Hi. I have over 28,000 edits, over 550 new articles created and over 350 page moves performed. I have primarily moved pages for obvious page name corrections; no controversial move performed by me. I need this right since at times, due to already existing page name, it gets impossible for me to perform page move. Thanks, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 10:27, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Please provide 3-4 last Requested moves you have closed. --Tito Dutta (talk) 12:08, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also you seemed to have just come back from an editing hiatus to request this userright. Could you explain? --

   , Hatcollector?? Are you out of your mind? In 2016, I have 5,604 edits which is 24 times more than what you have edited in the same year AND more that what you have made since you stared editing in mid 2014. Also, I have performed seven times more page-moves than you. Be sure of what you are talking about.
2. DeltaQuad, I was NOT away from editing; check the statistics (have edited every month for past 7 months). I have life outside Wikipedia also, which requires me to work and travel.
3. WP:RM a prerequisite for this access? Sorry if I missed reading this on WP:PMR. As far as the prerequisites are concerned, what I understood was a user needs to have 3000 edits with > 6 months old account (free of blocks and 3RR). Then the call needs to be taken by an admin (you in this case) if he / she feels that the user is competent. Let me know. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 06:59, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply

The problem is, and I should have mentioned this to begin with, is I don't think you understand what this userright does. This right will not allow you to delete pages that already exist. You will still need an administrator for that. --

• DeltaQuad, I never used the word delete in my statement. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 09:43, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Then what exactly do you mean by "I need this right since at times, due to already existing page name, it gets impossible for me to perform page move."? If a page already exists, you can't move the page over top of it with this right. You need an admin. --

• WP:SWAP. Does that require admin rights too? If not, then problem is solved. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 09:57, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply

• Interesting. I've honestly never heard of swaping. I've done loads of histmerges, and copy and paste fixes, but never a swap, at least that I remember. Thanks for the reply. I'll fully review the request when i'm awake, without an objection to another admin doing so in the meantime. --

• Thanks for your time DeltaQuad and have a good night (or morning - whatever is applicable). Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 10:10, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Administrator note I don't have time to review this request in detail, but just wanted to leave a note that regularly needing to swap pages is an acceptable reason to request this right. A round-robin or swap move is one of the uses that received substantial discussion when creating this right and in the immediate aftermath, and it was something we expected page movers to use the right for. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 01:09, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• DeltaQuad and BU Rob13, incidentally I came across this AfD that needed a SWAP (check my comment in the AfD). Since you both are admins, can someone look into this? Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 06:57, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 Done --

I'm requesting page mover permissions be added to my account. I have been editing on Wikipedia for over 4 years with 41,000+ edits, with no history of being blocked or edit warring. I work quite a bit in the

Drafts space crafting potential/future articles for the Television and Film projects. Having this permission would be very helpful in moving drafts out to the mainspace when many times a redirect in the mainspace is preventing a clean move from the draft space. Thank you. - 22:37, 19 November 2016 (UTC) Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:37, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply
