I respectfully request Rollback access to facilitate the use of Huggle, which will allow me to promptly and efficiently revert vandalism. I've been monitoring Recent Changes for the past 2-3 months, reverting disruptive edits.
I'm familiar with some Wikipedia policies, including: Reporting repeated vandals after 4 talk page warnings at WP:AIV, reporting reporting sock puppet accounts at WP:SPI and following the 3-revert rule (WP:3RR). And also I'm familiar with the use of Twinkle. ®asteem Talk 20:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make (especially when reverting good faith edits). Are you aware of tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which make this extremely easy? -Fastily 21:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Fastily, I'm already using Twinkle. I've warned many users for vandalism, but I don't warn new users who have made only one edit, as per "Back Biting" guideline. Instead, I typically warn a user after their second vandalism attempt. But in future I'll consider warning users even after one non-constructive edit. ®asteem Talk 21:47, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- No, that is incorrect. You need to be leaving notifications (or warnings) for every revert, regardless of how many edits the user has made or whether this is the user's first instance of vandalism. -Fastily 01:07, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
{{Done}}I'll always leave a warning notice on their talk page without digging into their number of edits. ®asteem Talk ®asteem Talk 01:54, 3 November 2024 (UTC)- Great, could you please now go do some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will always be notifying all editors when you revert their edits? Also please don't use
{{Done}}or{{Not done}}in your replies to me; on this page at least, these are for admin use only. -Fastily 02:36, 3 November 2024 (UTC)- Sure, I'll do RC patrol & will always notify users when I revert their changes. I sincerely apologize for using {done} or {not done} previously. ®asteem Talk 03:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I would like rollback right because: 1. I am a Recent Changes Patroller, who knows what is considered vandalism 2. Because when multiple occurrences of vandalism is occuring I have to go 1 by 1 and that can take time to revert all the vandalism. 3. I also just think it would help me fight vandalism in general. Thank you for any consideration. MersmanD (talk) 01:34, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Not done Please see the notice at the top of this page; with only 19 edits to the mainspace, I don't think you have the necessary editing experience for advanced permissions. Take a moment to check out CVUA, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. Also this was grossly inappropriate, do not do this again. Fastily 02:36, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, if you were referring to the edit count, it was all in one space and I was trying to delete a point and accidentally deleted the number and the 100 was merged into the text below, in this case the edit count. Sorry for the edit I made, I will be more careful next time. MersmanD (talk) 02:42, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- I will be more careful with my edits in the future, especially with formatting. MersmanD (talk) 02:52, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
