Rollback (add request)

I have been spending a lot of time reverting vandalism edits recently. I believe that the Rollbacker permission will make me much faster at doing it. Quinxorin (talk) 00:31, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

there have been a long sequence of vandalizing edits to Synetic Theater (Arlington, Virginia). The helpers in chat suggested I request rollback

I have recently started making more edits that are deletion of vandalism and wanted this tool so that I could more swiftly fight against vandalism. Tubby23 (talk) 10:51, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You're doing good work reverting vandalism, but I don't see any warnings on the talk pages of vandals, which are very important, nor do I see any reports to WP:AIV. You might like to install Twinkle to help you for a week or 2 and then come back. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:57, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks. Sorry to bother you. Hope to here from you in a couple of weeks. Tubby23 (talk) 11:03, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I want to remove vandalism more quickly for the good of Wikipidia. I made mistakes in the past, but now I think I am ready for it. I can find lots of vandalism on Special:RecentChanges. I can't use Twinkle because I'm using Internet Explorer 8.--HyperSonic X (talk) 10:42, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's unfortunate. You should switch to a better browser ;). In the meantime, what do you think has changed in the week since your last request? Do you feel you've improved and do you think you'd manage with rollback- it's a very powerful tool compared with the undo feature. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:50, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think I shall continue using the undo feature for sometime before I request for rollback again. But I've reported vandals on WP:AIV and warned an IP/user before.--HyperSonic X (talk) 11:05, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to take a leap of faith here so:

I have been using Twinkle lately and it is not working for me. I am downloading Huggle but i need the rollback right in order to use Huggle. Thanks! Comppro 03:26, 19 May 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) 03:57, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
