Rollback granted
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg.png)
Hi Streetdeck. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~Swarm~ {sting} 06:30, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
Confused over your message
i'm not entirely sure how changing the date of GWRs franchise can be seen as "disruptive". if I accidentally deleted something important then I sincerely apologise, I didn't mean to.

- @MJ9674: Oh sorry. I thought that is a references. ----Wright Streetdeck 15:42, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
i'm not sure what you mean. but I did insert a reference, though it might not have worked.

AIV report
Hi Streetdeck. Thanks for the good work. I've actioned this AIV report for spam, but I wanted to leave a couple pointers: (a) there was no vandalism after the final warning (final warning was left 05:58, 19 May 2020 (UTC), after which there were no edits), and (b) leaving multiple warnings in succession without intervening edits is generally discouraged since it's confusing – if a higher-level warning is warranted go straight to the higher level. (In this case you left a level 3 and level 4 warning without the user having edited in between.) Keep up the hard work and all the best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 06:05, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. ----Wright Streetdeck 06:06, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- @L235: I reverted vandalism by using SWViewer, and that tools can't manage the warn level, sorry about that. ----Wright Streetdeck 06:09, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- I haven't used the tool, but please keep in mind that you are responsible for all edits made on your account – if the tool warns by default, try overriding the option. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 06:12, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

About your GA nomination of Cyclone Hamish
Streetdeck, I initially noticed this nomination because you edited the WP:GAN page directly, which you shouldn't do: the page is rewritten by a bot every 20 minutes or so, and nominations are added and modified at that time, based on the "GA nominee" template on article talk pages. (You didn't get the format and info quite right.)
However, when I looked at the article, I noticed that the lead was unusually short (MOS:LEAD is one of the GA criteria), and then that you had never edited the article in question. As best I can tell, this is your first GA nomination, so you may not be aware of this part of the GA nomination instructions: Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination.
Among other things, the major contributors will know of any issues with the article or places where it falls short of the criteria (which may be why they didn't nominate it before), and it's also courteous to let them know.
Since you did not follow the instructions, I have reverted your nomination. If you still wish to nominate the article, please do the appropriate consultation on the article's talk page first (you should allow at least seven days for responses). However, you will need to be an active participant in the review should you nominate again: You are expected to respond to the reviewer's suggestions to improve the article to GA quality in a timely manner (if you absolutely cannot, make sure another editor can).
So please be sure that you can do this—responses are generally expected within seven days.
Thank you for your interest in GAN, and best of luck going forward. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:12, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for your notice. --Wright Streetdeck 14:19, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
