Hi. Based upon my learning and experience over the years of editing on Wikipedia (almost a decade now), I have created very selected pages which I find qualifying Wikipedia policies. If I find them trending in news but un-complying with the policies, I usually leave a redirect, or occasionally start with the draft. I believe not a single page that I created and/or majorly contributed has been deleted, and many respected editors and admins whom I had interacted with have always been helpful and supportive, believing in my good faith. Plus I only rewrite those articles in bad state which I find relevant, and not every other random article. However, due to recent attacks by sock puppetry over my edits, I want to be an autopatrolled user, so that I can easily continue volunteering independently here, and participate in the ongoing Destubathon as well. I promise I will not misuse this position. Thank you! M. Billoo 13:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
- @M.Billoo2000: A couple things here: the autopatrolled right does not give you any additional technical abilities, it would only filter your articles out of the new pages feed, so it would not help you with the Destubathon nor with any "
attacks by sock puppetry
". If you're having trouble with abusive users, please report them at ANI. Also, the autopatrolled right is meant for fairly prolific creators of articles, and looking at the XTools list I see just three creations in the trailing year, and not that many more in the years before that. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:35, 8 July 2025 (UTC)- Despite what TechnoSquirrel69 said above, I opened the last ten articles that show up in XTools (which lists 32 in total). That brings me back to 2022, which reflects the issue brought up above. The articles written by you are all nice and clean. However, about half of the articles that I looked at were not written by you; all you did is create the initial redirect. Given that, you wouldn't meet the minimum requirement of 25 articles created. Together with the low frequency of article creation, that negates the need to be 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)

Hello there, my respect to you! I would like to request for getting autopatrolled rights because I contribute interesting articles to both English and Simple Wikipedia. I have over 700 edits, which is over the requirements, and my account is over 3 months old. If I get autopatrolled rights, I will never forget this appreciation I got and I will continue contributing to Wikipedia, and I will also continue to take responsibilities for my actions. Thanks! Waiting for a feedback. :-) Victor Ningthemcha (talk) 13:06, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

Not done Draft:Keishampat was declined recently. Your most recent article, Tiddim Road, has peacock prose in the second sentence: "This an important transportation road during World War II, during the Battle of Imphal (1944), holding and remaining as an essential transportation road today." voorts (talk/contributions) 00:55, 14 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)

Fairly prolific article creator and translator who has written on a number of topics. I had nearly no complaints reviewing their creations for notability and text-source integrity, and they were all generally well-written and -formatted. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 09:45, 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)

Hello, I would like to request Autopatrolled rights for my account. I've made 74 articles, mostly BLPs. None of my articles have been deleted, and all are above stub-class. I have also recently had two DYK hooks approved and I make sure to create talk pages for my articles. I hope to cut down on the NPP backlog as I continue to create. 24Anonymous (talk) 03:20, 13 July 2025 (UTC)
