The counter-vandalism training program is available if you wish to gain experience in handling vandalism.

User:NXcrypto

I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly.

Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Cmrc23

Hello! I've been patrolling Recent Changes for a few months now. Rollback will help my work, especially when I'm out and about and can only access the app. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 15:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I want to note that I am currently recieving CVU training on this page and am willing to apply again later if it is felt that I am not yet ready for this permission. I would also greatly appreciate any guidence (especially on that page). Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 13:47, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
@Zippybonzo: Do you think Cmrc23 is ready for this? * Pppery * it has begun... 16:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
I feel that they can understand the difference between bad faith and good faith edits and also those that are damaging and not damaging, however I'm a little concerned about their choices of how to warn a user in some cases. I'd suggest a trial for a month and I'll work with them on when to use warnings and which warnings to use when (bit of a tongue twister), and the use of semi automated tools for anti-vandalism. Assuming they make good progress on that front I'd be happy endorsing a permanent grant of rollback. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Okay then. Granted temporarily for a month ( Done for bot). * Pppery * it has begun... 18:42, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Randomdude121

Hi! Though I started out doing grammar fixes, over the past 2 weeks, I've been using Twinkle and RedWarn to revert any vandalism seen on Special:RecentChanges. It's understandable if you'd like to impose the hard and fast rule of 1-month experience, but I've made almost 300 edits related to vandalism. I always leave a message for the editor and undo my revert in cases where I question my decision in hindsight and would rather have another pair of eyes look at the edit(s).

Having the rollback permission would make RedWarn reverting faster for me and would also allow me to try out other anti-vandalism tools like Huggle. Could I have the right please? randomdude121 (leave a message!) 09:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Randomdude121, I'll grant this without expiry, but with an expectation of you please, please going slowly with Huggle for the first weeks and asking rather than guessing when something is unclear. My talk page will always be open to questions even if you think they may seem silly. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Plasticwonder

I view that having this user right would help in fighting vandalism a lot faster. I know I would be far more efficient with fighting vandalism if I were to be granted Rollback. I have been editing for over 7 months, and I have well over 5140 edits, with a focus on mitigating abuse on the wiki. I am a frequent contributor to AIV and RPP.

User:Obversa

I am requesting rollback rights to revert an edit by another user that merged Baroque Pinto with Friesian Sporthorse, without prior authorization or agreement, on 15 November 2024 - a higher-up editor or administrator previously denied a merge request due to "no consensus" in January 2024 - or allowing other users to discuss or dispute the page merge, as indicated for the procedure on Misplaced Pages: Merging. I have been trying to recover the Baroque Pinto page that was merged into Friesian Sporthorse without success, and need administrator assistance or intervention in order to revert or roll back the merge. Obversa (talk) 15:54, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done You don't need rollback to revert one specific edit - see Help:Reverting. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:28, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Malhar1234

Hello I'm a very sincere and careful Wikipedian, I mainly works on the fields of "stop vandalism", "find valuable resources for articles" and create ne articles. 

 So, if I'll can access the rollback tool, then I working on YouTube more flowlessly and without any hardness.

                    -Thanking You! Malhar1234 (talk) 09:47, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
 Not done I see no recent anti-vandalism actions in your contributions. And this is Misplaced Pages, not YouTube. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:29, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Gnu779

I request rollback rights because I hate vandals and I want to get rid of them. Gnu779 (talk) 12:42, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

User:Fishy-Finns

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. Thanks for the consideration Fishy-Finns (talk) 18:01, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I probably would let a few days under a month slide if you were actively recent changes patrolling for all of that month minus few days, but all I see is a short stint of RC patrol in early December and another short stint a few days ago, which isn't really enough experience for this. Feel free to reapply with more activity. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
