I have a good understanding of policies of wikipedia and I am currently patrolling new pages and occasionally reverting vandalism and unconstructive edits. I am requesting the rollback right because I want to focus on reverting vandalism and unconstructive edits beside patrolling new pages. Supdiop (talk) 15:10, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I have been looking over your contribs and your talk page and I do not believe your understanding of Wikipedia policies is solid as you claim. You've made somel deletion nominations that were apparently inappropriate, and you created an article that met multiple speedy deletion criteria as well as not even being in English. Although these are seperate issues from vandalism patrolling, it seems you generally have a very shallow, incomplete understanding of the policies you have been attempting to uphold, which gives me no faith that you would use rollback appropriately. I would suggest getting some experience manually dealing with vandals, and taking advantage of WP:CVU to help you gain an adequate understanding of the correct methods for dealing with vandals.

I have been editing on wikipedia since one year and besides editing I have also written 12 valid articles. I am requesting the rollback right because I want to focus on reverting vandalism and unconstructive edits beside patrolling new pages. Sharif uddin (talk) 22:43, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there a reason that you have copied the last sentence of the previous request? Origamiteⓣⓒ 03:10, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Clear, civil communication is part of editing here, even when dealing with vandalism. Your style of cimmunication is muddled and seems to sometimes border on incivility. I also see no evidence you do anti-vandalism work now, despite the last sentnce of your request, which as noted above was clearly copied from the previous request.

User:CookieMonster755

I am requesting rollback rights (again) to further fight vandalism on Wikipedia. Having rollback rights would really help me revert vandalism I see in the recent edits page. I have re-read Wikipedia's vandalism information page and what vandalism is and is not. I currently use Twinkle, but rollback rights would further make the job easier, and would let me have access to Huggle, another create program for reverting vandalism. I also have practiced at the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy. I have about 1,800+ main space edits and have rebuilt my Wikipedia reputation. I currently have pending-changes reviewer rights. Excited to join the new community of rollback users on Wikipedia. Cheers. CookieMonster755 (talk) 03:18, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Nakon: any comment on this? They've come back after the absolute bare minimum timeframe you told them to wait and seem a little too eager to possess this flag. It kind of concerns me. On the other hand, the vandalism reversions since the last request do look fine. I'll give you the chance to reassess. Swarm we ♥ our hive 05:05, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Swarm: I waited 2 weeks like Nakon said. If you still feel like I am not ready or your concerned, I understand. Whatever your answer is on the decision is fine with me :) Cheers. CookieMonster755 (talk) 14:21, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Swarm:, I'm OK with the time frame, I'll leave the decision to you. Nakon 23:48, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Swarm we ♥ our hive 02:48, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Praveenp

I recently happened to undo a lot of edits by single purpose accounts. Rollback button will be useful. :-) Praveen:talk 14:01, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Not done. Thank you for your recent work reverting the removal of content from articles. Your help here is definitely appreciated and I hope you'll continue to assist Wikipedia. However, rollback is for reverting obvious vandalism only, and while removing content without explanation is disruptive and unhelpful, it's does not qualify as obvious vandalism that should be rolled back. If you ever become involved in anti-vandalism work, please do come back and we'll be happy to review another request. If you're interested in getting involved, check out the Academy!

User:ZxxZxxZ

I don't patrol regularly, but I often edit using mobile with a not-so-fast Internet connection, so the tool is useful for me. I sometimes edit highly sensitive topics, but I will use it in a responsible manner (I already have administrator access in two other WM projects). Z 16:18, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Shibbolethink

I previously requested rollback but was told to come back in a few weeks after more substantial anti-vandalism contributions. I've been filtering recent changes on a substantial amount of articles since. Many of these edits are buried amongst other contributions, but here are some good stretches of anti-vandalism edits.

User:Kunalforyou

I am using Wikipedia for 2 months and now I believe I'm familiar with the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. I'm requesting the Rollback right because it'll help me to improve Wikipedia, and I believe I'm eligible to have the right as I've done more than 200 mainspace edits and most of them are reverted edits.

User:HydrocityFerocity

Hi, I'm a good Wikipedia contributor and have a very thorough understanding of Wikipedia's policies, and I'd like to help build the encyclopedia even more by being granted rollback rights. I'm asing for this request because a few days ago there was an editor who was vandalizing an article on the death of Freddie Gray (with edits such as this, this, this and this) and since I didn't have rollback, at times I had to undo every single one of his vandalism edits manually (not in one fell swoop, which is what rollback would let me do). It is for this reason, and also my desire to help keep down vandalism on Wikipedia, that I am requesting rollback. Thank you very much. :) HydrocityFerocity (talk) 19:33, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 70 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 when you have made 200 or so edits to articles you may wish to enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more.

User:DemocraticLuntz

I've made a very large number of edits over the last 5 years, the bulk of which have been reverting vandalism/unconstructive good faith edits via Wikipedia:STiki (the rest have been largely adding US Census data to cities and towns and I've created a handful of new pages for large corporations.
I was hoping to start using Wikipedia:Huggle for anti-vandalism purposes, but it apparently requires rollback, so I'm requesting it here. DemocraticLuntz (talk) 02:02, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: - An extraneous header or other inappropriate text was removed from this request. EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 02:24, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done, for now. I see very few user warnings when reverting edits. Please make sure to warn every editor that is being reverted as some may not read edit summaries. Feel free to ping me after a week and I'll review your activity again. Nakon 22:23, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:A guy saved by Jesus

I frequently patrol the recent changes, and when I find vandalism or other troublesome content, I'm very quick to revert it. Whenever I do this, I also always notify the editor about my revert, and if they continue vandalizing, I continue warning them, eventually reporting them if necessary. Having rollback would definitely make the reverting part more convenient for me, especially in cases where multiple edits that need to be reverted have been made. I noticed that the top of this page says that users with fewer than 200 mainspace edits are unlikely to get rollback, but I have more than double that, with a little over 400. A guy saved by Jesus (talk) 00:34, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done, for now. A review of your contributions shows that you have only been reverting vandalism for about three days. Please take some time to gain more experience using the non-rollback tools and feel free to ping me for a review in a few weeks. Thanks, Nakon 02:47, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:HydrocityFerocity

Hi, I'm a good Wikipedia contributor and have a very thorough understanding of Wikipedia's policies, and I'd like to help build the encyclopedia even more by being granted rollback rights. Note that I have over 200 edits now, and I think anyone can see by my editing style that I'm very experienced. I'm asing for this request because a few days ago there was an editor who was vandalizing an article on the death of Freddie Gray (with edits such as this, this, this and this) and since I didn't have rollback, at times I had to undo every single one of his vandalism edits manually (not in one fell swoop, which is what rollback would let me do).

Nakon, HydrocityFerocity is a WP:Sockpuppet anyway. He knows of Wikipedia's rules and guidelines, but severely misapplies them. Flyer22 (talk) 09:56, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I fought with vandals manually as they suggested and I think I have enough experience to have this right Supdiop (talk) 03:03, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Arjunkrishna90

I am using Wikipedia for nearly 2 years and now I believe I'm familiar with the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. I'm requesting the Rollback right because it'll help me to improve Wikipedia.I am mainly focused on articles based on Hinduism and especially on the characters of Hindu Mythology.I have good knowledge in Hinduism,Hindu Spirituality,Hindu Mythology ,Epics and Puranas.I created 5 new articles( Vyasa (title),Vijaya (bow),Maharathi (warrior),Brahmanda astra and Brahmashirsha astra) and rearranged ,edited many articles to meet Wikipedia standards. Its truly saddening in many cases when most of the good works and contributions are simply vandalized by some users because of their lack of knowledge and misconceptions.And most of the time its truly time consuming to revert the vandalized articles back to its authenticity.Thanks & Regards Arjunkrishna90 (talk) 06:23, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Thanks for your willingness to help. Judging your recent editing history, I'm not sure if you'd find rollback all that beneficial. If you want to make a simple revert here and there you can use undo or the more powerful options Twinkle provides. The rollback user right is generally for those who are active in counter-vandalism. You can learn more about what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you're interested, you can enroll in the training program. — MusikAnimal talk 14:24, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Roshan014

I created many articles such like - Chandanamazha, Meghna Vincent, Tanya Sharma & more. I fought with vandals as they suggested and I think I have enough experience to have this right. Regards Roshan014Talk 12:10, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: Since we don't know who suggested you to fight with vandals, can you please mention that user's name? and also creating articles has nothing to do with fighting vandalism. Supdiop (talk) 13:06, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I don't think who recommended they fight vandalism has any pertinence. It looks like you're doing excellent article work, but I don't see much evidence of fighting vandalism or a need for rollback. Instead I see that you've engaged in an edit war as soon as a week ago at Chamak (Television Series) and MBA Bahu. Rollback is to never be used in an edit war, so naturally those who have had issues with this are generally not trusted with this right. I recommend first reviewing Wikipedia:Rollback, and if that is what you would like to do, consider enrolling in the counter-vandalism training program. — MusikAnimal talk 14:18, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:JZCL

I periodically revert vandalism and simply believe that it would be a useful feature to speed up this process. Sometimes I patrol IPs on RecentChanges and would find it useful if I had this feature. JZCL 20:40, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
