Your request for rollback

Hi Asad112. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 20:02, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Nero the second

Hi Asad,

An administrator can use rollback, just like any other editor with access to rollback, but rollback is only supposed to be used in cases of obvious vandalism. Those edits look to me like they're politically motivated and disruptive, but I wouldn't quite call them vandalism. I'm afraid somebody is going to have to undo them one by one.

Nero probably used WP:AWB, an automated tool. You could use it to revert him, but I would recommend against it. Instead, discuss the advantages of the old template at the TfD discussion and we'll ask Nero to revert his own edits if it's a keep. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:13, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
