I made a request last month to help with work I was doing on a college basketball template, and was told to wait a month due to issues in the changes I made. Since then, there have been no issues, and I have some other copyediting tasks I want to complete for other subject areas that this tool would help me with, in addition to the college basketball work I have been doing.

Extended confirmedUser:Happypenguins82
Hello, I am reapplying for the Extended Confirmed permission following the resolution of an Arbitration Enforcement request the AE result from January 2026. My EC permission was previously revoked due to 'permission gaming' and a shift into contentious topics. According to the AE result, I was instructed to wait at least 30 days and complete 500 additional constructive edits before reapplying. It has now been over three months, and I’ve reached that milestone with 500 new edits. Since the initial block was removed, I’ve taken the advice I received here initial unblock request to heart and I’ve been using the "Preview" button every time before I publish changes just to double check my self, to avoid making too many small edits. I’ve focused on trying to know and better understand wikipedia, which i find fascinating, i joined a couple of projects, such as merge, redirect, short descriptions, and discovered how important it is to perform these maintenance edits to keep the encyclopedia better and safe, i plan on joining more projects, and improve my understanding of wikipedia. I'd appreciate it if you could reassess my edits and consider removing my current restrictions, and restore my EC. I would not repeat my previous mistakes.

User:OberstFischer1945
Hello, I am OberstFischer1945 requesting for extended confirmed permission. I have been editing on Wikipedia since 17 December 2025 and as of requesting this, I currently have 370 edits.

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights I'd like to help clear the current backlog by participating in the May backlog drive.

I'd like to request PM in light of the WP:MAY26 NPP drive coming up. I mostly want PM for move-over-redirect to avoid G6 waits for AFC and NPP work, and to avoid needing R2 for draftification.

RollbackUser:DiscoursesonLivvy
I have about a month of experience in recent changes patrolling, including consistently warning/notifying editors when reverting malicious or unconstructive edits. I've been using Twinkle and UV, and I feel like I'm comfortable enough with the process to expand my arsenal and try out fast diff browsers and tools like Huggle, Interceptor, and AntiVandal. I have read and familiarized myself with WP:RBK, and I'm also a PCR, if that matters. DiscoursesonLivvy (talk · contribs) 17:51, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
User:RandomPerson238
I've been reverting vandalism for about 2 months now. I'm asking for rollback rights as I've been using RedWarn and Twinkle, but I want try some other tools such as CVPI. I have made some mistakes but I've fixed them as soon as I realised. I have no history of edit warring, and almost always leave warnings on the user's talk pages. RandomPerson238 21:58, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
User:Starlet147
Reason for requesting rollback rights: I do counter vandalism work, and have edited a lot more since I last requested. I'd like this so I can use the faster tools like Huggle and Interceptor. I also recently completed CVUA training. Please, may I have Rollback? Starlet! (Need to talk?) (Library) (Sandbox) 00:20, 2 May 2026 (UTC) User:Rht bd
