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

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.

    Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Act 2024

    Reason: The article has been the subject of persistent vandalism which editors have had to remove. It is likely, given that the Act has just passed, and given the nature of the Act which is to remove asylum seekers from the United Kingdom to Rwanda, it will persist in being the victim of vandalism in the near future. I would propose an interim

    WP:SILVERLOCK be imposed. I will also add that, as can be seen from the history page, some of the comments appear to be racist, inflammatory and scurrilous. It is sad people hold these views. UnicornSherbert (talk

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    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.

    Draft:William Bishop

    Reason: Create-protecting the generic form of this name in draft space is not needed, and may interfere with submission of a draft for someone other than the current subject. Multiple forms of the name are already create-protected in article space, and some in draft space also. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:09, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    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.

    User:SafariScribe

    Hi and thanks for looking. I'do love to volunteer in patrolling recent changes as well as other aspect of vandalism. My previous request was followed by my bad in lacking

    civility over IPs, which Dan Cherek advised me. For atleast close/a month, I've taken the advice and sometimes instead of warning, I write messages to the editor in question. I'm not perfect but will do my best in patrolling Special:RecentChanges. I have maintained at least in a good capability, a track record of consistently notifying editors after reverting. Thanks for considering me also.— Safari ScribeEdits! Talk!
