I've been a huge contributer to the K&A Gang page amongst others. Making sure all the information is sourced and verifiable. However, there has been vandalism from person(s) in the Philadelphia area in order to removed a certain public figure known as John Berkery from the page. This person is well-documented by reputable media sources for involvement with the subject of the article. This same IP adress has been making a series of edits to remove the mentioning of the aforementioned criminal figure. I have manually reverted the vandalism. But I doubt that this campaign to stricken the page will cease anytime soon. Therefore, I'm requesting the ability to rollback these harmful and unproductive edits.

(Non-administrator comment) Weak Oppose - Not enough experience in my opinion, have you tried a tool called Twinkle. It provides many more tools that work much like rollbacker privileges. Frozen4322 : Chat 12:12, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I'm sorry, but you have insufficient experience in vandalism fighting for the rollback tool.--v/r - TP 16:12, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, fair enough. What would qualify me to have these priviliges. And how can one go about fighting vandalism? --LokiHavok (talk) 02:36, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There are a lot of different ways folks go about fighting vandalism, but you can start by patrolling Special:RecentChanges. There are a variety of things to watch out for, but the most common are page blankings and massive removals of text. Review the action to determine if it is a good faith edit or actual vandalism, undo, and leave a warning for the user.--v/r - TP 12:42, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I watch several pages like Shabbat and Yom Kippur that are frequently vandalized and would like to be able to use rollback to protect these and similar more effectively. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:23, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Based on what I have seen of StevenJ81's work (I watch several of the pages he is active on), I support his request. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:22, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Malik, I'd wish you'd have pushed the button instead of offering a support. I've reviewed the contribs and I have trouble completing this request based on a lack of experience with vandalism fighting. I'll leave it open for a 3rd administrator opinion.--v/r - TP 16:27, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm with you TP. I think, StevenJ81, the efforts you've put in are a great start, but there have only been a handful in the past few months. I'd suggest trying out a few more months with a concerted effort if you really have the interest, or at least continuing to make the solid contributions you have been thus far. Make sure you also revert to a good version! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 06:07, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK, then. Will do. StevenJ81 (talk) 11:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to have the rollback feature due to me wanting to revert vandalism easier, as I have seen and reverted vandalism multiple times already. David. S 06:14, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) Oppose - You do not have many, if any, recent anti-vandalism edits. For now, I'd suggest using Twinkle for reverting edits. Frozen4322 : Chat 12:15, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Sorry, but I'm just not seeing the vandalism effort. Your content contributions are a pleasure, so keep on keeping on! But if you're dying for vandalism work, you can start by checking out the Special:RecentChanges feed. I'm sure you'll pick it up quick. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:56, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi guys, thanks for the helpful feedback. David. S 07:49, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've been doing a lot of work with fixing vandal edits lately, and would like the ability to expand my ability to fight vandals here. SodaAnt Talk 06:28, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) Support Your recent edits show a strong understanding of when and how to revert vandalism. Frozen4322 : Chat 12:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Thanks for your work! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:51, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for requesting rollback Fycafterpro (talk) 03:57, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I patrol the recent changes page and look for vandalism edits. You can see this from the random articles I edit. Rollback would help me easily rollback many individual vandalism edits by one person. Thanks
