Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback

User:Apollogetticax
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. | Apollo getticax   talk  23:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * 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 over at User talk:Ferret. 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)


 * Gonna go ahead and mark this one as ❌, with the requester now sock-blocked and fresh block evasion noted at User talk:Apollogetticax. DanCherek (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

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)

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)
 * This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days . &mdash;  MusikBot talk 12:00, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * ❌ for the exact same reason I declined the previous request. -Fastily  01:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

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)
 * I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. 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)
 * Firstly, I must say I was not aware of the fact that you have to leave a message for every kind of blatant vandalism that is reverted. I usually do it in cases where the user is registered and appears to have used the account for more than a single edit, where they have also done multiple similar unconstructive edits. Secondly, I did not know what the tools were used for and, usually, when I leave messages regarding things such as vandalism, I do it manually. I will take a look at the tools and perhaps make a future request if I am able to work with them properly. If not, then I suppose I will just stick to my current flow of anti-vandalism work.
