Rollback (add request)


I have been on Wikipedia over 4 years. Even though I've only occasionally edited until about two months ago, I'm incredibly familiar with the policies. I believe that I am very good in distinguishing bad faith vandalism from good faith edits. I have been using STiki quite a lot to revert vandalism. Unfortunately, STiki can only revert the most recent edit as far as I'm aware, is relatively buggy from my experiences, and is just a general inconvenience to use. I would like rollback to make it easier to revert multiple consecutive vandalistic edits, and also to be able to use Huggle in place of STiki. Thanks for your consideration.

While I do not have a great deal of revert edits under my belt, I hope you'll consider giving me permission. You'll note that every last one of my contributions to this website have been honest and that every edit i've made in the last two years or so, has been accurate in serving the intentions of this encyclopedia. I can also assure you that I have read the proper Reverting help pages and have a full awareness of what is and what isn't subject to a reversion. I want permission so I can more easily and freely fix vandalism such as I did on this page: AFC Ajax. I think my history here, whil at times infrequent, shows that, if given permission, no mistakes will be made. Thanks for your consideration. TrafficBenBoy (talk) 11:50, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I want to fight with the vandals, and I need rollback right for this. Will be more simple for me to rv the vandalism than with TW. I am too admin on ro.wn. Thank you. Memo18 (talk) 17:34, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

During my starting days on Wiki my primary focus was on to create new articles and to improve those which are either stub or start class (within the scope of my WikiProjects) and used to watch over them (i've more than 1400 articles on my watchlist) for any possible vandal act, but since few weeks, i've enhanced my work limit to recent changes, now i'm the recent changes patroller, the right of rollback will help me to use more efficient tools (like HG) to improve my capability to fight against vandalism; i'm also the active member of 9 different wikis, which could also define my activeness on Wikipedia.

I have been on wikipedia for just a few months but have made over 1300 edits. I am very familiar with Wikipedia's policies. I have been involved in numerous vandalism and copyright investigations, more copyright that vandalism. Please not that I dont have the best history on Wikipedia, well it's 99.6% good anyway. My first page, Grand Bahamas Power Comany was deleted for copyright reasons however as for vandalism, my slate is as clean as a whistle. I was recently granted reviewer rights. I am also a new pages patroller. I have patrolled too many pages to count. Gabesta449 edits chat 00:20, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've been editing wikipedia for quite a few months and have edited and added umpteen no. of articles. I request you to grant me rollback rights Vensatry (talk) 05:11, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done - insufficient familiarity with policy.
I would like to be granted rollback rights so that I will be better able to help fight vandalism on Wikipedia. I am currently using Twinkle to help fight vandalism, but would like to be able to use huggle instead of twinkle. Thomas888b (Say Hi) 12:32, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Primarily I edit school articles which are frequent targets for vandalism, and I'm requesting this permission to help combat those issues wherever I find them. It should hopefully be clear from my recent editing history that I can tell the difference between a well-intentioned but misguided addition of content and an act of vandalism.

I've been on wiki for years but I really became active only a few months ago. Fighting vandalism is one of my main activity (if not the main) along with doing my best to improve the few projects I am involved in. I think rollback makes anti-vandalism actions easier and it will surely save some of my time. I'm also using Twinkle for about six weeks, so I had time to familiarize myself with the rollback feature. Thank you Maimai009 21:43, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
