Rollback

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
Shortcuts
Please review Wikipedia:Rollback before making a request. Successful applicants will usually have:
  1. At least 200 mainspace edits.
  2. At least a month of experience patrolling Special:RecentChanges.
  3. No recent history of edit warring.
  4. A track record of consistently notifying editors when reverting their edits.
The counter-vandalism training program is available if you wish to gain experience in handling vandalism.

Hi! I think that the rollback function would be useful for me, because I'm undoing very much vandalism and are a Recent changes patroller. If I could roll back vandalism it would be so much easier. Affe2011 (talk) 15:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 08:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are right, I try to warn users, but sometimes failing. I try to do i though. But it was yesterday I startet to warn, because I didn't know you could do that if you weren't a rollbacker. So I have tried warning since yesterday, but sometimes other users are faster. I'm going to warn users if not somebody else is faster. Affe2011 (talk) 09:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've warned today too and i promise i'll going to continue doing that, just so you know. Affe2011 (talk) 12:44, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for confirming. I've reviewed your recent edits which look better. However, I think you could benefit from more experience before I assign you advanced permissions. Upon further review, I see you edit for a few days, then drop off for a few weeks/months at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges before reapplying. I also note that you haven't made any reports to AIV, which is an important process for any serious anti-vandalism patroller. As such, closing as  Not done. -Fastily 02:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I understand. Affe2011 (talk) 08:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for requesting rollback rights Hi! I would like to have rollback rights, because I keep seeing persistant Vandalism in articles, I usually warn editors and or IP users about that and I use Twinkle for that too. And I usually revert vandalism but It usually doesn't work properly because of my computer problems. Thanks! Starixxgamerrix (talk) 05:13, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done See the notice at the top of this page. You've barely made any contributions to the mainspace, let alone done any anti-vandalism work. -Fastily 02:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nihonjoe

I have thousands of pages on my watchlist, and having rollback makes it easier to revert any vandalism I run across. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 17:30, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Only because it was part of the admin package. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Honestly I'm not seeing a legitimate need to grant you this tool. I reviewed your last 2000 contributions going back to April 2023 and found exactly zero uses of rollback. Please feel free to make a new request if you become active in RC patrol. Thanks, Fastily 20:58, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Me Da Wikipedian

Mainly want them so that I can use a lot of the anti-vandalism tools, many of which are unusable/much more annoying without rollback. Also a few instances where in actual rollback would be helpful. I have done a lot of anti-vandalism work. I had 5 reverts at the very beginning that were problematic (my thinking is explained at my talk page), but I think I've gotten more aware of the policies and there has only been one other issue with my reverts since, which was caused mostly by the fact that I didn't realize there was an ongoing edit war, just saw an edit summary of "." removing content, and reverted.

I have read Wikipedia:Rollback and understood it. I know what is intentional disruptive editing/vandalism, and a good faith mistake. For example, a typo is usually an honset mistake, and blanking a page is usually intentional, particularly if done repeatedly.

Done a lot of anti vandalism work. I have like 140 edit to the user talk space, vast majority of which are warning for bad edits. Searching "revert" brings up 120 results in my contributions, the vast majority of which are me reverting vandalism.

Thank you and have a nice day! Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'Successful applicants will usually have: at least a month of experience patrolling Special:RecentChanges."
Your account was created on 28/03/2024 - less than one month ago, which already means you have not met that point well. Furthermore - I see several editors & administrators have had to remind you several times about your mistakes. While I am not implying you are a vandal or a problematic user of any sort - are you sure additional privileges are something you feel as if you're ready to undertake this early?

 Not done given the many, many complaints/warnings on OP's talk page. Me Da Wikipedian, at this point you're closer to being blocked than securing elevated permissions. -Fastily 00:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, wow! What should I do to improve/when would it be appropriate for me to come back @Fastily Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 10:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(non-admin comment) Do some decent editing, patrol RC for a month+ and do well to the point where admins are not on your back. That's my advice. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:TheTechie

I am TheTechie. I was suggested by User:Synorem to become a rollbacker as I, at least in their words, am encouraged to apply for rollback. I meet the requirements as follows:

  1. As of this writing, I have 448 undeleted mainspace edits. 448 > 200
  2. I have been patrolling recent changes for a month+.
  3. I have not edit warred recently (frankly, I don't remember edit warring at all since I got this account)
  4. I consistently notify editors when I revert their edits which appear to be vandalism, and where there would be an obvious need to do so.

Requesting permission because of these reasons. Thanks --- thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious why you felt it was appropriate to add yourself to add yourself as a CVUA trainer when you clearly lack the necessary experience (and then respond very defensively when Cassiopeia correctly called you out for it). There's also a lot of recent warnings/complaints on your talk page concerning basic understanding of our policies/guidelines. I'd prefer that requesters have a good understanding of these things before assigning them advanced permissions. Perhaps you'd like to comment on that? -Fastily 23:28, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
