User:GoShow

This user is usually at the recent changes sections and is willing to do more in counter-vandalism. I am well respected in helping other user's info with representation provided.

Finally, if you think I am not ready yet, possibly close to using the situation, I would be happy to know why, otherwise, I do look forward to Wikipedia's cause, and thank you.

I've fixed the formatting of your request for you since your links went to random other users' contributions, talkpage, etc. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:34, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please respond to this query first. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:05, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did. I said I spotted them on a STiki preview, but no worries, I said I caught on them I couldn't use the the buttons anyway--GoShow (...............) 04:58, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, I would rather call it a preview it's on the Wikipedia:STiki section called "Download". I downloaded a preview* STiki 2.1 – Current version released 2012-07-18 (902 kB) shown on my Java Documents. I am beginning to be interested in this, and that is why every time I open the preview to see what articles are vandalised and just edited recently just to check on articles and other conditions. Sorry if I called it Java STiki, it just appeared on my Java documents and checked on the neat stuff, thanks, anyway.--GoShow (...............) 05:10, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I modified the above message to be more page friendly -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk No talkback needed; I'll temporarily watch here. 05:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment)The above incident has been clarified on User talk:GoShow and it was done in good faith, so IMO it should not be seen as a hurdle to assign WP:ROLLBACK.--DBigXray 07:09, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Zeeyanketu

I frequently update boxoffice numbers of bollywood movies and always find some vandalism every hour so thats the reason --Zeeyanketu ✉ 21:08, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Your talk page history demonstrates that you do not yet have sufficient experience or knowledge of policies. Please apply again later when your editing has been problem free for a while. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:20, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ymblanter

I am actually a global rollbacker for already a couple of years, but it looks that global rollbackers can not edit article feedback whereas rollbackers can, so that I request the local rollbacker flag. I guess I qualify anyway. Ymblanter (talk) 16:29, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Enormous content and maintenance work demonstrates more than enough experience. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 18:43, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:44, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:John F. Lewis

I am a new (But very enthusiastic) editor. My focus for Wikipedia is to work actively on preventing vandalism and as a way to do this, I believe Rollback rights will be very supportive to use to fight vandalism. I know Rollback is a tool which should not be abused and I have no intention of abusing it. I have an extensive look at edits to see whether they are vandalism. If you feel I am inexperienced to use such a tool, before declining me why not question me or give a scenario to back up your reasoning, that would be nice. John F. Lewis (talk) 01:58, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Your enthusiasm is much appreciated John, but please make at least a hundred manual counter-vandalim to mainspace first so that we can have some metrics of your performance. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:53, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Alright John F. Lewis (talk) 09:51, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Steel1943

I am requesting rollback rights for a few reasons. First reason: I have been doing a lot of work lately that has involved me with working on redirects; there are some redirects that previously had enough information in them to be their standalone article (which could be reverted with a rollback [due to there now being 5+ more edits on the redirect article to correct where the redirect should direct towards]). Over time, the article which some of these redirects point towards end up having less detailed (and cited) information that what used to be on the article that was turned into a redirect.
In addition, I have run across some situations where rollback could be required if there are edits made after vandalism to articles. In these cases, the second editor did not realize that the previous edit was vandalism, and since a new edit has now been placed, the vandalism cannot just be "undone."
Thank you for your consideration. Steel1943 (talk) 04:42, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done The rollback tool must only be used for clear cases of vndalism - I therefore don't quite see any application for it in your work on redirects. Please consider making some significant manual vandalism reverts, and then apply again. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:57, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Victor Yus

I undo the vandalism edits that pop up fairly regularly on my watchlisted pages. Would be nice to be able to do it in just one click. Victor Yus (talk) 05:44, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Excellent work on linguistics, but I don't see much concentrated work on counter-vandalism. pPease make a significant number of manual reverts and then reapply. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:06, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot :( I didn't say I was doing concentrated anti-vandalism work, it just comes up regularly as a matter of course when I observe my watchlist, and rollback would save me time in doing that. I don't think you have any reason to suppose that I would misuse the tool (and you can take it away again if I do). Please reconsider; rollback isn't just for dedicated vandal-fighters, all of us can benefit from it. Victor Yus (talk) 09:52, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see a few more CV reverts so that we can judge, and let me know on my talk page when you're ready. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:51, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Rafy

I regularly make hundreds of reverts a month and I reckon Huggle would make my job easier. Rafy talk 17:55, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Having checked your recent edits, although they may be justified for other reasons, I'm not entirely sure that all your undos and reverts are genuine cases of blatant vandalism. I would like to see plenty of manual reverts of clear vandalims before according you this tool. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:50, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Abhishek191288

I am active at reverting vandalism. This tool will be helpful to me. — Abhishek  Talk 19:26, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) This user was recently blocked for editwarring.--DBigXray 23:19, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. In many cases, reverts of vandalism need to be explained to the user. I'm concerned that you comments may be a tad bitey. If you are going to get involved in maintenance tasks such as CV, you will also need to be prepared to answer users' questions fairly promptly. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:08, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
@DBigXray, the block was over a year ago. And if you do want to know about the second EW block, all I was trying to do was revert an IP who was redirecting the article to a wrong one and moreover the article deserved to be a standalone, but despite that I was blocked saying I was EW and I did not care to request an unblock. I agree it was my mistake in my first EW block, but I have come across some users who are constantly blocked for EW, but the community still retains their rollback rights. This just shows how the community is very intolerant to some people taking just one or two incidents and always being against them and on the other hand being very tolerant and patient to some who have a history of edit warring and/or a battleground mentality. No wonder a handful of editors just want to get out from here. This place is going crazy! — Abhishek  Talk 07:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
DBigXray's comments were not taken into consideration when making this decision. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:57, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kutsuit

I would like to have the rollback feature because I've already been involved in dealing with vandalism in multiple articles, and it is extremely tiring to constantly undo or revert edits, especially when multiple IPs are vandalizing a specified article on a continuous minute-by-minute basis. I'd like to have the opportunity to use the rollback feature because I believe it'll make it easier for me to combat vandalism in the articles that I've added to my watchlist. In the end, it's not mine to decide but I hope I can get this opportunity. Thanks. :-) --Nadia (talk) 21:23, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. You only have around 100 edits and most of them appear to be to one page. I'm not sure that you understand the difference between pure vandalism and possible good faith but wrong contributions. You may also wish to check out WP:3RR, and WP:ENGVAR. You might also like to consider using a signature that accurately reflects your user name - it will avoid a lot of confusion if you are going to get involved in maintenance work. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:31, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
My signature was already changed before you had to look at this request, thanks to user Theopolisme who informed me about the confusion. I appreciate your points of rejecting giving me the rollback feature, but I was definitely combating vandalism in its purest sense, not so-called "good faith contributions". There's no good faith contributor who keeps undoing other people's work despite being told nothing is official yet, or the other IP user who kept saying "Liver-fool" instead of "Liverpool". My contributions haven't been only to one page. I've been reverting vandalism in at least 3 pages in the past couple of weeks, and these weren't good faith contributions either, they were obvious vandalism. Thanks anyway.--Nadia (Kutsuit) (talk) 08:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sesamevoila

I was sufficiently alarmed by the amount of vandalism I came across in my watched pages that I did some research and figured out that the best way to learn how to fix this problem was to enroll at the Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy. I have completed my stint there and been quite active in watching out for vandalism and reverting using Twinkle and STiki. I would also like to use Huggle and Igloo and I believe this requires rollback privileges. Hence, this request Sesamevoila (talk) 19:41, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. NPP mentee of mine. Has over 3,500 edits and has been around for over 5 years. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:46, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nyswimmer

Reason for requesting rollback Nyswimmer (talk) 03:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would like rollback privileges because I edit primarily for vandalism, and it would make my job so much easier. I will be very careful to use it only when needed, as I read up on the rules and rights of have rollback privileges. I have been a part of Wikipedia for over a year, and have not received any complaints about any of my edits.--Nyswimmer (talk) 03:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. You've only made 77 edits in over a year, and less than 50 are vandalism reverts. I'd like to see at least a couple of hundred manual reverts . Also, your talk page is blank without any archives; that's entirely your prerogative of course, but it would make it so much easier for us to see how you would handle communications with others.
