Rollback

(add requestview requests)


I have been watching several articles and reverting an vandalism. Rollback could make it easier. meshach (talk) 22:42, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I mainly do anti-vandalism stuff on both Simple and English Wiki and would like to be able to use WP:Huggle on here. If you have any other queries, just pop a message on my talk page. I know I don't have the largest edit count as I am new, but I would like access to be able to use Huggle when I can.

 Not done. 65 article edits is simply not enough experience to even consider granting any sort of advanced permission. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:50, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've been fighting vandalism for 3 years with lupins anti-vandal tool and twinkle and most my 800+ edits have been done in the fight against vandalism. I wish to have rollback because I wish to fight vandalism stronger and harder. I have a strong understanding what vandalism is and I Hope I get approved. thank you Jeffrd10 (talk) 13:51, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I already rollback obvious vandalism using Twinkle, but it'd be handy to have rollback on my watchlist, too. Thanks. Rinne na dTrosc (talk) 18:19, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I revert vandalism when I see it and it'd be a bit quicker with rollback. I've been using Twinkle, but have found that it isn't quick enough to revert multiple unconstructive edits simultaneously. Upon reading up on Huggle and other tools, I'd definitely like to be able to revert vandalism more efficiently, but lack Rollback to do this. S SET (U-T-C-E) 18:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fight vandalism and I have observed the Wikipedia rules what is vandal and what vandal is not. It would be helpful if I granted permission with Rollback features. Thanks --    L o g  X   19:53, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback would be much easier for combatting articles that have been vandalized. I had been given this right previously but never used it. Hughesdarren (talk) 03:51, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There's no record of that in your logs, and the right is not taken away for not being used, rather it is only removed if misused. So I am a bit curious about why you think you had it before. Perhaps you are confusing it with the WP:REVIEWER permission, which you have had since 2010. This makes me slightly worried that you do not really understand this user right despite having a decent track record but I'm going to go ahead and grant it anyway, please be sure you do know what it is and is not for when you begin using it. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:21, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are right, I must have confused rollbacker with reviewer, but I have read up and rollback and will use it only when necessary. Thanks for granting the right to use and sorry for the confusion. Hughesdarren (talk) 00:26, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I watchlist around 2000 pages for vandalism and currently use Stiki and Twinkle, but rollback would make it easier. — Reatlas (talk) 07:09, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to help with STiki, I like the collaborative approach and the human touch in identifying possible vandalism. However though I have well over 1000 edits STiki says I don't have the privileges: I think because when you subtract talk page edits it's less than 1000. I've been editing since 2006. I'd be grateful if I could have rollback permission so that I can use STiki. asnac (talk) 07:25, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've been watching pages and editing them to avoid vandalism, it would be of great help if I could rollback the pages on my watch list. Thank you.
