Firstly, 150 edits is not enough--I'll ask ED to change the policy to something moar reasonable. Secondly, the plus sign next to edit is there for a reason.

Request: Sgt.johnson
I hit the 1,000 mark about a week ago. In vandal fighting, I have experienced problems reverting the edits before the final edit made by that user/IP. Usually, vandals make 2 edits to pages making it hard for me or other users to fully revert thier edits. And so, that is why I am requesting rollback rights. I have been fighting vandals for a while because I just hate it when people think they can mess up what others have been working so hard on. <font color="Red">The Sarge  <font color="Gold">Comm <font color="Red">CSV 02:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Firstly, the history of a page can be used to revert edits by multiple editors. I could revert this page to it's first revision rather easily, without the use of rollback or sysop tools.


 * Secondly, I'm a little concerned with your use of ordinary undo, including this reversion in violation of policy. This page blanking after a content dispute also worries me.


 * After taking that into consideration, and your editcount, I think this request should be denied for now. Come back when you have some more mainspace edits, and have demonstrated you know how to appropriately use normal editing tools. -- Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 13:40, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Even though it has been a very few number of days since my first application, I feel that I am ready for the privilege of rollback. I have properly learned how to use editing tools since then and I have long since settled my issues that were referenced in the previous application.

You should only use undo for reverting one revision that recent, otherwise use the history.

 * Usergroup ranks are irrelevant, and it has been less than a week since you last applied.

 * I don't think there's anything extraordinary about the majority of our Rollback-ers, and I don't think there's anything particularly stellar about AJ. His administratorship at ACW was because ACW was inactive and he petioned to staff for administratorship, and UNSCOH rank is not particularly weighty in determination of this. While at our current poor standard for Rollback-ers, AJ is somewhat qualified, I think that the standard needs to be raised; there's nothing wrong on AJ's behalf, just the par at which we grade users.

Just look at his contributions in comparison to the other people who have gotten rollback.

Alright, here's my issue
 * I honestly don't understand Manticore's reasoning. Yes, AJ has made mistakes, but from what has been stated and knowing the histories of various members that have been granted rollback and looking at the previous reasons used to justify not giving a user rollback, I don't understand the objection.  No one has ever before been rejected because of policy violations (certainly not policy violations in their first two weeks as a Halopedian) - all rejections to date have been based SOLELY upon a lack of mainspace edits.  I have my suspicions as to the motivations behind this, but that's another story.
 * I can understand RR's point - not that I agree with it, but I can understand it. However, the problem is that RR is not the one handing out the rollbacks and while he's banging on about lack of quality in those that have rollback rights, people who wouldn't meet RR's criteria for rollback continue to be granted rollback rights with no visible dispute by Manticore.  Considering that I got him involved in this issue because I believed there was an issue of moderator bias that was playing a roll in this decision process, having him bang on about qualifications that is not expected of the average rollback candidate while there potentially is an issue of ongoing injustice is failing to get the job done.
 * I simply don't believe that by Manticore's normal standards, AJ would be rejected for Rollback rights. I honestly think that if a person with a name he's never had an issue with had the same history as AJ, this entire incident would turn into a much different matter
 * I don't, BTW, disagree that someone who re-applied only a week after being rejected should be accepted under the claim that they've turned things around and have demonstrated a renewed competence. I lay no challenge to the third rejection.  However, the first two strike me as extraordinarily odd.

 * Rollback isn't a position of authority. It doesn't give you any more rights than a normal user. It is merely an additional technical tool to help revert vandalism. The fact that you think you need rollback to revert vandalism is quite concerning. Can you show any examples where you have actually reverted vandalism? Looking at your mainspace contributions, I can't see any edit summaries with "undo" or "revert", or anything similar that would indicate you are reverting vandalism. -- Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 19:40, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah, maybe the word "authority" is the wrong term. I admit that I edit talk pages frequently, but I resolve to do a better work, but the problem is, when I spotted vandalism, will I be putting all my time into entering a page with more than 32 kilobytes? I can only suggest to people who can do rollbacks. It is my wish that to do rollbacks when I spotted vandalism, maybe as well, to protect the pages which is most likely to be edit by newbs, even though in some cases, I haven't spotted vandalism as often as others, I would like to revert them when I spotted one.
