Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

Hello, I am requesting Autopatrolled rights in order to reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. I primarily create new articles on politics and law with a focus on biographies of notable individuals. I ensure that the content I add are verifiable and the articles comply with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. My previous request was declined in March 2025. Since then, I have strived to improve the quality of my contributions and have made substantial improvements to several existing ones, upgrading them to B-grade, e.g., [1], [2] and [3]. Regards. QEnigma  03:46, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I just came here to request on behalf of QEnigma. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 03:47, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I formally request the autopatrolled user right. I'm a regular user of Wikipedia, both in English and Spanish, and I consider that, after so many years and hundreds of articles created on both wikis, i am in the position to say that I know the rules and styles. I've never cared much about user rights, but now that I've started a personal project (ambassadors of Spain and all its lists) to expand diplomatic information about my country, Spain, I'd like to avoid the workload that comes with reviewing articles that comply with our rules. Thank you. TheRichic (Messages here) 11:12, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I formally request the Autopatrolled user right. I'm a regular user of Wikipedia, both in Turkish and English. I have contributed to the Turkish Wikipedia, particularly on the Tao-Klarjeti region. I have also started to transfer these contributions to the English Wikipedia.

I've periodically patrolled Michelangelo1992's articles, and consistently found them to be in good shape. Focused on books as a topic area and very clear familiarity with WP:NBOOK. He's created 135 articles. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 22:56, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

@Michelangelo1992: I'm a little concerned about overly lengthy quotations. Would you commit to summarizing quotations a bit more? Also, see MOS:SAID. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:24, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for the feedback! I’ve always trended toward direct quotes to avoid concerns for original research, but I can make an effort to paraphrase more in the future while still citing the original source. I’ll also try to be more mindful of WP:SAID. I thought I was doing fairly well with this, but I am always open to feedback particularly if you have specific suggestions relating to recent articles.

@Dr vulpes,@Dclemens1971 Thoughts? Sohom (talk) 19:48, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) Thanks for ping Sohom Datta. Without any new pages to go off of, I don't know that there's a strong rationale for autopatrolled since the user is not yet creating pages at a pace where reviewing them is a burden to patrollers. The user did expand one previously created redirect; it includes one sentence that is copied from a source (see here). I'd also be curious to find out what happened with these pages, Fade258: [4], [5]. Did you nominate them for speedy deletion or were they left for patrollers to find and fix? Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:46, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Dclemens1971, Thanks for your comments. I aggree with you and I have modified the text which you have mentioned above. Regarding those two redirects above, I didn't nominate them for speedy deletion. If I remember correctly then, Mistakley, I created a redirect in article's talk page instead of article main page, for first redirect i.e 4. For second redirect i.e 5; It was deleted by @Jay: through RfD on 1 August 2025, where I created a redirect since there is an information about the Albuquerque: THE MOVIE in target redirect title but later removed citing notability concerns and references. I hope you understand. Thank You! Fade258 (talk) 01:27, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) @Sohom Datta In addition to the example of minor copying from a source that Dclemens1971 had pointed out, Fade258 has received two recent copyright warnings for their edits to Hobsonia florida: [6] [7]. Given that one of the guidelines for granting autopatrolled is a familiarity with copyright policy, I'm not sure that their autopatrolled right should be extended at this time.

 Not done – Hi, 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, and then use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you are used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar policies. The good news is that fewer than 5 percent of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that more than 95 percent of the articles can use your help right now! stwalkerster (talk) 14:28, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

I'm not hunting for the New Page Reviewer right, but I'm confident that if or when I have it, I'll make a real difference in helping reduce the huge New Pages backlog... I’m a fast learner and actively participate in multiple (multitask) areas of maintenance work. Most of my contributions focus on anti-vandalism, using AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) for cleanup, adding or removing maintenance tags, copyediting, correcting categories & fixing bare URLs.

I have also participated in Good Article reviews, WP:AfD discussions and the New Pages Feed. Am familiar with our core content policies especially verifiability WP:V, No Original Research WP:NOR, Neutral Point of View WP:NPOV, reliable sourcing WP:RS, Biographies of Living Persons WP:BLP, notability WP:N and What Wikipedia Is Not WP:NOT and am confident applying them when reviewing pages.

My goal as a New Page Reviewer is to help reduce the backlog while ensuring that new articles meet Wikipedia's standards for quality and notability and also to support good-faith new editors along the way. Thank you in advance. ThilioR O B O T🤖 talk 06:05, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

I would like to have NPP rights mostly to patrol redirects. As background, I have written a number of articles and also created a number of redirects. I would mostly use this to patrol redirects. I am fairly active at WP:RfD. I am rarely active at AfD and would not use this to patrol articles unless they are fairly obvious as to what to do with them (bright-line either passes or fails), just to reduce the backlog. Casablanca 🪨(T) 02:41, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

I was a bit concerned by the application statement, as we don't apply special review criteria for editors who say they want to primarily review redirects, but in reviewing your article creations and AfD participation I'm satisfied that your understanding of the relevant policies and guidelines is solid.  Done signed, Rosguill talk 20:23, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions and your interest in this permission. In reviewing your recent activity at AfC, I'm seeing you accepted a fair number of articles with signs of COI/UPE such as Dwta, Farah Talib Aziz and Émilie Brout & Maxime Marion. While it may not necessarily be wrong to move these to mainspace, you should be tagging them with {{upe}}, {{coi}} and/or following up with their initial editors to address these concerns; as it is, it's not even clear that you noticed the signs of UPE to begin with.

I am interested in being granted the new page reviewer right. I have an extensive history of editing on Wikipedia, having created over two dozen well-sourced articles on a variety of topics, as well as expanding and improving stubs and starts to C class at least. I also regularly review citations to verify them when it seems appropriate, including recently acquiring an EPUB edition of a book for one article. I have come upon a few articles recently that havent been reviewed yet, and it would be useful to help get those squared away. I frequently work with other editors to develop a consensus where everyone is satisfied, particularly but not only in contentious areas. And I enjoy helping to guide newer users on how to construct a good quality article. I am also deeply anti-LLM so I will be on the lookout for such junk. With this right, I would continue to verify and improve citations, etc. Sadly, there is a seemingly limitless supply of poorly cited legacy and newer articles. ← Metallurgist (talk) 22:40, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Have had 2 declined rollback requests in July and August but have since then, I now officially fully understand the basics of Wikipedia and how to edit, only issue I have had with my editing lately was an accidental page blanking I did due to page-move vandalism and failed move-back about a month ago, but have 2000 additional edits since then (4,100 total). I recently came across one article I was editing (Seth Curry) where the issue of not being a PC-reviewer took full effect, so I am requesting to be a PC reviewer, especially as some "Likely Have Problems" pending edits I have seen in the recent changes have actually been good.

Requests for rollback

Rollback

I spend a lot of time on recent changes, mostly using Twinkle because I find it's a much more efficient way of warning disruptive editors or vandals. With the filters I use I mostly encounter disruptive changes, unsourced BLP vios, and the like, but rollback would be helpful for the most obvious vandals. I always send editors I revert a warning, though I sometimes prefer integrated warning/welcome templates like {{welcome-unregistered-test}}. Though I occasionally make mistakes, I learn from them and tend not to repeat them, and I would only use rollback for the clear-cut cases. lp0 on fire () 21:11, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

I believe since then I have obtained a better understanding of Wikipedia's guidelines, and this permission would be useful for me as I could use tools such as antivandal etc. I am aware of all guidelines and always warn users with reverts. I have made 4 pages (which have been accepted) and I am also a pending changes reviewer and temporary account viewer and my edit history hopefully shows how I have put them to good use, for example sock puppet investigations I have started by utilising these tools.

I have been active in AV'ing for around 2 months now. I've gained experience about guidelines, know what is and what isn't vandalism, when to revert, and when not to. I am requesting Rollback to use other tools like Huggle to make RC patrolling easier. Thanks for considering. x2step (lets talk 💌) 02:23, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

I have been reverting vandalism edits and monitoring recent changes via redwarn patrol for quite a while now. I have a track record of notifying editors when i revert their edits. Rollback rights would help me to do counter-vandalism tasks more efficiently. Scoria (talk) 03:08, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

 Not done. You're definitely on your way to receiving the permissions, and I do see some recent changes patrolling work in your contributions - but I don't see enough yet. I recommend spending another month of regularly reverting bad faith contributions and warning users appropriately. Do this, and you shouldn't have an issue requesting the permissions afterwards. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:06, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

I've been getting back into gnoming, and doing some recent changes patrol. I wanted to try out SWViewer, so I would like to have rollback, at least temporarily, to try the tool. I'm already an AFC reviewer, NPR and have PCR and TAIV. I already use rollback with Twinkle, so it's nothing new to me, and I have read the policies. IAmChaos 02:17, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

I've been patrolling recent changes for over six months, and I feel like I now have enough experience dealing with vandalism (and other forms of disruptive editing) to be able to make useful contributions in this area with the additional technical abilities and access to tools granted through the rollback perm. I've used Twinkle and more recently Ultraviolet extensively (though not exclusively), so I know my way around the general "one-click revert" paradigm, and I almost always use appropriate edit summaries and talk page warnings. If I'd benefit from any constructive criticism, please let me know. Seercat3160 (talk) 02:35, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
Requests for template editor

Template editor

Hello. I'm an administrator on Wikimedia Commons. Most of my edits to the English Wikipedia involve renaming files or replacing PNG and SVG versions. Sometimes I also replace Copyvios with other files. I also help manually change filenames that User:CommonsDelinker doesn't do or can't do. In doing so, I sometimes come across templates that are closed for me. Instead of submitting an edit request, it might be useful if I had the right to edit closed templates myself. Therefore, I'm requesting this permission. Best regards, זיו「Ziv」For love letters and other notes 10:50, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done, I'm gonna WP:IAR the standard guidelines a bit and give you the bit, because a) you are close enough to the required mark b) for what you are doing sandboxing often isn't required c) because you are a administrator on commons and d) I think for what you are planning to use the bit for (renaming files), you will have enough clue to stay out of trouble/accidentally making changes that upset a lot of people.

Many many thanks! Regards, זיו「Ziv」For love letters and other notes 14:45, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
