Rollback

(add requestview requests)
I am currently doing anti-vandalism and have done hundreds counter-vandalism edits. Unfortunately my rollback was removed and I was blocked due to a certain dispute. Although recently I have been allowed back and for that time have been editing in a good way. I want the rollback feature back so that I can use igloo for anti-vandalism like I had done before Thєíríshwαrdєn - írísh αnd prσud 08:20, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have had the reviewer right for a couple months and have been patrolling pages with Twinkle. Some things I have been encountering would be simpler to handle with rollback. The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 21:30, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I primarily use Twinkle, as well, but I am looking into using STiki, and it is my understanding that this requires Rollback rights. It is important to note that, while I have had no disciplinary action or controversial edits on Wikipedia, I do have only a limited article editing history (most of my work focuses on welcoming/warning others, and I just finished an adoption course and am working on a CVUA course), but I am a course instructor and definitely use tools to help Wikipedia, as can be seen through my contribution history. I'd like to request these rights with the assurance that I will use them for good only. Please note that I have been using my Reviewer and User Creator rights for good, if this is any indication. Also, I will be willing to have the rights taken away, of course, if I do not like STiki, as I'm pretty darn happy with Twinkle, anyhow. Cheers!

I currently use Twinkle and would like to try out WP:STiki. Although I have recently returned from an extended break, I still feel I am suitable for the tool and trustworthy in using it correctly and diligently. iComputerSaysNo 21:14, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm experienced in recent changes patrolling for vandalism and I have a strong understanding of the difference between good faith edits and bad faith vandalism edits. I have been using Twinkle extensively and have successfully reported several vandals to WP:AIV. QuantifiedElf (talk) 00:25, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I had rollback permissions before, which were removed when I became an admin. Now that I'm no longer an admin (revoked last year due to inactivity) I'd like to have the rollback permission so I can use the old AV tools again and get back into anti-vandalism. As I found out in the past few days, my slow connection means the old school method of checking recent changes manually is not very effective. Chamal TC 06:26, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
