Rollback (add request)


I previously had the rollback privilege until I was stupid enough to engage in an edit war, after which it was removed. However, an examination of my use of the rollback, which I had had for just about three years, will show that the edit war was extremely out of character for me and my previous use of the rollback was responsible and in line with Wikipedia policies. Therefore, I'm requesting leniency and a restoration of my rollback. Kevin W./TalkCFB uniforms/Talk 08:24, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:: Timotheus Canens revoked your rollback rights less than a month ago; before requesting them back, you should talk to him. Salvio Let's talk about it! 14:20, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The situation has been discussed with him and several others in the situation and we agreed that I should wait about a month before requesting the restoration. It'll be a month in four days, so it's not much of a difference. --Kevin W./TalkCFB uniforms/Talk 22:52, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am a rollbacker on the Simple English wikis (2), Sysop on Wikimedia Incubator and Strategic Planning. With the rollback tool, I would be able to revert vandalism faster instead of just waiting for Twinkle to load for me, since I run on a rather slow internet connection. I often patrol edits on the #cvn-wp-en and this tool would come into handy for me. Thank you. Hydriz (talk) 09:03, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes, I like patrolling recent changes for vandalism and enjoy the practice Roodog2k (talk) 18:28, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Have you tried Twinkle? --43?9enter ☭msg★contribs 22:32, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can't use it at work, due to security restrictions on my PC. Roodog2k (talk) 13:21, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to do some work on vandalism and wish to use huggle Mtking (talk) 05:03, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to gain more behind the scenes experience on Wikipedia. I believe I've spent quite a bit of time doing recent changes patrolling, and this permission would help make my work more effective Mrmewe (talk) 14:19, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
