Rollback

User:EnIRtpf09b

Hello, I am an active reverter of vandalism and I want to be a rollbacker so that I can fight vandalism in Wikipedia with more ease and efficiency. I have read the WP:Rollback policy and take full responsibility if I abuse my rollbacker right. EnIRtpf09b (talk)

I have made over 3,300 edits since I became active editor. I have several pages under my watch list and patrolled RecentChanges for possible disruption and vandalism. I have dealt with numerous vandalism on several pages and warned editors. Therefore, I would like to request Rollback rights to be able to deal with vandalism more effectively.

 Not done I sampled your recent reverts and found numerous instances where you are reverting good faith edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4). To be clear, none of these edits contsitute vandalism. If you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor; I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or RedWarn which make this very easy. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. -FASTILY 22:48, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fastily This edit 1 was reverted because previous editor removed the citation and the remaining 2, 3, 4 were reverted due to unsourced or unexplained addition in the article by editors. Yes, all these four cases, editors weren't causing vandalism but there are several other articles where I have reverted vandalism by IPs and even submitted warning messages. Examples [2],[3] [4],[5],[6]. Even all reverts with descriptions of MOS:HON are mostly vandalism as its repeated again and again despite warning. Maybe I should have given description as vandalism when same edits were done 2nd or more times. Can you please review again? Please advise. MehmoodS (talk) 05:11, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That has almost nothing to do with my decline. If you revert good faith edits, then you need to offer an explanation to the user whose edits you reverted (please start doing this, thanks). Failing to do so amounts to biting the newcomers. You're welcome to reapply, but please wait at least a month before doing so. Thanks, FASTILY 05:46, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have now spent a few more weeks patrolling Recent changes following Fastily's advice and I now feel that I have enough experience in anti vandalism work to use the rollback function properly. If you check my contributions, you will see all the articles I have been patrolling. Whilst I have been using Twinkle's Rollback–like function very intuitively when removing vandalism, I think that the official Wikipedia rollback function will be even more helpful, especially when I am using the mobile site. This is the 3rd request I have sent now, but I am very keen and I just want to help keep Wikipedia free of as much disruption as possible. On a couple of occasions, I did revert edits which turned out to be correct after all, and I also accidentally reverted several edits when I only meant to remove one and I take full responsibility. It was completely my fault and I apologised to the users in question. I look forward to hearing from you regarding my request. Kind Regards, Blanchey 💬 • 📝 14:11, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Also, as we discussed, please take more care to ensure that you are actually removing vandalism when reverting. Thanks, FASTILY 22:58, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
