- Reason for requesting goes here
Hi, I'm a pt.wikipedia user and I usually make small edits on en.wikipedia, mainly interwikis. I would like to increase my contribution in other areas, particularly in combating vandalism. If you look my rights on toolserver, you see I am autopatroller on meta and sysop on ptwiki.

- (Non-administrator comment) Hi, Willy. You are doing an excellent job removing vandalism. But the fact is that you've only 101 edits, as of now. You may be granted this right if you have a bit more experience in Wikipedia. That said, that's just my comment. Dipankan says.. ("Be bold and edit!") 10:52, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

- Reverting Vandalism is the main task I perform at Wikipedia. And very frequently, I come across articles in my watchlist that have been vandalized by several IP users. It would be easier to be able to roll back 2 or more such edits with one click. Thank you -Msrag (talk) 05:08, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

- Frequently encountering multiple vandalism
- Most of my activity is vandalism patrolling on a fairly limited number of articles (about 50, aside from cases where I follow an editor's contributions to other vandalized articles). About 5% of these cases involve people making multiple edits before being noticed, which can be quite tiresome to restore. See, for example, today, Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca with [1], and Tapas with [2] Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 23:17, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

- I am aware and frequently use the quite helpful rollback feature of twinkle for reverting vandalism and i can differentiate between intentional and unintentional disruptive editing which i frequently come across on the articles (specially Indian) that i edit, If they are from new editors i always make sure i leave a welcome msg or explanation on their talk pages, to prevent future disruption. I have also used scripts like citation bot, reflink, AWB, hotcat, dab solver, etc so I feel i will be able to make good use of huggle (or igloo etc), and save my time while navigating the recent changes so that i can cover more articles.

- (Non-administrator comment) You do have the understanding of vandalism and how to deal with it, yet from your contributions (don't mean to be a edit stalker or whatever) your edits to combat vandalism are generally low in amount. Abhijay What did I do this time? 14:35, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- your observation (which i duly respect) may be due to my edit summary as i dont tag every disruptive edit as vandalism. I think i have handled sufficient vandalism related cases.neverthless, I leave it for you to decide. regards-- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 15:00, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
