Rollback (add request)

User:Shirtwaist

I hate vandalism, have had enough, and want to do something about it! I found out about Huggle, but can't use it without rollbacker rights. That's about it. Thanks.Shirtwaist (talk) 11:53, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I have put in a request to be a reviewer and if I get reviewing rights I think rollback rights would help me with reviewing. DarkFireII13 15:05, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Too many concerns about your recent edits, particularly the edit war on Genocides in history. Also, reviewing and rollbacking are separate features, and one will not help with the other. You need to understand this distinction in order to effectively use either of them. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 19:44, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:FiachraByrne

Hi. Although this is my second wikipedia account I've been active only a relatively short time. My old account was User:Freekra which was last used about one year ago and I'd forgotten my passwords and indeed at the time my old username when I started this one. Most of my edits are on topics relating to the history of psychiatry/mental health/psychiatric patients which is my area of expertise. Such pages are subject to pretty frequent vandalism due, one assumes, to their content and I have been policing all those that are on my current watchlist. Recently I've downloaded igloo which I thought might assist in this task but the programme will not function, unfortunately, without rollback rights. I'm a calm person and not likely to overuse or abuse the facility. I've also read the policy and technical articles on the rollback feature. Thanks FiachraByrne 17:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It would be easier to revert vandalism TheBiggestFootballFan (talk) 20:30, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done, with the understanding that it should be used to undo obvious vandalism. The majority of your reversions are great, but I noticed a few that would have been better to do manually. Make sure you review WP:ROLLBACK, if you haven't already. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 04:33, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Monty845

I have been using Twinkle to handle vandalism, and would like to give Huggle a try to see if it is more efficient. Also it would be helpful in the rare cases when there is exceedingly obvious vandalism on a page where Twinkle is unable to roll back. I have read the rollback documentation, and understand the restriction on using it. Monty845 00:08, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Beam1985

I request rollback privileges to aid in the frequent vandalism repair of articles related to Drum and Bass music. I am a long time editor and could use the eased functionality offered by rollback. Beam1985 (talk) 01:48, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. You've been around since 2008, but I only see three reverts in your edit summaries, one of which actually restored vandalism, although you fixed it right away. This isn't really enough to evaluate how you'll likely use the tool. Hang around, use Twinkle, manually revert vandalism, and feel free to reapply in a week or so.

User:Gyrobo

I've had Twinkle enabled for about a year now, and I have no major complaints with it. I just want to see if native rollback gives better performance – and I have to admit, I'm curious about the kind of tools I could use if I had it. Gyrobo (talk) 00:36, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Simon Peter Hughes

I think that I have proven myself to be a sensible editor who only wants to improve the quality of Wikipedia. I understand the difference between vandalism and good faith edits that either don't conform to Wikipedia's guidelines or just aren't very good for one reason or another. I rarely encounter deliberate vandalism in the articles that interest me, so I probably wouldn't use rollback very often, but having it would be a good way to treat vandalism with the contempt that it deserves with a minimum of fuss.
