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. Archived Requests: 1 | 2 | 3

Request 3: Galacticdominator (Closed)
It has been almost one month since my first request. I now have over 2000 edits and would be eligible for a RfA if I had the "Rollback rights for a month" requirement. This time I will make sure not to delete wiki code unless I am absolutly sure it shouldn't be there. Please give me another chance. I know why I lost them in the first place and will be sure not to do it again. ~   ~   ~   ~   21:09, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

To our noble Administrators.

Can I has Rollback? Now, putting the noob-effect aside, I have performed many vandalism reverts by notifying the Administration Team (Ask Subtank or Smoke.) and I believe acquiring this Rollback Rights will further enhance my performance in combating vandalisms. Please note that I have successfully acquired the editcount requirements.

Request: G35cpe (Closed)
Now, I known that I do not have 1000 edits yet (only a bit over half), but I would like to request the rollback tool at this time. One reason is that I would like to have the ease of reverting vandalism at click of a button, but I also do intend to engage in further anti-vandalism activities. I know that I do not have much (if any) at the moment, but I will say that I will be trying to focus on it in the near future. I have rights to the rollback tool on the English Wikipedia, under the username, Connormah, so I would say I have the experience in reverting vandalism, dealing with it extensively, and when and when not to use the tool. I also have the sysop flag for the Halo 3 Mythbusters Wiki, and another personal Wikia project. Thanks for your time, I will try my best to answer any inquiries you may have. Thanks. G35cpe 00:46, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

- I've seen that this user is very dedicated on the English Wikia, and that he has used his Rollback Rights effeciently and responsibly. I see no reason why his lack of edits here should really matter (he is over halfway), and granting him RR would only increase his edit account on this Wikia.

Hello, Administrator team. I have come to possibly request Rollback Rights. I have un-done quite a few vandals, not alot, though. I have but 3 more than 1,000 total edits on this Wikia, and am an Admin on the Teir'Yuu Wikia, that I have owned since November of 2009. I doubt this will count, though.

Even though I have had edit wars in the past but I have over 1,000 edits and I have been fighting vandalism: Although they were very far apart still I think that I might do well with Rollback Rights against vandalism. Most of the time I don't get vandals was because some other Rollback users come and get it. And I will mostly use Rollback Rights to combat vandalism while others I will use an edit summary. So can I have Rollback Rights?

Hello my fellow admins. I am here to request for Rollback Rights. Here is my edit count. As you can see, I have way more than 1000 mainspace edits. The reason why I didn't request Rollback Rights when I had 1000 was becuase I wanted to wait until I became more experienced. I now have over six months of experience on Halopedia and would like to have Rollback Rights. You can be assured that the Rollback Rights you grant me will help me fight vandalism or incorrect edits more quickly and more swifly. If you are unsure of my abilities, then please take a moment to view my contributions. Thank you for taking your time to read my request. -- (_)LTR/-\ FRCE 16:37, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hello there Roll-backers, Admins and the odd Bureaucrats. I know my edit count is just 80 but I have a whole lot of experience on other wikis and have thousands of edits there. I am a Bureaucrat on the Starfleet Commander wiki (Link Above) which has almost 6000 users. Statistics. I hope to become an admin here in a couple of months after I get my edit count up to 5000. I also understand what I did wrong earlier this year. I still think the actions were way to harsh of being blocked for 1 month for disagreeing with the admin.

Request: Fluffball Gato (Closed)
Yesterday, I ran into an unregistered contributer who edited a page 5+ times to completely mess up the statistics within it. Although I was able to copy and paste the old version of the page over all the edits, having rollback rights would make it easier for me in the future. I'm pretty active here, as you probably know, and have well over 1,000 edits. I would like rollback rights to prevent having to do the copy-paste technique again... It would be faster.--Fluffball Gato 00:08, June 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you please provide some links to show some examples of vandalism you had to counter?
 * Well, this is the edit I was referring to. I revert all vandalism I see, but I often change the summary from "undo revision by" to my own. I can look for more if you want, but I only revert edits that are obviously vandalizing the page or untrue. --Fluffball Gato 23:57, June 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * - User meets requirements.
 * — Normally I don't vote in the "I have no opinion category, but i'll make one up anyways" category, but you honestly don't seem to need Rollback status. Multiple times you have been frustrated by my colleagues (with Admin/B-crat, and rollback status) who revert anything without a reason. In the past, you seemed to start small editing conflicts which got you in the crosshairs of more senior editors. Like you said, the "undo reversion" button is largely your preference for dealing with things.
 * , but with no malice. All your points are valid, you're an active user, but you still have a questionable history; both in your edits and your logs. If you want me to be really honest, your frustration you've had against other rollbackers shows that you need more time. You are indeed a potential user and I'll say I have every respect for you as such. Keep up your work with your current tools, maintain your activity, and eventually you'll have them. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 20:00, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re-request (?): Stryker117 (Passed)
Hey, Admins. I requested rollback back in 2008 (before my two-year vacation from Halopedia), and had my request approved. However, I don't seem to have the ability to rollback edits, nor am I in the list of users w/ rollback privileges.

So I guess I'm requesting rollback again. While I don't have a huge amount of vandalism-reverting to list here like most of the other users, I do mark useless pages for deletion whenever I come across them. I have also created some 250 articles, so I'd like to think I know what a good article looks like.

Please consider my request, and if you decide that I should have rollback rights, I'll make sure to put that privilege to good use.

 * - I cannot find any evidence in your logs that you once held rollback (most likely due to a shift in log clearing that occurred back in 2008). That aside, your edits are by no means on the low side, but you only recently became active; if you keep up that good work and in the meantime provide examples of vandalism reverts, I'll grant your request. Have a nice day! - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 06:35, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Example of vandalism revert
 * Another example - I know this looks kind of wierd, but on this one, I didn't notice that he had edited it twice, so my undoing of his later edit just reverted it back to his earlier one. I alerted an admin and it was subsequently fixed.
 * It's not much, but it shows (especially the second example) that rollback could really help me revert vandalism. Thank you, Noblelogo.png // <font color="MidnightBlue">ŝтŕγκęŕ  [ <font color="SteelBlue">COM | <font color="SteelBlue">LOG/M  | <font color="SteelBlue">LOG/S  ]
 * You do not require rollback to mass revert multiple edits. To do so, go to "History" and check between revisions and revert them with the "Undo" button. Rollback simply allows all this to be done in a click. That said, a couple of reverts isn't, in my opinion, satisfactory for a rollback request. Sorry if I sound harsh this way, but I need a few more from you to consider this. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 18:07, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Another example
 * Maybe not vandalism, just threw it in there anyway

Hello fellow Halopedians. I've been around this site for almost two years now, while I just recently reached the 1,000 edit mark, I do have an understanding of this site's structure and HTML code. In the last year I've become much more active and I intend to keep it that way, as reverting vandalism and misdirected edits is one of my favorite hobbies. Aside from infuriating vandals, I also add information to articles and clean them up as well. I fix discrepancies and contradictions within articles too. With these last few points, I would like to request Rollback rights so that I may deal with vandals and incompetent editing here on Halopedia with ease.

Hello, admins. As you all know, I have been active on Halopedia for several years, especially as of late. I have undone countless unconstructive edits and acts of vandalism, particularly over the last six or so months. I seek to uphold Halopedia's high standards of excellence and thus actively fight against editors - especially IP users - who would mar this wiki's pristine quality. Similarly, I mark unneeded articles and images for deletion as soon as they are posted, especially when they are of low quality. I feel that rollback rights would make this task a lot easier. As of this writing, I have made 3,112 mainspace edits. Here is my list of contributions, should you wish to review them.

Hello Admins (Yes, I somehow learned that only admins can comment on these requests), I've been part of Halopedia for 2 years already, and on the start of my third year, I would like to request for rollback rights.

I have met the requirement of 1,000+ edits and while I understand that I have barely battled any vandals except for someone who changes the infobox codings and breaks links (here, here, here, here, and here) and two minor vandal, I'm certain that I have undone numerous incorrect information, and here are some examples linked below:
 * Avery Junior Johnson
 * YSS-1000 Sabre
 * Landfall
 * SOEIV
 * John-117
 * Delta Halo (level)
 * The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)

I am also a janitor, having cleaned up some of the articles here, and here are some examples:
 * Rtas 'Vadum
 * Military acronyms
 * The Heretic
 * Halo 3: ODST credits
 * Prophet of Regret/Quotes
 * List of Marathon references in the Halo series
 * Incendiary gel
 * Rations

I have also undone several unconstructuive edits by a single user in one edit, which would have been easier with rollback. If you want to see more, here is the list of my contributions. Thank you for your considerations, and no matter what your decision is, I will continue to do my best in Halopedia. — S331 (When I played Halo: CE, we didn't have any fancy-shmancy armor abilities...) 11:16, 20 September 2011 (EDT)
