Rollback

(add requestview requests)


Following a previous request I am now doing more regular anti-vandalism and rollback work, manually by editing an old version of the article, for example [1] with guidance to the IP on talk - here. Other recent examples,
Reason for requesting rollback rights

1) I have contributed to Wikipedia since November 2001 and have personally authored 12 articles.

2) I have 70 pages on my watchlist and revert vandalism where I see that it has not yet been reverted.

3) In a number of cases, the vandal has made multiple edits and rather than having to undo all to return to an unvandalised copy of the article, it would be much more convenient to have rollback rights, so that I can revert in one fell swoop.

4) This request is prompted by the latest incident of vandalism on Charles Babbage, where the vandal made three successive attacks. Lacking time to manually revert all three, I had to leave it to another editor to revert. Having rollback rights would have made it easy for me to revert in the time available to me.
