I would like to revert edits by banned users who are not allowed to edit. Pasindu Kavinda  Talk 12:49, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Sorry but you don't have any real experience of reversion / vandal fighting. I suggest you use WP:UNDO for now. Pedro :  Chat  12:57, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Pedro. You're definitely going to need more experience before you can be trusted with the rollback tool. That said, if you want the rollback tool, show us that you need it! Go to Special:RecentChanges and make 50 or so vandalism reverts, either with the undo function, or the userscript, Twinkle. One you have done that, come back and request the tool again. -FASTILY (TALK) 23:20, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Furries

I've been actively reverting vandalism using Twinkle for awhile now, and feel that I'd be more productive in antivandalism activities if I was granted rollback, so I can use tools such as Huggle for antivandalism. I'm no stranger to the Rollback tool, I've had it on a Wikia wiki since last April, which I'm now an administrator on. Furries (Talk) 15:37, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Editor note Your edit count is relatively low but, looking through your reverts it's clear you know the difference between good faith edits and vandalism. Keep up the good work. Mlpearc powwow 16:27, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bluefist

I've been using Twinkle for 3 months now, new page patrolling at first, and now recent change patrolling. I think using Huggle and/or igloo to revert/rollback vandalism is much faster and easier than Twinkle, and will allow me to revert/rollback vandalism faster. I might use Huggle to place tags on new pages (a while after they are made of course). Only awhile ago I learned the rules to rollbacking (my biggest error was reverting non vandalism and good faith, but unhelpful edits), but I think I have the hang of it now.

I believe that the ability to use rollback would improve my capacity for correcting vandalism. Z4ngetsu (talk) 01:29, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. You have little to no recent experience fighting real vandalism here on Wikipedia. If you want the rollback tool, show us that you need it! Go to Special:RecentChanges and make 50 or so vandalism reverts, either with the undo function, or the userscript, Twinkle. One you have done that, come back and request the tool again. -FASTILY (TALK) 01:33, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bstbll

I know I'm really new to Wikipedia, but I've been very active about finding and reverting vandalism since I joined (the majority of the ~200 edits I've made since my account was created four days ago were related to vandalism). I feel like having Rollback would help me quite a bit in terms of fighting vandalism, particularly since I could use Huggle. Like I said, I know I'm new, but I believe the amount of time I've spent fighting vandalism since I joined speaks to my dedication, although I will completely understand if my request is denied because of this.

User:Torchwoodtwo

I used to edit under the name Torchwoodwho until an unsuccessful RFA. I decided to take a wikibreak and scrambled my password so I wouldn't get tempted to come back before I was ready... well, I lost that password. I'm requesting rollback so I can regain my access to huggle and pick up where I left off. I believe Fastily was the editor who approved me previously. Thank you.

User:Adamrce

I've been spending extra-time, at night (American sleeping time), reviewing and tracking vandals' contribution and making sure that the vandaled articles are reverted to the cleanest revision; however, reviewing was recently cancelled, so I'll be mostly working on vandals. I've used TW for sometime, but I think HG will help me perform more achievements. Also, I've realized how effective it is to provide the IP-owner-tag to continues IP vandals. ~ AdvertAdam talk 09:31, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: You were blocked about a month ago for edit warring. What has changed since then? If granted rollback, what measures will you take to ensure that you do not use the tool to gain an upper-hand in future content disputes? -FASTILY (TALK) 09:46, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I regret being in an edit-war back-then (I was removing a misleading content when the other editor refused to discuss it). I've learned from that incident that tagging is more polite, while it also informs the reader that there's a dispute. I've been more flexible since then, and started to give more time to discussions (especially with newcorner violators). Even my editing percentage is now mostly talk-pages, instead of mostly articles.
I prefer not to use a tool/authority when I'm not sure about my decision (or knowledge). As an example, when I'm not positive that an edit is a vandel, I use "TW rollback" with a note, instead of "TW vandal rollback". Also, I use to refuse to make a decision with my reviewer rights when I wasn't sure. ~ AdvertAdam talk 10:11, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done That'll do. Thanks, FASTILY (TALK) 10:16, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Thepoliticalmaster

I have probably no chance of getting this but I've been using Twinkle so far to rollback vandalism and I have heard that Huggle is quicker and easier to do this from the IRC channel but I need to have rollback privileges in order for this to happen. Would you please at least be able to give me some advice of how many more edits and how much more time I should be fighting vandalism for Wikipedia for. Thanks a lot. :-) --Thepoliticalmaster PoliMasterTalk @ 14:05, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: Have you edited under another account. Most users don't turn up and start editing their .js on the first edit [1] Pedro :  Chat  14:17, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Couple of years back, I had an account and it just wasn't used but I used to do things regularly then. Couldn't remember the username so I just created another account. Thanks! :-) --Thepoliticalmaster (talk) 14:34, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough! In answer to your question you've been making good use of undo (but calling another editor a twat in an edit summary - however provoked you feel is not a good idea); however you're really only been active today. Give it a few days of consistent use of Twinkle and I'd be happy to add the flag. Pedro :  Chat  14:43, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote 'If twat wants to remove his that is up thim as it would be against policy for me to remove it!' - with keyboard errors I meant to actually write - 'If that guy wants to remove his that is up to him as it would be against policy for me to remove it!. I'll apologise to him and he can trout me! Thanks anyway. How many edits do yout hink that I should make? Oh and how many days of use of Twinkle?

--Thepoliticalmaster (talk) 14:48, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, fair expalnation. It's not really a number of edits as such just a bit of tenure and of course accuracy (which you seem to have). Usual guide for me is around 40 - 50 good uses of undo but also at least 5/7 days of editing. Other admins may have other standards of course. Pedro :  Chat  14:49, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but this is a decline at the present time. Give it a week or so and pop back. Cheers. Pedro :  Chat  07:49, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Safety Cap

I've been on vandalism patrol for over a year using Twinkle---it was pointed out to me that Rollback would make the job easier. Anything to help give me an a edge over the griefers would be appreciated. Safety Cap (talk) 18:03, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think using Igloo and/or Huggle to Revert/Rollback vandalism is much Easier & Faster than Twinkle, and will allow me to Revert/Rollback vandalism faster. I was told that Rollback would make the job easier in fight vandalism. Gavin Perch talkcontribs 03:29, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
