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. 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]

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.

I regularly monitor the "recent change" feed now for about 2 months now, I actively warn users when I revert their edits thanks to twinkle and ultraviolet and actively report the clear vandals and spam accounts. I want to access the rollback rights to make reverting easier as I have slow internet. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I actively warn users who vandalize/disrupt the pages using Twinkle as well as report them to ARV either after final warning or when an account is clearly for vandalism only, but sometimes I assume good faith just leave a note on their talk page.

Ah yes you are correct, my apologies I'm not sure how I missed that.  Done -Fastily 00:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I would like to request rollback rights to quickly enhance the process of reviewing RecentChanges. For over a month, I have been patrolling RecentChanges and using Ultraviolet and Twinkle to revert and warn users. Thank you. — doclys (❀) 14:26, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very active in counter vandalism (very likely have over 1000 reverts at this point), have rollback on simple, do X wiki counter-vandalism as well. Think rollback would be helpful. Read and understood WP:Rollback and meet the guidelines above. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 17:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Given that your block for disruptive editing & edit warring expired just a month ago. I'd like to see you establish a track record of constructive contributions for at least several months before assigning you advanced permissions. -Fastily 00:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
