 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only {{{X}}} edits to the 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 if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. ::{{subst:RFPR|exp|X}} ~~~~ ::{{subst:RFPR|moreedits|X}} ~~~~
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. I see you just also applied for Pending Changes Reviewer. Let's see how you get on with that first and then we'll take another look again when you've made a few more edits. ::{{subst:RFPR|rvw}} ~~~~ ::{{subst:RFPR|alsorequestedreviewer}} ~~~~
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. This is not what Rollback is for. Take a moment to read Wikipedia:Rollback and if that's what you would like to do, you can then check out the Counter Vandalism Unit to learn more. ::{{subst:RFPR|nrb}} ~~~~ ::{{subst:RFPR|notrollback}} ~~~~

User:Gial Ackbar

I've been reverting a lot edits (most limited to certain topics) in the last time. While some of them were good faith edits, and I understand why rollback should not be used on them, a lot of them were repeated similar edits of the same IP person adding useless, unsourced trivia. As this user has been warned not to do this several time and his IP should not be blocked for a longer time period because of constructive edits from the same IP, I would be glad to have a tool to revert those nonconstructive edits faster. I also use rollback for some time on the German Wikipedia for some time now, so far with no complains, see here Gial Ackbar (talk) 11:16, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve done some more anti-vandalism in the recent time, but not having rollback leads to a lot of waisted time, because it slows my reverting. I would be happy if a decision about this request could be made soon. Gial Ackbar (talk) 12:18, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Are the edits you are talking about a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia? An edit might not be constructive but it isn't necessarily a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Rollback should only be used where the edits are a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. GB fan 12:28, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I know I should give a reason when reverting good faith edits. I've read the pages linked at the top, and would not make this request if were not going to follow their instructions. However, when a user dose the same kind of nonconstructive edits several times, despited being warned several time, enough reasons where given and rollback in adequate. For example most of those edits could have been rollbacked. Gial Ackbar (talk) 12:39, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Are the edits you are talking about a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia? And do you know why I am asking it this way? GB fan 12:42, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the edits I'm planing to revert are "a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia" as the user was warned several times, reverted several hundred times and blocked two times and therefor definitely knows that those edits are not improving Wikipedia. However, he keeps doing them despited knowing that they are not improving Wikipedia. Therefor, while harming Wikipedia may or may not be his primary goal, he is at last willingly accepting to do it. I would call that "a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia". For your second question: You asked this because Rollback should only be used on those edits. Therefor, if my answer would not truthfully be "Yes", I should not use Rollback and therefor not be granted those rights at this moment. Gial Ackbar (talk) 12:56, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Wackyike

Hi there. I know that my request last month for rollback was declined but I now have done more reverting vandalism with STiki and have reviewed a few pending changes. Wackyike (talk) 20:34, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Looks like you may still have some trouble distinguishing what is a good faith edit ([1][2]). You're otherwise off to a great start, I think, just need a little more experience before you can be trusted with rollback. Give it another month or two of active counter-vandalism efforts and I think you'll be ready. Thank you for your efforts to protect Wikipedia — MusikAnimal talk 00:42, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kindzmarauli

I've returned after a bit of time off and would like to request this tool for help with rolling back recent changes vandalism. Kindzmarauli (talk) 21:14, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Only a few reverts since returning from your extended WikiBreak. You should also get into the habit of warning users after reverting their disruptive edits. Feel free to re-request once you have a more extensive editing history clearly showing an understanding of what constitutes vandalism. The counter-vandalism unit is a great place to learn more about fighting vandalism. — MusikAnimal talk 00:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Param Mudgal

I am requesting for this permission so that i can use WP:Huggle ,WP:STiki and other tools to remove vandalism faster from wikipedia. I have read WP:Rollback carefully before requesting. Param Mudgal (talk) 11:04, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done A quick review of your last 50 edits shows a few problems: some of your reversions were good, but you have failed to notify/warn editors appropriate. Some of your reversions should never have been performed, as it was a content dispute. Others have no valid description of why. Keep working on these items - we appreciate the focus on vandals. the panda ɛˢˡ” 11:27, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:VeNeMousKAT

Hello, I was doing the CVUA and [I was told] to apply for rollback here. I want rollback to fight vandalism with STiki and/or Huggle and make wiki a better place. I have also read WP:ROLL. VeNeMousKAT (talk|contribs) 16:55, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Even with only 70 edits to the mainspace, your anti-vandal work looks excellent, and I'm sure your mentor means well by endorsing you. Unfortunately it's just too soon, and I have some worries based on the block log. That being said, I see rollback in your near future. Please reapply after you've got a few hundred more edits under your belt. Thanks for helping keep Wikipedia clean. — MusikAnimal talk 02:24, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I've never actually realized the block log. Thanks for noticing that. Looks like we've got even more work to do.  ΤheQ Editor  Talk? 13:32, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) In reply to a message he sent me on the 19th, I suggested he think about getting rollback for use of huggle and STiki once he was more experienced. Well, a bit more than this haha. He seems eager and despite the block log, he is learning fast, I'd think a couple more weeks with more editing like he has been and then definitely imo. —Frosty ☃ 00:04, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:StevenD99

I am a long-term user of this site, having created the account I use today a year ago, in August 2013. However, before that I had an even older account called Steve2011 with edits dating back to summer 2009. I revert vandalism a lot and I am very experienced with reverting vandalism, I know what vandalism is and what it's not, in fact I knew how to revert vandalism since I first created my old account. I know this request is long overdue seems like, but I wanted to wait until my birthday to make a request. Today's my birthday BTW (well, yesterday according to UTC time but where I live it's still the afternoon of the 20th), and it would be a great birthday present to be granted the rollback right once again (I used to have rollback a long time ago under my old account). I also wanted to check out the newer versions of Huggle and I wanted to try out STiki for the first time. Thanks! StevenD99 00:09, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done based on recent and previous account history, not because of the perceived significance of 20 August. Nonetheless, I do wish you a happy birthday. — MusikAnimal talk 02:50, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Frenzie23

I would like to prevent vandalism on Wikipedia, which is unacceptable. I have read WP:ROLL. Frenzie23 (talk) 08:02, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I do not see a lot of anti-vandal work using the normal toolset. I also see extensive userspace edits, and a horrible record of not using edit-summaries. Yes, vandalism is unacceptable, but you need to work on it using what you have now - including appropriate warnings where required - before additional tools. Keep up the gnomish work you've been doing! the panda ɛˢˡ” 10:31, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
