RfA thankspam

		Thank you for your participation in my recent RfA, which failed with 61/52/7; whether you supported, opposed or remained neutral. Special thanks go out to Wizardman and Malinaccier for nominating me, and I will try to take everyone's comments on board. Thanks again for the trust the community has placed in me. A special Christmas song for you all can be found at the right hand side of this message! Apologies if you don't like RfA thankspam, this message was delivered by a bot which can't tell whether you want it or not. Feel free to remove it. Dendodge Talk, 17:16, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Cool, thankspam including jingle bells :)))) abf /talk to me/ 15:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Your input...

...will probably be greatly appreciated here, given that you apparently supported here. (And if you could translate that support, which appears to have been qualified support, that might be helpful to us as well.) Thanks!  Frank  |  talk  17:12, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I do not know if there should really be such mesages about RfA's, but okay, thank you. :) abf /talk to me/ 17:45, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

"Such messages"? I wasn't soliciting a particular point of view but rather the opinion of someone who's a member of both communities, therefore possibly having more insight on this particular candidate than most users of en-wiki. Thanks for responding!  Frank  |  talk  17:57, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you are right, sorry and thanks again for the message wich was very appropriate. :) abf /talk to me/ 17:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Rollback removed

I just removed the rollback permission from your account due to this edit. This edit was biting newbies and therefore completely inappropriate. —αἰτίας •discussion• 18:26, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I just removed inapropriate content from a page - whats completly okay as far as I know. abf /talk to me/ 18:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Rollback is only used for clear and blatant cases of vandalism and not for good faith edits. If used for good faith edits (or even to bite newcomers) this gives cause for it to be removed. —αἰτίας •discussion• 18:43, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I still don't see why

1. Removing that text by hand makes a difference from using the script
2. We warn vandals 4 (!) times before blocking but remove rollback users of editors with nearly 9.000 rollbacks without a single warning and for yust one squishy case. abf /talk to me/ 20:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

There is broad consent that rollback can be used for blatant vandalism only (cf. Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions, Template:Rfr/granted). In any case it may not be used for good faith edits and to bite newcomers. Additionally rollback may be removed at any time (cf. Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions) if misused — without prior notice (cf. ; “Easy come, easy go”). Finally, reverting changes using WP:UNDO or manually gives you the chance to leave an edit summary. Whenever reverting a good faith edit such a summary should be left.

(after thinking about that I have to say:) Yes, you are right, I could have done that better, I'm going to be more careful in future. Can I have rollback back please? abf /talk to me/ 21:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Okay then. I will re-grant in a moment. However, I have to ask you another time to be far more careful when reverting in the future, please. Please always remember to use rollback for clear cases of vandalism only. —αἰτίας •discussion• 21:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page while I was busy blocking all of the sockpuppets. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:42, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem, unfortunately I can not revert anymore (see above). abf /talk to me/ 20:21, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

You can still revert edits using tools like WP:TWINKLE. Regards, —αἰτίας •discussion• 20:30, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle is to slow to do anythink when there are tons of huggelers around... but you could tell me wether there's a chance of getting the rollback back. abf /talk to me/ 20:47, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

You are free to reapply at Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions/Rollback whenever you want. —αἰτίας •discussion• 21:06, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
