- I find the undo feature is too slow for me. I need an upgrade. Thanks! #1 Fan of Queen (Talk | Contribs) 22:33, 7 September 2011 (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. Once you have done that, come back and request the tool again. -FASTILY (TALK) 23:26, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

- Not a very active user. Would like to be able to combat vandalism as quickly as possible when I am on here. Ghostshock (talk) 10:55, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Not done - I need to see more evidence of your ability to identify vandalism before handing you this right. — Joseph Fox 11:12, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

- Vandalism and sock-puppetry is high in the Arab-Israeli conflict area. In the past few weeks I have found myself combatting both of them more often. This feature would be helpful. I am also very familiar with the procedures regarding WP:ARBPIA and have done my part to warn users of vandalism and the 1RR. -asad (talk) 16:01, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

- To make fixing vandalism easier. I find looking through Recent changes page and hunting for vandalism to revert is quite a a bit of fun (though addictive), however I'm running into a few cases where I find successive vandal edits that are difficult to revert, eg [9] and [10] are two of the vandalized articles that I've attempted to fix. I've found several others that I didn't even bother trying to because there were so many edits. May I have rollback granted to me so this process is streamlined? I understand that rollback is only to be used in special cases and abuse will have the permission revoked. Fasttimes68 (talk) 17:18, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

- I have random spurts of recent IP edit patrolling to find problems and would greatly appreciate the rollback feature being enabled for me. I can assure you I am trustworthy enough for it to be enable. JoshuaJohnLee talk softly, please 23:07, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) Your right it is spotty and I think you'll find Twinkle far better than Rollback but, I see no reason to deny your request. Good luck. Mlpearc powwow 02:26, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

- In the past I have requested for rollback only for it to be declined per WP:NotNow, now I believe that I am ready as I undid a lot of vandalism since my last request, I also know 100% how rollback works as I am an admin on Wikia, Thanks ChristianandJericho (talk) 08:18, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
- It seems I was the one who declined ChristianandJericho's request last time, but I cited a lack of vandal-fighting experience, not WP:NOTNOW as that applies to RfA only. No opinion on this new request as I'll let someone else handle it. Acalamari 09:53, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
- ChristianandJericho, I noticed this reversion of vandalism. Why didn't you leave a warning note on the IP's talk page?Wifione Message 14:16, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
- Because it turned out to be true, see the next few edits --ChristianandJericho 14:44, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Done I'm assuming good faith that this was only an honest mistake. Use the rollback right extremely carefully; and never for edit warring. Act responsibly on all occasions. Best. Wifione Message 17:42, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

- (Non-administrator comment) User requested rollback 4 days ago. --Σ talkcontribs 06:45, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Not done Not because of the time between requests, but because I don't see any notable vandal-fighting since your last request. Acalamari 09:53, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
