Rollback (add request)


User:Aleksa Lukic

I would very much like if you assign me a rollback permission. Last year, I was a successful rollbacker, but it has appeared severe problems, so I couldn't rollback any more. I was doing my job as rollbacker very well at the time. Although I am not special active user, from 1+ year in the past, I am an upstanding user here. I think I've gained all your confidence. If an admin give these rights, I'll be more active, because I'll got more rights, which I'll use appropriately. Alex discussion 20:34, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You were very recently blocked for sockpuppetry and a checkuser confirmed questionable edits while you were logged out as an IP.--v/r - TP 13:14, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but that was more than one year ago, I didn't repeat that since 27 June 2010, that's about 13 months ago. I have learned a lesson. Alex discussion 13:28, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My bad, you're right. I read the date as 2011.--v/r - TP 13:30, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I see very little recent vandalism fighting, therefore I must assess it particularly closely. And, well, although not overly bothered by the sock issue, I'm worried by edits such as these: [1] & [2], where you revert and report a user who has been removing bits of info sourced only to a blog from a BLP. Due to these, I do not feel comfortable granting you this flag, I'm really sorry. Salvio Let's talk about it! 16:10, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But, you'll agree that isn't OK to remove some text (regardless whether is text sourced correctly or not) without adequate notice in edit summary, such edits often confuse me, they're not appropriate at all, and therefore I don't approve them, but I will be more careful further. It's much more difficult to revert bad edits without this privileges. However, I'll try to be consistent in my vandal-fight mission. Alex discussion 17:04, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Whether you approve of such edits or not is irrelevant and should never be taken into account, I think the concerns raised by TParis and Salvio are in regard to whether you will use the rollback function for such edits if you were granted the permission. While edit summaries are important, undoing an edit purely on the basis of lacking an edit summary is not proper procedure. Remember there is a higher level of responsibility required for Rollback and that policy dictates a user cannot use rollback for edits where there is no blatant violation of policy. It is also the responsibility of the "rollbacker" to make sure the edits they rollback constitute policy-breaking material or plain vandalism. —James (Talk • Contribs) • 1:10pm • 03:10, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted disruptive edits of many IP users. I sincerely hope that I can be granted this right, so I can contribute to Wikipedia more conveniently in future. -- 7D HMS (talk) 12:47, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done} due to lack of experience; you seem to be doing a good job, but I'd like to see a tad more experience, before granting you this flag. In the meantime, you can use WP:TWINKLE, which makes it very easy to revert vandals and issue warnings. Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:38, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Omkar1234

I had been reverting by Twinkle, now I am ready for the main rollback tool. And plus to use Huggle. This is my second request.Omkar1234 Leave me a message! 15:32, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Remember, rollback is only for obvious cases of vandalism -FASTILY (TALK) 20:11, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:ChrisEngelsma

Hello! I've started to get the hang of fighting vandalism using the undo feature, and I believe that rollback privileges would be fun and help a great deal. I appreciate the consideration! Chris Engelsma ■ 18:43, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nathan2055

Hello, I've been trying to revert obvious vandalism on Wikipedia recently, and I'd like to request access to rollback to assist with this. Thank you! Nathan2055talk 17:55, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You've made a small number of reverts, the majority of which appear to be at the sandbox; the sandbox is for test edits, so you shouldn't be reverting anyone's edits there (e.g. [3]). I'm declining your request because you don't seem to understand what constitutes vandalism. Read WP:VAN, go to Special:RecentChanges and make 50 or so appropriate reverts of vandalism, and then come to request the tool. -FASTILY (TALK) 18:26, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Daven200520

Was recently unblocked which stemmed from an argument over citations. I took a years break and have completely cleared my head of it all. I never abused my previous Rollbackers rights and was told to come back in about a year to re-apply when things had calmed down. If you look at my previous edit history you will see my extensive and long history of fighting vandalism. Thank you for your time and consideration. Phoon (talk) 19:12, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Request restoration of the bit at admin Jac16888's talk page. -FASTILY (TALK) 19:27, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think that request is not quite aligned with the truth. I was both the blocking and unblocking admin. The user was indeffed as a result of some fairly egregious behavior - not just a petty disagreement about citations. There was no talk about "come back in a year" when I made the block - that's why it was an indef block and not a 1-year block.
True that there wasn't any abuse of rollback. I'm mildly concerned that even before making his/her first mainspace edit after unblocking the user has requested privileges, but I'm much more concerned about the way the request was presented. Toddst1 (talk) 21:49, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
With regards to my removal of rollback, it was done purely because they were an indef blocked user listed on Wikipedia:Database reports/Blocked users in user groups, along with several others, not because of anything to do with this user in particular or because the tool was abused. If another admin wishes to restore rollback to this user, please feel free to do so--Jac16888 Talk 22:14, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Toddst1, I'm sorry that my request came off as untruthful. You weren't the admin that told me I should probably wait and let things cool down before I re-apply, it was an admin that helped in this section actually. I personally believed it was the petty citations dispute that snowballed into a heap of highly charged vitriolic comments and actions. To that I say that I have stepped back and reexamined my behavior and others and saw just how unnecessary the entire event really was. That aside, I respect the use of the Rollback tool and I believe it will enable me to continue where I had left off before the events that took place, donating my time to a cause much greater than myself.

User:OpenInfoForAll

Hello, I've been using the rollback feature in Twinkle for quite a few months now to revert vandalism (most of my contributions are about reverting vandalism) and I would like to apply for the right to use the main rollback option. KeeperOfTheInformation (talk) 02:02, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My main activities on Wikipedia are vandalism patrolling and AFC. I have well over 100 vandalism reversion to my name using Twinkle and would like to take the next step to rollback so that I may start using Huggle as well. Thanks for your consideration!
