Well I currently use Lupin's anti-vandal tool to try and revert vandalism. Without rollback it is harder to remove the vandalism. By the time I revert one act of vandalism, several more have piled up. I am also dealing with 4 different socks in an ongoing Sock investigation (resulting from vandalism). I feel that if I am given rollback rights, I could revert vandalism faster and deal with socks easier. PopMusicBuff ^talk 02:43, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

 Not done - Your last request was declined no more than two days ago. Please give it a few weeks before re-requesting the tool. Thank you, Tiptoety ^talk 04:15, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I want to request rollback privileges so it maybe easier for me to help revert vandalism or unconstructive edits. I understand wikipedia's policy on reverting and have experience using the rollback tool in the simple English Wikipedia with my other account. —Terrence and Phillip 06:22, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I see no evidence of vandal fighting here at en:wiki, though there is a bunch over at Simple. Why do you use two different accounts between projects? I'm unlikely to give Rollback to the User:TerrenceandPhillip account based solely on the contribs here at en:wiki. wadester16 06:33, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Here at en wiki we have thousands of users who are already on "anti-vandalism" patrol, so it is harder to revert vandalism here before someone beats you to it. To press the undo button, it normally takes an extra 10 seconds at best if the server is lagging behind or if my internet connection is slow. My account over at simplewiki was created years ago in 2006 with on-and-off activity. However I am competent at using the rollback tool and I am familiar with the revert and vandalism policy, thanks to experience over at simple wiki. —Terrence and Phillip 07:05, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Right, but my concern is proving that these two accounts are the same user. Maybe you should change your Simple name to the en:wiki one, or use the Simple one here instead. Then there's no question. This is just a precedent I have yet to experience. Any other sysop want to weigh in? wadester16 19:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure. TerrenceandPhillip, please make an edit to your simple wikipedia account's userpage stating your en wikipedia's account name to prove your identity. Malinaccier (talk) 19:24, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I have contacted Snake311 on simple, and asked them to confirm their identity [1]. Moreover, I would like an explanation to the DEAD banner here. decltype (talk) 19:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I have confirmed myself. Also the dead banner used to be a retired banner before I resumed by activity here. I know I have a bad sense of humor. :P If it is distracting, I'll remove it. —Terrence and Phillip 19:38, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

To clarify: I just wanted to be sure there wasn't anything fishy going on like a dead user's account being compromised (far fetched, I know). A good sense of humour is certainly not a requirement for rollback :) That said, someone coming across your page could see it as a suicide threat, and I therefore think it's a good thing that you removed it. Thanks for helping out with vandalism-fighting. decltype (talk) 19:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Since I use MWT to revert vandalism and warn almost all of the users/or Anons that I correct and have made more then 200 edits to wikipedia I think I pass the Wadester16 test.Dr. Szląchski (talk) 04:28, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

This tells me you've only made about 100 edits to the project. Based on your contributions, I'm inclined to give you Rollback permissions, but would prefer if you made some more edits first. Maybe in about a week, you could message me again, I'll recheck, and most likely give you the tool at that time. Sound good? wadester16 04:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
