Rollback

- The reason I am requesting rollback rights is for a different reason than the last time I requested. I would like to begin using Huggle to revert vandalism. I was recently granted the pending changes reviewer flag which proves I can be trusted with additional rights. I have been patrolling new pages and recent changes for a long time now and I'm ready to use Huggle. — Music1201 talk 00:08, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Automated comment This user has had 2 requests for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([1][2]). — MusikBot talk 00:12, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- Pardon me, but what does pending changes reviewer rights have to do with rollback rights? They're two separate things. To obtain rollback rights (according to the requirements), "...a request is unlikely to be successful without a contribution history that demonstrates an ability to distinguish well-intentioned edits with minor issues from unconstructive vandalism." For pending changes reviewer rights, it says "The reviewer flag is granted to users who are experienced enough with Wikipedia editing and its policies for contributing to the process of reviewing articles placed under pending changes." Merely saying you have pending changes reviewer rights doesn't mean you get rollback rights. Leggomygreggo8 (talk) 17:50, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- You obviously didn't read my request @Leggomygreggo8: I specifically said "which proves I can be trusted with additional rights." — Music1201 talk 18:24, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- I read your request. Just because you have pending review rights doesn't mean you can be trusted. Anyone can get PRR. Just have the required edit count and say you read the policies and you have it. It doesn't mean anything, and it surely won't help you get rollback. Leggomygreggo8 (talk) 18:27, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- For clarity, Music1201, PCR and Rollback are separate and therefore different user rights, but since your last two requests, you've gained a sufficient amount of mainspace edits, PCR edits, and Twinkle experience. I can't accept or decline your request as a non-admin, although I will endorse your request, if that is a thing. --Ches (talk) (contribs) 18:54, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

- Useful for quick reversions, especially on mobile. I feel I can use the right correctly without incident, and I have a reasonable amount of anti-vandalism experience. I've been around since September 2015 and have >500 edits. Thanks for considering. - HarryKernow (talk to me) 04:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

- Hello, I'm a moderately experienced editor, been around for about 10 years, doing essentially gnome work, with occasional bursts of activity. Lately I have been involved in maintenance of some very exposed pages about the US nomination process, on both Republican and Democratic side. As an example of proactive steps, I have successfully requested semi-protection for some of the templates involved (Template:2016USDem, Template:Republican Party presidential primaries, 2016), worked with other good-faith editors towards consensus on acceptable sources and enforced consistency of sourcing after such consensus was obtained. The rollback privilege would save me some time when addressing the most egregious partisan editing and policy violations. Thanks in advance for your consideration. — JFG talk 00:41, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
