I've been RC patrolling for a few years now, requesting rollback right so I can fight vandalism more effectively and use the anti-vandal tools that require it. 『π』BalaM314〘talk〙 13:43, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've been doing recent changes patrolling on a regular basis, and asking for rollbacking rights to increase my effeciency on my counter-vandalism efforts. I meet all the prerequisites mentioned in the instructions. Krsnaquli ^(🙏) 17:21, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have been patrolling Special:RecentChanges and Special:AbuseLog for about 40-50 days, definitely more than a month, and have collected over 610 edits, most of which are reverts of vandalism. I have only been given one warning regarding my editing, a contentious topics BLP alert, and have never engaged in edit warring or been blocked. Although I was more careless about warning users earlier, I always place {{uw}}s when I revert edits, except in the most minor and routine reversions. As everything moves very quickly at Special:RecentChanges, rollback would help me revert obviously bad-faith edits quicker and also possibly use AntiVandal and Huggle.

I would like to request for Rollback permission, so that I can help tackle vandalism in Wikipedia articles. I am reaching 2000 edits and have never been involved in any edit warring or any fights at any point. I work well with other users and consistently give proper edit summary for most changes I make. The only suggested requirement I don't currently meet is to notify other users on their Talk Page when reverting an edit (I have only reverted a few obvious vandalism), but I will definitely do it from now on.

I will follow all the rules listed on this page, and am familiar with the editing guidelines. I will be a good addition to the Wikipedia community and will help prevent vandalism with this rollback permission. SeanBeans1981 (talk) 07:15, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello SeanBeans1981, you have never used the "undo" link next to someone else's edit yet ([1]), and your list of manual reverts is very short. I'm very open to granting this permission to an experienced editor like you, but you'd need to have the required track record of countervandalism, for example by using the links here on my dashboard to find and undo vandalism without the rollback tool for a while. See Help:Reverting for ways to undo multiple contributions at once, see WP:UWARN for templates to be used on the reverted users' talk pages. Please notify me on my talk page (or re-request here) when you have built the track record of recent changes patrolling experience. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:52, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions so I can use some other tools that will make it a lot faster to revert vandalism. Currently I just click diffs on recent changes, which isn't exactly the fastest. Thank you, CardboardLamp (^T_C) 00:55, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am back from a Wikibreak and committed to editing again, particularly in AV. I had rollback on my old account, but regardless I still meet the criteria now. I've made over 200 mainspace edits, have multiple months experience with RC patrolling (albeit on and off), try to hold myself to a 1R rule for reverts not exempt from edit warring, and always warn after I revert. I use Ultraviolet for AV and know my way around Huggle, so rollback would help me use both of these quicker and more efficiently. In addition to my reverts, I have made several G3 requests and AIV reports (all of which were acted on in some way), and am active in anti-promotion work. Thanks, UpTheOctave! • 8^va? 20:51, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I have been patrolling recent changes for a while and I would like to request the rollback permission. Most of my edits since I signed up have been undos and reverts, and I have already been using Ultraviolet for a while. I have read the guidelines and I understand when I'm supposed to use rollback. Thanks. Crushcrushcrush1 (talk) 11:48, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To help mass revert any vandalism on Singapore MRT pages, especially if it's an IP/vandal. I usually oversee these articles.--ZKang123 (talk · contribs) 07:19, 3 October 2025 (UTC) ZKang123 (talk · contribs) 07:19, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I second this as someone who works on MRT articles. Kawasaki Heavy Industries C151 was nearly demoted of its GA status as it accumulated unsourced content/vandalism. Icepinner 11:37, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded as well. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 13:53, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been helping a bit with 2025 Manchester Synagogue attack and it would be useful to quickly remove vandalism on this sensitive topic. Furbybrain (talk) 10:03, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted some edits that removed content and even welcomed them to Wikipedia. I would revert worse things with this role. I will make Wikipedia a better place with this role, so this role will be useful to my goal. WikiHelper3906 13:20, 4 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to request WP:RBK to combat vandalism by using Twinkle and Ultraviolet. At the same time, I monitor at special:RecentChanges. I have also installed AntiVandal as a tool to use rollback. Thanks. JohnDavies9612 (talk) 16:13, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
