The article lists under US casualties that there have been "42 aircraft lost", which is inaccurate as the sourced article states "42 aircraft lost or damaged", as it mentions examples such as an F-35 being damaged by missile fire, but surviving.

I have created 35+ articles and intend to continue creating more. I believe my article creation history demonstrates familiarity with Wikipedia's content and sourcing policies, and so I am requesting the autopatrolled right to help reduce workload for New Pages Patrol.LivingLife1976 (talk) 11:25, 1 August 2026 (UTC) LivingLife1976 (talk) 11:25, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) @LivingLife1976 Kismet Ke Here Phere created in mainspace on 20 July, tagged for additional citations the following day, orphan-tagged on 30 July (not a big deal), and moved by you to draftspace on 1 August "for further improvement", less than four hours before this request was filed. I believe this indicates that at least one very recent creation benefited from the scrutiny this permission would have bypassed.
- But then, on 16 February Diannaa removed 1,113 bytes from Draft:Rawal Jagmal, identifying the removed material as copied from a published gazetteer. I would not treat this incident alone as decisive, especially given your subsequent works, but copyright familiarity is directly relevant as an autopatrolled user. So, I'd recommend waiting for a longer clean record of fully prepared mainspace creations, after all, that is what this bit is about; it doesn't make you capable of anything special on-wiki. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:10, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
- I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb here and call this
done temporarily, for three months. The tagging doesn't seem like a big deal to me, since none of the sentences in the article were unsourced at the time. The copyright issue is a slightly bigger deal, but the problem doesn't seem to have recurred in the last six months, and I didn't see anything worth noting in my spot-checks.LivingLife1976, I would encourage you to take note of the feedback Vanderwaalforces has left for you, but keep up the good work! Please re-request here a few days before the grant is set to expire, or leave a message on my talk page. —TechnoSquirrel69 (talk) 05:10, 14 August 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks TechnoSquirrel69! I'm already keeping Vanderwaalforces feedback in mind. I'll make sure to keep the quality up and reach out after 3 months :)

Hi, I have contributed a number of articles in the past (User:MinorProphet#List of articles wot I did do) and have a backlog of drafts (User:MinorProphet/Draft subpages), some of which are closer to completion than others. It would do wonders for my self-confidence (I had a stroke around 10 years ago) if I felt that I could post relatively worthwhile articles directly into mainspace as before. Best wishes to all behind the scenes, MinorProphet (talk) 14:43, 12 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hey MinorProphet, it doesn't look to me like you've created an article in a couple of years. Since autopatrolled is meant primarily as a way to reduce the workload of new pages patrol, it would be redundant in this case. Note that you do not need the permission to create articles directly in mainspace. And while I sympathize with wanting a bit of a confidence boost, that's not what this permission is for, so I'm going to mark this as
not done. Might I suggest writing something for Did you know? I can tell you from experience that there is a sense of pride in seeing your work on the Main Page. :) —TechnoSquirrel69 (talk) 17:56, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

I'm shooting my shot because I've had multiple occasions, including one within just the last few hours, when I had to wait for an administrator to delete a redirect so I could move a draft I'd been working on to mainspace. I'd like to cut out the middle human and be able to delete redirects by simply moving over them – certainly it would be one less addition to the admin workload. I admittedly don't have a ton of experience with requested moves, so I'll understand if this request is declined on those grounds. If this request is granted, then I promise I'll be careful with the new tools. Dylan620 (he/they/she • talk • edits) 01:26, 9 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I've been fairly active recently at WP:RM, and have been closing elapsed requests a decent amount recently. I would like page mover rights in order to close requests more easily, specifically closing round-robin moves and mass-moves without having to request help at WP:RM/TR. I would also like to help close requests at WP:RM/TR, and this would also be helpful for draftifying when doing NPP.
I meet the editing requirements, and have not had any blocks or 3RR issues. Axolitl (talk | contribs) 22:03, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

For now requesting mainly for two scenarios. It's very annoying when I have to wait up to a day for a single revision redirect to be deleted in order to accept an article at AFC, and the second is draftifying at new page patrol. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 19:12, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights I am formally requesting Pending Changes Reviewer privileges to seamlessly integrate my high-volume anti-vandalism workflows with Wikipedia's protected page queues. Currently, I operate a semi-automated monitoring setup that aggregates live IRC feed data and cross-references recent changes against severe page-blanking heuristics. However, encountering articles under pending changes protection introduces an artificial operational latency, forcing me to manually bypass the interface to execute standard reversals.Granting me this permission will allow me to instantly process pending revisions directly from my dashboard, optimizing my throughput during high-traffic vandalism spikes.

I would like to request Rollback permissions firstly in order to make use of tools like Huggle & AntiVandal. Secondly rollback permissions will allow me to increase the speed of my workflow as most of it consists of RC patrolling edits by unregistered & new accounts. My contribution history demonstrates that I have multiple months of RC Patrol experience and no history of edit warring. At the time of writing this I have 656 live edits of which 220 are in the Main namespace and 262 are in the User Talk namespace, this shows my track record of consistently notifying editors when reverting their edits.

I would like to request my Rollback rights. My previous request on June 15 was declined because I was blocked for making disruptive edits. Since I'm autoconfirmed, I use Twinkle to revert the edits which was vandalized by the IPs (or later TAs). Thomasfan1916[built buses?] 20:15, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Over the course of the past few months, I have served as a CVUA instructor, and have continued using antivandalism tools like Wikishield and CVPI to prevent vandalism from infecting the wiki. 「Norellia.sh」(talk) 08:29, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

I would like to request rollback rights. I check the recent changes page a couple times a day and I use Twinkle currently to revert vandalism. I have over 200 mainspace edits as well as extended-confirmed permissions. I always use warning templates after reverting edits and make reports to AIV when necessary. Rollback would help me look through recent changes much more effectively with tools such as Interceptor or WikiShield. If not permanent, a month-long trial run of rollback would also work, so that I could reapply eventually. Bungle491 (talk) 06:27, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

I have antivandalism experience and I am requesting rollback permissions to be better equipped to fight vandals. My track record shows that I'm good at differentiating between vandalism and good faith edits, and responding accordingly. - Otherwise (Talk?) 02:50, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights I have 900 edits now, which a lot of them are reverting vandalism and ensuring pages follow Wikipedia's quality guidelines. I feel that being able to rollback pages/edits will help me ensure that Wikipedia's quality standards are being met, especially when a user has made multiple poor-quality edits. MathMan4 (talk) 05:57, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
- Having rollback rights would also allow me to use AntiVandal, which would be useful for reverting vandalism. MathMan4 (talk) 06:49, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights, I mainly edit reality shows and there are constantly fan edits. I have to revert in most cases to stable one but it unfortunately also includes some good edits. Overall, extra hard work. Rollback will definitely help me. :) Tenshi Uisu (talk) 16:05, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Articles are often subjected to persistent vandalism by unregistered IP users or even newly registered users. Such edits are frequently spotted while patrolling recent changes. Reverting these edits using the Twinkle gadget is quite cumbersome. I know when to use rollback. Mathew D'Marco (talk) 17:33, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

I have done a lot of anti-vandalism work in recent weeks but have been frustrated by my inability to be able to restore a previous version due to conflicting errors after vandalism.
I consistently notify users and reply to their messages, and try to assist them and tell them what they have done wrong.
I understand the uses of this tool and how it is not for content disputes, and I would use this tool responsibly.
I have taken feedback from my last request, and I believe I am now in a place to apply.
Thanks for your consideration. Equivalent-Text2598 (talk) 22:39, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

I have been doing some recent change patrolling over the past few weeks and think having access to native rollback could aid in this - would also give me the chance to try some other tools that require rollback permissions. IAmNetx (talk) 14:52, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights am writing to formally request rollback permissions to better support my active duties as a senior counter-vandalism specialist and lead field mentor. Over the past year, I have spearheaded advanced operational deployments using high-efficiency, multi-threaded frameworks like Huggle, Twinkle, and RedWarn. Furthermore, I routinely execute high-speed rollbacks using a proprietary, low-latency API script that cross-references live ClueBot NG server streams to instantly catch coordinated page-blanking and heavy spam injections.

Template editor

- Previous request (March 2026)
I recently possessed the template editor right, but it expired on July 1. I would like to request permanent template editor rights. I have met all the criteria for granting. I also am willing to prove I can be responsible again with possessing the template editor right permanently. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 05:13, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- Could you point to a few examples of where you have used the right on high-risk templates in the past few months? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:35, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- Yes. I have used the template editor right on Module:Gridiron color/data & Module:College color/data, which are both high-risk templates. Here's the edit diff from May 22, 2026 from when I previously had the WP:TPE right and used it to change the HTML hex color codes for the Canadian Football League (CFL)'s Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Here's the edit diff from April 29, 2026 from when I previously had the template editor right and used it to change the historical HTML color codes for the National Football League (NFL)'s Dallas Cowboys. Here's the edit diff from March 29, 2026 from when I previously had the template editor right and used it to change the URL source reference for the California Golden Bears. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 03:40, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- Are the examples I've provided sufficient enough? The main reason why I'm requesting WP:TPE right is so I may be able to make changes to high risk templates such as Module:Gridiron color/data & Module:College color/data. I'm happy to answer any & all other questions. CharlesEditor23 (talk) 16:47, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
- I will note I haven't had a chance to look at them yet; please be patient. Primefac (talk) 21:53, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
- I will note I am somewhat concerned about a lack of forethought and/or sandboxing, specifically:
- Special:Diff/1348435472 and Special:Diff/1348440671, made 30 minutes apart
- Special:Diff/1358471990 ("testing adding historical codes") and Special:Diff/1358490055 ("never mind")
- That being said, there does appear to be a reasonable amount of sandboxing for some of these changes (e.g. Special:Diff/1348021134), and I am very appreciative of the descriptive edit summaries (With a courtesy ping to WikiOriginal-9 who edits the same modules without any summaries). As I think I've said before, no one is perfect (my talk page is a perfect example of that), and (so far) no one seems to have noticed or cared about the occasionally-rapid-reverts of changes. I'd like to wait to hear what MSGJ thinks about this since they asked the initial follow-up question, but I think at the moment I am tentatively an accept. Primefac (talk) 13:20, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! My bot CutlassBot is applying the {{Deprecated archive}} template (recently protected). I’d like template editor permission while the bot is doing its run to apply the template so that I can handle any issues that come up for example, I have one change request pending at Module talk:Deprecated archive. I don’t intend to change any other high risk templates during this run. This is my first template so I don’t meet the guideline criteria. Alternatively, maybe we remove the protection from the module, but I think it’s lower risk to grant me the editor privileges for 3 months. Thanks for considering!

- If pppery is okay with it I'll just drop the protection for a bit; you're the creator and so I assume that you'll keep a good eye on it. Primefac (talk) 22:15, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
- I was doing a periodic batch check of all templates with at least 5000 transclusions, and don't have much stake in this specific template. I wish we applied more categorical rules and had less of a culture of exceptions when applying protections based on transclusion count, but for better or worse we do have a culture of exceptions so there's no harm in adding one more (in other words, lowering the protection is fine with me). * Pppery * in solidarity 01:12, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- Dw31415, is the above satisfactory? Primefac (talk) 09:11, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- I think the requester needs Module:Deprecated archive unprotected. The template page should probably be TE-protected, since it just calls the module and there is no reason to change it. I have implemented an edit request for the module, but the requester, who created the module, will probably need to debug it (carefully, since it is transcluded in 20K pages now). – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:37, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
