I am an active user on Wikipedia and believe that my edits are, for the most part, constructive. I often devote my time to combating vandalism, particularly on Special:NewPages and Special:RecentChanges. Use of the rollback tool would allow me to more efficiently fight vandalism and remove unnecessary edits. - TALL^eN ^talk 16:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Comment: I'm not an administrator, so the decision isn't up to me. However, from what I've seen here, you need experience with other tools before getting the rollback feature. Try using the Twinkle gadget, revert fifty vandal edits, then reapply. That's what I think should be done, anyway. Raptor ^{Let's talk}/_{My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions} 18:39, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

 Not done, I'd like to see more than two days of anti-vandalism work before assigning the +rollback permission. Please take a few weeks to understand how the project works and feel free to reapply later. Nakon 18:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

I have 624 edits and lots of vandalism reversion xperience. I also mark pages for speedy deletion and patrol both NewPages and RecentChanges. The ability to use Huggle, Igloo, and the one-click rollback would br very helpful to me. Access Denied^(t|c|g|d|s) 20:22, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

I have been editing on Wikipedia for a lot of time as an anonymous user and I have shown a deep understanding of using Twinkle and leaving warnings for people where appropriate. I certainly do know my way around Wikipedia because I am a confirmed user. I know the difference between good and bad faith edits and when to use warnings at the correct time. I have read the guide for Huggle and think it will help me revert more vandalism. I fully understand how to use it. Thanks CuteMice·Talk 17:34, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm usally editing pages such as The Last Airbender, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and even pages not associated with these pages. In particularly Secret Life, there is a large amound of vandals that come through everyday, and the rollback feature would be an advantage to have at hand. ChaosMaster_Chat 17:03, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

 Not done. You have little to no recent experience fighting real vandalism here on Wikipedia. If you want the rollback tool, show us that you need it! Go to Special:RecentChanges and make 50 or so vandalism reverts, either with the undo function, or the userscript, Twinkle. One you have done that, come back and request the tool again. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 19:38, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I'll be working on it :) ChaosMaster_Chat 21:48, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Is there anyway to keep track of how much vandalism I have reverted? ChaosMaster_Chat 15:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I have at least 50 revisions of vandalism now, about 50 today a few yesterday as well. ChaosMaster_Chat 22:29, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

• Comment Only very recently this editor has edit-warred at List of Ghost Whisperer episodes,[1] obstinately refused to accept a fairly obvious consensus at WP:RSN, (actually, it was a complete denial of consensus[2][3]), improperly reverted edits made in accordance with consensus,[4], improperly used a warning template,[5] (noted by another editor, not me[6]), been the subject of an ANI discussion,[7] and deliberately added incorrect information to an article.[8] I'm therefore concerned about the potential for misuse of rollback by this editor. --AussieLegend (talk) 00:01, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I would like to say that the discussion about the reliable source has been an ongoing discussion and the reverts to the GW page were made in accordance to the consensus at the time of the edit. I would like to point out that each edit made there was also not disputed by me in the case of an edit discription and was taken to the talk page. The incorrect information I added to the article was not deliberate, per say, and after being discussed was left alone. I also would like to point out that the ANI discussion was a good faith report and was settled that I was unaware of a certain aspect of a rule. Furthermore, with Aussie "keeping watch" over me, I am pretty sure that as soon as I even make the slightest mistake when allowed to use the rollback feature, I would be rightfully reported. And let me friendly remind Auszie that this is not a perminant feature and can be revoked at anytime. ChaosMaster_Chat 01:12, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

This goes without mentioning that this feature is intended and I plan to use this feature for cases of vandalism, not silly disputes with registered users. ChaosMaster_Chat 01:43, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

While this is not the place for ongoing debate, I believe that the above response indicates why this editor is far from ready to accept the responsibility of rollback. The reverts he made to List of Ghost Whisperer episodes were never supported by consensus. He claimed they were,[9] but this was challenged,[10] and, to date, he has not responded to the challenge. (If those links seem familiar, they should be as I posted them in my first comment so it is puzzling as to why ChaosMaster16 should continue to deny his wrongdoing) As for taking things to the talk page, he clearly did not do so after this reversion of a valid, consensus based edit. It should not be up to me to follow him around confirming his appropriate use of the tool. That he expects this to happen is a good indicator that this editor is a long way off being ready. --AussieLegend (talk) 10:09, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I stand corrected, it was not Aussie that made the comment about keeping an eye on me on the ANI page, and I do apoligize for making the statement implying that he did. And I don't expect that, or anything like it to happen at all, Im just trying to remind you that proper use of the tool needs to be used for vandalism, not usng the tool to rollback your reverts, or disputed content, nor an ongoing discussion that does not warrent an immediate revert. I do thank you for bringing this to the attention of the editors here, but I assure you that I do not intend to misuse the feature. ChaosMaster_Chat 16:15, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately I have to agree with AussieLegend. It doesn't look like you can handle it responsibly. My advice would be to sort out your issues, do some research (possibly by reading about the rollback feature), and reapply for the tool at a later time.

Alright. I was just wondering who gave me use of the feature last night though? ChaosMaster_Chat 17:41, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Wasn't me. I'm not an admin; I'm just a user who sometimes comments here. And anyway they're supposed to mark that it was done. I wonder why they didn't? Raptor ^{Let's talk}/_{My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions} 18:36, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not complaining about it or anything. Just wondering. I don't have the right anymore either, so it won't interfere with anything discussed here. ChaosMaster_Chat 18:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

ChaosMaster16 has been the subject of five ANI reports, ranging from 10 April 2009 to 20 July 2010, and has also been subject to criticism in at least one other ANI discussion where he/she was not the subject of the report. I see no reason at all to think that he/she will ever be responsible enough to be entrusted with rollback. I shall be delighted if I am proved wrong, but I think if it ever comes it will be well into the future. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:16, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for offering to help out. I see very little evidence of you reverting vandalism so it's difficult to be sure that you have the necessary experience. If you do want to revert vandalism, could you try using the "undo" button for now? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:34, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

I have removed vandilism, and as reverting doesn't always work, the rollback feature could help. DeadlyOps (talk) 05:39, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Actually you can always use the "undo" button to achieve the same effect as rollback (it just takes one or two extra clicks). To undo multiple edits you just select the revisions in the history, then press the "compare selected revisions" and then press "undo". Have a go in the sandbox or on your user page. I wouldn't mind giving you rollback but I think you should practise a little more with the undo button, giving proper a edit summary each time you revert an edit. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:17, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I have some experience with Twinkle, but I would like to be able to use the one-click rollback because I have a fairly slow internet connection and the Undo button process can take a while on my connection, and Twinkle runs VERY, VERYslowly on my computer.

I'm relatively active in reverting vandalism and in fact had this tool granted some time ago. However, it was removed because I had been using it in content dispute. I've tried to avoid using reverts in content disputes since then and since the administrator who removed my right mentioned that I could reapply after a reasonable amount of time. I hope that seven months are a reasonable period and if it's so, I would like to apply to have rollback rights again. Kostja (talk) 20:51, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

A question from me. Do you intend to use rollback to revert edits such as this? Why/why not? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:33, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

I understand that removing a "citation needed" tag without providing a source, especially in a case like this, when numbers are involved can be regarded as disruptive. So it seems to me that this is exactly the kind of edit that the rollback feature is supposed to be used for. Kostja (talk) 15:31, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Is it not possible that this was a good faith edit and the editor feels that the fact is supported by a source in the article? You may be right that this edit was disruptive but if you are not 100% sure would it be better to add an edit summary such as "please provide a source before removing this tag"? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:06, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Rollback is mostly for irrefutable vandalism only, with a couple exceptions. Use Twinkle or the Undo function if you don't think that the citation needed template should've been removed, and remember to provide an edit summary, such as the one suggested by MSGJ. Rollback isn't for "I think it's vandalism or disruptive." Rollback is for "It is vandalism or disruptive." Raptor ^{Let's talk}/_{My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions} 16:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Is my request refused? It's not entirely clear at the moment. Kostja (talk) 14:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I am currently a reviewer and I have in the last months done a lot of patrolling. I would like to be granted the rollbacker status as well, since it seems like it works better than Twinkle. I have written 106 articles, out of which 8 were DYKs, and logged almost 14k edits in my 2yrs + in Wikipedia. I am also part of the welcoming committee, and recently I have been very involved with that, since when I patrol and rollback through twinkle, I also look for newbies to mentor.

Question: would this revert be an appropriate use of rollback? Why/why not? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Reply: I support my revert, as it removed Lyrics and Translation. I think this lyrics is good enough, but there are many more amusing song-lyrics whose articles do not contain lyrics section(except few notable stanza). Providing an external link might be enough. However, on the other side, This section can be included, if one can show the notability of this lyrics/stanza 'OR' This section should be written rather like an essay than like a "Poetry".--Ranjithsutari (talk) 16:29, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I was not questioning the revert, but I do question whether it was appropriate to undo it without leaving an edit summary as the edit was made in good faith. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I was using Lupin's Recent IP Changes tool, There isn't any option for providing edit summary. I agree with my mistake that I should have leave a message at user's talk page, for which I would be glad to do now.--Ranjithsutari (talk) 16:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

You shouldn't blame the tools as the responsibility for the edit is yours. If there is no option to provide an edit summary then either (a) you aren't using the tool properly or (b) the tool should not be used in this case. It is not necessary to leave a message on the user's talk page, but a decent explanatory edit summary is required. I'm sorry but I don't feel comfortable about giving you an extra tool at the moment because you seem to be struggling with the ones you already have. Would you mind carrying on as before, becoming more familiar with the tools you are using and providing appropriate edit summaries? I would be happy to consider a request in a couple of weeks. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:12, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

My intention is not to blame the tools, always I take full responsibility for my edits. Before using any tool, I prefer to know about its functions. Automatically there was a small edit summary, for which the editor had no complains. I did not expected it to be decent, but assumed as satisfactory. I don't mind to continue without rollback, Moreover it is my last request for rollback. Thank you for the feedback,--Ranjithsutari (talk) 15:39, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm a frequent user of wikipedia with over 800 edits and I mainly revert/undo vandalism concerning music pages, for example track listings which are frequently vandalized by those who just fill in artists which are not featured or add false release dates and album covers.

Comment I'm not an admin, but you only seem to have about 8 vandalism reverts in the last 500 edits, and you're not warning the vandals. Access Denied^(t|c|g|d|s) 15:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately I agree with Access Denied. You need to revert the vandalism and warn the vandals. We need to know you need the rollback feature. Use Twinkle; it's easy to revert the vandalism with it, and it supplies you with a list of user warnings you can use. Also, just like Access Denied, I'm not an admin either. Hopefully an admin will be around soon to review your request. The Raptor ^{Let's talk}/_{My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions} 16:09, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 Not done Sorry, your dedication is impressive, but you don't have very many vandalism reversions and even fewer warnings. Please make sure you warn all the vandals you revert, partly so that they have adequate chance to realise that what they're doing is wrong and is being noticed and partly so that others can keep track of those who disregard the warnings. You might like to try one of the semi-automated scripts, such as Twinkle, to help you with both reverting and warning (and reporting to AIV if it gets that far).

I have been a active rollbacker with TW and would now like to have the Rollback feature. Please ignore any good faith messages posted below. Thanks, /HeyMid (contributions) 15:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Before granting any rights to Heymid (who was blocked permanently at Swedish Wikipedia a few months ago) you might want to read this discussion from Requests for permissions / Reviewer and consider using Google Translate (or whatever translation tool you prefer) to read the Heymid-related section in the archives of the SVWP equivalent of Administrators' noticeboard, sv:Wikipedia:Kommentarer_om_administreringen_av_Wikipedia/Arkiv_2010#Heymid_blockerad_en_vecka. - Tournesol (talk) 15:50, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I think this is a different case of AGF, as Tournesol is talking about incidents from about 1 month–1,5 months ago. I am thinking in a entirely different way. I believe the future is more important than what happened earlier. I am very sorry for my behaviour at Swedish Wikipedia and I have promised it will not happen again. Too bad, I never got a last chance or a probation/deal. But if I have not been blocked from English Wikipedia, then why should I be blocked from SvWp? I have been working hard trying to figure out why I got blocked. I don't want to get Tournesol angry and I really don't want to become involved in a edit war, so I think it's better if I just leave his comment above.

Again, as I said above, please ignore Tournesol's good faith message above. I am surely a 100% trusted user and I promise I will not abuse the rollback permission at all. /HeyMid (contributions) 17:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Again, I am sorry for that mistake I did. What should I do now? Should I either leave Wikipedia, continue editing or take a break from it? /HeyMid (contributions) 18:05, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I am a very active editor on Wikipedia. Throughout my history, I have made almost 900 contributions to Wikipedia, and have also received "The Music Barnstar". I have fought against vandalism by applying to have the My World Tour page semi-protected, because multiple anonymous users were vandalizing the page. It was quite a hassle to get the page back to its original form. Also, I have undone many vandalizing fixes on Mt. Spokane High School and Justin Bieber. Getting rollback rights would make it easier for me to fight against vandalism, and would give me more time to contribute to various Wikipedia articles.

It looks like you've been reverting a lot of unsourced material. This is good, but rollback isn't for that purpose. It's for blatant vandalism only. Head over to Recent Changes, find maybe two to three dozen blatant vandalism edits, revert them with Twinkle, and reapply for rollback after that's done. The Raptor ^{Let's talk}/_{My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions} 15:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Not really, it is required to be experienced in vandalfighting, experience isn't a couple of edits in a short time span as you seem to suggest. Rollback is granted to users that have *already* been fighting vandalism over a reasonable period of time, which of course depends on the admin that's reviewing it, but is by no means a couple of days. Substantial experience is required. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 15:45, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I've been a wikipedia editor for over 4 years with something like 27,000 edits, over 100 new articles, and have spent some time on NPP, GAR, etc. I really haven't been chasing admin credentials or tools, but this one would be really helpful because I currently have about 1500 articles on my watchlist and spend a lot of of my wiki-days reverting vandalism, and sometimes do so over a slow dialup connection, so every click saved would be very helpful to me. I believe it would be helpful to wikipedia too! Oh, if it helps, I already have reviewer and autopatrolled rights that other people just gave me without my needing to request them.

I don't know what do you mean by "a lot of experience", but I was in Wikipedia project since 2007 with more than 10000 edits, as I said here.

I would like to have rollback permission since I try to counter vandalism, I'm in the Counter-Vandalism unit, A recent changes Patroller, I'm against wikipedia spam and I use Lupin's Anti-Vandal Tool to patrol the recent changes, spell checks, monitor IP changes (person without an account). I joined at the 20th of January 2009. I would like to contribute even more to wikipedia and that's why I would like to ask for the permission to work even more efficiënt and faster. I cannot say that I will never make a mistake, I'm only a human. But then I will try to correct then asap and correctly. I have read the policies about relating vandalism directly or indirectly and I know the difference between an unsourced edit and real vandalism. I hope this is considered.DJScias (talk) 20:29, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Comment: It doesn't look like you've done a lot of anti-vandalism work lately. In fact I only found about a dozen anti-vandalism edits since May of this year.

Had my rollback rights removed less than 24hours ago because they were used in an edit war however I beg to differ and would like a second opinion, I realize edit warring is against policies however I feel I was not edit warring because multiple editors had already come to a consensus about the removal of the tags therefore my actions were justified. Please review the case before making a brash decision based upon the time between this request and the removal of my rights. Thanks Phoon (talk) 21:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 Not done Apart from the fact that you should discuss this with the admin who removed your rollback rights, the removal of tags is not vandalism and should not, therefore, be rolled back. While you may not have been consciously abusing rollback, you were certainly misusing it, thus I think a passage of time would be wise and you should make yourself more familiar with WP:VAND before re-applying. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:20, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I beg to differ, the editor was being vandal by abusing tags and thus I reverted said vandalism and reported him for 3rr. I don't think you grasp what I'm trying to tell you, I never said the removal of tags was vandalism as you suggested, I said the placement of tags is vandalism (since he was abusing them). So I ask you to at least strike that off the list of things I should do too restore my rollback rights. Phoon (talk) 02:29, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

He was adding a fact tag. The rollback button is not a substitute for calm and rational discussion and the edit was clearly not "a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia". HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:38, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I see otherwise, by him going against a set group consensus he did deliberately attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia, he undermined one of the key decision making polices of reaching a consensus and thus is a vandal and I treated him as such. He fostered an environment of chaos and tension. So again I ask you again to at least strike that off the list of things I should do to restore my rollback rights. Phoon (talk) 02:50, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

OK, I'll be blunt. The more you argue with me, the less likely I am to re-grant your rollback rights. I am not going to restore your rollback rights now, no matter how much you try to wikilawyer over technical definitions of vandalism. If you want any chance of getting them back, you'll go and do something else for a week or 2, try not to annoy me, then come and ask me nicely, demonstrating that you understand why it was revoked. Then I'll consider it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:56, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, violation of the 3rr is not vandalism. The Raptor ^{You rang?}/_{My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions} 02:41, 5 August 2010 (UTC

I find your comment extremely irrelevant to this conversation, can you show me where I directly said that 3rr is vandalism? Phoon (talk) 02:51, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

It's because you said you reported them for the 3rr, but I guess it is a bit redundant. You didn't exactly say that's why you reverted. I apologize for the misunderstanding. The Raptor ^{You rang?}/_{My mistakes; I mean, er, contributions} 02:58, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

I am appalled at your previous statements, coming from an administrator? This is surely admin. misconduct at its best, I am not arguing with you I am having a "calm and rational discussion" with you over my rollback rights. Try not to annoy you? Your statements have Napoleonic complex written all over them, I am not here to appease you, just because you an administrator doesn't mean you can ignore the people your supposed to be helping. You should be trying to uphold all the Wikipedia's policies not accuse someone of being a "Wikilawyer" (Which if find to be derogatory and a personal attack) just because they are making their case. How can I demonstrate that I understand why my rights were revoked when I don't even truly know why because no one can seem to explain it to me and when I try to have a "calm and rational discussion" with an adminstrator I'm met with deaf ears. This is one of the cruelest experiences of my life, how can you be so harsh and abusive towards me? I would never think I would see this level of arrogance on Wikipedia a fixture in intelligentsia and especially from an administrator. I am truly hurt by what you have just said. This misconduct will not go unreported. Phoon (talk) 03:18, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

You're missing a lot. First off, you don't have 'rights' here, you have privileges, at least at the moment, you do; you're not blocked ;) Rollback is a joke-bit, anyway. It's a test, to see if editors will use it according to teh rulz. Bzzt. You didn't, and you lost the bit.
