Request: Spirit-of-HALO
I figured out the rollback rights by HaloDude and CommanderTony just recently. I wanted it because recently a couple of pages have been completely vandalized and couldn't do a thing about it (because the whole pages were practically deleted). And also I would like to better Halopedia from, you know, the vandalizes that come here and messes up stuff. Even though I'm just a User, I think I need to learn a lot more about Halopedia. Thank-you and have a nice day. Spirit-of-HALO

Request: Mjl91
I recently heard about Rollback rights from one of the Admins. I have experienced vandalism before and realise how frustrating it must be for a site like this to be constantly under the pressure of vandalism by people who have nothing better to do. I hope that if given rollback rights I will be able to by my small contribution decrease the amount of vandalism on this site. This site is the expert on everything Halo-related, and to reduce vandalism here would be a great honour.

Thank you, Mjl91

Request: Grievous797
I've been here since early February '07 and was a member of the now deleted Anti-Vandal Coalition. I have the edits required. I've helped take down quite a bit of vandals, mostly forwarding info to the admins. I also helped take down the vandal Uncivilgoth666 by forwarding information. (such warnings are evident in my contributes). However, my reverting of vandalism is quite bare, due to the time between forwarding of the info, and going to undo it it had already been done. I helped take down a lot of vandals, but I suppose that wouldn't count without "reverting" of vandalism. Might as well try.


 * Approved, has the experience and the edits. [[Image:CommanderTony Logo.PNG|25px]] General  Tony ,  Administrator of Halopedia  Talk 6/8/2008

Request 2: Spirit-of-HALO
I have failed on my recent request for rollback not to long ago and was wondering if I can give it a try once more. Since the time I've asked, I think Ive gotten use to, well, at least trying to revert edits or just unneeded edits made by users or banned users. During that time, its beed hard trying to "manualy" revert edits. I have also gave feed back to other Administrators about vandalism on articles or other such subjects. Thank-you for your time.

Request: Subtank
Dear Administration Team,

Request for Rollback.

I've been here since early September '07 and started off by making corrections on grammar and spelling. I have the edits required, approximately over 1400 in total (1000+ of Main Page Edits) as I write this request. I've contributed by making several articles to the wiki as well as fixing the articles' quality. I've helped take down very few vandals, (In general those who spammed articles and created multiple account, otherwise known as sock-puppeting). Having rollback rights would greatly assist me in combating vandals as well as helping me in repairing broken articles.

Thank you for your time and have a nice day/night.H-107 Subtle Tank 17:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Request: Stigma-231
I have been among the dedicated members of Halopedia for over three months now. In those three months, I've worked hard to try and make Halopedia a better place in my own way; especially reverting bad edits. I've had to make do with the normal tools provided to the average editor, and although I have figured out how to revert multiple edits by a user, the process is very slow and inefficient. I believe, if I had rollback, I could be faster and more effective in fighting vandalism. As I always have, I only ask for this in hopes of improving Halopedia and all of its articles. If it helps any, I have gone through my contributions and pulled out 13 of my reverts and compiled them in a list, which can be found here. I have the differences included, as well as the previous editor' special contributions, in most occasions. I know I have the required number of edits; the editcount doesn't lie. If there are any questions or concerns or anything, feel free to ask me; I will be happy to comply if it helps solidify my chances of getting rollback. I sincerely thank you for your time, the administration team of Halopedia, and I eagerly await a response. - Stigma-231 ·† i used to rule the world †·[ Talk ][ Work ] 02:30, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Rollback granted. Quite frankly, I would have given it to you way earlier if I could. Your numerous reversions of vandalism and bad edits have been invaluable! --  Councillor  Specops306  -  Kora   'Morhek  23:00, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Request 3: Spirit-of-HALO
I have made over 2,000 edits to Halopedia and contributed in many ways, helping users, and restoring back edits that have been "impassible" or unacceptable. During my last 2 request, I have failed to pass, but, now I'm ready. I have seen a few articles that have been completely deleted such as Halo 3 where I contacted an Administrator to restore it back, as for me, it would taken a lot to restore back "manually", another page Maria-062 was also deleted and did the same as I did last time, Ive also corrected vandalism on the Halo 3 skull "I Would Have Been Your Daddy" by deleting the "added numbers" to confuse the users. I also increased my time in editing to fight and take out vandalism, such as restoring back information or "Tool boxes" that have been taken out. I've been efficient enough to contribute a lot, but a little slow when I don't have roll back rights, I ask permission to have the rights to better Halopedia. Thank-you for your time.

 * This might not be to my business, but in reference to your recent contribution, none of them has particularly emphasize on undoing vandalisms. It really makes me think did you made the 2000 edits just to get a rollback right? And really, you should remove that sniper rifle gif.

Request by KillerCRS
Look, I may not have the 1000 edits required (rather 760 at the time of typing this), but I do fall into the other category of being an admin on another wiki. I'm an admin at Gruntipedia and also an admin at the dead Bomberman Wiki, even though that's currently ran by a sadistic admin whom of which I have no control over. Anyway, back to the topic: I want rollback rights because I spend most of my IRC time in #cvn-wikia-halo. I check it every 20 minutes when I'm on the computer, and scout out vandalism. When I go to revert said vandalism, I have to use the undo button, which is extremely slow and can be edit conflicted. Maybe if I had rollback I wouldn't need to worry about the whole taking too long or edit conflict things. Regards, -- Kwarshinator - (contact) - (contribs) - (edit count)  11:56, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Request by Dark Neptune
I have recently got a 1000 edits award to remind me I have a thousand edits since I have join Halopedia about 8 months ago. The last couple of months I wanted to make this request, but I do not have a 1000 edits yet as a requirement. Some of my edits were to revert Spam-edits or unwanted pages, but however considering the fact that Edit Conflicts are inevitable, this cleanup jobs are most of the time rather annoying. So if I had a Rollback Right, it would make my job easier. Thanks!

Thanks! Dark Neptune 01:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Request for forgottenlord
Not sure if I should be granted this. My countervandalism work has been fairly minimal but I have achieved the 1000 edit requirement so I thought I might as well ask. --forgottenlord 20:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Approved, i'm surprised you don't have them already! [[Image:CommanderTony Logo.PNG|25px]] General  Tony ,  Administrator of Halopedia  Talk 7/22/2008

Request by ImperatorExercitus
Well, I have 952 total edits, with 677 being mainspace edits. I've also reverted plenty of vandalism, either through "Undo" or forwarding to Admins such as SpecOps306. I'm reasonably accustomed with Rollback, as it is extremely similar to "undo" (which I've used in abundance to remove incorrect information, spam, or downright vandalism). For example, I've reverted many of Waffles the Hunter's edits. While they are not "vandalism", many are unwanted edits. I have also helped take down the vandal Pisaman, who also created different socks, such as Pisaman2.

Some examples of reverting vandalism:

Some twat placed "breasts" in the page

placing the word "condom"

placing "Breasts"

Pisaman2's replacing with "Breasts"

Of course, there are more scattered throughout my contributions, but I feel these suffice. Cheers.

Request by Fleetmaster
i have been here since May. I currently hold the rank of Major which I earned by actually fixing pages. When I first learned of these hackers my anger rose. They were basically cheating their way into the top 50 users list. Then about in Mid-June I learned about rollback rights. I asked many Users such as User:EwCDnaudee419, User:Spirit-of-HALO, and User:ImperatorExercitus. I have only manuallly undone 50 or so vandalizing or unneeded edits, but I have warned many new users about point whoring and how it is bad for Halopedia. Plus I have reported a some vandals vandals that only raise their rank to corporal or sergeant to avoiding looking suspicious. I am trying my best. Fleetmaster 17:53, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Denied, no offense, but by looking at your contributions earlier this month, I saw that you point whored many times. In addition, you aren't the best of people to have such rights due to some of your behavior and comments in the past. [[Image:CommanderTony Logo.PNG|25px]] General  Tony ,  Administrator of Halopedia  Talk 8/27/2008


 * I'm insulted. What do you suggest I do to be accepted on a later request? Thank You.Fleetmaster 18:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Your insulted....well you've insulted my time spent on here on many occasions. As for what you can do, start cleaning up your act and start being a trustworthy member on here. Just because you are a Major, doesn't mean you deserve rollback rights, or deserve a little bit more than everyone else.
