I'm requesting rollback rights to speed up my fight against vandalism. I have about 1,000 edits involving reverting vandalism. I'm also interested in tools such as AntiVandal. TheM1sty (talk) 17:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

I have taken up patrolling recent changes and clear vandalism prevension / sourceless BLP-edits in en-wiki too. I have enough experience of the tool through fi-wiki, where I am a rollbacker, pending changes reviewer and ”page stabilzer” (I think the group closest to it here was called editor?). I know I have under 200 edits too now, but my interest at the time here is vandalism prevention which is hard and takes multiple edits (causes spam in recent changes) without rollback-tool. I would ask for sysops to look at my well trusted global status and experience. Thank you! Osmo Lundell (talk) 20:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

@Osmo Lundell: Twinkle's red "vandalism" button should revert consecutive edits by the same user in the same way that rollback does. It appears when you view the diff (noting that you have Twinkle enabled). Have you tried doing that? – JensonSL (SilverLocust) 04:56, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey! Thanks for metting me know, I thought that using that button would need the rollback user group. Good to know if it works just like that for everyone! I would still leave my request pending, because rollback is still useful from the recent changes view etc. --Osmo Lundell hey 07:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I am requesting rollback rights to help combat vandalism and disruptive edits more effectively. I have been patrolling recent changes for the past 30 days, focusing on identifying and reverting vandalism, test edits, and other unconstructive changes. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies, including WP:VANDALISM, WP:BLP, and WP:NPOV.

I really wanted to improve Wikipedia by my small contribution. I understand the importance of using rollback responsibly. This permission would allow me to respond more efficiently to inappropriate edits.

I want to also say that I made some silly mistakes in the starting of my patrolling. However, I learnt from them and make sure that they won't happen again. Such as reverting edits that are already reverted, that mistakes you can see on my past contributions.

Thank you for considering my request. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. ⚡ VortexPhantom • Talk 07:35, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi,

Please any administrator review my request. I have already waited a lot, and now I likely to lose my patience too. Please get it done ASAP. It will encourage me to do more quality edits to Wikipedia and help it in improving. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 01:24, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting rollback rights to improve my patrolling workflow

Currently, I use Ultraviolet with pseudo-rollback. I want to try new software like AV and/or HUGGLE, to see what fits me best. I have been RCP patrolling for more than a month and currently I am in the CVUA, which is improving my knowledge and helps me educate others. With rollback, I will be able to counter vandalism, BLP, edit test and other unconstructive edits with splendor speed, without affecting my accuracy. twisted.

Hello Twistedmath, thanks for patrolling recent changes! Under the condition that you don't let this stop you from finishing your CVUA course in case there's still something left to be done there (at the bottom of the page perhaps?) or in case ToadetteEdit has concerns or further questions, I'll add the rollback permission already. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:05, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting rollback rights to efficiently combat vandalism, particularly from anonymous IP editors who have been repeatedly disrupting multiple pages. Their edits often include unconstructive changes, misinformation, and page blanking, requiring frequent reversion. Having rollback rights would allow me to quickly and accurately revert these edits, ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia content. Vineyard93 (talk) 02:26, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Hello, Vineyard93. I don't see anything when you're undoing your edits. You have been warned on the user talk page at least with a level 3 warning and blanking the user talk page. What is used for rollback? Best regards, –HirowoWiki (📝) 23:50, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

I would like to request rollback rights to assist in combating vandalism and maintaining Wikipedia's content quality.

I understand Wikipedia's rollback policy and will use the tool responsibly, applying it only for clear cases of vandalism and constructive edits. Vineyard93 (talk) 22:23, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Do you have any tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet to help fight vandalism? –HirowoWiki (📝) 22:28, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

UPDATED. I'm using a mobile browser, not desktop mode, which is why I can't see the undo option on mobile—only on desktop mode. So, I'm manually reverting all vandalism edits. Vineyard93 (talk) 02:15, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello Vineyard93, you have never used the "undo" link yet and currently seem to lack the required experience with patrolling recent changes. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 01:00, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
