Rollback

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 converseedits 18:25, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've been patrolling Recent Changes for a long time now and wanted to try something different: Huggle and/or AntiVandal. I haven't been extremely active lately, but my work should be clearing up soon. I've read WP:ROLLBACK and always try to warn editors. Thank you for your consideration.

Requesting rollback to help with my anti-vandalism work. I understand the guidelines and already consistently warn users and use appropriate edit summaries. Cremastra ‹ uc › 03:01, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since I started actively contributing to Wikipedia, most of my efforts have been reverting vandalism and RCP. I would like rollback permissions so I can use tools such as Huggle, and remove the need to open diffs in a new tab and manually inspect them. Thank you for considering me. /etc/owuh $ (💬 | she/her) 00:55, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Five months ago, I requested rollback rights, but Admin Fastily rejected the request, advising me to spend some time on recentchanges, warn editors when reverting their edits, and gain more experience. I have diligently followed this guidance and now feel that the time is right to submit another request for rollback rights. I am confident in distinguishing between good-faith and bad-faith edits and always ensure to warn editors when necessary. Currently, I am also serving as an AFC reviewer and Pending Changes reviewer. Thank you for considering my request. Baqi:) (talk) 14:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jannatulbaqi I'm not declining, but I'm a bit concerned that you're a bit too quick to use semi-automated tools when reviewing edits. For example, you reverted this edit, when you should've just removed the entire sentence per WP:BLPSOURCE. You also reverted this one, but didn't tag the article with {{current sports transaction}}. --Ahecht (TALK

Thank you, respected Ahecht, for noting this. The first edit I reverted was due to a local slur that was highly offensive. Secondly, while reverting, I had asked in the edit summary, "where is the reference?" when I should have used the proper tag on the article. I assure you that such mistakes will not occur in the future. Thank you. Baqi:) (talk) 18:44, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jannatulbaqi I'll leave it up to another admin to grant or deny the request, but in the future when you revert highly offensive material, you should also request WP:Revision deletion. --Ahecht (TALK

Thank you, I will take care of that in future:) Baqi:) (talk) 18:58, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
