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:

Patroller Usedtobecool thinks this individual would be a good fit for autopatrolled.
User:Rahammz[edit]
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Hello. I have been nominated for becoming a new page reviewer based on my edits. I believe based on my number of page creations and track record I fit the criteria for having my account becoming autopatrolled. Rahammz (talk) 13:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
User:Tapmani[edit]
I have created many clean pages without maintenance tags on them. This of course wasn't easy as I had to spend months learning how to create pages by visiting the Teahouse (a place without a sip of tea) to avoid embarrassing and suffocating the pages I create with maintenance tags overdose. Having this right will help improve this encyclopedia and lessen the work of those who review new articles. Tapmani (talk) 09:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC) User:Hemmers[edit]
Hi, Have created >50 articles (mostly BLP), which are clean and not burdened with maintenance tags. Main focus is filling in redlinks of medalists on articles such as 2018 ISSF World Shooting Championships (World Champ medallists tick the box on WP:SPORTSPERSON, easy mode for notability and generally end up with plenty of independent coverage). I don't want to burden the backlog with uncontroversial articles. Admittedly my work does tend to be short and to the point. But clean, with good infoboxes and enough independent coverage to be uncontroversial. Thanks. Hemmers (talk) 17:22, 11 March 2024 (UTC) User:Nataev[edit]
Good day! I keep receiving notifications about pages that I created a while ago and started to wonder if I should seek autopatrolled rights to lessen the burden of NPP reviewers. I've been contributing to WMF projects since 2009. Here on enwiki, I've made over 9,000 edits and created over 90 pages. Of them, only four were deleted -- three were later re-created by me and kept, and one test template was deleted at my own request. I primarily write about Central Asia's culture, geography, and history. Some of my latest contributions include copy-editing and updating the entry on Queen's University at Kingston and turning a redirect page into a proper article about the highly important Andijan Reservoir. I already have autopatrolled rights on ruwiki, trwiki, and Commons and have had advanced rights on uzwiki since 2012. Admittedly, since I'm active on so many projects, my contributions tend to be short, but I have a solid grasp of notability guidelines. Nataev talk 19:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
User:Academia45[edit]
When patrolling a page they've started, I noted its excellent quality, and in reviewing their contributions I note that this has been a consistent pattern. Klbrain (talk) 08:47, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
User:MikeVitale[edit]
I have created numerous pages, mostly recently in the realm of women's hockey: both professional and WCHA-related. I've no interest in creating counter-factual content, and would love to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. MikeVitale 02:08, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

User:Frzzl[edit]
Came across this user while patrolling, and am nicely impressed. With 43 articles created, Frzzl already has multiple GAs from their own creations. Among their last 38 page creations, only one has been a stub, and most are C-class. Frzzl's only deletion was their first ever page tagged as G2; in other words, no problems that I can tell. I feel confident in the creations so far. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:14, 18 March 2024 (UTC) User:Knightoftheswords281[edit]
Saw this user while patrolling. Knightoftheswords has done a great job at building up articles on all sorts of current topics, from the humble beginnings up to generally B and C class articles across the board. They've created 29 so far with zero deletions... besides one that shows up in XTools, which was due to a now-blocked user moving Knight's draft on the Whatever (podcast) into mainspace against Knight's wishes, to which Knight can't be faulted for (as they confirmed this during the associated AfD). With all else being equal, I feel like their creations have all been solidly put together, even if it takes a few edits to get there, and they have a good understanding of writing articles and policy. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC) User:Otuọcha[edit]
I have written better articles in own way and lining to Wikipedia's policies. Haven read and reviewed and taken to heart Wikipedia:Autopatrolled, I will like to explore more features of getting my articles auto-patrolled. I have created nearly 30 clean articles. All the Best! Otuọcha (talk) 21:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC) User:98Tigerius[edit]
I've created 33 main articles, mostly start class, well-referenced and no maintenance tag. I familiarized myself about the guidelines. I believe I qualify to have this user rights and I also believe it could be useful in the future when creating new articles. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 17:01, 26 March 2024 (UTC) User:Paradoxodarap[edit]
I've contributed a total of 516(26 mainspace) edits, out of which 450 were non-automated. Given my commitment to creating clean articles, I believe I qualify for the Autopatrolled user right, which would streamline the New Page Patrol process and recognize my trusted status within the community. I kindly request to be granted this user right to further explore my contributions to Wikipedia. bɑʁɑqoxodaraP (talk) 08:25, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

User:WizardGamer775[edit]
Hi, I would like to request the Pending Changes Reviewer permission as I would like to help out with reviewing pages on my watchlist which are on pending changes protection. Thank you. WizardGamer775 (talk) 18:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
User:Waylon111[edit]
Here's the criteria I have for being a Pending Changes Reviewer: 1. I have a account 3 years old (although I have started picking up editing beginning November 2023) 2. I think I have a good editing history, and a good track record. 3. I understand what's vandalism and what isn't (accidentally misspelling a word during your edit is in good faith, but doing things like changing the date of a movie from 2024 to 1956 is vandalism) 4. I know the basic policies, WP:BLP, WP:V, WP:!, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV. 5. I know that you cannot violate the Copyright policy. (WP:C) 6.I understand the guidelines on reviewing. But, you may ask, why do I want this permission? My answer is, to help people out on Wikipedia. If someone makes a edit that might not be correct, I could correct them on their edit. And I would like to use this tool to help "implode vandals", as the cool kids say. :) Waylon (he was here) (Does my editing suck? Let's talk.) (Also, not to brag, but...) 03:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
User:Rydex64[edit]
Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights Rydex64 (talk) 16:09, 24 March 2024 (UTC) 1. I have a track record of good edits on Wikipedia and almost no reverts on my edits. 2. I have contributed over 8+ articles till now. 3. I have reverted vandalism multiple times using live recent changes and understand what is vandalism and what is not. 4. I am aware of WP:BLP, WP:VD, WP:NOT, as well as WP:V and WP:OR 5. I am aware of WP:CV 6. I am very active on Wikipedia. Looking forward to getting access to the tool to improve Wikipedia! Rydex64 (talk) 16:09, 24 March 2024 (UTC) User:Reaper1945[edit]
1. Iwould say I have a track record of good edits on Wikipedia. 2. Along with that, I am extended-confirmed, with my account dating back to fall of 2020 and 3,708 edits as of this post. 3. Vandalism is something I see quite often throughout my time on Wikipedia, especially with new articles, but even on old ones where people do not usually go or think to check. I have dealt with what I can of these edits. 4. Throughout my time on here, I have become familiar with the basic content policies, including neutral point of view, no original research, verifiability and what Wikipedia is not. 5. I'm familiar with copyright on WP. 6. I have gone through and read the guidelines on reviewing. With all of these reasons and my experience on here, I am requesting this permission.Reaper1945 (talk) 01:36, 25 March 2024 (UTC) User:WikiHuman2021[edit]
I have a good track record of edits on Wikipedia currently standing at over 6700+ edits. I am extended-confirmed, with loads of experience with editing over the past 3 years. Daily I deal with vandalism and am fully aware about what is vandalism and what is not by identifying and reporting numerous instances of vandalism. I am familiar with BLP, NPOV, NOR, Verification, and what WP is not. I am familiar with copyright on WP. I have fully read and understand the guidelines on reviewing. Kindly requesting permission because of these reasons. WikiHuman2021 (talk) 01:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]User:Rydex64[edit]
I'm actively patrolling Vandalism, Disruptive editing and spam edits through RecentChanges. I use RedWarn to revert the vandalism or any unwanted changes and notify editors when reverting their edits on their User page. I usually keep an eye out on new users and unregistered users. I don't have any recent history of edit warring either. Looking forward to keeping Wikipedia articles safer as a Rollbacker. Thank you. 𝓡𝔂𝓭𝓮𝔁 13:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
