Recently, I have reverted several edits on pages within the Wikipedia:WikiProject Jainism and some in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Hinduism. In my view, there are very few active users with rollback rights working on these WikiProjects. I would want to volunteer to be one because of the sheer abuse of pages in these WikiProjects. Several users push their POV on pages in these WikiProjects since they are related to religion. People are adamant on their POV being correct. Mutual rivalry is common on pages in these two projects. I have boldly reverted edits that were clearly vandalism and those that pushed a POV and deleted the other, more-sourced POV on pages like Manatunga, Sivabhuti, Jain temples, Pavagadh, Hathigumpha inscription and some other smaller pages as well. I believe rollback rights would just make this job easier for me because on some pages, I have had to manually remove the content that vandalized the page. Rollback rights would just help me do it faster. RJShashwat (talk) 02:20, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done You don't need rollback to undo inappropriate edits. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 00:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

I hereby tender my application for the distinguished role of Rollbacker, having accomplished a notable volume of contributions exceeding 500 edits and consistently demonstrated a steadfast commitment to maintaining the highest standards of content quality through the diligent reversion of vandalized pages. I am confident that my expertise and unwavering dedication render me an exemplary candidate for this position, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to further serve the community in this capacity. 2RDD (talk) 10:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

In your own words, would you please explain what vandalism is? Using that explanation, please evaluate whether the following edits are vandalism, and provide an explanation as to why or why not:

Hi, I've been at en wiki since May 2006 with 30,000 edits, around 59 pages created, and around 500 articles on my watchlist. I have used undo until now and most often leave notices on user talk pages, but I could do with rollback where there have been multiple edits by the same user, so that I can more easily and quickly provide an edit summary. Thanks. Esowteric + Talk + Breadcrumbs 18:31, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I requested Rollback several months ago and my request was was turned down because I didn't have enough anti-vandalism in my recent editing history. I haven't been very consistently active for personal and family reasons so I don't remember the exact course of events after that. After I was turned down I tried filtering the recent changes feed based on suggestions I saw here. This is the latest example of why that hasn't been working for me:

[1]

The vandalism was done in multiple edits and part of it survived my revert [2].

I had figured out a way to warn users after my previous request was turned down but after a few months away I don't remember how I was doing it. I wasn't able to find a way to easily warn the user whose username is not clickable the way it usually is when edits are reverted.

I am not planning to use rollback for anything other than reverting vandalism. Is this process really necessary to get the Rollback privilege? Ben Azura (talk) 13:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
