Rollback

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

Please review Wikipedia:Rollback before making a request. Applicants with fewer than 200 mainspace edits are unlikely to be granted this right. More importantly, applicants must have a measurable track record of counter-vandalism and no recent history of edit warring. The counter-vandalism training program is available if you wish to gain experience in handling vandalism.

Hello, someone at the CVU forum recommended that I apply for rollback rights so that I can do more to assist with identifying and taking action against vandalism. I am still relatively inexperienced but have seen a lot of disruption and I think all well-intentioned editors should do what they can to help. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. Thank you very much. Izzat Kutebar (talk) 18:13, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • A quick look at your last 500 contribs to the mainspace (unless i'm glazing over it) shows very little vandalism reverting. Am I missing it? Also, you have a very small amount of edits to user talkpages which I would expect to be a significant portion of edits for a potential rollbacker as we notify people for bad edits. Could you please explain these? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 20:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@DeltaQuad: The most recent 500 edits (from 29 June) have been focused on article development, in which I've been very busy. Please see edits from 24 to 29 June when I had much more time for investigation. I would especially mention this SPI which identified five puppets. Thanks.

Good evening. I've been giving some thought to this and I've decided that this is not what I joined the site to do, although I will certainly combat any vandalism I encounter while editing. I have most to offer and gain by working on articles and categories. I really don't think searching for idiots is my thing and, as you have pointed out above, I will not do it if I'm busy with article development. Therefore, would you please close this application. Thank you for considering it, though. Izzat Kutebar (talk) 18:15, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Izzat Kutebar: If you ever reconsider, i'd be happy to rereview things for you. Let us know. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 18:40, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@DeltaQuad: Thank you. I'll bear it in mind. All the best. Izzat Kutebar (talk) 19:15, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I often come across vandalism (Specifically through working on the WP:PW wiki project), and would like to use the rollbacker rights to prevent some aditional vandalism that the project has faced due to the new WP:GS/PW, and conversations that have arisen due to a change in the Manual of Style towards fancruft. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:48, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I search through your last 1000 edits for Warning or Vandalism in the edit summary and I only come up with 4 vandalism reverts. Could you please further explain your need for the the tool and reexplain the MoS comment you made above? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 03:30, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, DeltaQuad. I usually use the "restore this version" function when reverting vandalism, and Twinkle to warn users for this (Although, I have recently been using the "Disruptive editing" over Vandalism tags.) The Pro Wrestling WikiProject has recently recieved an influx of new users, generally IPs, regarding the removal of a decade long section from all Wrestling articles (Known as "In Wrestling", that lists a characters moveset, entrance music and misc information), that was deemed WP:FANCRUFT. I've noticed an awful lot of these editors have been disruptive editing (By returning the removed content), but often also by vandalising pages, or blanking pages in general. The proposal has stopped, awaiting a formal change in WP:VPP, however, if the proposal passes, (Or, I suppose, even if it doesn't), vandalism may actually get worse. Please see WT:PW#In Wrestling for details on the conversation, and the Wikipedia:General sanctions/Professional wrestling for examples of the vandalism sustained.
If this is not enough to warrant the use of the rights, please accept my apologies. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:25, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would like rollback rights as I often watch the Recent Changes page and revert clear vandalism. It's a tiring process and that's why I am requesting the rollback button. I always warn users on their talk page with the template I feel is correct to help them understand Wikipedia rules. MutchyMan112 (talk) 19:50, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I normally wouldn't be ok with handing out rollback who is just over 15 days old. But I see you have a solid handle on vandalism and amassed 310 edits in 3 days reverting it. Therefore, I will  Grant you rollback for a period of 7 days as a trial. After that, you can reapply here, and if everything checks out, be granted it permanently. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 03:15, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have a lot of experience reverting vandalism with Twinkle , and I assure that I meet the criteria (if any) for Rollback rights . Another reason is that many rollback users beat me to reverting a page blanking , so I would like to have Rollback rights to revert more quickly .

Greetings. I am passionate about Wikipedia and enjoy learning from both new and long-time members. I have been using Twinkle to revert malicious activity but am especially interested in cases where I can educate users who may just be unaware of Wikipedia’s policies. I am requesting Rollback to better combat vandalism and help to maintain the integrity of the platform. Thank you! Schistocyte (talk) 02:01, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done looks like you've only actually reverted vandalism on ~4 total days in your editing career. Come back when you have a bit more experience and consider WP:CVUA. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:04, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@TonyBallioni: Thank you for reviewing my request. So I know in the future, can you please let me know how I am able to access/calculate the number of days spent reverting? Looking through my contribs, I counted at least 8 days of vandalism reverts (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong).
Finally, while I respect your decision, I would ask that you consider my frustration to have this request denied when a request sent a couple of hours earlier was temporarily approved after “3 days” of reverts (see MutchyMan112’s request above). Regards, Schistocyte (talk) 03:00, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I scanned your last 500 contribs. You’re right, there’s more than 4 (January and June 2017 ran together for me.) The general point still stands: not much actual experience here. You’ve only done anti-vandal work in July during this year, and are largely inactive. I’m uncomfortable granting rollback at this time. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:10, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
