I wish to be granted the rights of rollbacker.I think I have made at least 200 edits and made a good number of articles. Lemonmelonsuperstar (talk) 18:37, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lemonmelonsuperstar, I happily granted you reviewer the other day but I don't see any experience of reverting vandalism in your contributions. What do you want rollback for? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:15, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In my view, people who do content work, and don't aggressively dive into the vandalism fighting activity, are less likely to abuse the rollback tool; they may more likely have interest in the subject and discuss it with a contributor who borked things up, intentionally or not. Rollback is just convenient means to clean up multiple edits that had gone wrong. I would support this request. --Gryllida (talk) 08:19, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have 458 edits and I have been reverting plenty vandalism to pages such as Disney Junior (international) and Disney Channel (Australia and New Zealand). TDFan2006 (talk) 12:17, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Having looked through several hundred of your edits, you don't seem to have much experience of reverting vandalism. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:05, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fine then, guess I have to go to a corner and cry. TDFan2006 (talk) 14:29, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

HJ Mitchell, I don't understand the rationale. It would seem all TDFan2006 needs to know is what edits constitute bad edits and what edits constitute something worth reverting; how to talk to other contributors; how to not edit war. He/she appears to be quite capable of all three with no conflicts or misunderstandings that I could notice. (Besides, not being obsessed with vandalism fighting is a plus; those who do end up slapping templates onto newcomers' pages instead of friendly intercourse.) --Gryllida (talk) 15:14, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to be granted rollback permissions. I've made 800 + edits so far; most are directed towards reverting vandalism after assuming good faith where applicable. Using Huggle with rollback would enable me to work against vandalism more effectively. Thank you. Rhinestone K (talk) 19:36, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure but sometimes I do feel not having it. Thought I would make a request here to invite administrators review my contribution history If I do qualify or not. Regards AnupMehra ^✈ 11:33, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for requesting rollback I have seen a couple of vandals around Wikipedia and been annoyed when I can't rollback them. And by the time I do it manually, someone else does it! I want to have some vandal bashing fun too! TitusFox 16:06, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. I looked through all of your edits and I didn't see any reverts of vandalism, so you don't have enough experience for rollback. However, I'm happy enough to give you reviewer rights. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:13, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, So just Revert more Vandalism. This Is just a case of WP:Snow at the moment! Regards, TitusFox 16:50, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You got it absolutely correct, TitusFox! Try using WP:STiki and WP:TWINKLE for vandalism-reversion. If you do good job, you'll get it one day. Good luck. Ethically^Yours! 16:55, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the pages I know, I thought that if I had rollback tool, it would had been better. I think I can apply for this tool now. OccultZone (Talk) 20:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been on Wikipedia for over seven years. While editing List of wealthiest people in Uganda, one of the pages that I created and is on my watchlist, I have wished I had this feature. Now that I know that it is available, I request to be allowed to use Rollback. I am confident that I will use it responsibly. Thank you.

I would support this request. --Gryllida (talk) 15:15, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been a user of Wikipedia for almost a year, spending most of my time reverting vandalism by patrolling the recent changes log, using lupin's Anti Vandal Tool and using Twinkle. I have made a few mistakes before but I have since apologised and learnt from them. I believe that with Rollback rights, I will be able to revert vandalism more efficiently and frequently. If I am not approved for rollback, I would appreciate any advice given to me to increase my eligibility. Thanks in advance for your consideration. ◄Sandshark23► talk♦contribs 05:37, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) User has a good understanding of what is vandalism and what is not. I randomly searched through his reverts and found every revert genuine and correct. I believe it is safe to hand over rollback to such an editor. Ethically^Yours! 08:37, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
