimedia Commons.

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 as Wikipedia is not a free web host. The MediaWiki website has a list of wiki 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:

• Write Jidan article
• Expand Japanese Paleolithic Hoax/Shinichi Fujimura articles
• Expand The Thomas Jefferson Hour/Clay Jenkinson articles and seek free image
• Write Aizawa v. Japan (sandboxed)

  Promotional? The name makes it clear that this is an account with ties to a particular organisation (USEPA) but that it's controlled by one individual (James). It provides all the imformation that we could realistically expect from an account-name. If the villagers expect an editor to wear a COI bell around their neck as they walk around the village, so that everybody will recognise the affliction from afar, will the village council now punish the editor for noise pollution? bobrayner (talk) 19:03, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Current requests for unprotection

If you simply want to make spelling corrections or add information to a protected page that is not disputed, and you are not involved in any disputes there, consider simply adding {{Editprotected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. See the list of current {{Editprotected}} requests.

If you want an existing page unprotected, please try to ask the protecting admin first before making a request here.

Check here if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

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

• Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add {{Editprotected}}, {{Editsemiprotected}} or {{Request edit}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here.
• If the discussion page and the article are both locked, this project page is the right place to request an edit. If you can, please use the {{la|article name}} template to describe the article you wish changed at the start of your request.

I am a very active member in different branches of Wikipedia and I come across a lot of vandalism in which it would be helpful to have rollback rights. I have about 1,800 edits when you add edits from my other account TRLIJC18 which was hacked so I made this new one.

I have been involved in editing contents and creating new articles that aren't found on en.wikipedia and other sister project sites such the en.wikibooks and the en.wikiversity. However, i do find more pages that are edited by somehow other wikimedians who have little knowledge on them.

I began to patrol Special:Log/newusers for vandalism with the help of Twinkle in January and began working in the AfD recently in the past month and a half. I'm requesting rollback because I feel that I have a good understanding of Wikipedia policy and would like to become admin someday. I feel I don't need this feature, and if an admin feels I'm not ready yet they can decline this request, but I feel I am ready to step forth and gain one more user right. Thank you. --Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 22:51, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

First, I mistyped "Digital" for "Discipline" in the logo (.gif file)for Discipline Global Mobile, and wanted to correct my error ASAP: Another file-mover has now fixed the error (22:06, 22 February 2012 (UTC)). Second, having uploaded George Piranian's image, I plan to upload more (CC 2.0 German SA) images of mathematicians from Oberwolfach's collection, and wish to be able to correct any other errors: I plan to upload Rockafellar, Roger Wets, Claude Lemaréchal, etc., soon. Third, with the file-mover privilege and the associated user-icon, I could help others upon request at my talk page or by email. Fourth, I would (probably infrequently) help with requests from other users. (No hard feelings if you decline the request, of course.) Thanks!  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 20:40, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, User:Pepper suggested that I request this, because it would help new page patrollers. And by the way, the tool mentioned on this page is broken. Azylber (talk) 16:08, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

The user has created 102 articles. First edit was on July 30, 2009 and the user has 657 edits total. Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 16:16, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

N Not done Sorry. You've been tripping filter 402 for pretty long. In other words, creating unreferenced articles and not adding references thereon. Much of what you're adding is non-controversial and unchallenged material. But I'll really like to see you create articles with at least one reference in them. Please don't take this otherwise. Just add references and come back or contact me on my talk page and I'll grant you the right myself. Sorry for this. Wifione ^Message 03:47, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

No worries!! But a couple of comments:

1) All of the articles that don't have references were only my earliest contributions (approx. 40 articles) about the Beijing Subway. When I learned about the importance of having references, I had a discussion with other people also working on the Beijing Subway articles about whether we should go back to all of those articles and add references, and the answer that I received was "no, it's not worth it", mainly for 3 reasons:

1.a) I linked all my articles to the corresponding Chinese Wikipedia articles, and all of them cite plenty of sources

1.b) The Beijing subway system is developping very very quickly, and they publish information in lots of different places. And crazy stuff happens, for example last time we checked, the official website was out of date! So we didn't want to cite it.

1.c) Searching for these "secondary" sources is much lower priority than tackling the problem of missing articles about stations, wrong or out of date articles about lines, and wrong templates.

2) Anyway, point 1 refers to my EARLIEST contributions. All of the last 57 articles I've created (excl. disambiguation pages for obvious reasons) have references, and almost all of them have at least 2 references. Also all the other articles I've created (118 total) have references, except for some of the Beijing Subway articles mentioned in point 1.

Lastly, I'd like to say that getting this Autopatrolled permission has no direct benefits for me. I was asked to request it because it would help new page patrollers, so I was just trying to help.

Cheers, Azylber (talk) 07:27, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

I understand. Again, I'm sorry for the not done tag. It's not intended to dissuade a sincere contributor like you. It's just that you've created many recent articles without references, one example amongst many is Wanyuanjie Station, created on Jan 31, 2012. Do please note that there's no controversial material that I'm pointing out. It's just that any normal reader should be able to verify the validity of what you mention within the article. Kind regards. Wifione ^Message 08:28, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

The article you mention refers to point 1 of my explanation above. It does not refer to point 2. But anyway, I'm not really interested in this, I was just trying to help the new page patrollers because they said this would be useful for them. But nevermind. Cheers.

(Non-administrator observation)The autopatrolled right is generally offered to users with creation of atleast 50 suitable articles or more. I'd recommend creating 42 more articles and then come back to request for this right. Abhijay ^{What did I do this time?} 03:42, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

I am requesting permission to edit the "Sleeper Agent (band)" page only. I am a blood relative of the bassist and would like to update the page with pictures and background information about the band that doesn't violate the band's privacy. The pictures I am adding will either be my own, or cited pictures borrowed from a photographer. It is also in my interest to add information to the page over time as I see fitting. I would also like to note this is the only page i request access to at this point in time. Thanks Mgsclair (talk) 20:12, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

The article for Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim is currently semi protected until March 29th and I want to make changes to the speculative journalism that inserted into the technical issues section. While it is indeed in need of updating; the current supporting evidence from sources 94 to 98 are either old and specifically 98 is speculative journalism which has been disproved by the director of Skyrim in an article by Eurogamer. Also information surrounding the Skyrim Creator Kit is absent entirely. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:16, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

• N Not done Chris, as you're a new editor, I highly recommend that you discuss the proposed edits on the article talkpage in order to gain WP:CONSENSUS for them. Skyrim is a heavily-edited article, but a well-argued case will both a) bring you closer to being autoconfirmed, and b) ensure your edit suggestions are taken seriously (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:39, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Okay, since it seems that I can update it in a few days after being autoconfirmed I shall make a talk page about it; it is only the time aspect not the edits that I need now. I didn't realize this was more of a special exception case; cared more about removing the speculative and false information then I guess is really required here. Thanks for your time though!

I would like to have confirmed rights because I feel to can make Wikipedia a more reliable place. If I find a user with Confirmed rights and editing a post with out a source which is a Reliable I will Delete and change it with a reason. All user's with bad evidence will be report to yous admins.

• N Not doneHi, and thank you for creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Although I fully understand your desire to dive right in, many of our articles are semi-protected because they are controversial, prone to vandalism, or other reasons. As a new editor with few edits, it might be wise to discuss your edits on the article talkpage in order to gain consensus for your edits, or use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you're used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar things. The good news is that fewer than 5% of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that 95% of the articles can use your help right now! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:37, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey just saw this. I would say that the similarly named account can be deemed inactive if a) it has no edits locally, no more than 15 edits globally (and none in the last six months), and was created over six months ago, or b) it has one or more edits locally but not more than 15 globally (and none in the last year), it was created over a year ago and the last log action was over a year ago. — Bility (talk) 01:27, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
