Help talk:Rollback

Please request rollback rights here. This page is watched to ensure the quickest response possible. Remember that, to have rollback rights, the user must have at least 1,000 total edits on the account they are requesting rollback rights for, or be an administrator on another wiki. Archived Requests: 1 | 2

Request 4: Kougermasters
This is my fourth request for Rollback Rights since I arrived at Halopedia. Unlike the first three requests, I have actually used the undo button, and in the last few days I have undid vandalism and many pointless edits. Some examples are Terminals, Sandbox, Kig-yar, Flood, and undoing/reporting major vandalism and fanon on the now deleted pages, Jackle plasma rifle, Onotix, and Hell spartan. Since they are deleted, I can't find the vandal fighting in my contributions, but many other users, including Whispering, and RelentlessRecusant can say I was there and I helped. Also, unlike my previous requests, I come with new found maturity and a new sense and meaning of responsibility. — Lt.   Commander   Kouger  00:16, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Request: Odysseas-spartan-53
This is the first time I request Rollback Rights. I may use the undo buttor rarely but still deserve them as I have done more than a thousand edits (by the time I place this request I have 1,265 mainspace edits) and I am very active on the site (maybe not the last days, but from now I will be able to contribute daily). In my early days, I didn't know about the usage of the undo button and I was just reporting vandal IP's or users to administratrs (usually, to Specops306). Even when I learned how to use the undo button, I was just reporting the vandals. I have totally reported about 10 vandal or spam IP's and users. Finally, I have to say that if you give me rollback rights, I will use them carefully and with responsibility. This is all I have to say. --Odysseas-Spartan 53  11:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Request: Spirit of Fire
This is my first request for Rollback Rights. I have undone many useless or damaging edits (the best examples are on articles like The Ark (Level), Rampancy, Shadow of Intent and Silent Cartographer (Building)), and reported some spammers and vandals to the Admins (EwCDnaudee419 and Specops306 can give confirm). I am also quite active on Halopedia and by the time I make this request I have amassed more than 1000 edits, tried to repair several articles (examples: Armory (Room) and Gravemind (Level)), and created a few new (Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide and Troop Deployment Pod (Pelican)). If Rollback Rights will be granted to me, I won't abuse them, but will use them in the best way to protect the articles' shape with moderation and responsability. 11:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Request granted. Congratulations! -- Councillor   Specops 306  -  Qur'a  'Morhek  20:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much! -- 20:54, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Request 2: Nicmavr
I'm here to request rollback again. I admit the mistake I made with it, but now I'm ready. I have more than 1000 edits, as my editcount shows. I have been doing some improvements to articles and some anti-vandalism, like this and this. I have more as well, though they are kinda far back in my history. Examples:

http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:HaloDude&diff=prev&oldid=632844

http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Team_India&diff=prev&oldid=724888

Also, I helped greatly in taking down a severe vandal and have reported countless vandals to the admins in the past. And, unlike last time, I am ready to take the role of a rollbacker and vandal-fighter with great responsibility and more maturely.

 * I've seen the user in action and have worked with him/her extensively. Thus, support!- 5 ub7 ank (7alk ) 20:28, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Refresh my memory on this "mistake"?  High  DEFIN ITION  21:15, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, that. Well, I misused them on an edit, which I considered incorrect, so I reverted. Because of that, Manticore removed them, without warning. But as I said before, I'm now ready to take the role of a rollbacker with great responsibility. Also, while I made a little mistake, I've reverted countless vandal edits which is something of a great job, in my opinion. And I can assure you that the mistake I made won't happen again, ever.   Ascy undefined 'Vamal   Honor Guard   contribs  21:22, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

While I don't know much about this incident or your rollback history, I don't like the lack of warning regarding removal.  High  DEFIN ITION  21:32, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, see here. Manticore removed my rollback because of this revertion I did, which I didn't even know was wrong. Manticore then removed them, without giving me any warning of the misuse, so I first had no idea of why this happened. Ascy undefined 'Vamal   Honor Guard   contribs  21:39, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE: I helped restore the tobacco article. It was a little confusing with the revertion, as me and another user were reverting at the same time, but nonetheless, I helped with it. Ascy undefined 'Vamal  Honor Guard   contribs  17:25, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE 2: Numerous vandals were hitting the Halo 3 skulls article. I reverted the mess they made, twice. See my revertions here and here. Ascy undefined 'Vamal  Honor Guard   contribs  13:26, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Please stop with the Updates. You do it in the Covenant of Halopedia when requesting a promotion and now you are doing it here. It is annoying and will not help your chances. --Councilor Εw C 'Dnaudee  Battle Net My Editcount Administration 04:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I do not do it in the CoH. And here, I was just keeping you informed on what I'm doing, not to increase chances. If you want me to stop, that's fine. Now I'm waiting for your answer... Ascy undefined 'Vamal   Ultra Elite   contribs  08:20, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It was me that posted updates in my Covenant of Halopedia promotion request, not Nicmavr. — Kouger masters  03:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Nicmavr more than deserves RR. He has undone countless acts of vandalism, many of which he reported to me immediately after.Commander DA, Administrator 05:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Request: Sub-71
Hello, this is my first request regarding rollback and I want to make this worth it.

Ever since I joined halopedia I have taken pride in making quality edits as well as assisting people with making edits to their userwiki's, and other pages. After a long period of time since I had orignaly joined I had learned about the undo button and how it works and ever since then I have been reverting mind-numbing vandal edits right down to inportant information deletion edits, with this I stand at 1,433 mainspace edits as listed here My editcount.

Here is a couple of examples of my work here on halopedia;

Request: The 888th Avatar
Hi, I'm aware that this request will probably almost certainly fail, but I'll request anyway because I can and will try it out. As a rollback user and then an admin on another wiki, I have extensive experience and ability editing wikis and fighting vandalism. I currently frequently watch the Halopedia anti-vandalism channel and the general Wikia-wide anti-vandalism channel, and I've been seen in many places fighting vandalism both here and elsewhere. It would be easier if I received rollback here to fulfil those self-imposed anti-vandal tasks. Thanks, The 888th Avatar  (Talk) 12:54, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Request: Smoke.
Good evening, Halopedians. I was advised to check out Rollback rights due to numerous instances of combating vandalism. I'm on throughout the day (whenever I'm not at work, which could be anytime, as my schedule isn't exactly regular at the moment), and I have experience with wikis in general (I'm still learning some of the mark-ups, but I know the basic functions; kind of got used to them after just over 1,000 edits). Anyway, I suppose you'd like to see some proof, so here it is:

http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Type-1_Energy_Weapon/Sword&diff=prev&oldid=761780 http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Avery_Junior_Johnson&diff=prev&oldid=761753 http://halo.wikia.com/index.php?title=Halo:_Ghosts_of_Onyx&diff=prev&oldid=761434

Those were all just today. There's much more. Also, the other user that caught the vandal of the Tobacco article before Nicmavr could was me. I caught it a split-second before he did.

Here's a few more:

Request: JEA13
Well, here I am with my first time requesting rollback rights. I became a Major today (15/3/09), and I am nearing the 1000 edits (I have about 950). Many of them had been undo at vandalism edits. I don't have any specific undos to refer to, so I will just give a link to my contribs. As about the sysop rights in other Wikias, I am the head admin and only member of the Greek X Factor wiki. Though its currently inactive, I have done some serious edits and have used the rollback button for quick undos.

I was in the trio that helped in the takedown of Drummer1258. I also helped in the "destruction" of an IP and his Fanon articles which he was linking all around the wikia. Many thought that his fictional avatar page was Thel Vadam's father! Unfortunately, his extreme stupidity got me blocked because I shouted at him... thanks Manticore! :P Ask him, he might have a link to the IP's contribs.-

Request: SPARTAN-984
I'm kinda nervous about this, but I am an administrator on another wiki, [WiCapedia]: in fact, I co-founded that wiki with ONIrecon111. However, a factor which may dent my chances at getting rollback is the fact I only have 225 edits and only 49 are mainspace edits, and that alone could singlehandedly derail my chances. I also expect this request to fail, but if it does, I'll just wait until my mainspace editcount is higher when Halo 3: ODST and Halo Chronicles stuff comes along. S-984 20:14, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

This is the first time I have requested rollback rights. To those that have seen me work, I am constantly undoing unnecessary, poorly written, and vandal edits. I do not have 1000 edits, but I am a Bureaucrat on the Warhammer 40k fanon wiki. The reason that I am requesting it now is that there have been 2 or 3 times in memory in which I attempted to stop someone from making vandal edits, but due to having to undo each edit individually, I only made things worse.

Request : Galacticdominator
I am requesting rollback rights because I believe I can better the site by using them. I mostly do small edits like adding Catigories but I revert and report Vandalisim whenever I find it(even if I can't spell it). I don't consider speculation vandilisim unless repeated dispite warnings so I won't be submitting any contestable edits as vandalisim. I have one mark against me on this site. I was banned for censoring a page I thought was inappropriate. Though it was by User:Manticore who many would consider ban-happy (see Help talk:Rollback Rights) and was shortend significantly by User:Devout Atheist because he realised it was well intentioned. I've learned my leason and decided to read the rules before doing anything stupid in the future, or maybe just not doing anything stupid at all. I hope you consider me worthy of this small increase in responsibility. I won't abuse it.— GalacticDominator 21:13, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

- I have looked through this User's edits, and though he lacks anti-vandalism activity for the most part, so did I when I requested Rollback Rights. The important thing is that his edits are positive contributions, and he works hard to work on neglected articles, even encouraging other Users by bringing such pages to their attention (including myself). I have no doubt in my mind that granting him RR will only benefit his work on this site. After all, it did for me. Colonel DA,  Halopedian Administrator  03:38, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Also, as far as I know a ban doesn't automatically rule you out as ineligible for rollback rights unless it's a serious one - even administratorship can work around it, given the circumstances of the ban. --  Administrator  Specops306  -  Qur'a 'Morhek   Honour Light Your Way!  10:09, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

My rollback rights aren't working anymore and I couldn't get ahold of anybody. Could someone repair them?


 * Your rollback rights were removed for reverting several good edits by Halopediaman. Prove you can use them responsibly and apply for it again. Rollback rights are to be used for reverting things that are untrue, vandalism, or generally worthless edits, and the edits you reverted didn't fall into any of those categories.  Smoke Sound off! 20:54, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

I thought that the Halopediaman edits were generally worthless. They were removing the rating at the top of disambig pages. I thought that he was simply point wing because the ratings on disambig pages help to determine if the pages are really needed. I was confronted by Subtank and I Immediately apologised but unfortunently I had to get off before I could revert my faulty edits. additionaly I had good reason to believe that the edits were point wing because Halopediaman had been resently banned for point wing. also my edits were not point wing because all rollback edits are minor edits. GalacticDominator 20:10, October 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * Before you determine whether the user is point-whoring (the correct term is abusing the point system), check their contribution and summaries of those contribution. There should be a reason why they do it. If they don't supply one, then it clearly that they are abusing the point system. Confront them and tell them that their contributions will be reverted if not supplied with a proper reason. That's how you confront suspicious users. It doesn't matter if they have a criminal record; everyone is unique and change overtime.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 22:00, October 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * No one accused you of abusing the point system, and we're well aware of the nature of rollback edits. Also, he hasn't been banned for anything recently - the last block on him was over a year ago and that was for something totally different, so that isn't a valid reason. If you don't find anything in the contributions (such as a pattern in their less recent edits) or in the edit summaries, check the messages they've received for any clues. If you notice that there isn't anything suggesting that they might be doing something useful, confront them and have an administrator review their edits. You can always put in another request, anyway. Just wait a while and do more to fight vandalism (and make sure you're more careful). Smoke Sound off! 02:46, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, well. I was looking through the ban log to find Halopediaman which I was sure I had seen him banned in the last week but I couldn't find him. I must have seen Haloizdabesstgameevea and somehow accidently got to Halopediamans Contribution page so yeah that was a misunderstanding. I did think that his contributions were counter productive and I didn't know that Ratings weren't allowed on disambiguation pages. I guess there's nothing left but to re aply in a week or two. Thanks for walking through the process with me. Galactic 22:12, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
