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.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

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

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

    Because NPP is the first line of systemic bias on wiki, exempting even just my creations from NPP is an improvement. In my own experience NPP has been a net negative, while I'm sure it is useful in some cases at some point my article creations aren't those. My creation history is beyond reproach, I have even been solicitied to join NPP on multiple occasions but have repeatedly declined on ideological grounds (I don't join paramilitary organization like the NPP).

    Confirmed[edit]

    User:Rmesrmes[edit]

    Dear Wikipedians: I'm a Brazilian user with a good grasp in Inkscape who is looking forward to help converting some raster images from the following page to SVG: Images that should be in SVG format

    My main interested in that is both to contribute to Wikipedia and to get more experience with vectorial illustrations. However, I cannot upload SVG versions in those images file history because my account is not autoconfirmed (it has less than 10 edits in EN Wikipedia, even though I have more than that in PT Wikipedia).

    I'm asking for the "confirmed" flag because I'll probably never do 10 or more edits in EN Wikipedia articles, mainly because I have good reading skills in English, but I'm at "base level" writing in that language. Rmesrmes (talk) 01:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

    @Rmesrmes: you should be able to upload these images to Commons in most cases as most of the source images appear to have acceptable licensing. Elli (talk | contribs) 14:15, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
    Category:Convert to SVG and copy to Wikimedia Commons is the best place to start, you will be able to both get the experience you want, improve the images, and make them widely available to hundreds of other projects! — xaosflux Talk 14:25, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
    Thanks for the input, Elli and xaosflux! I'll work through those images! I've also found another similar list at Wikimedia Commons here [1]. I believe both of those links solve my problem. Thanks! Rmesrmes (talk) 17:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

    Page mover[edit]


    User:PadFoot2008[edit]

    Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

    I am slightly concerned about the number of recent reverted moves. Primefac (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

    I am enough experienced for this role (as per the terms and conditions) and I will actively contribute to the community. Arigato! Wowlastic10 (talk) 13:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

     Not done for now; just because one meets the numerical requirements for a PERM does not mean they need to have that PERM. I see almost no RM participation, very few moves (especially ones that would require suppression of a redirect) and no RM/TR requests. If you actually find yourself needing this permission by all means feel free to request again in the future, but your request (and your experience from what I can see) does not indicate you do at this point in time.

    I'm a productive user that has warned people in the past for distruptive editing, COI, vandalism and more. I usually try to complete things I start and it is very painful for me to look at Special:PendingChanges having tons of articles. I would definitely try to reduce the backlog. 48JCL 23:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

    I have been helping in improving Wikipedia for three years now, and I am familiar with the wikipedia policy on vandalism as well as the main points of NPOV, Verifiability, WP:NOR, and WP:NOT.

    Reason for requesting rollback rights: i have some experience reverting changes via Special:RecentChanges and i always warn users of reverts i make to their changes where possible, wether this be via RedWarn or via Twinkle.

    I think this could benefit me with reverting changes and have much less hassle with it all. JoBo Gamer (contribs) 11:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
