Reason for requesting rollback Dalisays (talk) 22:56, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request rollback privileges. Recently, I have been responding to vandalism on the University of Hawaii page, and I think that it would be much easier to do so---as the vandalism continues---if I had the privilege. I think you will see after reviewing the article's history--that my contributions as such evidence my ability to judge the appropriateness of claims relative to sources provided. Dalisays (talk) 22:56, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) Only three edits to the University of Hawaii page (which did not concern the removal of obvious vandalism) combined with highly conservative use of the edit summary (56% for non-minor edits) conspire to make identifying this users' counter-vandalism experience difficult. I can't see any. Pol430 talk to me 17:59, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Pol430! Thanks for looking into my request. The University of Hawaii article and the University of Hawaii at Manoa article (the former I forgot to include in my original post) have recently been protected due to the vandalism. I would encourage you to look at my contributions to University of Hawaii at Manoa, in this regards going back to late February (considering as well that some of my contributions were rollbacked by others in the process of rolling back the actual vandalism). Dalisays (talk) 05:26, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please point to some specific reverts? I couldn't find any. Thanks. Acalamari 08:40, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) Looking at your contribs, the only thing I can see is reverts on two or three pages. None of which are the University of Hawaii, on the 4th of this month. I only looked in your recent 500 edits, but you seem to do most/all of your work at AFC which wouldn't required the need for rollback. Mrlittleirish 10:26, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Deathlaser

I know I look very new, but I have been contributing as an IP for 5 months. Yet my IP contribs are not showing! As an IP I could only undo, but now I have tried out the "rollback" with twinkle and think I am ready for it. It is very useful when I want to undo more then 1 change at the same time. Deathlaser (talk) 14:12, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) I only made an ac to use twinkle and other cool tools. Anyway, are you going to give rollback then.--Deathlaser (talk) 15:57, 10 April 2012 (UTC) User has edited every day since the 5th, has under 250 edits. Majority of edits are welcome templates on new users accounts. Not all undo actions explained. Mrlittleirish 15:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment)If you log out and then click this link you will be able to see your IP contributions.--Gilderien Talk|Contribs 15:59, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So done or not done. By the way that special link was very helpful, thank you.--Deathlaser (talk) 21:27, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment)If you click on the link, and then wikilink to that page here, an admin will be able to see your past reversions and edits.--Gilderien Talk|Contribs 09:11, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How does my IP keep on changing - every week the last 2 numbers keep changing. Who keeps changing my IP like that.--Deathlaser (talk) 14:06, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yout ISP (Internet Service Provider) doesn't assign you a static IP - You could contact them and request a static IP. Or, you could stay signed in, show that you make some good revert edits under your username, and then apply for Rollback. Keep up the good work. Mrlittleirish 14:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I will come back when I have a few more undo's.--Deathlaser (talk) 14:38, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have recently been using Stiki, can you please check my recent reverts and tell me if I am assuming too much good faith.--Deathlaser (talk) 13:16, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Clay

I don't want to have to trawl through the history of a page to find the last good version anymore; it is very tedious. Plus, this way my edit summaries will be automatically 100X better. ClayClayClay 18:43, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:YoterMimeni

I would really enjoy to use my wiki experience to my advantage. I use wikiHow, and have been using it for almost a year and a half. I wish to benefit Wikipedia, one way or another, and this could be a great way for me to help Wikipedia. Thank you! YoterMimeni (talk) 19:28, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Sorry - I appreciate you have edits on another Wiki but that doesn't add a lot of weight to requests here. With only ~80 edits I can't grant at this time - please use WP:UNDO for countering vandalism and reapply in the future. Pedro :  Chat  07:04, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Yasht101

I have 9500 edit counts and I have been using Twinkle since long time and patrolling recent changes (especially IP and Newbie). Most of my edits in article space are relating to reverts. I have made many rollbacks, but since few days, was creating templates, CATs etc, so wasn't active. But i resumed rollbacking today. I think that I have enough edits in undoing non-constructive edits to get the rights. So, am I eligible to get those rights? Yasht101 05:46, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment)-Has a good number of reverts...I think he is eligible. Srikar Kashyap (talk) 06:56, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I've added this right, but please remember to only use this for vandalism. Pedro :  Chat  07:06, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you I'll only use ir for Vandals Yasht101 07:57, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Allens

I am a heavy user of STiki and make some use of Twinkle, and would like to avoid the resulting server load from their simulations of rollbacks. For STiki, according to the STiki "leaderboard" I have done 5494 reverts with a total of 6 complaints to my talk page (a 0.11% rate) and none to administrators. Of these reverts, 5102 would have benefited from the rollbacker permission/flag. Thanks! Allens (talk | contribs) 14:35, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Swinquest

I frequently check newly edited pages to ensure the changes are legit. If they are not, then I do revert them back to the previous version - to ensure that this site can be utilized with the most accurate information. swinquest (talk) 15:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I originally granted this, but I'm unhappy with some edits that could be construed as edit warring, so for the time being I'm afraid not. Pedro :  Chat  16:12, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Done per detailed review and explanation around perceived "edit warring". Pedro :  Chat  17:09, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Deathlaser

I am another heavy Stiki user and according to the leader board, I have around 250 reverts - that's 250 times the rollback feature would have been useful. I have also warned around 10 users and reported 1 to wp:ANI. Deathlaser talk 17:03, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
