Reason for requesting rollback rights Hi! I would like to have rollback rights, because I keep seeing persistant Vandalism in articles, I usually warn editors and or IP users about that and I use Twinkle for that too. And I usually revert vandalism but It usually doesn't work properly because of my computer problems. Thanks! Starixxgamerrix (talk) 05:13, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Not done See the notice at the top of this page. You've barely made any contributions to the mainspace, let alone done any anti-vandalism work. -Fastily 02:13, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, Thanks and I completely understand, as soon as I get more edits in the main space, I will try again. Neko Lexi (talk) 23:47, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly want them so that I can use a lot of the anti-vandalism tools, many of which are unusable/much more annoying without rollback. Also a few instances where in actual rollback would be helpful. I have done a lot of anti-vandalism work. I had 5 reverts at the very beginning that were problematic (my thinking is explained at my talk page), but I think I've gotten more aware of the policies and there has only been one other issue with my reverts since, which was caused mostly by the fact that I didn't realize there was an ongoing edit war, just saw an edit summary of "." removing content, and reverted.

I have read Wikipedia:Rollback and understood it. I know what is intentional disruptive editing/vandalism, and a good faith mistake. For example, a typo is usually an honset mistake, and blanking a page is usually intentional, particularly if done repeatedly.

Done a lot of anti vandalism work. I have like 140 edit to the user talk space, vast majority of which are warning for bad edits. Searching "revert" brings up 120 results in my contributions, the vast majority of which are me reverting vandalism.

Thank you and have a nice day! Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'Successful applicants will usually have: at least a month of experience patrolling Special:RecentChanges."
Your account was created on 28/03/2024 - less than one month ago, which already means you have not met that point well. Furthermore - I see several editors & administrators have had to remind you several times about your mistakes. While I am not implying you are a vandal or a problematic user of any sort - are you sure additional privileges are something you feel as if you're ready to undertake this early?

  Not done given the many, many complaints/warnings on OP's talk page. Me Da Wikipedian, at this point you're closer to being blocked than securing elevated permissions. -Fastily 00:58, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, wow! What should I do to improve/when would it be appropriate for me to come back @Fastily Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 10:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(non-admin comment) Do some decent editing, patrol RC for a month+ and do well to the point where admins are not on your back. That's my advice. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:50, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Do some decent editing" could you please define. Could this means for counter vandalism work or non counter vandalism work@TheTechie Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 00:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Like get experience. Sorry if that wasn't clear. If you want any more info, ask me on my talk page; I don't want to clog up this thread. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:TheTechie

I am TheTechie. I was suggested by User:Synorem to become a rollbacker as I, at least in their words, am encouraged to apply for rollback. I meet the requirements as follows:

  1. As of this writing, I have 448 undeleted mainspace edits. 448 > 200
  2. I have been patrolling recent changes for a month+.
  3. I have not edit warred recently (frankly, I don't remember edit warring at all since I got this account)
  4. I consistently notify editors when I revert their edits which appear to be vandalism, and where there would be an obvious need to do so.

Requesting permission because of these reasons. Thanks --- thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 01:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious why you felt it was appropriate to add yourself to add yourself as a CVUA trainer when you clearly lack the necessary experience (and then respond very defensively when Cassiopeia correctly called you out for it). There's also a lot of recent warnings/complaints on your talk page concerning basic understanding of our policies/guidelines. I'd prefer that requesters have a good understanding of these things before assigning them advanced permissions. Perhaps you'd like to comment on that? -Fastily 23:28, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't think there was an edit count associated with it.
About the threads on my talk page on your permalink:
  1. WP:MAINPAGE was for April Fools.
  2. Ok, I agree that my CSD nominations are a hit or miss. I thought the Mama Lion wasn't very notable due to 3-4 sources. I will note that PROD/AFD is the way to go next time.
  3. About the CSD for the Gen Beta page, I reached an understanding by talking (politely) with other edits on whether G4 would apply. I told them that a comment was made during the AFD saying we could use G4 to create recreations, and after another admin told me to keep the page, I didn't re-tag it.
  4. About my signature: When pigsonthewing inquired about my signature, I was simply waiting for a third opinion. I agreed to change my signature after I had heard from a third opinion. And when Yamla asked me to remove the background from my signature, I complied.
  5. About CVUA: I didn't mean to sound defensive. I just was trying to understand. And in this diff I complied after the user explained to me. I did not re-add my name.
  6. About the signature of Nate: I read that you cannot have a name that is not similar to your username, which is why I brought it up elsewhere. I'm sorry if I sounded rude, but I've had a long day today and can't bother having any more problems. Maybe I'll take a wikibreak if need be.
I hope that clears it up User:Fastily. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 02:03, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but I get the impression that you're still very green around here and still have a lot to learn. Totally fine though, we all were at some point, however I think you'd benefit from more experience before applying for advanced permissions. Keep up the good work, and consider reapplying in a month. As such, closing as   Not done. -Fastily 20:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, thank you. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 20:16, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Vestrian24Bio

Reason for requesting rollback rights: Hi! I am Vestrian24Bio; I have been editing on Wikipedia for almost 2 years now, I have made 2000+ edits and I have already reverted 200+ vandalisms, mostly using Twinkle. See my contributions here. Now, having the Rollback permission would be more helpful in patrolling vandalisms and it would grant me access to using the AntiVandal thus, making it easier to fight vandalisms.

  Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 20:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Myrealnamm

Reason for requesting rollback rights. I have at least 200 mainspace edits, frequently warn users, and no edit warnings. However, I do not yet have a month of experience patrolling Recent Changes. I would like to request rollback rights because it would be easier for me to revert vandalism through View History. I have a habit of going back to View History after comparing edits, and having the Rollback user right would make it easier for me to revert edits on View History pages.

  Automated comment This user has 190 edits in the mainspace. — MusikBot talk 16:08, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well that doesn't look like "at least 200" to me. Synorem (talk) 17:27, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 17:27, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, ok. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 18:10, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I thought I did... Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 18:10, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Not done I noticed you started actively reverting vandalism 4 days ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend more time gaining experience fighting vandalism before assigning you advanced permissions. Keep up the good work, and consider reapplying in a month. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits (I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which makes this extremely easy). Thanks, Fastily 20:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your reply. I will continue to revert vandalism for some time and warn users.   Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 21:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:MuffinHunter0

I've been patrolling Recent Changes for around a month or so, reverting any vandalism I come across, while also warning/notifying other users about their edits and why it was reverted. Having rollback would allow me to use AntiVandal, which is quite faster in reverting vandalism than RedWarn(the script I am using currently), while also allow quickly rollback edits without having to add a reason. That helps me deal with the edit and move onto other vandalism on the RC list. Some more info that you may want is that I have no warnings, no instances of edit-warring, joined 3/12/2024, which was around 36 days ago, and a near, if not perfect, track record in notifying users.
