Aloha! I've spent a while going through recent changes and I consistently warn editors with RedWarn. My understanding is that the rollbacker permission can help with this by allowing access to special tools like AntiVandal and speed things up, especially when I need to mass-revert all the edits of a user.

@Cleo Cooper: Looks good overall, however please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits.  Done -Fastily 22:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I monitor Recent Changes, used to do it very frequently and getting back into it recently. RainGuest (talk) 00:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I noticed you make a handful of edits, and then drop off for months/years at a time. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 22:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been reverting vandalism as an account for about a month now, and have familiarized myself with Twinkle as well. Also note the 20,000 edits, mostly anti-vandal, that I made as an IP. Lynch44 (talk) 01:49, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 22:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you consider me not fit for rollback due to this, then I am more than willing to wait further if necessary, and I will try to be more efficient in warning others in the future. Lynch44 (talk) 01:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've neither approved nor denied your request. But I would like to have a conversation on why you haven't been notifying editors after reverting their edits. Is it because... you didn't know you needed to, you've been acting too quickly without giving proper attention to each revert, etc? -Fastily 05:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Part of it was me assuming the edit was so minor that an edit summary would be sufficient (like the second diff), or, just not giving a warning or notice because I did not feel there was a specific one that could fit. Again, I will try to warn or notify all editors when reverting them in the future. Lynch44 (talk) 10:13, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:CanonNi

Hello. I'm re-applying for Rollback rights a month after my previous was declined. During the past month, I've actively patrolled RecentChanges, reverting bad-faith edits and warning editors with Ultraviolet, and increasing my edit count to over 6500. I've also gained a thorough understanding of relevant policies, such as WP:VAN. In addition, I was granted AfC reviewer and NPP rights.

The main reason I would like Rollback rights is to revert vandalism and disruptive editing quicker and easier, as well as the usage of more advanced tools such as AntiVandal and Huggle.

Thanks for considering my request! '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 14:06, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The user addressed that above. Not helpful. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 14:15, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheTechie: Please don't tell the bot which auto comments about past declines that it's not helpful. Additionally, please try to avoid commenting on other's applications unless you believe there's something relevant a reviewing admin should know that they're unlikely to find when evaluating a user.

@Fastily Thank you for asking. The first edit in question was in good faith, so I thought there was no need for a warning. However, the second and third edits are indeed my mistake. However, most of my reverts come with a warning (e.g. 1, 2, 3) but I'll still make sure to warn editors whenever needed in the future. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 23:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 00:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I promise to always warn or notify editors when reverting their edits, no matter if it is good-faith or not. Thank you for the heads-up. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk|contribs) 01:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks for confirming  Done -Fastily 05:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! For about the past month, I've been patrolling recent changes and have gotten to know Ultraviolet well as I consistently warn users who make unconstructive and bad-faith edits. I am requesting rollback rights to further enhance my patrolling by using tools such as AntiVandal which will speed up the process greatly and Huggle which is a helpful tool to have to combat vandalism. Rollback also makes my reverts faster and more efficient allowing me to respond faster and better. Wiiformii (talk) 15:00, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
