Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback

This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
This notice will be automatically removed by MusikBot (talk) when the backlog is cleared.

Rollback

(add request • view requests)

Please familiarize yourself with Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback before making a request.

Misuse of the feature, even if unintentional or in good faith, may give cause for it to be removed.

To make a request, please follow the instructions below:

NOTE: It is unlikely that users with fewer than 200 mainspace edits will be granted the use of this tool. Please consider enrolling at the Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit/Academy to learn more about handling vandalism.

Fill in the form below, replacing "Reason for requesting rollback rights" with a brief reason for requesting the right. Do not make any other changes. Do not sign the request – your signature will be added automatically.
1. If you do not see the form, go back to the page, and click "add request".
Please wait for your request to be approved or denied, checking back periodically so you can respond to any queries.
If you would like to withdraw your request, use the {{withdrawn}} template with ::{{withdrawn}} ~~~~

Requests that do not meet the above criteria will be delayed or removed.

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

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}} ~~~~`

Would be helpful in pages that I monitor post NPP and AfC and also some high profile pages I follow. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 22:17, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I like editing on Wikipedia, I spend more time here than on any social websites :P. Initially I used to do only minor edits related to referencing, adding a line etc, now I have started writing, expanding, formatting, reviewing and editing the articles for neutrality etc. I feel this will help in the process to fight for vandalism on Wikipedia. Thanks! Vivek.bekhabar (talk) 08:01, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. We're happy to have you helping Wikipedia! However, Rollback is an anti-vandalism tool. Based on your editing history, it looks like you are not involved in anti-vandalism activities and have no particular demonstrated need for this tool in your work, nor experience with which to judge this request. Please see WP:ROLLBACK for more information on this user right and Wikipedia:Rollback#Requesting rollback rights for the qualifications. They're not high, but we do want to see experience in this area to demonstrate competence in identifying what is and isn't vandalism and properly warning vandals. If you are interested in becoming a vandal fighter, check out the Counter-Vandalism Unit for information on how to get involved! And if you choose to do so, don't hesitate to come back and re-request rollback after a couple weeks of vandal fighting! We would love to have you on the team. I see no problems in granting this request should you gain a bit of experience. Swarm ^{we ♥ our hive} 19:59, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Swarm, Thank you...got it! Vivek.bekhabar (talk) 09:36, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I mainly edit TV show pages, and these especially experience heavy vandalism because many people want to edit their favorite TV shows without understanding the policies governing Wikipedia. When people make many consecutive edits that end up deteriorating the page, it is up to editors like me to manually fix their mistakes, which takes time. I would like to have this right, so I can quickly restore pages damaged by vandals, in order to preserve the integrity of Wikipedia. Rswallis10 (talk) 03:26, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
