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 use Twinkle for anti-vandalism, but sometimes I come across vandals that make several destructive edits in a row. That's when it'd be useful for me to have rollback. Also, rollback is necessary for a bunch of anti-vandalism tools... King of Scorpions 22:39, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done I'll note that you don't have quite as much experience as I normally like to see before granting advanced permissions, but you've demonstrated good anti-vandalism technique and judgement, so I don't think it'll do much good to demand another 100 edits just for the sake of it. – Juliancolton | Talk 23:14, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Juliancolton: I'm learning from an experienced anti-vandal. That's why I usually do a fairly good job at it... King of Scorpions 17:55, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:My Lord

I believe, I have a good record of anti vandal edits. Secondly, I also need it for Huggle. ML 911 19:54, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
{{notdone}} – Respectfully, you've edited very little since your most recent block for edit warring, and yet you've still managed to get involved in a conflict/slow-burning edit war at Jai Shri Ram. I'm not comfortable granting the right at this time. – Juliancolton | Talk 16:23, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Juliancolton: This[1] was the reason why I was not able to edit during that time period. Even as of now Internet has not been fully restored[2], despite the Internet restrictions, I have been editing continuously and as far as Jai Shri Ram article is concerned, the user who posted the message is kinda fond of using these tempelates. ML 911 18:06, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My Lord, I sympathize with your restricted internet access, but unfortunately the downtime is merely incidental. I'm not concerned with warning templates: regardless of who posted on your talk page and why, the truth remains that you made several reverts on that page in a short time, which is consistent with the reasons for some of your past blocks. – Juliancolton | Talk 18:18, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Juliancolton: I  won't be participating here further, and IMO slow mo edit warring is a poor reason for rejecting request for rollback. There are enough evidences of me never using TW rollback in edit wars. ML 911 18:53, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@My Lord: I think edit warring is a very good reason for denying a request for the rollback right. The notice at the top of this page says so, in fact. Nonetheless, as is customary when my decision is challenged here, I've retracted my rejection and will defer to any other admin. – Juliancolton | Talk 19:00, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done If a user cannot appreciate and acknowledge the simple concept that "slow mo edit warring" quite simply is edit warring, then they quite simply don't understand and appreciate the concept of edit warring enough to be trusted with a reversion powertool. ~Swarm~ {sting} 06:11, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Andrew nyr

I am mainly requesting rollback rights to better work on articles about healthcare and hospitals. I am a part of Wikiproject Hospitals and have found cases of vandalism in the past some on articles that I have created. The need to individually revert edits is a process and is quite annoying. Andrew nyr (talk) 15:19, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Andrew nyr: I'm unable to locate any examples of vandal-fighting measures in your contributions. Could you please provide a few examples of cases where you believe rollback would have been beneficial to your work? – Juliancolton | Talk 16:28, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My best example would probably be an edit on one of my own articles, Hackensack Meridian Health. A user had just copied and pasted directly from the company LinkedIn page. I did an IP lookup of the user (not registered) and found that the IP address of the user was an IP from Hackensack University Medical Center, which makes me believe that it was a member of the company trying to make the main description the same as their LinkedIn, this is a clear copyvio. I also just recently reverted a few edits on UNC Medical Center because the user deleted sections of the page that are standard on hospital related Wikipedia pages and while probably made in good faith, it was a pain having to manually revert multiple edits.

 Not done – Rollback is absolutely not to be used in a content dispute. No exceptions. – Juliancolton | Talk 16:58, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Starforce13

Lately, the pages I monitor seem to be increasingly getting a lot of vandalism, serial disruptive edits and persistent blatant false information. For example, just over the last 24 hours I've had to revert a lot of such edits before the offending users were blocked. I use Twinkle in some cases but I would like to have the Rollback permissions in order to take advantage of other tools like Huggle. — Starforce13 17:07, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done – Juliancolton | Talk 18:14, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:The9Man

Actively working with AFD and NPP. I would like to add my contributions to fight against vandalism as well. The9Man | (talk) 19:14, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now. Your contributions thus far seem good, but unfortunately you have almost no record of anti-vandalism work to judge. Rollback is granted after a user demonstrates proficiency and accuracy in reverting vandalism. I'd be willing to reconsider this request (feel free to contact me directly) after you've spent a week or two using tools like Twinkle or the manual undo button to combat editing abuse. – Juliancolton | Talk 19:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Juliancolton Thank you. Will do as per you suggested. The9Man | (talk) 06:03, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Serafart

Requesting so that I may be better and more quickly able to revert vandalism, as it is sometimes a little hard to revert vandalism using standard tools. Serafart (talk) (contributions) 03:43, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Serafart: Could you clarify what led you to characterize these edits as disruptive? Thanks, – Juliancolton | Talk 05:29, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Juliancolton: I think it was just a misuse of the term disruptive by me and an error on my part. I do not believe said edits were disruptive, but I think my original thinking was that their previous very similar edits had already been rolled back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Serafart (talk • contribs)
@Serafart:  Done – Okay. I had noticed a couple other reverts that struck me as slightly hasty, but I think you generally have a good understanding of what vandalism is. This applies to everyone, but please exercise caution and be sure to use a manual edit summary for low-quality-but-not-abusive edits. Thanks and feel free to contact me if you have any questions, – Juliancolton | Talk 06:15, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jake12195

Although I have created articles and edit otherwise, my primary interest on Wikipedia is combating vandalism. I know I don't have as many edits as others requesting the right, but I have over 200 mainspace edits, which seems to be what the instructions recommend. I'm also aware that I have one false positive, which I promptly corrected, but feel confident in my track record overall and feel that one false positive in 250+ edits reverting vandalism does not demur my ability to accurately do so. Jake (talk) 07:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done for now. The vast majority of your edits are from the last 3 days, with very little activity before then. The prerequisite qualifications are vague (largely by design), but to me a "measurable track record" has a time component alongside quantity of reverts. A spot-check reveals a high accuracy rate so far, so this is a little bit of a tough call for me, but I'd feel much more comfortable granting the right in a week or two. Please free to contact me directly when the time comes. Regards, – Juliancolton | Talk 16:14, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, please i'm requesting for rollback permission due to my commitment in Wikipedia and also i do normally convert citation in a needed place and also correcting some mistake from IP users, I also creates good articles. THANKS (Say something (talk) 14:47, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done – You asked an admin (Fastily) yesterday for the rollback right, and they declined. Attempting to circumvent their decision by posting here, without disclosing your previous request, is very dishonest and demonstrates poor judgement. – Juliancolton | Talk 16:24, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Berrely

A few days ago, I randomly asked for the rollback right and Juliancolton refused, and he rightfully did so. I had done anti-vandalism work, but not inconsistent patterns and not frequently. Since then, I have read Wikipedia's policy for anti-vandalism and have started reviewing edits. You can now look at my contributions log and see that I have made edits to combat anti-vandalism. I would like rollback privileges so that I can use Huggle to help combat anti-vandalism better. If you refuse because of my previous request, or any other concerns, please tell me.

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([3]). — MusikBot talk 17:40, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Done – Technically, I just asked a question; you withdraw the request yourself. ;) A spotcheck of your RC patrolling reveals no issues. – Juliancolton | Talk 17:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
