WP:PERM

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Also wanted to mention that if I am unsure of a subject's notability, I will utilize WP:AFC for my own articles occasionally Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:18, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Came here to request this permission for a different user, but since Yoblyblob is referencing their WP:MAY25 NPP work, it is worth noting that among the re-reviews of each patroller's work, 14/17 of their patrol decisions were approved. Of the remainder, two were drafted/redirected as WP:TOOSOON coverage of 2026 state elections and one was drafted for lacking enough coverage to qualify under WP:NEVENT. Considering they were the fifth most active patroller of the drive, this accuracy is good, not great. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 19:20, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

7-year vet of the site, multiple GANs and DYKs, 51 mainspace articles created of which 49 are live (G6 and G7 deletions for the other two). Etzedek24 (Talk) (Contribs) 20:54, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

I have been on Wikipedia for more than a decade, and I truly feel that it is one of my great passions in life. I have more than 30,000 edits, and I am credited with more than 300 articles that are not Redirects or Disambiguation pages. (I personally take credit for more than 100 of these, which did not originate as Redirect pages.) Although I continue to propose Draft pages to this day when I am not 100% confident myself about notability, I frequently go straight to the mainspace and have made a number of articles that have been significant in some form or field, with my particular focus being on film industry and electoral politics pages.

Recently, I redirected a few thousand Supreme Court of the United States cases to the case volumes in which they were listed. It was a large-scale project for me, but in the end it was decided that redlinks would be better for promoting caseload knowledge, something that I agreed to and I believe will continue to service our Wikipedia community. For this reason, it might appear that I have a large number of deleted pages, but this is almost exclusively due to this particular project; I had an edit deletion rate of less than 2%, and I had not had a page that I created taken down in years, not since I was a far more novice editor. (You can read more about that SCOTUS discussion here.)

I believe that being autopatrolled will continue to allow me to contribute to the Wikipedia community, and that is why I am reaching out to ask for permissions. I am happy to answer any questions or improve any articles that I have created if there is anything noticeable that needs help. Although I have long been looking to increase my permissions and role in the community, I quite frankly have always had impostor syndrome stop me from asking, but a bit of encouragement from Liz made me try. Thank you so much! PickleG13 (talk) 20:27, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm not inclined to grant autopatrolled so soon after the SCOTUS redirect deletions, but won't object if another admin wants to grant it. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:51, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for your honest feedback, voorts. Although I hope that an admin decides to grant it, I have been on Wikipedia for a long time and I will continue to for a long time to come no matter what. Please let me know if you ever need help with anything, whether it's a full-scale project or a simple clean-up. PickleG13 (talk) 21:47, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

I was granted a two month trial for this. Have created 100+ articles with 10K+ edits and will continue to do so. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 23:19, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Regular article creator and Did you know? contributor who demonstrates understanding of the notability guidelines on a number of topics. No copyright violation troubles, and spot-checks for text–source integrity do indeed check out. Note their creation Not-deer was deleted at AfD earlier this year; I'm not inclined to give this too much weight here as it seems to have been a notability edge case, and experienced participants in that discussion gave reasonable arguments both for and against deletion.

 Done Chetsford (talk) 20:01, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

I have created over 25 new articles that meet notability guidelines and follow Wikipedia standards and guideliness. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s core content policies (NPOV, V, NOR) and believe that being autopatrolled will reduce the workload on new page patrollers. Thank you in advance Lanceloth345 (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Hey Lanceloth345, could you comment on why Petrit Malaj was deleted a few weeks ago, and what you improved when you recreated it? (Courtesy ping for Sphilbrick, who deleted under CSD G12.) Similarlly with Gjesti, which is currently in draftspace. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 13:08, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
Page Petrit Malaj was recreated again in neutral way + more sources, becouse first version had some words "sounding" not neutral at all, (my fault) as per draft:Gjesti lacking notability it's under review but explained at talk page of draft page reasons why he is notable ect. (also partecipating other editor in discussion). Lanceloth345 (talk) 13:13, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Met this user at today's Event:NYC 400 Wiknic and Edit-A-Thon with Washington Square Park, and he lamented the delay in getting his articles patrolled despite being a prolific article writer. After reviewing their work, granting the autopatrolled right would be well-deserved. Three of their article creations from 2012 were deleted as non-notable malls. His 2014 creation of Ancient Theatre of Mytilene was deleted within days under WP:G12 which is not good but also more than a decade ago. Since then, he has written 221 live articles, 100 of which are C-class, across subjects including companies, biographies, and art pieces with adherence to our notability guidelines.

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

I am interested in helping to eliminate the backlog, particularly for articles involving Chinese, Japanese, or Korean-language sources—languages I am familiar with—that often remain stuck for long periods due to language barriers. I have experience at AFD and AFC, and while the P&G vary across Wikiprojects, I have served as an NPP on zhwiki for four years. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 08:57, 17 July 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting this flag to help patrol new articles and drafts. My main focus would be reviewing quality content based on English Wikipedia and marking CSD promotional/advertisement/spam content. Also, identify copyright violations if any when discovered. Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 09:07, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm reapplying for NPR rights as my three-month trial is about to expire. I unfortunately haven't done that much patrolling during my trial as I've mostly been working in other areas, but hopefully my AfC, CSD, AfD and article creation records are enough to show that I have a sufficient understanding of policies and guidelines to be trusted with this right. If approved, I'm definitely hoping to be more active at NPP in the future to help clear the backlog. MCE89 (talk) 02:33, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I’m re-applying for NPP permission after a three-month trial. I haven’t been a super prolific reviewer (90 articles + 38 redirects) but I’ve also done more content creation, de-stubbing, and AfD which I hope also helps demonstrate my understanding of the key principles. I’ve found NPP quite rewarding and would love to continue working. Zzz plant (talk) 21:15, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

Greetings, I have been an active contributor to Wikipedia for the past one year, during which I have created and edited serval articles in line with Wikipedia’s content policies and guidelines. I was previously granted New Page Reviewer permissions on a temporary basis but was unable to make full use of the tools at that time, due to other commitments. I am now available to contribute to the project, particularly in helping to reduce the backlog of unreviewed articles, Thank you for considering my request.

Requests for page mover

Page mover

I am active with cleaning up disambiguation pages, which are often malplaced. Almost all of my RMTR requests end up smoothly going through, and I have had several RMs that I knew had consensus and would have closed, if I could. I believe I have demonstrated good judgement in RM discussions, and will use the permissions to improve the encyclopedia. Thanks. Ivey (talk - contribs) 16:44, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

While volunteering WP:UAA I find creations that should be in draftspace instead of userspace. Thus, I move using a script that requires additional steps to make a soft-redirect after moving from sandboxes/userspaces. See the log here. I kindly request this flag as it will help me to avoid leaving an unnecessary redirect as discussed at User_talk:Agent_VII#About_your_move. I also intent to use this tool if granted for WP:PMRC#3, WP:PMRC#7 when going through Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 09:58, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Experienced editor with nearly 100,000 edits over ten years (and over 15 years of experience on the German Wikipedia). I am an active contributor at RM:TR, regularly submitting requests and attentively following each move process. All of my requests have reflected consensus and none have ever been contested, to my knowledge. In addition to filing requests, I have also performed several moves myself. I am kindly requesting the page mover right and hope to contribute at RM:TR when time permits and where my expertise is of use. Thank you for your consideration.

I've over 100k edits between this and my previous account and have made hundreds (possibly even thousands?) of moves, both discussion-based, bold, and technical. I'm pretty much only getting this to avoid needing to make uncontroversial technical requests, to reduce burden on reviewers. I will only really use this infrequently and for minor and uncontroversial moves. Almost all my uses will likely be romanization of Korean-related (fixing incorrect romanizations for especially historical topics). grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 17:51, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

I’m requesting to be granted the page mover right because I’m active at New Page Patrol. With this, I'll be able to move these articles without leaving a redirect would save somebody else the trouble of deleting these tagged redirects.

I believe this right will be benefit for me to contribute the project (I already have it at my native wiki). If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks in advance. Hasan (talk) 12:54, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

I have been occasionally closing discussions found at WP:RM and this often results in me making requests to WP:RM/TR. All of my requests at WP:RM/TR have gone smoothly, bar two, which I learnt from and are now more cautious, especially if there are a lot pages involved in the discussion. Additionally I do an occasional bit of WP:NPP, including moving pages to draft (see my Draftify log). If granted the right I will primarily use it for round-robin moves and supressing redirects when moving articles to draft (WP:PMRC#4 and WP:PMRC#6) in order to reduce work for other editors.

Full-disclosure: I had an edit warring block three and a half months ago which was lifted, by the imposing admin, an hour after it was imposed. See Special:Permalink/1284178028#April 2025. I allowed myself to get sucked into edit warring when I should have taken the editor (now banned and who I have helped in identifying sock puppets of, refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WikiAdvisor) to a noticeboard.

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer

I’d like to request pending changes reviewer rights. I’ve been active for over a month now and have made 700+ edits, mostly focused on improving article tone, adding reliable sources, fixing formatting issues, and cleaning up drafts. I’ve created and improved a number of articles, particularly in biographical and cultural topics. I’m familiar with key policies like WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:COPYVIO, and I aim to contribute more to content maintenance through reviewing edits on protected pages. I’m careful with sourcing and would use reviewer tools with that same level of care. Cognifex (talkcontribs) 11:39, 15 July 2025 (UTC)

Requests for rollback

Rollback

I’ve spent the last few days patrolling the edit log and reverting vandalism manually, but now I would like to use learn to use tools like Anti-Vandal and Twinkle instead of just manually doing it myself. GiraffeLover19 (talk) 14:31, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Your antivandalism work so far has been very helpful, but I have noticed that you are not notifying users with warnings when you revert nonconstructive edits.

For the last 6 months I have been working on vandalism through recent changes and by also viewing the abuse log. I've encountered some situations that I have cleaned up that having the rollback permission would have saved a tremendous amount of time I believe that I meet all the requirements outlined to receive the permission, and by receiving the permission it would allow me to contribute to the great cause of keeping Wikipedia free from vandalism.

Few questions for you:
  • Do you intend to edit LUA modules?
  • Do you intend to contribute to the other associated areas (contentmodels, edit notices, etc. Basically anything other then templates build on wikitext)?
  • Please review Wikipedia:High-risk templates, let us know if you have any questions about it.
  • Do you understand that in general, most changes to highly used templates should be proposed and tested first - as opposed to the standard WP:BRD process? (note: it is generally acceptable to promote tests to the primary page after a reasonable time so long as there is no objection).
