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.

I request rollback rights to help fight vandalism, doing this in a quicker way. Thijslandsmeer (talk) 21:29, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done just yet. I'm seeing various instances of you using the undo tool without leaving a summary when the edits haven't been obvious vandalism. Further, in cases like this, you have been engaging in edit wars. Please return in a few months and start using summaries to explain anything that is not obvious vandalism.

User:RFZYNSPY

Hello, I'm RFZYNSPY. I'm requesting rollback rights because I want to use Huggle to its fullest extent. I have been using Huggle as a way to monitor vandalism, but I'm limited to the read-only version of the English wiki without rollback rights. Because of this, I'm also unable to warn users through Huggle or mark edits as good or bad in order to change editor confidence. I am a strong candidate for using rollback because I'm currently enrolled in the WP:CVUA and I'm coming up on my 1,000 edit milestone. I will treat rollback with care, making sure it is only used for the speedy reversion of clear vandalism. Thanks for your consideration. RFZYNSPY talk 05:33, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi RFZYNSPY, please notify me as soon as you've graduated from CVUA, and I'll happily grant it. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:18, 18 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ekdalian

I have been fighting against POV pushing (unsourced / poorly sourced) and vandalism, especially in the sensitive Indian caste related articles for years. I have to handle problematic edits and vandalism almost on a regular basis. I have gone through the details of this right. It would be really helpful for me if the right is granted. Thanks.

Would request admins here to please review my request. Thanks & Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 06:54, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ekdalian: Could you please provide examples of where you would have used rollback? Anarchyte (talk) 06:28, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Anarchyte, I would have probably used it in the following edits 1, 2, as well as 3. Since this is an ongoing process (reverting vandalism/POV edits/unsourced or poorly sourced edits), and I have been keeping an eye on hundreds of pages, it would be really helpful from a long term perspective. Thanks & Regards. Ekdalian (talk) 08:36, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done None of the listed examples are obvious vandalism, which is the only time rollback should be used. Consider returning in a couple of months or enrolling in the WP:CVUA. Consider using WP:TWINKLE in the meantime. Thank you for your enthusiasm. Anarchyte (talk) 09:43, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I don't think you have sufficient countervandalism experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more.

I created six encyclopedic pages on the English Wikipedia. I also actively participate in correcting minor edits on various pages across WP. Gyan.Know (talk) 09:01, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Gyan.Know: What would you use this permission for? Anarchyte (talk) 06:37, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Anarchyte I have been editing on Wikipedia for a while now. I try to protect pages from vandalism and nonsense edits. I am also member of WP:AFC. GyanKnow contributions? 07:17, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I'm not seeing any substantial countervandalism experience. You have only a dozen or two undos and many are you reverting yourself. Please return when you have more experience. Anarchyte (talk) 09:46, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:CentDog

I am currently using Twinkle & RedWarn Tool To Remove Vandalism Edits. In fact few month back someone from my ip range was doing it. If I am given Rollback access then it will certainly help me perform edit faster & efficiently. Thank You Wikibijay1 (talk) 14:30, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CentDog: Please explain these reverts: [1] [2] [3]. Anarchyte (talk) 06:50, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi There, For
  1. For this article Hawkeye, i have reverted because instead of blanking a whole section, we could put our explanation about why it is linked to this topic or not. Secondly it provides to good ref. point for a fictional character.
  2. For This Page : Pine, The user inserted some extra ' character in farming section, so i reverted it.
  3. For this page Mii, I found Super mario maker 2 is a game.

User:WikiLinuz

I find myself using “manual revert” for reverting an article's state to a specific revision often when trying to counter non-constructive additions or vandalism on mainspace articles which isn't protected. I believe having a rollback rights would help me do my task efficiently. —Wiki Linuz ( 💬 ) 12:44, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ctrlwiki

I want the rollback feature rights to prevent vandalism, especially for Philippine-related articles, which there are many articles that are not protected like: Salbakuta, Carmina Villarroel, Ex Battalion, I have encountered many vandalisms on those articles, I currently use manual revert, but when I am reverting big articles, the manual revert is not working. — Ctrlwiki (talk) 04:19, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ctrlwiki: What's wrong with the undo button? You've never used it. Anarchyte (talk) 09:50, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Anarchyte: There is no undo button in my device. — Ctrlwiki (talk) 11:50, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is the method of how I revert articles, it's hard to use. — Ctrlwiki (talk) 11:58, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ctrlwiki: What are you using? If you don't see Undo, you won't see Rollback. Anarchyte (talk) 13:03, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am using smartphone to edit Wikipedia. — Ctrlwiki (talk) 13:55, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ctrlwiki: The app or the mobile site? The app is awful and I recommend avoiding it at all costs for anything but reading. For editing, your best bet would be to use the desktop version of the website (which can be found at the bottom of the page) on your device, assuming your screen is big enough. If you're using the mobile version of the website, both undo and rollback are missing; I just checked. Anarchyte (talk) 16:02, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Anarchyte: Hey! I just turned on the advanced mode on my phone and I can already see the undo button! (I'm not using the app, I am using chrome to edit). — Ctrlwiki (talk) 23:51, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:SaltySaltyTears

I am requesting rollback rights so that I can use Huggle to revert vandalism. I requested rollback rights some months ago, but was denied due to the fact that I had just come back from being banned for using sock puppets to harass two other editors on talk pages. I was told to perhaps try again in September. I feel compelled to point out that although I used socks to harass two editors, never have I vandalized any article, edit warred, or attempted to "game the system" in any way (e.g. by using socks in !votes). I revere the project and am protective of the articles, and doing anything to harm them is unthinkable to me. SaltySaltyTears (talk) 23:02, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
