User:Win8x

I have been monitoring Recent Changes for around a month now and would like to use Huggle to help me do it, but this requires rollback. I just want to admit it here: at the start I did not always warn users but I do warn all the time now. Either way, thank you! win8x (talking | spying) 01:23, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for confirming. Could you please now go do some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users? -Fastily 03:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, but that's what I was already doing. My last like... 200/300 edits are all warned. But sure, I will continue to do so. Thanks! win8x (talking | spying) 04:12, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see reverts from just a few days ago in which you failed to notify the editor (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Like I said, please now go do some RC patrol in which you demonstrate how you will be notifying all users. A few dozen reverts would be ideal. Confirm below once you've done this and I will re-review. Thanks, Fastily 04:54, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done! Just to clarify, is a welcome message such as Template:Welcome-delete an acceptable alternative to Template:Uw-delete1, for example (if it's a new user)? Thanks. win8x (talking | spying) 23:05, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that's fine. I did see you failed to notify an editor after making this revert today. Why? -Fastily 00:04, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted myself back immediately after. I thought about it, and thought that the edit the user made was actually valid, just with formatting mistakes. So after reverting them, I reverted myself, and then fixed the formatting error. win8x (talking | spying) 00:10, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, thanks for the clarification.  Done -Fastily 23:21, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been patrolling recent changes since late June and believe access to more advanced tools like Huggle would enhance my anti-vandalism work. I understand the importance of warning users after every revert and believe I have been consistent in doing so. Thanks for your consideration. Wburrow (talk) 17:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make, particularly if the edit was made in good faith. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 22:24, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the edits you picked, I explained the reasoning for the revert in my edit summary instead of using a warning template on their Talk page because I felt that approach would come across as friendlier/less hostile. My understanding was that reverting required either a talk page warning or an explanatory edit summary, but it seems that understanding was mistaken, and I can commit to leaving a talk page notification for all future reverts. Wburrow (talk) 04:25, 6 August 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 00:04, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I absolutely understand and agree with the importance of not biting the newcomers and promise to leave a notification or warning for every single revert. Wburrow (talk) 13:58, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for confirming,  Done -Fastily 23:21, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm Rohit Shaw27 and I'm here to request for rollbackers right because I believe to myself I'm eligible for these privileges and I understand privileges releated polices how it work on here and I'm also play my part as a rollbackers on other Wikipedia projects. Now I also like to work here. Thanks रोहितTalk_with_me 11:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done You were brought to ANI in March 2024 for making too many mistakes while doing RC patrol. You then took a 5 month break, only resuming editing within the past week. Please spend a few months establishing a track record of constructive contributions before requesting advanced permissions. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 20:00, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:PerspicazHistorian

I have expertise in South Asian social groups. Due to past disruption in this topic area, I will make sure to make Wikipedia a better source of verified facts. Thank You! PerspicazHistorian (talk) 15:26, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. 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 20:00, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
