The Sims Wiki:Requests for rollback

Rollback requests are almost always open.

This is the page where formal requests for rollback rights can be filed. Rollback rights enable normal users to use a [rollback] button to quickly revert vandalism from history pages. It is particularly useful on when an admin is unavailable to take bigger action against vandals. There is no maximum number of rollback users, so if you believe you deserve rollback rights, please do not hesitate to make a request.

Requirements

 * Strong history of contributions, usually over 500, though quality is more important than quantity
 * History of anti-vandalism work - undoing or reporting vandals, or both
 * No history of serious blocks due to vandalism or sockpuppetry

Procedures

 * Add your name as a subheading under the section "Current Requests" and give a concise explanation (no more than several lines) as to why you deserve and require rollback rights. Please sign your posts.
 * Alternatively, another user may also nominate another eligible user for rollback rights. If this is the case, the applicant need only to say they accept the nomination.
 * Other users may or may not have questions. There will be no section for questions if there are no questions.
 * The Bureaucrats, will consider your request and make a decision. Please do not get too disappointed if your request is declined. You can always try again later.

I have created some stub pages, I tend to enjoy making cleanup edits such as fixing spelling, formatting etc as well as add more information to articles and I have done some new page patrolling. I revert vandalism when I see it and I think that I would benefit from the rollback rights when reverting vandalism as I have had a few occassions where vandals have made quite a few edits to a page, which is what rollback is good for. I am also a sysop on The Sims Medieval Wiki. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 20:42, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

I believe you deserve to get rollback rights. You have contributed to both wiki's allot, and you have an anti-vandal history. --BobNewbie (talk)(blog) 09:15, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Bob :) GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 19:43, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

To tell the truth, I'm not sure about you. I don't see you edit often, and stub pages are not good, so don't really be proud of that. I also see you're an admin over at the Medieval Wiki. Interesting.

He is an admin there, and a very good one at that. Remember, it's harder to work on a newer wiki thats months away from the games release, yet George is working really hard on improving the wiki. I also believe he will use the rollback rights fairly and wisely. BobNewbie (talk)(blog) 19:51, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

I see that he's working hard, but I still don't really think he's ready for them. He also doesn't have the required edit amount.


 * Auror is right about that. The only problem I see is that your edit count is low. BobNewbie talk •  blog 13:29, November 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're still a little light on edits here, but I see no other problem. I'm leaving your request open, but am favorably disposed toward it. Dharden (talk) 14:13, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

I have more than 500 edits, done some anti-vandalism undoes (Duskey knows that) and I have a nice and advanced English grammar. When I edit articles, I make sure that they follow the policy and are properly wiki-fied (one good example is the major edit I made to BobNewbie's contest). For me, the rollback rights are just the start of a long path until I finally deserve the Admin rights. ;) --- » Яσdяigσ X  [̲̅т̲̅α̲̅l̲̅k̲̅][̲̅b̲̅l̲̅σ̲̅g̲̅] « 14:54, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * You've done some good work on the wiki, and I believe you should get them. Good luck. ---

I have been inactive for a while, though I'm more active now because I have more time to spare. I have been a member since October 18th, 2009. Hopefully that is enough experience time, I have reverted some vandalism before, but I can't remember when I did.

I know and often read the policies to make sure I never miss anything. I use correct grammar all the time, and I do my part to answer requests here and correct the help-needing articles here. So please consider my request, I will use my powers to help as much as possible and I am on everyday, whether it's for 30 minutes to 6 hours.

I am also over the 1,000 mark of edits, and I used to be an admin for a now-closed wikia, can't remember the name though, it was a long time ago. Anyway, I am very active (as stated above). I hope you will consider me for the rollback permissions.

Sincerely, Giovanna

 * While you have many edits, you have no discernible history of anti-vandalism and you also seem new to wikis in general. You mention you were active before, was this under another account? Your earliest history only reveal 5 minor edits from October 19, 2009. Your request is still pending. -- Duskey talk 05:32, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

No, I was active before, I've never had another account, but I am used to wikis in general. I have to get some anti-vandalism history then.--♥DarthCookie♥ 04:39, September 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Three active bureaucrats and still no request notification?-- ♥DarthCookie♥ ♥Talk♥ 05:01, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I took a look at some of your edits and I agree with Duskey. It would be helpful if you gave your edits comments. --a_morris (talk) 21:27, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

You mean the summary?-- ♥DarthCookie♥ ♥Talk♥ 03:39, October 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes. Dharden (talk) 13:31, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

I can do that. :D-- ♥DarthCookie♥ ♥Talk♥ 02:45, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

I support her. She has shown what she can do on TSM wiki. She deserves rollback, IMO. GO COOKIE! BobNewbie (talk)(blog) 16:22, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't know you had a request here, she has my full support. She is nice, friendly and competent :). ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:51, October 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree with Guilherme. She is also hardworking and helpful. BobNewbie (talk)(blog) 18:56, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Support per all reasons above as well as that she is a bureaucrat on TSM wiki. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 19:15, October 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Approved. Record at wikiHow accepted in lieu of record here. Dharden (talk) 16:51, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Eduardog3000
Request: I could do good for the wiki, i have a lot of free time, and hate vandals, as for being blocked, I have been blocked 2 times, one lasted 3 days, the other, I was unblocked shortly after (see This Page), reason: got a little aggressive (both times).--Eduardog3000 02:05, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Also, I only have 363 edits.--Eduardog3000 02:49, August 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Based on these examples  I would say that you are too immature at the moment. Based on other edits it also seems that you need more experience with wiki editing. Duskey ( talk ) 18:00, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * More wiki editing?, rollback came on to me as going through the wiki and undoing vandalism, not to much knowledge needed. and about those two cases, I got a little aggressive, admins tell me i can't do something, i ask for an explanation why i can not, they don't give me a good answer, i get mad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eduardog3000 (talk • contribs) - Sign your comments with ~
 * An editor needs to know when to use rollback instead of undo by having a clear definition of what constitutes vandalism. Any editor should also be calm when making edits. Request denied for now for reasons stated above as well as it has been too soon since your last block. I'll be happy to accept the request at a later date after you gather a little more experience and show you can be a mature editor. --a_morris (talk) 16:52, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Request denied. Duskey ( talk ) 02:45, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

thehvnteam
Request: I have added information to this wiki like added missing catagories and deleting fanon and deleting work done by vandals because I had a warning for vandalizing a page I go on here anytime I can. Thehvnteam 20:24, August 9, 2010 (UTC)thehvnteam 04:31 August 9,2010
 * You're still low on edits and most importantly: activity here on The Sims Wiki. Spend some more time here and get familiar with it. Feel free to request again at a later time. Duskey ( talk ) 02:45, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Guilherme Guerreiro
Thanks very much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Guilherme Guerreiro (talk • contribs) 19:59, August 23, 2010 (UTC) - Sign your comments with ~
 * I am active almost everyday in this wiki
 * I am very nice
 * 1770+ edits
 * I like welcoming new users and thank them for good actions
 * I expanded many sim pages mainly
 * I help in vandalising situations
 * Sometimes I make 100+ edits in one day
 * I created many categories
 * We've recently adopted a new policy for admin requests: Rollback rights are required before you can request to become an admininistrator. This information is available on this page, but not the admin page, I will add it right away. I took the liberty of moving your request here.


 * In my opinion you have a very good chance of becoming a rollback user. Unfortunately our only active bureaucrat is away at the moment so please be patient as we handle your request. Duskey ( talk ) 02:45, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * request granted. --a_morris (talk) 21:46, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Eduardog3000
I have slightly over 500 edits, I'm on (most) EVERYDAY, and I have nothing better to do. (Please Note, that last one was a JOKE)--Eduardog3000 20:30, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Request granted. -- Duskey talk 05:32, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

RaikuLuciferSamiyaza
I have been helping this wiki since February, this year, and I mainly revert vandalism. I am currently rollback on Wikipedia, and I have been sysop before on a small wiki. I can greatly use this power to help the wiki, so please let me have it. Thanks, RaikuTalk 22:24, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * It sounds like you have experience with wiki administration, though your edit count for this wiki is still much lower than the suggested count for rollback requests. Your request is still pending. -- Duskey talk 11:29, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Request denied. I would recommend you spend more time on The Sims Wiki and familiarize yourself more with this wiki. -- Duskey talk 05:32, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

BobNewbie
Hi,um, whoever is reading this. I am reqeusting for rollback rights. Im still very young on the wiki, 61 edits, but I did all that in little time. I have read through almost every article and I try to help where I can. I have never been reported of vandalism on any wiki or site. I try to be respectfull to everyone, and listen to everyones opinion. I never resort to bad langauge or bad faith. I am requesting because I am a very creative and computer-wise person, and I have many ideas to improve the wiki for everyone. I understand if my request is denied, but please state how I can improve more. Thanx BobNewbie :) 11:09, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Definite thumbs down. Too little experience. And based on the grammar you used, you aren't ready for the tools yet. Although, you're lucky I'm only a moderator. It's not my decision, It's Duskey's or a_morris's decision. ---
 * I agree with Auror. You only have a few edits, your grammar isn't really good (your contest showed that before I edited it) and I don't think you have taken anti-vandalism measures. Don't want to be mean to you, I'm just explaining what you can read above. --- » Яσdяigσ X  [̲̅т̲̅α̲̅l̲̅k̲̅][̲̅b̲̅l̲̅σ̲̅g̲̅] « 14:56, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Request denied. You've made a good start, though. Stick around for a while and build up an anti-vandalism record. Dharden (talk) 16:36, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

You do a lot of good work here and on TSM wiki and I feel that you will do well with rollback rights. GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions20:26, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Support- Nice person, dedicated, he has made a very good job and I feel he improved his grammar I think he is very kind and because he is dedicating he will do a great job reverting vandalism. Good Luck ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:24, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
