I have been dealing with a vandal who is not only harassing me, but has violated numerous Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I put in a complaint at ANI and got a lot of help from admin User:Diannaa. My complaint can be found here, so you can better understand the situation. My separate disucssion with Diannaa (on her talk page) can also be found here. Thanks.

- Also worth reviewing this comment by DendroNaja, accusing another editor of, inter alia, "[making] it about your own personal beliefs on homoeopathic medicine" merely because they removed this outrageous material that DendroNaja had added (and later re-added in an abridged form) to a species article. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- DendroNaja has done some good work in adding content and in taking an article to GA, but it would be unwise to use rollback in the type of issue he has mentioned here, which is a content dispute. Maybe he could withdraw his application for now, and come back in three months. I am aware of his situation due to a problem that was reported at WP:AN3. EdJohnston (talk) 20:57, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

- Most of my work on WP is looking for vandalism on recent changes, and access to this tool would make it easier. Nick Levine (talk) 09:32, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

- I have found several instances where there were subsequents edits made which were violation of Wikipedia guidelines, this permission will be helpful for me in a good way for reverting the vandal edits to the appropriate revision Gaurav Pruthitalk 12:31, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

- I've been in many situations where there was more than one edit by the same user that needs to be reverted, but must be done manually due to the editing conflict. It would really help me out a lot when I am reverting vandalism if I could have this helpful tool to use. I like to patrol recent changes sometimes and this would help me even more to make this a clean Wikipedia for the all of the viewers. Leoesb1032 (talk) 23:17, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 160 edits to mainspace, I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU and when you have made 200 or so edits you may wish to enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. only (talk) 23:29, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

- I am requesting the roll back right because I want to be able to revert vandalism with a single click of a mouse. I have also reverted vandalism many times on articles with fewer that 30 watchers. I currently use twinkle to assist with the removal of vandalism from stub and start class articles. Having the rollback rights will help me revert vandalism in a timely fashion. versace1608 (talk) 14:30, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

- I am constantly fighting against Vandalism which is very frustrating. This would really help me on my quest of stopping all vandalism on Wikipedia theworldgymnast1 (talk) 16:27, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- Not done Hi Theworldgymnast1, unfortunately, I don't see much in the way of anti-vandalism work in your contributions. To obtain the rollback tool, I recommend that you gain experience dealing with vandalism by using the undo feature and then re-apply in a few weeks or so. Best. Acalamari 16:50, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
- Nothing that this is the your second denied request for additional permissions in less than a month. Comments like this suggest you have a lot to learn about Wikipedia policy. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:54, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

- I've been on Wikipedia for 5 years and I think it would also help me revert vandalism more easily. prism △ 20:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
