Rollback (add request)

User:Nick Wilson

I've been using Twinkle for some time and I'd like to become more active in fighting vandalism with the help of utilities such as Huggle. I usually patrol newpages and am very familiar with CSD and AFD, I regularly read RFAs, the village pump, and ANI to gain a better understanding of what will be acceptable behavior should I be granted additional privileges. I have reverted in haste prior, and I now take significantly more caution and restraint in undoing the actions and work of others. Nick Wilson (talk) 05:47, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Your last report to WP:AIV was in December 2009. Please try one of the automated tools and gain more experience identifying vandalism, then apply again in a month or so. KrakatoaKatie 10:10, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:In fact

I have been doing it manually. Now I would like to do it faster and better. I have aslo provided a numbered list of my actions regarding this matter in my page. Thanks. *** in fact *** ( contact ) 06:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done First, learn how to wiklink. Next, learn how to identify vandalism, ask a non-cooperative user to stop with an appropriate warning (with the user talk message templates, for example), and report true vandals to WP:AIV. Feel free to ask again in a few weeks. :-) KrakatoaKatie 10:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Disappointing ! I would continue doing it manually. *** in fact *** ( contact ) 12:05, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dp76764

Several years of experience and I spend most of my time trolling for vandalism to revert. Popups is nice but RB would be good for the consecutive edits revert. Cheers! DP76764 (Talk) 22:18, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You've done a good job reverting vandalism, but you don't seem to be warning vandals. If you are granted rollback, will you do a better job of this? Dabomb87 (talk) 01:36, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I will make more effort on that. My philosophy has been to warn the persistent ones but usually leave the 1-off vandals alone; if that needs to change, then so be it. :) DP76764 (Talk) 18:04, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ebraminio

hi, i want to have this permission for better fighting against vandalism, i know with twinkle or popups i can do rollback but i prefer to have this permission because i had experience with that in other wikis. thanks. --ebraminiotalk 22:55, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Same as above, essentially. I trust that you can distinguish between vandalism and good-faith edits, but will you do a better job of warning vandals if you are granted rollback? Dabomb87 (talk) 01:39, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I will use them.--ebraminiotalk 08:16, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Breawycker

I have reverted a lot of vandalism, including some that has been ignored. Breawycker (talk) 21:17, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't look like you have enough experience reverting vandalism. Most of your reverts have been self-reverts to userspace drafts. If you want to have experience reverting vandalism, my advice is to take a look at the Recent changes page. Minimac (talk) 08:09, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Seems to have been doing well with Twinkle in recent days. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:41, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dragalis

I am a semi regular anti-vandalism patroller and would like to have rollback priv's so that I can be a bit more flexable by using huggle and the like, thanks in advance for your consideration Drake Dawson (talk) 08:10, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You don't seem to leave many warnings and you don't seem to have made a large number of reverts. I'm also concerend that you editing activity seems quite sporadic. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:26, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mr. Anon515

Hi. A while ago I requested Rollback, but I was denied for the reason that I had not reverted enough vandalism. In recent times, however, I have reverted a great deal of vandalism, and in some of those cases rollback would have been quite useful. Mr. Anon515 20:33, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You have reverted a fair amount of vandalism, but you don't seem to be warning the vandals. Please try to use these templates to warn vandals after reverting their edits. Usb10 plug me in 01:57, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware of that, and in recent reverts I have used that template. However, I can't find the template that the bots always seem to use that actually provides a link to the vandalism edit itself. Mr. Anon515 19:18, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Has been warning more recently and I've left a note advising Twinkle to speed the process up. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:20, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Someone65

I've been using twinkle now for several months with around two thousand edits, but i heard that rollback is more useful to revert vandals. I think it will be useful. Someone65 (talk) 01:27, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - You need to warn the vandals; you haven't been doing so. Ironholds (talk) 02:55, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have been reverting vandalism manually and would like to make the task a little easier on myself. Thanks. Flyguy33 (talk) 05:04, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Guerillero

I have been reverting vandalism for close to a year now using twinkle. I am fairly constant at warning people and A have filed a few AIV reports in the past. (Vandal fighting isn't listed under my last few days of editing because of some heavy article work) cheers Guerillero | My Talk 03:38, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have been doing a lot of anti-vandal fighting on Wikipedia for a month now and feel that I'm ready for this tool to stop more vandalism. Baseball Watcher Lets Chat 03:04, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:ZamorakO o

I'm requesting rollback because I participate in anti-vandal work a lot. I've requested rollback before, and was denied. Since then I've read over your policies, and would like to try again. ZamorakO o (talk) 03:15, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Creation7689

I think that rollback would be good for me. I have a good amount of experience in using the twinkle feature with removing vandal edits as well as warning the editors of that edit. I also have used the undo button from time to time. Rollback would help me make faster edits which I think would be useful to me. Thanks. :) Creation7689 (talk) 16:42, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:This lousy t-shirt

My request is for Rollback. Counter-vandalism work has been my specialty ever since I was new here in November - my first edit was reverting vandalism - although I also do other stuff. Rollback would make the tasks so much easier for me to do more neatly and efficiently (and twice as fast). This lousy t-shirt (talk)
