Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

I would kindly like to submit a request for autopatrolled rights. I have created 50+ articles since 2017, which you will find listed on my user page here, none of which have been deleted nor have received any new page reviewers' comments in quite some time. I have also improved thousands more articles across Wikipedia. I am mainly interested in increasing the coverage of all things Brussels-related. Thanks in advance!

I would like to request autopatrolled rights, as I have been creating and plan to create many articles on the lists of chemical compounds that are well cited and have historically had few issues. I have also created other articles on biography, video games, and other subjects, which I may unreview myself if there are any doubts towards their suitability to the encyclopedia; I am mainly asking for this right for the chemical articles.

He created 5,728 articles so far, out of which only 25 have been deleted. Most of these articles are based on elections and politics. I believe granting autopatrolled rights would be a suitable recognition for this work. Baqi:) (talk) 15:27, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Particularly for tasks like fixing broken templates and adding article-improvement templates. Since I frequently go through hundreds of articles a day via Huggle, AWB would help by allowing me to quickly add these templates without having to manually search for them and copy-paste them into each article. A recent issue that comes to mind was dealing with a few instances of {{cn}} spam, as seen here and here. This would help clear up stuff like this. Synorem (talk) 03:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Requests for confirmation

Confirmed

Reason for requesting confirmed rights Adding to the pregnancy portion to the cancer page. I have worked on this piece for a whlie and have valid citations and sources. This is for a school project and not an act of vandalism or false information. Prarthanarawal (talk) 19:49, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

  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!

Requests for extended confirmation

Extended confirmed

In the beginning of November my EC permissions have been revoked by User:ScottishFinnishRadish due to what he considered to be gaming, because of me doing a large number of minor edits requested as part of the CW Project.

SFR said that he would not object to the restoration of my EC permissions once I made a few hundred more substantial edits.

Since then I made over 350 edits, mainly on pages related to mathematics and food security, and I believe this should qualify me for restoration of extended-confirmed permissions. DancingOwl (talk) 17:57, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

  Done for 30 days. Given that you've technically met the requirement for restoration of the right, I have no reason not to grant it. That said, I've limited it to 30 days, after which it will expire. I believe I'm permitted to impose this restriction since the revocation of the right related to editing in contentious topic areas and our general procedure for contentious topic areas gives Administrators maximum latitude in facilitation of a collaborative editing environment. Prior to expiration of this right, you can return here and request it be permanently added to your account. Chetsford (talk) 01:31, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer

Hello, I'm Memer15151! I've been actively working at Articles for Creation for the past month, and I believe am ready to start reviewing new articles in addition to AfC submissions. I'd love to help reduce the amount of unreviewed new articles. I am confident that I meet the guidelines for becoming a NPR. I have reviewed over 200 AfC submissions, created over 45 articles, and participated in over 20 AfD discussions. My account was created over one and a half years ago, and I have over 3,000 edits.

One time, I did accept some AfC submissions by User:Tatar Russian (who was later confirmed a sockpuppet) that were deemed to be written by AI. I was unaware of this, although I was a bit unsure why the user created drafts so quickly (I assumed they were copied from a doc or something else that they were working on). Although in Cryllic, I was able to locate the books in the drafts, and all of the ones I checked were indeed existing works of literature. I am now aware that many of the sources in one of the drafts that another reviewer accepted consisted of hallucinated sources. I assumed good faith and accepted the drafts. From now on, I will make sure to check all works of literature to make sure they can be accessed online, and if not, get information from the draft's creator. I learned from this experience and I believe I am ready for the new role in the community. UserMemer (chat) Tribs 17:33, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

I believe this is the right time to apply for these rights. Over the past year, I have been highly active on Wikipedia. Currently, I am serving as an AFC reviewer, diligently contributing to the review process. In addition, I actively participate in AFD discussions with full commitment.

Requests for page mover

Page mover


I got Page Mover permissions in late August to help with the post-move cleanup of LGBT->LGBTQ and have since moved several (probably hundreds) uncontroversial subpages to follow it. I got an extension for another two months granted a month and a half ago to finish the cleanup and voiced my interest in helping with other unrelated moves as well. I started clerking at RM and RMTR for the past two months without issues or challenges to move requests I have acted on, showing that I appear to have a good grasp of our AT policies (and taking this note from SiverLocust as a compliment) and would like to request to keep the Page Mover permissions indefinitely to continue to help with RM and RMTR (and the occasional LGBTQ cleanup as I still stumble across some every now and then).

Requests for rollback

Rollback

Requesting rollback permission to combat the pervasive presence of vandalism and/or edits of unencyclopedic quality to the best of my ability. At the present moment I am a semi-retired user; however, I have been a regular patroller of recent changes to both specific pages as well as the site as a whole. I'd very much like to learn the counter-vandalism tool RedWarn and/or Ultraviolet and get involved to a greater extent across the site in keeping pages up to editors' standards - I intend to be a long-term contributor to the site and expect to be much more active in the future, predominantly in this line of work. I've familiarized myself with WP:VANDTYPES and have encountered and attempted thus far to manually revert instances of controversial edits at times - edits which it would be far more helpful to all parties to take care of via rollback. I'd particularly like to delve into new ways to spot the more subtle instances that go unnoticed for longer periods of time, per WP:SNEAKY, as well as monitor for violations of WP:TPV and continually make an effort to practice WP:WARNVAND, WP:HTSV, WP:NOTVANDALISM, WP:RVAN and WP:NORESVAND among others. My most notable effort to prevent escalated conflict(s) would be in the Talk:Wings_of_Fire_(novel_series)#February_2023_Content_Editing_Conflict, though I do not yet have a track record of notifying users when reverting their edits beyond discussions on article talk pages (though this is typically as the reverted editor has tended to initiate the conversations first). Furthermore, I intend to prioritize diligently monitoring sockfarm-targeted pages in addition watching out for recent changes. Please let me know if you'd like me to undergo training and/or further regulatory practice first - and thank you for your consideration of me for this responsibility. ^^ TheMysteriousShadeheart (talk) 19:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

@TheMysteriousShadeheart The rollback permission is not required to use RedWarn or Ultraviolet. --Ahecht (TALK

15:47, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
I see, I see; thanks for letting me know. Would I still be allowed to request rollback rights for the sake of utilizing these anti-vandalism tools to the utmost, or would you prefer I use RedWarn/Ultraviolet before making such a request (or, rather, the rollback-required AntiVandal)? In either instance I would still like to request the option of using rollback in the case of rollback-preferred cases of vandalism, which is - again - the primary reason I am making this request. TheMysteriousShadeheart (talk) 21:16, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
Hi TheMysteriousShadeheart, I'll grant rollback if you provide a list of five diffs where you have used, in practice, anything else than rollback (RedWarn, Ultraviolet, manual undo or whatever) and could have used the more performant, simple server-side rollback instead. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 04:06, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
(see WP:ROLLBACKUSE for the limitations of what these five diffs may be about) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:51, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
A sample of twenty-five (25) instances of manual undo are as follows (as the first method I learned, I have used it most frequently):
  1. Talk:Tui T. Sutherland: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
  2. Wings of Fire (novel series): Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
  3. Talk:MasterChef Canada: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
  4. Wings of Fire (novel series): Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

  22. Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
  23. Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
  24. Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
  25. Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
Edits such as the following one would have been much more serviceable with rollback (as in the case of many of the aforementioned edits):
  1. Wings of Fire (novel series): Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
On that note, the following edit - where I addressed WP:TALKOFFTOPIC - is one of my outlying contributions which clearly would constitutionally not require rollback; rather, page clean-up is a better solution:
  1. Talk:Wings of Fire (novel series): Difference between revisions - Wikipedia
The majority of my editing history has been through correcting overlooked errors/mistakes of minor significance on pages (ex. punctuation; spelling; spacing; formatting; cross-linking; broken citations; etc.).
Please note that edit discussions, when necessary, took place on page talk pages rather than user talk pages; I do not believe I have ever issued a talk page warning as other users typically did so before myself (though I am fully familiar with what is required/expected of in the practice).
(To clarify what I believe to be a point of concern, I believe several of these "users" could be the result of a sockfarm threat made here. It was quite a discussion with this user in the days before and as the sample of manual undos above indicate, I have spent much of my editing time focusing on targeted pages.)
Keeping in mind the limitations and responsibilities of WP:ROLLBACKUSE, I again thank you for your consideration of me for this privilege and power. ^^ TheMysteriousShadeheart (talk) 18:07, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
[Comment: Considering the differences between RedWarn, Ultraviolet, AntiVandal and other such anti-vandal tools, I'd gladly accept pointers/suggestions as to which would be believed the best course of action to pursue should I be granted the opportunity to use rollback. Please let me know if you have any other questions, comments or concerns.] TheMysteriousShadeheart (talk) 18:11, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
TheMysteriousShadeheart, thanks, hm. I didn't have a look at all examples, but the first 5 don't really look like the kind of obvious vandalism that can be rollbacked without an edit summary explaining the revert. I'm looking for five (but really just five) diffs where you undid obvious malicious editing, not someone's editing tests, not someone mistaking a talk page for a forum without wanting to harm the project. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:14, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the fast reply - I believe the following twelve (12) instances all qualify (I've bolded the requested five): these can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. TheMysteriousShadeheart (talk) 22:33, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
The list of dragon names removed in Special:Diff/1252791870 doesn't look like vandalism; same for Special:Diff/1222922750, where additionally the unnecessary changing of a phrasing was surely not meant to cause damage. I'll decline this request for now. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Understood - thanks for your consideration. I'll get more practice combating vandalism first; hopefully my editing slate will be more up to grade in the future! ^^ TheMysteriousShadeheart (talk) 02:35, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Thanks – do feel free to ask again, perhaps in a month or so, simply on my talk page or here; if you choose this page here, please let me know and I'll either grant the request or leave the decision to someone else. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:29, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm reapplying for rollback rights to continue supporting anti-vandalism efforts on Wikipedia after a misunderstanding that led to a false blocking and false accusations of violating WP:NOSHARE. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of articles and have prior experience using tools like Twinkle and Ultraviolet to tag and revert edits involving unnecessary soures or clear vandalism, often from IP address and new users.

Having rollback rights would allow me to contribute more effectively by streamlining the process of reverting disruptive edits and vandalism. I understand the responsibility that comes with this permission and I am fully prepared to take accountability for any incorrect reverts. I will be greater caution moving forward and use any mistakes as learning opportunities. Royiswariii Talk! 06:53, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

I am here to reapply for Rollback permission. I used to be pretty active when it came to patrolling Recent Changes but due to some password mismanagement I accidentally got locked out my own account. I was previously rejected by User:Fastily (I wish them a happy retirement) who told me to be active in Recent changes for a month or so more before requesting rollback permissions again. It hasn't been exactly a month but I think I have done enough to prove that I won't use rollback perms to vandalise or otherwise disrupt Wikipedia. I'm requesting rollback perms to use tools like AntiVandal or Huggle and have thoroughly read Wikipedia:Rollback policy. Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 10:49, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
