It's an individual called sidx1. This is fine. Their content isn't fine, but as a username it's ok. Secretlondon (talk) 17:16, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
Not a violation of the username policy. Real names are permitted except when they imply that the editor is a specific living person they are not. Consider filing a report at the conflict of interest noticeboard. Secretlondon (talk) 17:23, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
@Secretlondon They are promoting their presence on Scratch, which makes me think this is a promotional name. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 17:30, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
As a username this is okay, as per policy. Is it self-promotional? Absolutely. It's no different from spam under their real name. Secretlondon (talk) 17:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
Doesn’t this come under WP:SPAMNAME?. Their name is promotional and they are making promotional edits. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 17:36, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
The policy you have mentioned says it is not considered promotional “unless the user makes promotional edits within Wikipedia about themselves, their projects, etc” which they have. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 19:03, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
It's a pseudonym. This is fine as a username. Secretlondon (talk) 17:14, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

They are promoting the fact that they are a musician as when you search on google, the artist is the first thing that comes up. Even if it is a pseudonym, it is still being used for promotion. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 17:32, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm requesting rollback rights to enhance my ability to fight vandalism. I Would like to try out AntiVandal tool. I'm a Mobile user, so Rollback will be very useful for me. I'm active in recent changes, pending changes, and new pages patrol, and I understand rollback is for clear vandalism cases. I'll use it responsibly. Here is my Undo/Revert History : [1]
I'm requesting the rights to fight Vandalism and use the Anti-vandal tool. I was declined last time as I had accidentally mistaken a level 4 warning to be 4im. I have also recieved a barnstar for the recent changes patrolling. XiphoidVigour||⚔|⚔|| 09:24, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([2]). — MusikBottalk 09:30, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
Not done I see you recently applied for and gained Pending Changes Reviewer. Some of your reviews suggest there is some room for improvement [3] before issuing additional permissions. In that instance you manually accepted very clear vandalism. I think another admin would likely want to see improvements and review how you continue to get on with pending changes reviewer in a few months time. Seddontalk 01:34, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
@Seddon I'm sorry, but I don't remember even visiting that page. I think some one has compromised my account. Till then can you please remove my reviewer permission please. Thanks. XiphoidVigour⚔ 16:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
I'm requesting rollback rights to speed up my fight against vandalism. I have about 1,000 edits involving reverting vandalism. I'm also interested in tools such as AntiVandal. TheM1sty (talk) 17:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
I have been patrolling PendingChanges and RecentChanges for the past 6/7 months. I've read through WP:Rollback and fully understood it. I'm aware that Rollback should only be used in ObviousVandalism. I have a good record of informing editors on their talk pages about their edits I rollback patrolling at pending changes/recentChanges.
I'm familiar with some Wikipedia policies, including BLP, 5Pillor, BRV, Disruptive editing, Vandalism, and COI. I'm competent in reporting true vandals at WP:AIV, sockpuppets at WP:SPI, edit warring at WP:AN/3, and other issues at WP:ANI.This permission would help me fight against vandalism and will make this task easier and quicker to carry out.

Not done Given the active topic ban, something you should have addressed, and that you were only recently [4] given pending changes reviewer. I think that at minimum you should see out the remainder of the topic ban, show an ability to not return to the patterns of behaviour that lead to your sanctions and prove out your ability to effectively use pending changes reviewer.
