Rollback (add request)


User:RyJones

As a former user of VandalProof, I humbly request rollback so that I may use huggle to undo vandalism. Ry Jones (talk) 06:07, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll probably approve this, although the lack of more recent activity leaves me hesitant, before doing so though, I just wanted to ask you about warning vandals after reverting them. Are you aware of this practice? (Of course, Huggle would automate all of that) - Kingpin13 (talk) 22:24, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I will admit I wasn't aware of the practice of warning vandals.Ry Jones (talk) 02:59, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Will you be more diligent in warning vandals if you are granted rollback? Dabomb87 (talk) 16:21, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've put some more consideration into this, and decided to mark as  Not done. Sorry, but you've just not been active enough recently for me to feel comfortable approving this. You have only five or so edits in the past year, and only around 20 in the past two. Get yourself updated on current practices and policies, and then please feel free to re-request. In the meantime, you might want to try out Twinkle, which is a fairly useful in-browser script, with some similarities to huggle. - Kingpin13 (talk) 01:18, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Thepoliticalmaster

I am making a second request for rollback as I want to use igloo and huggle and I keep getting beaten to the vandalism by those users using Huggle so it would be easier than hanging around on Recent Changes, I will also be very careful with the software and not abuse it as I understand that any edits made are from my account and I could be subject to a block with wrong use. The first time I requested it was said that my identification of vandalism was good and that I knew the difference between a good faith edit and vandalism, although I was using Rollback Vandalism on Twinkle, I didn't know what the Rollback AGF stood for! :-@ Also I have made a real effort to stop calling section blanking vandalism and have put the appropriate warnings on the page not just the standard vandalism one. Thanks a lot. :-) --Thepoliticalmaster (talk) 16:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC) Thepoliticalmaster (talk) 16:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll take good care with it. :)

User:Garvitkamboj

an article i created is frequently attacked by unauthorised users. it will be helpful to have a rollback feature Garvitkamboj (talk) 14:29, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done It appears you would like rollback to patrol edits on an article you are closely involved in. Please note that rollback is for vandalism only. Also, I think it's prudent to mention that you do not own an article and anyone can edit it.--v/r - TP 17:47, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jonchapple

I patrol a number of frequently vandalised pages and would like RB to assist. Thanks in advance. JonChappleTalk 17:40, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sgt. R.K. Blue

I am requesting access to the rollback tool today because a fairly good amount of my work on Wikipedia concerns upkeep on articles I am interested in, with such maintenance including ensuring proper citing of sources, removing original research or speculation, fixing grammar and punctuation issues, and fighting instances of vandalism or unconstructive contributions. As rollback is chiefly an anti-vandalism tool, I understand the differences between pure vandalism and good faith edits that just don't belong. In fact, I would expect that I would be considered conservative in my use of rollback if granted access, as I am someone who likes to provide detailed edit summaries and would want to fully explain a revert if I thought there was any chance of it being considered improper or confusing. However, a few situations where I would have felt comfortable simply hitting the "rollback" button if I had it would include [1], [2], [3], and [4]. In terms of my background, I have been part of Wikipedia since September 2009 and this request is my 3,377th edit. I was accepted as a reviewer last year and granted the autopatrolled right in March. I thank you for your time and consideration. Sgt. R.K. Blue (talk) 07:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Remember, Rollback is only to be used when reverting blatant vandalism. -FASTILY (TALK) 08:00, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Boulevardier

I don't do a huge amount of RC patrolling (though I do every now and then), but do often come across blatant vandalism to revert. I'd appreciate the extra convenience in those specific cases. bou·le·var·dier (talk) 13:25, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Enjoy, but please remember that rollback is only meant for blatant vandalism. Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:37, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:W4chris

I'd like to use Huggle and it requires rollback. I limit my use of reverting to cases of obvious vandalism and always add the appropriate user warning template on that users page. Thanks, Chris W4chris (talk) 16:28, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Therexbanner

I've been dealing with reverting vandalism for a long time. A few months ago I started using Twinkle, and templating accordingly, but having Rollback would speed up my efforts significantly. Also, I would like to use Huggle which requires Rollback rights. Thanks,--Therexbanner (talk) 18:59, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done -FASTILY (TALK) 20:40, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Qantasplanes

I've started using Twinkle and I think it's is super useful. Qantasplanes (Talk with me) 04:08, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) User has only 34 edits with Twinkle. And if you think it's super useful then why do you want Rollback? --The Σ talkcontribs 04:42, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
...Perhaps because it is much quicker? —GFOLEY FOUR— 05:21, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But still, the user said only that they started using TW and thought it was useful. Not really a reason, more of an opinion. --The Σ talkcontribs 05:53, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Be sure to use rollback only when reverting vandalism. -FASTILY (TALK) 06:26, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dcirovic

I would be grateful to you, if you could grant me rollbacker rights. They could assist me in combating vandalism. Dcirovic (talk) 18:25, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) I looked through your first 1K edits or so and unless I missed something, not 1 single reverted edit, why do you need rollback ? If you want to start fighting vandalism I suggest using Twinkle and after you get 50 or more sound reverts then re-apply. No Admin is going to grant your request without any reverted edits to judge by. Good luck. Mlpearc powwow 18:54, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done} - to Mlpearc - "Need" is a rubbish argument when it comes to user-rights. The tools don't rust if you don't use them. User has 2k edits and tenure. Pedro :  Chat  21:10, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You know I thought I could learn something by helping at WP:PERM, the only thing I can think of that I've learned is , every Admin has their own set of criteria which brings me to the conclusion that I'm wasting my time here. Enjoy your prerequisites or the lack of. Fastily I do appreciate you talking me into giving it a second try, and I'd love to stay but not like this. Mlpearc powwow 01:12, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment) Oh come on, you can't leave me in a page full of admins! They'll steamroller my {{nao}}s without someone to back me up!!! --The Σ talkcontribs 01:20, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Christianrocker90

I believe it would help me greatly in fighting vandalism on this wiki, I have it on Simple English Wikipedia, so I know how to use it responsibly. chris†ianrocker90 19:48, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No. Too many concerns per your block log at this time - far too soon to be asking for extra bits. Pedro :  Chat  21:12, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not marking as not done as another admin may wish to review, however. Pedro :  Chat  21:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done You got relief from a community ban yesterday! It's far, far too soon to be asking for extra flags. Courcelles 21:18, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If I may ask, what's the harm? I'm not asking for adminship, I'm asking for a tool which I have on another Wikipedia to fight vandalism better. Just curious. chris†ianrocker90 21:26, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator comment)Rollback used to be for admins only, I think, in ye olde days. And you might edit war. --The Σ talkcontribs 21:36, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've never edit warred with tool, and haven't edit wared in quite some time, not to mention anyone can have a dumb moment and edit war with it, including admins. I'm not gonna sit here and argue this, I have articles to tend to. chris†ianrocker90 23:26, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
