Rollback (add request)


User:Levonscott

I have asked once before and been denied because I had only done 4 edits in the article namespace, but I am back with more experience under my belt this time! Levonscott User talk:Levonscott User:Levonscott 04:59, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent, you now have 7 edits to articles. That's a noticeable improvement, an addition of 75% your previous value! With hard work, I can assure you that you will gain the rollback button. Good luck, --Σ talkcontribs 05:09, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
☒N Not done and not likely to be done Please contribute to some articles and revert vandalism before re-requesting. Thank you. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in agreement with the decision to reject the request; but I believe the replies we've given might just be perhaps too harsh... Wifione Message 03:06, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dom497

I have reverted many edits from IP user's in the past. Currently I have undone quite alot of the edits on the Canada's Got Talent and Canada's Got Talent (season 1) article as a result in Original Research or simply vandalizam. By receiving the role back tool, I will be able to undo any Original Research or vandalizam very quickly. This tool will also help me revert edits on other articles as well. Thank-you! Dom497 (talk) 19:00, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 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) 19:20, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:SGMD1

I'd like to more actively contribute to counter-vandalism efforts on Wikipedia by using Huggle, which requires rollback privileges. Thanks. SGMD1 Talk/Contribs 19:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Spidey665

I first requested this a week ago. May I please be a rollbacker now? I heard that you needed rollback to use Huggle. Spidey665 | contribs | 23:53, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) You requested it 6 and 3 days ago. →Στc. 00:08, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Not done. Your request for rollback was declined no more than three days ago. Please, do at least two months of consistent patrolling without making mistakes, such as the one referred to here, and then come back. I'm sorry, but at the moment, I don't think you are experienced enough to correctly handle either this tool or Huggle. Salvio Let's talk about it! 00:13, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment)I'm sorry to tell you this also Spidey665. I'm not yet an admin nor a rollbacker but to give you an advice, Huggle is only used for rollback, and if you have a rollback rights. You must have at least 50 or more reverts to request this tool. Because having Huggle only is not yet enough to request this kind of tool. I also requested here once, but for now I follow some advice by a friend here in Wikipedia. For now show them that you've got what it takes to become a vandal fighter.Hamham31 (talk) 03:19, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, if this time I felt not worthy, maybe next time I'll suggest it again. But I would consult my friends on this issue. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 03:54, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Yes he did show some evidence of vandal-fighting, but its not enough yet. He needs more reverting some of the hoax/vandal article to prove the rights. Hamham31 (Tell me (Sabihin mo!)) 04:23, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Babuonwiki

I'm presently contributing my level best to WP, adhering to its principles and guidelines and in line with the five pillars. If I'm given this privilege I'll be at the ultimatum in tackling vandals and keeping Wikipedia trust able. BabuOnWiki (talk) 05:25, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) Do you think your lack of edit summaries is an inconvenience to an admin who wishes to examine your contributions for evidence of vandalism reversions? →Στc. 05:35, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If so, I assure I'll provide proper edit summaries hereafter. BabuOnWiki (talk) 07:01, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Basalisk

Hi. I've started on the recent changes patrol fighting vandalism on wikipedia and for the most part have no trouble, but I'm starting to reach the point where rollback permission would certainly make life easier! I'm also keen to use Huggle but as far as I'm aware rollback permission is needed to use it. Many thanks. basalisk (talk) 14:30, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not doneI'm sorry but you really haven't got the experience level just yet with under a couple of hundred edits. What you're doing seems fine, so please make use of manual reverts like WP:UNDO and reapply soon. Best. Pedro :  Chat  22:05, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I thought this was about the need for use of certain tools and willingness to contribute, rather than the raw number of edits? I haven't been on the counter-vandalism charge for very long but I think I've demonstrated good practice and that I'm reliable. If you still think I need more experience to be useful then I'll carry on and reapply sometime in the future. Thanks for your help! basalisk (talk) 11:41, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's certainly not raw edit count, and it is indeed based on need. However Rollback can be misused quite disruptively even without intention; that's not a slight on you just a fact. I (and this is a rough personal criteria) like to see around 4/500 edits but more importantly a good number of revert / warn. I'm not saying come back in a month - keep doing what you're doing and feel free to ask me direct ion a few days. Pedro :  Chat  12:09, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I understand. Thanks for your help! basalisk (talk) 14:05, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bkid

I've been contributing a good bit recently, and plan on doing so in the future (I'm actually getting Huggle and/or Twinkle when I get home today). I'm spending time in AFD, but plan on expanding out to other articles soon, with the help of Special:Random or by joining a project, as well as helping to fight vandalism by searching through Special:RecentChanges. - Bkid Talk/Contribs 15:14, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Sorry, but you've done virtually zero reversions using UNDO so I really can't grant at this time. Please use moe manual methods and feel free to reapply soon. Thanks for your contributions so far, and please don't feel this is a snub. Pedro :  Chat  22:04, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, so should I use UNDO or not use it? Sorry if I got confused, I just wanted to make sure I do it right in the future. - Bkid Talk/Contribs 22:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, yes please do use WP:UNDO which I consider to be "manual" (i.e. unlike rollback it's a client side (browser) not a server side change to the page). Pedro :  Chat  22:28, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Night of the Big Wind

I do regularly some vandal fighting, but are too often beaten by Cluebot or others. Better capabilities make it more effective to do more. Night of the Big Wind talk 08:54, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do you promise to leave a message on the talk page of every user/ip whose vandalism you revert? Will you promise not to leave edit summaries like this when you revert? Wifione Message 11:28, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
While using the rollback tool I promise to put in useful and friendly messages in the comment box of every article I revert, regardless if it is a known user or an IP. Night of the Big Wind talk 12:58, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am contributing well for wikipedia and I would like the rollback feature to contribute more and track vandals. Solar Police►Talk 09:58, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Sorry but you have very few vandal reverts and over half your edits seem to be to your user page. Please keep on using manual reverts (like WP:UNDO) and reapply soon. Pedro :  Chat  12:12, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fine. I will do that Solar Police►Talk 15:41, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Wikipedian Penguin

I try my best to revert vandalism whenever I can and have been using Twinkle to revert unconstructive edits and notify the vandals. The Rollback tool will help my efficiently fight vandalism, especially on BLP articles that are harshly defamed. I also try my best to RC patrol, but ClueBot and other patrolmen often beat me. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 22:23, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Calvin999

I'm frequently reverting non-constructive edits and vandalism by editors and IPs on the majority of Rihanna articles. It happens countless times everyday and would be much easier. Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 22:39, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) It would help to know if youve read how standard rollback may only be used in certain situations. Also, if you ever undo content using rollback compared to a standard undo, it helps to use an explanatory edit summary (just a reminder, youre typing in an edit summary at the moment). Otherwise, the users story checks out, I trust them, and this right would help them. mysterytrey (talk) 02:51, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Not convinced that you have the right concept of vandalism. For example, here you reverted a change by User:MelanieBrown and then you left a vandalism warning on her talk page. At most, she made a well-intentioned but mistaken edit. See WP:Vandalism to refresh your memory on the definition. Please re-apply for rollback after you have made at least fifty vandal reverts which are of genuine vandalism and with no mistakes. EdJohnston (talk) 03:53, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion needs to move to a talk page
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
It was not well intentioned. I had reverted her at 17:49 and he/she did it again at 21:39 (which is the second one you are talking about). So i had a justified reason to revert her as I had previously left a warning on her user talk advising him/her not to do it again, but he/she did. Compare here and here. I think you will find you are wrong in your research. Raining Men is listed as the third single for a reason, because it is the third single. If it wasn't, then it wouldn't be there. I told him/her this, but he or she ignored and removed it again. Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 18:47, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) The edit you linked to had an edit summary of "no, for the ninth time", indicating an edit war. If you look under history, there is an earlier revert by Calvan999 against MelanieBrown summarized as "Nooo.". mysterytrey (talk) 04:09, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello??? Did I make 9 concurrent reverts on the page? No. I mean't to write nth time, as in god knows how many times I've had to revert a user for writing the same irrelevant vandalism. Calvin • NaNaNaC'mon! 18:39, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sjb0926

I've reverted a lot of vandalism in my day, and someone recently pointed out to me an act of vandalism by user Ilovejesus69 that I could not easily undo due to an intermediate revision (a user's reversion of only one vandalized sentence in an article). I would like the ability to rollback because digging out older vandalism is difficult and time-consuming. I believe I have demonstrated my ability to revert with appropriate care and dedication to merit the trust implicit in granting my request. Sjb0926 (talk) 18:34, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) The passing Administrator(s) will want to see more than 5 vandal edits before granting your request. I suggest using Twinkle and spend a couple days working Special:RecentChanges and get a little more vandal fighting history then re-apply. Mlpearc powwow 01:13, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) You seem to have only made about three reverts of vandalism, one with Twinkle. You should probably get some more experience before requesting the rollbacker right. Logan Talk Contributions 00:43, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 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!

Are you kidding me? I've been on Wikipedia since 2003 and have 14,000+ edits, including thousands of vandalism reverts. [1] I would do more if it wasn't a pain in the ass to do it, hence the request. Jpatokal (talk) 02:28, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On closer review, I note that your talk page bears numerous edit warring warnings and complaints regarding reverts you have made. In spite of your tenure on Wikipedia, you have not demonstrated to me that you understand the relevant policies required to use rollback properly, so I am not comfortable granting you access to the tool at this time. Please carefully review WP:AGF, WP:EW, and WP:VAN, make 50 or so reverts, and re-reqeust the tool. -FASTILY (TALK) 05:45, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I find your characterization of my record borderline offensive. My unedited and unarchived talk page aggregates every single comment I have received in 8 years on Wikipedia, including two (2) accusations of edit warring, meaning that 0.014% of my edits have been challenged. The first was utterly spurious and made by a user who was blocked shortly thereafter. The second was made after I reverted two (2) times, over 24 hours apart, to restore sourced content that was deleted with no explanation; see here for the tedious details.
So here's a simple challenge to you if you're still worried by the vast amounts of havoc I'll be able to wreck by reverting edits with a single click instead of two: find a single revert of mine that clearly violates the three policies you cite. Good luck! Jpatokal (talk) 12:04, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
