Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback

This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. This notice is automatically updated by MusikBot (talk) and will hide when there are fewer than 3 requests and they are all under 7 days old.

• I used to be highly active before 2022, and had rollback rights back then (was inactive for quite a while)
• I have a history of defending WP: Hinduism related articles, and further need to do it, especially after few recurring cases of vandalism by a series of sockpuppets
• It may seem that i am constantly reverting a particular user's edits but that user is a sockpuppet of Kairakairav, [see their huge list of sockpuppets] who removes well sourced info, blanks them and add original research stuff, most of which are also factually incorrect. The sockpuppets get blocked, but somehow returns with a new account (Not only me, but other users have also reported this issue in the user's earlier sockpuppet investigations). It is alo worthless to tell them to stop on talk page, as they never reply and keep doing the same stuff; recent example of Madri which was blanked by them!
• Its quite irritating for me to constantly go to history and copy paste entire full page, so the rollback right will be quite helpful, Thanks .245CMR.•^👥📜 09:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC) .245CMR.•^👥📜 09:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 10:16, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fastily: Really!? I just explained how the sockpuppet User:NairaMahiHDPaakhiAadhya basically removed cited information from articles like Kunti, Madri, Sahadeva, Eklavya, etc. It's been reported by other users, see that user's earlier sockpuppets (linked in the request). Also its pointless to try to guide them as i seriously tried to do so many time on their earlier (now blocked) accounts. Recently while doing manual copy paste, I accidentally deleted chunks of articles by mistake. I really require this right as I am free to waste my entire half an hour doing this. Sorry if I sounded rude, but I am really irritated after recently doing the manual copy paste for 100th time! .245CMR.•^👥📜 18:48, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, really. You shouldn't be copy/pasting anyways. The use case you've described doesn't require rollback; we have tools such as Twinkle & Ultraviolet that already do what you're asking for. Like I said, if you're still interested in rollback, then please spend a month actively patrolling RecentChanges before creating a new request -Fastily 21:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a third party, I just want to comment on why you were copy pasting? Apollogetticax|^talk 06:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I would like to have the rollback permission to revert vandalism quicker and to use tools like Huggle. Also, with Awesome Aasim's RC patrol tool, reverting is very slow, but with rollback it will be much faster. I use Twinkle already.

I am keen in the field of anti-vandalism. While my track record isn't exactly the best, I acknowledge my mistakes, and improve on them. I can tell what is and what isn't vandalism, and I know to always warn users, no exception. While edit counts don't matter, I have over 250 mainspace edits (just for the record). This also brings light to my experience. I have been doing counter-vandalism since the day I created my account.

If you think I am doing anything wrong, you are free to tell me my mistakes, and I can fix myself. | Apollogetticax^talk 23:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of anti-vandalism in contribs including edit summaries, so that's great. Good attitude on talk pages. I was going to grant this but then I found they admitted to being the sockpuppet User:HTML5, CSS3! over at User talk:Ferret#Thank you. Honestly I am still inclined to grant, they seem to be reformed. But this probably needs a little discussion first. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gonna go ahead and mark this one as  Not done, with the requester now sock-blocked and fresh block evasion noted at User talk:Apollogetticax#July 2024. DanCherek (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I would like to request rollback rights as I've been pretty active in countering vandalism since May. I use Twinkle and I notify new users consistently when I revert, usually by using a warn template, but other times by writing a message myself. I do my best to distinguish between good faith edits and vandalism and avoid unnecessary edit wars. Having made around 20 successful AIV reports, I am interested in making patrolling quicker with Huggle. Thank you! ObserveOwl (chit-chat • my doings) 22:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, at this point I think I’m ready to fight vandalism and make good rollback edits, I really need this tools to be giving me to me, I’m an experienced editor and I think some editors are really not doing justice in terms of there edits, I want to use the tools to revert some edits that shouldn't be Madeforall1 (talk) 11:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([1]). — MusikBot ^talk 12:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Madeforall1, you just had a declined request for this permission a few days ago. You were asked to do some work and don't make another request for at least a month but you waited about 5 days. Did you not understand what you were being told? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for the exact same reason I declined the previous request. -Fastily 01:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I am applying for the role of rollbacker, having been a Wikipedia user for over 10 years and being increasingly active in the last few years. In this vein, I feel that I have undone my fair share of vandalism and, being mainly focused on football/sports articles, vandalism and unconstructive/unsourced edits are very common in my area of interest and editing. I believe that these rights will be very useful in maximising the efficiency of my work on Wikipedia and will save me time from undoing separate edits individually. Additionally, I have past experience as an administrator on a Wikia project, where I made use of the rollback feature and have good knowledge of its positives and when to utilise it. Thank you for taking your time to review my request. Kind regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 12:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. ). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 01:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
