What I did on Wikipedia is I would have rollback rights to rollback some edits that are vandalism and would undo revision. I'm shocked with the vandal user who made edits messed up that I'm going to revert them than other rollbackers does. --Allen Talk 05:47, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What I learn is rollback or revert vandalism edits on Wikipedia, so I can have rights for it after I enrolled at the Counter Vandalism Unit! --Allen Talk 07:26, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
AllenHAcNguyen: One of the largest issues with rollback, apart from not knowing what is good and what is bad, is inability to talk to another contributor about something they've messed up by mistake when having a different intention. You need to demonstrate thorough experience of talking to people about their first messy edits where undoing and moving on without talking was a (the worse) possibility. -- This is why rollback, which undoes multiple edits at once, requires bigger experience. It is not just about edit count. Gryllida (talk) 17:23, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Gryllida: That reminds me of getting rollback rights on Wikipedia if I try to revert some edits that completely messed up and actually vandalized. --Allen Talk 17:44, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Pardon my bluntness, but it is going to be nearly impossible for you to have any advanced permissions if you cannot communicate in English. Your remarks read like you are using machine translation or something, they don't make any sense. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:31, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Beeblebrox: My worth English is good, it maybe right or impossible for me to have rollback rights on Wikipedia and however I'm not using translate (that's because the translate from another language to English is maybe nonsense or gibberish). What I did on Wikipedia is try revert some edits that is vandalism and fix the articles on difference above with undo revision. --Allen Talk 02:52, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm willing to take your word that you aren't using machine translation, but your English is so poor you might as well be. Your posts are gibberish, and if you can't recognize that I can't imagine how you could be expected to recognize vandalism from other types of editing. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:20, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's a bit harsh. While I agree with denying this request at the moment I don't think there's any reason to discourage the user from contributing. His English is rather hard to understand, but it's usually easier to read a non-native language than to speak/write it, and given quite a few examples of positive vandalism identification I'd be happy to grant the right. – Juliancolton | Talk 01:39, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Beeblebrox: We can all appreciate good communication and even promote it, your method is just plain rude, which caught me by surprise from such a seasoned editor, not a good day for Wikipedia. Mlpearc (open channel) 17:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we can all see above where Gryllida tried to tell him in a less direct way that his communication skills were lacking, and the response was...nonsense. And then I made my first remark, which was a little more direct, and the response was "My worth English is good". In other words, complete denial of the problem, while confirming it at the same time. Of course we don't expect new editors to know all of our policies and procedures before they start out, but competence in the language actually is kind of a prerequisite, not something you will just pick up as you go along. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:02, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do ya think this could be the beginning of this users "pick up along the way" ? so let's just beat the crap out of them just in case...ignorance. Mlpearc (open channel) 20:21, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Whether it's relevant to this project or not, wikiasite:community:Message wall:Lt. Allen, he's been known to be annoying, disruptive, and incognizant on various other projects. Beeble is not the only person to suspect Allen of using a translator. From what I've been told, he's been translating from Vietnamese to English. Though when I confronted him directly about where he learned to speak English, his response was "Mol, I learned English before I was born!" (@22:02:58). I also hate to be that guy, but, from scrutiny of his past requests on other projects, this is just some weird power grab. moluɐɯ 22:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To help me quickly revert massive vandalism. I typically work in pages were vandals show up every now and then, and have a good sense to distinguish between good faith contributions and plain vandalism.--MarshalN20 Talk 21:54, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been here since July 2013. I contribute to some politically-sensitive topics where disruptive IP edits and vandalism are very common and are often difficult to revert without this right. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 10:50, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Keep in mind that rollback is only to be used for blatant vandalism and spam... any reversions liable to cause controversy should be done manually and with an adequate edit summary. Thanks for helping out. – Juliancolton | Talk 15:45, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Johnsmith2116

After having been a Reviewer for nearly three weeks now, I have seen how much reviewing really needs done, as there is always a list at least 15-20 items long that need taken care of, and that's even with the 6,000 + Reviewers that are here. I edit mostly in sports-related articles (mostly in golf), and I have seen quite a number of athletes' articles getting bombarded with spam/vandalism whenever that athlete makes news. I believe being a Rollbacker would come in handy to deal with these types of situations. (I've had to have protection put on the Rory McIlroy article in recent months.) Occasionally, one of the Wikipedia bots catches such things and takes care of it, but often it needs the assistance of a human to keep up with it all. Please allow me the Rollback right. Thank you. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 19:21, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done though I'm not quite sure what being a reviewer had to do with this. – Juliancolton | Talk 00:47, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sue Rangell

About two years ago (I think) my rollback responsibility was removed by an admin after we crossed swords in ANI. I don't recall any specific rollback as the reason I failed to do an edit summary on a particular rollback, but it was more about conflicting views about what "vandalism" was (both our tempers were heated at that time and that didn't help things). Up until then I had been doing considerable good in anti-vandalism and account creation. Since then I have been working mostly in account creation where I am trusted with personal information. I would like to have rollback re-instated so that I can pick up on anti-vandalism once again. I have no issues with the admin that originally removed it, in fact he invited me to re-apply the very next day. It's been a while but I'm finally re-applying because the vandals are going at it overtime this summer and I know my help is really needed. Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 02:34, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your rollback permission was removed on 20 January, 2013 by User:Ironholds after you used rollback to undo someone else's revert of your AfD close. The problem that he saw was described at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive782#Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Araksi Cetinyan, which was a dispute about your non-admin closure of an AfD. Can you tell us what lessons you would now draw from that particular episode? That looks to have been a very messy AfD, and while others might have agreed with your close, there was a general impression it wasn't appropriate for WP:NAC. Your use of rollback in that case does appear to be contrary to the policy, since undoing an AfD closure is not vandalism. That's a separate issue from the one on whether a NAC was allowable. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 05:01, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am very concerned about Sue Rangell applying for rollback rights at this time. From February to the end of April almost all her edits were in the area of gun control and in articles where User:Lightbreather was editing, changing or removing her edits. She then stopped editing for a period of time. She returned to active editing this month and again has been editing almost exclusively Lightbreather's edits. Rollback would make it easier to undo changes that were made during her two month absence. I am also concerned about her lack of understanding of the requirements of BLP editing as shown by Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive193#Robert Spitzer (political scientist), and by issues raised at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Sue Rangell.

It will help me with anti-vandalism efforts. I have used rollback with Twinkle and gradually I have familiarized myself with Help:Reverting and Rollback. I also want to use Huggle and STiki. Jyoti (talk) 17:57, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
