Hi, please could I have rollback? I lost it when I gave up being an admin recently. I’ve been around a little while. Alex Muller 16:58, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I believe I have a record in reverting and undoing vandalism on the encyclopedia, at times I find it time consuming to revert multiple edits one by one individually then edit to correct the errors. I would to have the rollback right for quick edits to help making the site a better and reliable place free from vandalism. shelovesneo (talk) 19:29, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi shelovesneo, are you aware that you can click any revision's timestamp in the history and then "Edit" and "Save" to restore it? There is a toolkit named Twinkle that can even automate this task. Are these two already sufficient? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

(Also, and that's a trick I've learned way too late: When you display the difference between two revisions, with possibly hundreds in between, you see a huge diff. You can undo exactly all these changes by clicking "Undo" when looking at the diff.) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:39, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

ToBeFree, yes i have been using Twinkle all this time, i know of it. I figured having tools to assist me to work faster would be very useful. shelovesneo (talk) 23:53, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Well then! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 07:56, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps this is a bit premature but I'm going to WP:Bebold and ask for rollback rights. I'm currently working on chipping away some subtle anti-vax vandalism at Heather McDonald's page, and I'm thinking to myself, wouldn't this be easier with rollback? I already have Twinkle installed and am reinventing myself as an anti-vandal. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 04:30, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

I have been editing Wikipedia for over 12 months and have made over 1700 edits in the mainspace. I have a good understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and I am familiar with the process of undoing vandalism. I am also committed to upholding Wikipedia's standards of neutrality and accuracy. I believe that I have the skills and experience necessary to be a responsible Rollback user. I am confident that I can use this permission to help protect Wikipedia from vandalism and keep its content accurate and neutral.

Thank you for your consideration. TruxtVerified (talk) 05:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
