Requests for global rollback permissions

Please be sure to follow the instructions below: Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability. Please also review the Global rollback policy. Instructions for making a request Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag To make a request Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable. === Global rollback for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} === {{sr-request |status = <!-- don't change this line --> |domain = global <!-- don't change this line --> |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user --> }} ::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC'' The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions , no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Global rollback for Katarighe

The following request is closed: not done. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

Status:    Not done

• Global user: Katarighe (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I would like to use this tool because, I combat vandalism across all Wikimedia wiki's. Sometimes, its hard to find a vandalism on other lauguages, mostly on enwiki and simplewiki and also i'm a trustful user and im not abusive to others.

• Oppose: you have too little crosswiki experience, in my opinion, and it feels to me like you're just collecting hats. Please gain more experience and perhaps - after a while - request this flag when you really need it. Kind regards, Mathonius 22:27, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
• Comment I couldn't see heavy use of revert on many wikis in your cross-wiki edits. You can monitor many small wikis through #cvn-sw^connect. Finding vandalism is not hard when you know the pattern of those edits (page blanking, insertion of nonsense or gibberish into pages, removal of interwikis or categories etc.) and you use machine translation for the languages you don't speak. Good luck! Striker ^talk 22:30, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
•  strong no! Sorry, but I don't recognize you from simplewiki at all and it's my home wiki. On top of that, your xwiki contribs do not meet my criteria for support. Frankly, you should just withdraw this request, you'll not get any supports, imho. fr33kman 22:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose, not enough xwiki experience. Ajraddatz (Talk) 23:07, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
• I did a mistake, please close this as a user request. Thanks --Mohamed Aden Ighe 23:24, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Global rollback for User:Ezarate

Status:    In progress

• Global user: Ezarate (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I am sysop on eswiki and commonswiki, I was rollbacker so long time ago and now I'd like combatting vandalism crosswiki and this tool may revert the edits quickly. Regards!!!--Esteban 22:49, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

• support, no big deal. —DerHexer (Talk) 22:51, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
• Support, trusted user. Even if he doesn't have 1,000,000 global reverts he will obviously use the tools well. Ajraddatz (Talk) 22:52, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
•  Support--Vituzzu 22:57, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
• Support, why not? - Hoo man (talk) 23:11, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
•  Support — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 00:51, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
• Support, good idea to help in cross-wiki stuff ;-) -- Quentinv57 ^(talk) 05:06, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
• Weak oppose. Maybe I am the only one, but I don't see this user as "active in cross-wiki countervandalism" and he doesn't "make heavy use of revert on many wikis" after checking cross-wiki edits. Outside of major and Spanish wikis, I see some interwiki fixing, edits on userpage or related with his bot, but very few antivandalism-related edits. Per policy, some evidence of this activity should be provided on this request. Being trusted (as he is for sure) is not enough to have this tool; some experience on foreign wikis is definitely a requirement.” T_ele^s (T _{@ L C S}) 05:41, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
• Oppose Per Teles. --WizardOfOz ^talk 05:58, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

I SEE THIS MESSAGE This miscellaneous page is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Please discuss the matter at this page's entry on the Miscellany for Deletion page. You are welcome to edit this page, but please do not blank, merge, or move it, or remove this notice, while the discussion is in progress. For more information, see the Guide to Deletion. Maintenance use only: Place either Template:Mfd or Template:Mfdx on the page nominated for deletion. Then subst {{subst:mfd2|pg=User:Caiyad|text=...}} to create the discussion subpage. Finally, subst {{subst:mfd3|pg=User:Caiyad}} into the MfD log. Please consider notifying the author(s) by placing {{subst:MFDWarning|User:Caiyad}} Caiyad 09:57, 1 October 2011 (UTC) on their talk page(s).

Comment: You are probably referring to "w:en:Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Caiyad", correct? If so, your account is not blocked and there is nothing that can be done here; you need to discuss this matter on English Wikipedia, where the deletion was proposed. Somebody proposed "Caiyad Phahad" to deletion for considering that page is out of scope for Wikipedia. Others will read that page and place there their opinions. The only thing you can do is comment on that page, with the reasons to keep according to deletion policy. If my comment has nothing to do with your request, just ignore what I said. Regards.” T_ele^s (T _{@ L C S}) 17:55, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Not done -- seems to be a misunderstanding about what IP block exemption is for. Jafeluv 23:21, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
