Rollback

Can you please give me rollback rights, I wanted the right. Because I love to contribute to the Wikipedia, but it's my experience that several anonymous IP's and new editors vandalise pages and make unconstructive edits,as they make several edits, it is quite difficult to revert those edits using regular reverting methods, I can distinguish between good-faith edits and vandalism

As I have spend more than an year with over 1000 edits, I regularly help new comers ,and make them familiar with guidelines ,and markup language, including helping them to create their talk pages and userpages and make them familiar with it's uses as they are not familiar with it. I primarily use mobile interface but switch on desktop mode, as it is more comfortable to edit wikipedia,while using desktop mode I faced no issues while reviewing pending pages ,and patrolling new pages,as I had been assign to these rights earlier, I will also face no problem while using roll back rights. You can check my pending changes reviewing and new page patrolling history, I have done my work honestly Anoptimistix (talk) 07:59, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mz7: want to review? — xaosflux Talk 17:05, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping, Xaosflux. Instead of me, I would appreciate a fresh pair of eyes on this one. Regards, Mz7 (talk) 17:42, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Would be helpful when dealing with vandalism which I do come across from time to time. Amisom (talk) 06:18, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to request rollback rights in order to fight vandalism more effectively such as using Huggle since it is getting more difficult to control vandalism with only Twinkle. Thanks. Brojam (talk) 12:54, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm already a rollbacker on the Dutch Wikipedia, where I have quite a bit of experience fighting vandalism. Lately, I've become a lot more active on the English version. Rollback permissions would be useful; I'm aware of when they are to be used, and when they aren't. Thanks! mountainhead / ? 14:33, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I mainly focus on editing entertainment articles, mostly film and TV articles, and do this quite extensively. We get a lot of vandalism from people who like the movie/TV show, or who don't like it, and it is something I deal with at least once every day. Rollbacker permissions would be a handy tool for this. adamstom97 (talk) 21:53, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am fighting vandalism from quite some time now, by checking out the watchlist and the recent changes page. This facility might help me out in the process, and I hope that I can help the community even more. Adityavagarwal (talk) 23:38, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have been editing Wikipedia, and occasionally I will come across multiple edits that should be rolled back. Wile I don't think that I will use rollback often, there is usually a time at least once every three weeks when I have come across a situation that merits the use of rollback.

I have been reverting vandalism using Twinkle, and would like to try out Huggle. I understand that rollback is only to be used for vandalism and is not a valid tool for content disputes. Thank you! –FlyingAce✈hello 17:23, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
