Rollback

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
Shortcuts
Please review Wikipedia:Rollback before making a request. Applicants with fewer than 200 mainspace edits are unlikely to be granted this right. More importantly, applicants must have a measurable track record of counter-vandalism and no recent history of edit warring. The counter-vandalism training program is available if you wish to gain experience in handling vandalism.

User:WeTalkWiki

Because I have enough knowledge about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines which are very important for Rollback. I can remove vandalism efficiently which helps to make Wikipedia high standard. I will be much obliged if you give me a chance to make Wikipedia better. Have a nice day! Thank you! WeTalkWiki 08:44, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Your edit count is artificially inflated. I'd guess you'd only have ~100 edits had you not made 5 minor edits to countless articles. Anarchyte (talk • work) 08:11, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Shadow4dark

Hello i request the Rollback to fight more effective against vandalism specific sock vandals. I made 900+ edits. Shadow4dark (talk) 21:18, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Shadow4dark: Can you please provide examples of where this permission would have been useful? Could you also please explain how you've found yourself caught up in two content disputes over the course of two months? Anarchyte (talk • work) 15:39, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

About he cotnet disputes. In number 1 dipsute, someone did mayor changes in lede without explanation on talk page or edit summaries. After outsiders joined in talk page it was solved for me. And we dit no edit war for this dispute. The other one we have big dispute about the sources, If you see my history this is long running dispute with several admins involved. it is to hard for resolve this dispute because we can't agree the NPOV of the source and now this dispute is on WP:NPOVN.

Here a sock vandal deleted sourced content because the source was deprecated. But he could replace the source because we have many alternative sources. [[1]]

Here another sock removes large content [[2]] and here [[3]] He comes back [[4]] but i reported him on SP [[5]] someone else had rollback rights and reverted his edits. All these pages is on my watchlist. And from recent edits. [[6]] [[7]] Shadow4dark (talk) 18:53, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Done for 1 month. I'd like to see how you'd use this tool before granting it permanently. Anarchyte (talk • work) 06:54, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Naleksuh

Hi, I'd like to use rollback as more efficient method of dealing with obvious vandalism and LTAs (of which I have experience of dealing with cross-wiki spam). I am award of acceptable uses (in other cases where undo is much more appropriate), and have already used the tool on two other projects. Naleksuh (talk) 07:35, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dtt1

Hello I want to Request rollback rights to help fight vandalism as I am facing many new users who make promotional pages and have a disrupt editing behaviour. It would make my work more easy. Thanks Dtt1Talk 11:01, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 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. Rollback won't help you with promotional pages, and I do not see any significant experience reverting vandalism. Use Twinkle and Undo properly for a while to show that you understand what should and should not be reverted. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:53, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Awsomaw

Hi, would like to have rollback permissions. I've been here for a while, almost at 700 edits. I mainly write articles, as you can tell from my history. I've done a little bit of this stuff here and there, but I would like to do more of it now. I think I'm ready for this. Let me know if I can demonstrate anything more, or if you want me to continue doing this stuff for a while before requesting again. Thanks. Awsomaw (talk) 00:44, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:ShadowCyclone

I’ve been editing for 2 years now and I’ve become pretty accustomed to the policies and guidelines here. I believe the rollback permissions will help me fight vandalism more efficiently and effectively without any hiccups.

User:Sharief123

Hi, would like to have rollback permissions. I've been here for a while, almost more than 500 edits. I mainly write articles, as you can tell from my history. I've done a little bit of this stuff here and there, but I would like to do more of it now. I think I'm ready for this and I’ve been editing for 2 years now and I’ve become pretty accustomed to the policies and guidelines here. I believe the rollback permissions will help me fight vandalism more efficiently. So, please give me permission to use rollback.

User:C1K98V

Hello! I would like to apply for rollback rights in order to help fight vandalism. I have recently enrolled for WP:CVUA training under the guidance of Cassiopeia (my training record can be found at User:Cassiopeia/CVUA/C1K98V). I will WP:AGF, and won't WP:Bite would be cautious using this right if granted. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 14:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I see several recent uses of Twinkle's "vandalism" revert which weren't unambiguous vandalism, which makes me concerned about the use of this permission. Since you are in CVUA, please re-apply when Cass feels that you are ready for the permission. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:36, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Telfordbuck

I would like access to rollback rights please. I have a proven track record of fighting vandalism on wikipedia as well as correcting other edits in good faith. Telfordbuck (talk) 15:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Giraffer

Hello, I am requesting access to rollback rights to allow me to combat vandalism more effectively. I patrol the edit filter often and have made well over 100 reversions & talk page messages as well as over 400 mainspace edits. (I have also never engaged in an edit war or been blocked or banned). Also, I currently use Twinkle. Thanks! Regards, Giraffer (munch) 11:47, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done as a probationary grant for two weeks. Your account is on the low end for experience – you've only been reverting vandalism for a couple weeks – but your efforts are promising and I'm grateful for your work. Before your rollback renewal I think it'd be great if you started WP:CVUA if you can find the time. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 06:12, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:The creeper2007

Hello everyone! I would like to have rollback rights so that I could use Huggle for faster vandalism patrolling. Right now, I am using recent changes with Twinkle/RedWarn. The issue with RC+TW takes a lot time during reverts and would like to speed things up. Thank you! The creeper2007Talk! Be well, stay safe 18:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC).

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([8]). — MusikBot talk 18:54, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
About the automated comment, the previous request that have been declined is back then when I had 90 edits, now I have 1500+ edits.The creeper2007Talk! Be well, stay safe 16:57, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - probationary grant of one month. I also echo L235's comment on your previous application - consider applying for WP:CVUA. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:51, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On further consideration and after seeing a recent incident where they reverted inappropriately,  Not done (and revoked). Recommend CVUA before re-applying. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:06, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GeneralNotability: I'm already enrolled in CVUA and that issue was the only time where I had a accident out of 1500 edits. Could you please reconsider?The creeper2007Talk! Be well, stay safe 18:09, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please see my CVUA course page here, i'm finished on the final exam.The creeper2007Talk! Be well, stay safe 18:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I remain unhappy about the rollback and that incident, but I have invited another admin to take a look at this case. GeneralNotability (talk) 19:49, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm not the admin GeneralNotability contacted, I also have some issues with granting the role at this time. Going through their reverts using the undo tool from this month revealed a few edits that I'd like to be clarified. @The creeper2007: Why did you re-add this content? At the time of removal, it had been sitting in that article without sources since 2015, and with a tag since 2016. Unsourced content should be removed if it's not able to be sourced, and re-adding the content puts the onus of referencing on you. This is a matter of BRD and interpretation of "controversy". I do agree with the IP that one site saying an article is bad hardly carries water in the grand scheme of things. People get criticised all the time. Reverting with the summary of "Rv section blanking with invalid reason" is an invalid reason. On this article, it looks like you were overeager to revert the change. This is the most minor incident of the three, but it does demonstrate that you may not fully read what you're changing before you make said change, which is a big problem. If it were up to me, I'd decline this request and ask that The creeper2007 return in 3-6 months with more experience than just reverting changes that show up in red on the recent changes page. Anarchyte (talk • work) 15:30, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I too have reviewed this and concur with Anarchyte and with GeneralNotability. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 16:04, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Anarchyte: If you look through the List of incidents of cannibalism, you would notice that then I deleted the rest of that message. The creeper2007Talk! Be well, stay safe 16:43, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@The creeper2007: I did see this, but the fact that your first edit was not to manually remove the content is the problematic aspect. It implies, at least slightly, that removing "so please feel free to help us expand it by eating some children" was an afterthought. Again, you've done some good work over the last few months, but we'd like to see some more experience before any of us feel comfortable granting the permission permanently.

User:Blablubbs

Hi, filing this somewhat early to avoid permission gaps if possible. I currently have Rollback rights which were granted temporarily because I hadn't been active for long enough (previous request here). They are about to expire in a few days and I wanted to request an extension so I can continue using Huggle to fight vandalism. Thanks for your consideration! Best, Blablubbs (talk) 09:50, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Automated comment This user was granted temporary rollback rights by AmandaNP (expires 00:00, 20 July 2020 (UTC)). — MusikBot talk 09:50, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done - Your rollback permission no longer has an expiry date. Anarchyte (talk • work) 15:11, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Glennznl

I have over 1100 edits and 173 pages on my watchlist. I put a lot of effort into Wikipedia and have created multiple pages. I would like to have the rollback feature to better protect pages against anonymous IP addresses making dozens of edits overnight. Glennznl (talk) 23:15, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Insufficient counter-vandalism experience. Most of your undos are reverting unsourced additions of content, which rollback is not for. Anarchyte (talk • work) 15:07, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
