Rollback

Hi, I have been on Wikipedia for over a year and have made over 1k edits. I mostly edit and monitor history articles. Several articles are sometimes disrupted knowingly or unknowingly by editors for which I have to revert. Having Rollback right would make the patrolling work easier and help to combat vandalism. I am aware of most of Wikipedia polices (WP:OR,WP:NPOV,WP:RS,etc.) I have also authored few articles like Bajirao I see [1]. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 07:21, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions as I would like to utilize tools such as Huggle, which require this permission. I have been actively patrolling recent changes using a custom filter and have consistently notified users whose edits I have reverted. Thanks, – AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 20:00, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am a recent graduate from the [| Counter Vandalism Academy] and have been conducting counter vandalism using the Recent Edits page, and Twinkle. My tutor at the CVA, Cassiopeia, suggested I apply for rollback permission once I had completed my course, so that I could properly use Huggle for counter vandalism work. I have once previously applied for rollback permission, over 18 months ago, however this was understandably declined because it was premature. Since then, I have undertaken considerably more counter vandalism work (which I typically manage to undertake 2-5 hours per week) and I feel being able to use Huggle would significantly improve efficiency. I would also be happy to only be granted rollback permission on a trial basis, if that is an option. Thank you. Cabrils (talk) 04:42, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I confirmed Cabrils has taken and pass the CVUA program - see here with the final exam score of 95.5.Ping me if you need further info about Cabrils' work on CVUA. Cassiopeia talk 04:59, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello admins, I’m respectfully requesting rollback rights so that I may contribute more efficiently to counter-vandalism work using Huggle. Patrolling recent changes is what I enjoy most on Wikipedia, and I’ve found that it’s where I can make the most impact with the time I have available. I've made 1840 edits since January. At present, I review edits by right-clicking the diff link to open changes in a new tab in Chrome and then use RedWarn to revert and warn users when appropriate. While this process works, it's time-consuming and not ideal for high-volume patrolling. Having rollback rights would allow me to use Huggle, which would significantly increase my productivity and responsiveness in handling vandalism. Earlier, I made two requests for different user rights but withdrew them after realizing that my interest lies more in patrolling and counter-vandalism than in article creation or extended content curation. That said, I have written one article and contributed to creating another recently, and I do plan to continue helping in content areas where I can. I also take direction well and am open to feedback. Thank you for considering my request. m a MANÍ1990(talk | contribs) 21:48, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
