:::I have no issues with edit warring other then to deal with edit warriors. I recently stated using Twinkle, and without access to this tool it is hard to tell the difference. It almost sounds like this tool works like Twinkle and there is no real difference?<br/>As far as offense, I am tempted to take offense at being denied the tool only because when I came here I noticed DocumentError was quickly granted the tool. That's not why I came here - just happened his request was on the page. If I am not qualified to do rollbacks then I strongly object to him being given this tool because of his frequent and against me and general incompetince as an editor who can't see past his nationalist views and refuses to accurately read and reflect sources. While I generally ignore his crap I feel strongly he should not even be allowed to edit here at all, and certainly not with any extra rights. ] (]) 20:41, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
::::I can't speak for DocumentError, I did not respond to that request. If another admin wants to reverse my decision to decline yours, that is fine, but I stand by it. Personal attacks and rollback don't necessarily have a relevant correlation. When you have had issues with ''edit warring'' as soon as a month ago, that is a red flag by any standards. Correct, system rollback offers nothing more than Twinkle does. However the rollback user right allows you access to semi-automated tools such as Huggle and STiki. Misuse of Twinkle features could result in the same consequences as rollback misuse, but I'm not suggesting that will be the case with you. In fact, having a record showing what you've rollbacked with Twinkle using the three options ("vandal", normal rollback, and "good faith") is a good way to exemplify your judgement on when system rollback would be appropriate. &mdash; '''] <sup>]</sup>''' 21:53, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:::::Ok cool. I've launched multiple edit warring complaints, and sanctions have resulted on the other users, but never been found to be edit warring. The complaints are just another way of dealing with disruptive users since I don't have admin tools. I don't believe my use of 3RR reports should be held against me. If Twinkle does the same job, I'll keep using it for now. It's pretty slick - used it to do a big long term vandalism rollback yesterday actually that would have taken forever the hard way. ] (]) 22:09, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

This "take no prisoners," "scorched earth" style of interaction - in which you try to intimidate and kneecap editors not to "cross" you - is your hallmark. Many, many editors are sick of your unwillingness to behave with just a modicum of decency toward others here. For the ninth (yes, I'm counting) time - do not make false accusations (or any accusations) about me, or any editor, '''without pinging'''.

Hi, I would like rollback so I can more efficiently fight obvious vandalism and I will use it responsibly and will always assume good faith. I have over 200 edits, but a few days under a month of reverting experience on recent changes, but please let that slide because it includes around 50 good quality reverts with pretty consistent and accurate warnings on talk pages. I only revert very obvious vandalism currently, and that's what I will do if granted with rollback, so I doubt I would suddenly decide to abuse my power if granted.
