After reading the feedback I've received, I've decided to withdraw this request for now.

== Vwregewrrergrge/VWR (Global Patroller) ==
G'day, my name is Vwregewrrergrge, though you're welcome to call me VWR. I am a bureaucrat on the largest wiki on WikiOasis (Italian Brainrot Wiki), and a Miraheze contributor with experience across multiple wikis. I actively maintain and contribute to several wikis including the Prehistoric Wiki, the Minecraft Wiki, and the Mathematics Wiki. As it stands, WikiOasis currently has no global patrollers, and I believe that is a gap worth filling. I am volunteering for this role out of genuine concern for the safety and quality of the platform, and to properly support staff in keeping it safe. Underage users are a serious issue on WikiOasis, they return repeatedly despite being blocked, and having a dedicated global patroller reporting directly to staff would make handling these cases significantly easier. On average, a blocked underage user creates around 5 alt accounts, and I have experience detecting them through patterns in writing style, user page formatting, and also grammar. I take this application seriously and I hope it is received the same way, and I am not trying to act like a security guard, what is this nonsense, Ii anyone is willing to guide me through any responsibilities associated with the role, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. [[User:Vwregewrrergrge|VWR]] ([[User talk:Vwregewrrergrge|talk]]) 2:40, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

*{{oppose}}. You have solicited PII from suspected underage users. That is simply inappropriate, and this is a matter of public record. [[User:Justarandomamerican|Justarandomamerican]] ([[User talk:Justarandomamerican|talk]]) 14:57, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
*:I understand where you're coming from, I shouldn't have asked for that information and I won't do it again, I now know the right way to handle it. Sorry. [[User:Vwregewrrergrge|Vwregewrrergrge]] ([[User talk:Vwregewrrergrge|talk]]) 15:02, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
*{{oppose|strong}} users should not be acting as vigilantes, especially not on the matter of child safety. They should report it to safety and not be soliciting their personal information through the platform. To be frank I am surprised that more action was not taken at the time of the incident, however this is definitely a no from me. --'''[[User:Zippy|zippy]]'''[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]''' ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 15:01, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
*:Understood, and I respect your concern, looking back I should have immediately reported it to staff rather than taking matters into my own hands, and I genuinely regret that. This role is exactly what would stop me from ever needing to do that again since I'd have the proper tools and authority to handle it the right way. There were some mistakes I have made, do not hate me for that. There are no Global patrollers. [[User:Vwregewrrergrge|Vwregewrrergrge]] ([[User talk:Vwregewrrergrge|talk]]) 15:04, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
*::The fact there are no global patrollers is not a reason to support your request. You have been acting as a vigilante against underage users, and then proceed to list that as a reason why you want the bit. You do not need the global patroller tools to make a safety report. --'''[[User:Zippy|zippy]]'''[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]''' ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 15:06, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
*::Global patroller has no tools involved for this process. --'''[[User:Raidarr|raidarr]]''' '''('''[[User_talk:Raidarr|📡]]''')''' 15:07, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
*:::You're right, I don't need the tools to report, but having them would let me help WikiOasis much faster and more effectively, and that's genuinely all I want to do, along with helping with pages, stubs, technical problems if necessary, I just want to provide WikiOasis with help.

*::::I don't think this is going anywhere — Global patroller does not have any tools that particularly enhance the ability for someone to provide technical support nor edit pages --'''[[User:Zippy|zippy]]'''[[User talk:Zippy|bonzo]]''' ([[Special:Contributions/Zippy|c]] • [[Special:CentralAuth/Zippy|ca]]) 15:16, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
