Hey, I was granted a 3-month trial by Robertsky, and I used Anti-Vandal to counter vandalism. However, it was not renewed. Now I would like to continue using this amazing tool to counter vandalism. Thanks. GrabUp - Talk 14:27, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 03:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fastily: Does my previous trial not provide enough evidence of my experience with this tool? I don’t like the layout of SPECIAL:RECENTCHANGES, where I have to manually handle these tasks. That’s why I haven’t done much anti-vandalism work recently. However, during my trial period, when I had access to the Anti-Vandal tool, I performed sufficient anti-vandalism work. Where is it written that I need to perform anti-vandalism work in recent days to qualify for the rollback role? The requirement simply states, “At least a month of experience patrolling Special:RecentChanges.” I have used the Anti-Vandal tool during my 3-month trial and demonstrated sufficient experience. Additionally, I consistently warn users when I revert their edits. GrabUp - Talk 05:10, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are you aware that rollback functionality is already available in Twinkle or Ultraviolet and that you don't need elevated permissions to access these tools? The rollback right gates access to high-volume anti-vandalism tools such as Huggle or AntiVandal which are for patrolling RecentChanges. In the wrong hands, these tools can cause a lot damage in a short amount of time. So I have to admit, this is an unusual request. It has been months since your trial ended, I haven't seen any obvious need for the right based on your recent contributions, and you don't seem to be interested in patrolling RecentChanges, so why are you suddenly interested in this right? -Fastily 06:24, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I want access to the Anti-Vandal tool, which will automate the process. I didn’t say I dislike the RecentChanges feature, but rather the manual process involved. I have not caused any type of damage with any tools I have more valuable than the rollback right, nor did I misuse this tool when I had it for three months. I hope you understand. Cheers! GrabUp - Talk 06:29, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. However, I see that you were blocked for disruptive hat collecting last June. Would you care to comment on that? Also courtesy ping for @Joe Roe. -Fastily 09:31, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fastily: Yeah, I was. It was because of NPP. Since then, I have done a lot of work, which is why I gained trust and received the AP and NPP temp flags. I am using these flags not just for show. Also, I would like to add that I want my application to be reviewed by another admin, as Fastily may lost community trust during the Recall and has just posted a resignation request at the Bureaucrats’ noticeboard. If recent vandalism work is needed, then update the notification at this permission to state, ‘Recent one month of experience is needed,’ instead of ‘One month of experience needed.’ GrabUp - Talk 08:32, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Recent one month of experience is not strictly necessary. You can get this right with, say, recent three weeks of experience. What is necessary is having at least one month of any experience. That's why the header says that. JJPMaster (she/they) 15:16, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JJPMaster: Thanks for your reply. What I’m saying is that I had this right before, which expired in August, and I want it again. I held the right for three months and obviously have more than one month of experience. GrabUp - Talk 15:20, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:RowanJ LP

I am requesting rollback rights to further help with my contribution to anti-vandalism, with I having done actions to prevent vandalism on pages like Johnny Somali and Islamic State-related articles. RowanJ LP (talk) 04:34, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I see you've got limited or no experience of patrolling WP:recentchanges, which is where rollback comes in handy. For your use case, installing WP:Twinkle is instead a logical next step. This allows you to semi-automatically WP:warn users, which you don't do consistently. When you revert vandalism, you should always leave a warning, which you didn't do for quite a few reverts including [1]. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:28, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to cautiously begin assisting in identifying and removing vandalism. Thanks. WhyIAddA (talk) 20:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Automated comment This user has 74 edits in the mainspace. — MusikBot talk 04:30, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done I'm sorry, but you fail the minimum criteria for this permission (200 edits to mainspace) and you don't seem to be involved in any recent anti-vandalism work. I suggest getting yourself involved in antivandalism and editing for a month or two more before re-applying for this user right. Fathoms Below (talk) 06:45, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Demt1298

I am a newpage editor with autopatrol approval. I have been monitoring the Recent Chane list working to revert mainly vandalism while continuing to maintain my own editing. Demt1298 (talk) 15:10, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:VolatileAnomaly

Ever since I became active on Wikipedia, my main interest has been combatting vandalism. With over a month of experience patrolling recent changes, I would therefore like to apply for rollback to better assist with the project, potentially utilizing tools such as Huggle.

User:Mwwv

I have been patrolling recent changes on-and-off for around 6 months now. Been looking to try out tools like Huggle or AV to replace the manual "ctrl+clicking diff links on recent changes and seeing if they're bad". I have read the necessary pages, and I understand how rollback may be used. mwwv converse∫edits 18:25, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
