User talk:Lothar von Richthofen/Rollback appeal

I am a long-established contributor here with well over 9,500 total contribs and a former rollbacker. A little over a month ago, on a particularly slow and boring night, I made the ill-advised and uncharacteristically impulsive decision to inject myself into a heated dispute/edit war at WP:AN/I by thrice reverting a WP:POINTy refactoring of a contentious header. The first two were normal "undos". I then made the mistake of whipping out the rollback for revert 3, thinking at the time that A) I had already sufficiently explained myself in the first two reverts, B) the material I was reverting was unambiguously disruptive and so was rollback-able, and C) others had also reverted the refactoring, so clearly I was in the right. However, two admins that stepped in to contain the mess did not think so. After being given a 3RR caution and an "I would have blocked you, but..." warning, I was summarily stripped of rollback privileges. Realising that they were indeed right and that I had been acting in the wrong, I decided not to press the matter further and went for some time without the feature. However, I now find that I miss it rather much. Much of my work is menial tidies and sporadic vandal-fighting, mostly on watchlisted pages but also random ones I visit. Rollback helped me to revert good-faith contributions to articles that created style issues as well as with the obvious vandalism-removal. Moreover, the rollback button helped me to keep tabs on pages on my recent contributions, allowing me to see which ones had been edited after me, keeping me in the loop on discussions and and on top of subsequent edits (and vandalism) to pages. With the exception of the aforementioned incident, virtually all of my contributions using the feature fell within policy. I believe that I can be trusted with the feature once again in spite of that lapse of judgement.
