Rollback

Sorry, temporary accounts 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.

Hi, I'm on Wikipedia since last 6 years. During this period, I have made many constructive edits here. It also includes fighting vandalism and maintenance of the pages. I've also encountered several times where a user repeatedly changes articles for promotional purposes (I edit articles related to India and Science). It would be great help if rollback rights are conferred to me to deal with notorious editors. TrendSPLEND ✉ 05:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Had a look at your contributions, but I'm seeing little to no recent counter-vandalism work. Is there any reason why Twinkle rollback is insufficient for your needs? -FASTILY 01:00, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done stale request. No response for over a week and no demonstrated need for the tool. -FASTILY 02:08, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It will help me reverting things after many edits have been done, not copy/pasting the source. 🦠🌀𝕾𝖚𝖕𝖊𝖗 𝕮𝖞𝖈𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖎𝖈 𝕾𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖒 𝕮𝖔𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖆🌀🦠 14:42, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Automated comment This user has 153 edits in the mainspace. — MusikBot talk 14:50, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 153 edits to the mainspace, I don't think you have sufficient editing 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. — JJMC89 (T·C) 18:02, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
JJMC89, That's because I mainly edit drafts. 🦠🌀𝕾𝖚𝖕𝖊𝖗 𝕮𝖞𝖈𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖎𝖈 𝕾𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖒 𝕮𝖔𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖆🌀🦠 15:28, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nvm. Twinkle's good enough. 🦠🌀𝕾𝖚𝖕𝖊𝖗 𝕮𝖞𝖈𝖑𝖔𝖓𝖎𝖈 𝕾𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖒 𝕮𝖔𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖆🌀🦠 15:34, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have become very active with reverting vandalism and recent change patrolling. I am aware of and have read WP:ROLLBACKUSE, and understand that it is only for blatant vandalism. I have been using a combination of Redwarn and Twinkle, which have both worked very well, and I have been very effective with. I feel I could be more effective if I was able to use rollback on the blatant vandalism, as rollback works faster than native redwarn, and I often run into other editors 'sniping' me to performing the actions. I plan on continuing to use these tools as well as trying Huggle.
Thank you! ~RAM (talk) 11:09, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ram1055, if the only reason was being quicker than someone else to perform the same action, the result would be the same for the encyclopedia, and the request would be pointless. That said,

Hey,

I like to think that I am pretty active in the counter-vandalism community. I have 735 edits and I believe that I could be trusted with this permission.

I am seeking this permission due to my search for a different counter-vandalism tool. I absolutely love twinkle and ive been using it with Lupin for a while, however Lupin's tools have slowly stopped working well for me and i'm seeking to branch out into other tools, and regardless of my resistance to applying for this permission it seems my options are greatly restricted without it.

I believe that my past edits demonstrate my understanding of the relevant policies and guidelines surrounding counter-vandalism.

Thank you for your consideration. ✯✬✩⛥InterestGather (talk) 23:44, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been doing anti-vandalism work for a while now (though I had taken a short break from it until recently). I have attended and passed WP:CVUA with a 91 score and am familiar with all relevant policies, including WP:ROLLBACKUSE. I currently use Twinkle, which is good, but I feel like I can work easier and faster with Huggle. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 09:17, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:RandomCanadian

ArbCom has overturned the block which led to this being removed so I'm making a request to get this user right (along with pending changes review, though I'd hopefully not have to do 2 separate requests) back, if it poses no problem. Thanks, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:26, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
On hold
This needs input from AmandaNP to avoid wheel-warring, perhaps a few words from Primefac and ideally the opinion of L235, who had granted the right before. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:05, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ToBeFree: I want nothing to do with this. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 01:15, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Given the unblock, I see no reason to refuse permissions commensurate to this user's previous level of trust and activity. ToBeFree, you'll have to evaluate whether a renewal of the previous temporary rollback is warranted. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 02:21, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. I'll probably re-grant both permissions pending input from Primefac. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 07:14, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'll defer to Kevin on this one; I mostly just (un)checked the boxes. Primefac (talk) 10:41, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again. It would be hard to justify doing anything else than the following then:
  • Rollback trial successful; rollback granted.
  • Pending changes reviews look fine; the reason for removal has apparently been overruled and/or withdrawn ==> restoring permission.
I have no idea what has happened behind the scenes, and those involved do not seem to want me to let this have any effect on the decision. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:47, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kamilalibhat

Hello, I have been editing the Wikipedia since the past few months. I have done many edits and want to do more and more in the future. I have reverted many acts of vandalism that I have seen. And I don't want vandalism to spread on Wikipedia. Here, I want to request for the rollbackers rights so that it will take only a small amount of time to revert the acts of vandalism on Wikipedia. Kamilalibhat (talk) 11:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Kamilalibhat, the required "measurable track record of counter-vandalism" does not exist yet ([1]); please have a look at WP:CVUA for first steps. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:21, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
