Rollback

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
Shortcuts
Please review Wikipedia:Rollback before making a request. Applicants with fewer than 200 mainspace edits are unlikely to be granted this right. More importantly, applicants must have a measurable track record of counter-vandalism and no recent history of edit warring. The counter-vandalism training program is available if you wish to gain experience in handling vandalism.

I have been patrolling the Recent Changes page for a bit now, and have been reverting vandalism and other problematic edits made. I believe if I have the rollback permission, I'll be able to fixed vandalism faster than before.

 Not done: A permission request after two weeks of editing, asking for a further increase in speed, without even yet having met the formal requirement of 200 mainspace edits – sorry, but no. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:44, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I love how you say "without even yet having met the formal requirement of 200 mainspace edits", even though I was 3 edits away when I submitted the request, about 20 edits over when you declined the request, and how there isn't any "formal" requirement; it's just "you may not get it if you have less". I find this situation so funny. Lmao JMVR1 🗪 🖉 📫 14:01, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps "formal recommendation" would have been a more accurate term, but the general idea remains the same. I had to ask you to remove an external rickrolling Youtube link from your signature which you had added to all your vandalism warnings until then. That strengthened the opinion of "too early; needs to take more time to gain experience". The reply tone and immediate re-request add to an image of immaturity in my mind even further. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 05:21, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Much of wiki-energies are spent in countering vandalism on Wikipedia. It’s not been long that I came to know of this fact. My sudden and curious visits on recent changes page in the last few days made me realize the massive scale at which vandalism is being practiced on Wikipedia by so many heartless (and indeed sarcastic) people from around the globe. I know my growing interest in this field will eventually fade away within couple of days. But I could extend a helping hand whenever I could to protect this knowledge repository that I believe to be a charity to the humanity at large. That, of course, is limited to the confines of my editing interests (I won’t cross this line for a conviction I dearly hold). Although Twinkle (the tool that I am using now) is pretty useful, an attached right, I think, would make it a lot more easy. I could even use Huggle, which I really want to. And yes, I am fully aware of rollback user right and its application on Wikipedia. Thanks. Mosesheron (talk) 12:21, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I forgot to mention something. This was the only instance that I came close to an edit warring in my entire experience. Anyway, this discussion that I have erased from talk page peacefully resolved the issue. Mosesheron (talk) 14:55, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Not right now. I just granted you PCR and you only started into vandal patrol less than a week ago. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 05:46, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Amanda (aka DQ). I was aware that I had less anti vandalism activities when I requested for it. Hence, a long request. Nevertheless, you had quite a fair amount of reverts before you while you declined it. On PCR, I didn’t know I cannot request for two rights simultaneously. I am sorry for it then. The reason I wanted rollback right in particular was Huggle as I wanted to use more precise edit summaries for some edits and more specific template warnings. I don’t know exactly how it does work. But I have seen it. And I thought, I could figure it out. Most of the time Twinkle even fails to open a user page after a revert is performed. It seems I will have to go along with it for few more months. This is not a request to revaluate your position. Thank you again. Mosesheron (talk) 14:38, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mosesheron: Not necessarily months, but just a reviewable track record of like 3 weeks is usually what I look for. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 19:22, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ashleyyoursmile

I would like to request the rollback right for reverting vandalism (not good faith edits) and disruptive edits that I often come across while editing pages. Thank you. Ashleyyoursmile! 09:57, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I think twinkle will continue to do you just fine with reverting. You don't show any particular interesting in warning templates, and therefore I can't endorse a blanket rollback. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 05:49, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Slykos

I am requesting rollback because despite being on Wikipedia only 10 days, I have knowledge of how to fight vandalism, made 500+ edits total, including 200+ in the mainspace. I am capable of reverting vandalism, as I patrol Recent Changes several hours of the day. I am trustworthy with this permission, and have only gotten into 1 dispute, which has since been resolved. I use Twinkle on many of my edits, I use the Rollback buttons on that gadget. I am constantly reverting vandalism, posting warnings, and reporting on WP:AIV, with an impeccable track record on it. I also would like to use Huggle and STiki, tools only rollbacks can use. Slykos (talk) 18:40, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Automated comment This user has 176 edits in the mainspace. — MusikBot talk 18:40, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is incorrect, as MusikBot gets the stats from here, and there is a lag, and has been reported on-site. Slykos (talk) 18:55, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Not this early with cross application for rights. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 05:43, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP: When would be an appropriate time to re-request this right? I now have 300+ edits in mainspace. Slykos (talk • contribs • rights) 17:49, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Slykos, time is a factor. An experience of less than two weeks is not the "measurable track record of counter-vandalism" that is necessary for a proper evaluation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:02, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:ChipWolf

I’m an extended confirmed user & pending changes reviewer, ocassionally spending time here on enwiki fighting vandalism. I feel well acquainted with our policies and would appreciate the rights to more efficiently contribute in the counter vandalism efforts. ~ Chip🐺 20:05, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I don't think you have a solid understanding of what vandalism is vs. isn't and what you need to provide edit summaries for. I found several concerning reverts/messages within the past 50 edits. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 05:54, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @AmandaNP: I have hundreds of counter-vandalism edits in mainspace, all primarily via Twinkle. Twinkle automatically provides most edit summaries and additional information is appended in situations where the gadget allows me to and I find it to be helpful or necessary. I can count two minor revert mistakes, both in January and both prior to my previous request for rollback [1] where I was asked by Ymblanter to re-apply in 3 months; since then I have had no complaints brought to my attention. This is the first I'm hearing of my work being wholly inaccurate and I would appreciate some more detail on what you find concerning; feel free to use my talk page where it may be more appropriate to discuss this. Obviously I don't want to continue causing concern, my intentions are to effectively contribute to counter-vandalism efforts and build an encyclopedia. I request kindly you reconsider your position. ~ Chip🐺 02:35, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ChipWolf: There are several edits that give me pause and cause for concern. You warned a user for MoS issues based on Special:Diff/991772790. I don't see how all of those changes are an MoS violation. For Special:Diff/991775488 you gave a 3RR warning. This is a BLP issue and would have been proper to use that message. You marked these edits as test edits. I can't see how they are test edits, and you would need to explain properly why you are reverting. For Special:Diff/991773277, you gave a 3RR warning. If you are going to engage in a revert yourself, don't warn people about edit warring. Provide them with the proper reasoning for not making the edit in the first place instead of threatening them with a block. With all these edits, it seems like you are either going to fast, or are using anti-vandal tools to revert someone without proper reasoning, and that's why I am concerned. I got this from this period of time before I marked your requested declined. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 19:17, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kevo327

Recently, I have been reverting vandalism while patrolling the recent changes page, and after seeing the extent of the problem of vandalism I've decided to spent a good part of my time on Wikipedia to protect pages from vandalism. The rollback right will help me greatly in efforts to remove vandalism and also giving me access to Huggle, from which I'll be able to fight vandalism more vigilantly. - Kevo327 (talk) 22:50, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You only started vandal patrol yesterday. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 05:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:JMVR1

I would like to submit another request, as apparently, being a couple edits away when submitting and being over the amount needed when reviewed means an instant decline. However, I'd probably do the same if I were them. I'd just like to request again, because I am now over the necessary amount of edits, and I want to see what Huggle is like, and what it offers that is different from Twinkle and RedWarn.

{{onhold}} -- Amanda (aka DQ) 06:07, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) I don't like commenting on RFP pages for a multitude of reasons, but I'm afraid I must express my opposition to this request until you get more experience per the way you handled being declined last time. Essentially doing the digital equivalent of laughing in an admins face isn't exactly the most civil IMO. Your number of edits wasn't just your only decline reason, and each one of these requests is down to admin discretion, which really shows your inexperience so far. While it isn't up to me, if your request is declined again, I say keep editing and reading up on policies, and try again in a month or so, or more if the reviewing admin feels appropriate. I had my first rollback request declined too, so it's nothing to stress about, especially when really the only benefit you're getting from it is being able to run Huggle. 🎄🎄 Ed talk! 🎄🎄 17:57, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:DRCNSINDIA

I would like to request the rollback right for reverting vandalism and disruptive edits that I often come across while editing pages. I'm experienced on this. I don't know whether this is my first or second request. I'm an extended confirmed user. Thank you 🇮🇳DRCNSINDIA (talk) 11:03, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([2]). — MusikBot talk 11:10, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes correct.🇮🇳DRCNSINDIA (talk) 11:16, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Insufficient experience. The two times you've used undo on someone else's edits you were reverted yourself. The fact that you don't use edit summaries most of the time makes it hard to assess any good work you may be doing. You seem determined to demonstrate a lack of understanding of Wikipedia today? Cabayi (talk) 11:52, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Cabayi, I will give edit summary or not, I will see to it. Please don't colaborate many reasons. I don't like people who show arrogance to me. I accept your reason. Thank you.🇮🇳DRCNSINDIA (talk) 07:06, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Suneye1

Hello, I have been editing for quite a while and most of my edits come form patrolling my watch-list of nearly 2000 articles and from patrolling related changes from Tamil film categories (which are usually prone to disruption). I also often patrol the recent changes log. I need the Rollback permission as I'am willing to contribute using Huggle. Thank you. SUN EYE 1 12:42, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want to revert vandalism more quickly rollback rights テリヤキ (Talk With Me) 17:27, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Automated comment This user has 13 edits in the mainspace. — MusikBot talk 17:30, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 13 edits to the mainspace, I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. — JJMC89 (T·C) 04:42, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ham105

I've done gnome-type reverts for several years including talk page warnings [3] but in some instances rollback would be useful. -- Ham105 (talk) 23:26, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Cairo2k18

I was put on a probationary period for rollback, which has just expired and I am now applying for indefinite rollback rights. Kind Regards. Cairo2k18 • (talk) • (contribs) 03:09, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
