Result: ? Passed Edit #3 was part of a mass-edit based on a good-faith misunderstanding. Generally, rollback should not be used on good-faith edits, especially if there has yet to be any talk page contact. However, users doing mass edits are unlikely to see edit summaries of the undoing of their edits, which would make rollback the more useful action. Given that this situation is very much on the fence, and the user's other two examples are good (though #2 can see the fence), this request is passed.

2 is good. 3 is alright. But I don't like 1. Would you like to argue your case? Toomai Glittershine The Undirigible 19:34, 2 February 2013 (EST)

Now that I think about it, 1 is not that good, but will I still be promoted to Rollback if one of them is wrong? Terrible is a Valentine 20:32, 2 February 2013 (EST)

I'd like to voice my opinion. While 1 seems in good faith, it is a case of an obviously wrong edit that shouldn't require an edit summary to undo, so while Rollback is probably not the best course of action, it's reasonable in this case. DoctorPain99 20:34, 2 February 2013 (EST)

If all three examples would be correct uses of rollback, then the RfR will pass

I'm assuming you have to get them all good reverts. Dots The Penguin 20:36, 2 February 2013 (EST)

You can still get rollback if you have 2/3. I'll think about this and decide in a day or two. Toomai Glittershine The Non-Toxic 22:20, 2 February 2013 (EST)

Result: ? Passed #1 is debatable, but the other two show understanding of the tool. Toomai Glittershine The Chilled 10:40, 5 February 2013 (EST)

DarkFox01

#1: Not even Shwido can do this

#2: The IP violated 1RV later

#3: Plain ridiculous

(contributions) DarkFox01A NEW RECORD! 15:47, 1 April 2013 (EDT)

Result: ? Passed #2 is the most debatable since it would be best to leave an edit summary for why controversial stuff shouldn't be deleted (the first time). #3 is okay assuming it's not April Fools' every day of the year. Toomai Glittershine The Hammer 16:01, 2 April 2013 (EDT)

I'm not going to just close this as failed, but can you provide some other examples. FIrst, these are three of the same edit. Second, I would not recommend rollback in this situation as you can't use edit summary and that would be the best tool for letting us know about Mr. Curious. So, I'd like to give you a chance to link to some other edits that demonstrate where/how you would use rollback. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 07:15, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

I realized that they may not be different reverts, but I do know the difference between correct uses and incorrect uses of rollback. Unfortunately though, these are the only reverts I have so far ever since I joined SmashWiki in which rollback would be necessary, so you can just close this as failed, or you can check my contributions to see if I have any more reverts in which rollback would be necessary. Avengingbandit 07:25, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

OK, I don't remember reverting any more vandalism or spam other than this, so for now, I withdraw. Avengingbandit 16:28, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

Sounds good for now. I'll waive the one month waiting period if you do revert some stuff in the next few weeks, fair? Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 16:34, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

All right then. I'll try my best to look out for vandalism. Avengingbandit 16:42, 24 May 2012 (EDT)

OK, here's some other reverts: #4 and #5. Avengingbandit 17:06, 31 May 2012 (EDT)

And the final one is here [4]--Bandit 02:17, 22 June 2012 (EDT)

Four and six are fine, but delete tags shouldn't be removed without discussion (unless they themselves are vandalism). Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 10:43, 22 June 2012 (EDT)

Motion to suspend this RfR until further notice on the grounds that Bandit wants it far too much, and would make an otherwise poor Rollback'r. He is clearly not looking for Rollback to help him help the wiki, and is instead just fishing for power (suspicions are supported by frequent requests for voice and op on #sw). Also, the edits he describes as "reverting vandalism" above make me think he would use Rollback poorly were he given it. PenguinofDeath 10:55, 22 June 2012 (EDT)

Since this has been up for over 3 months. What are we going to do with this request? Dots Ready for School 19:30, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

Result: Failed All three reverts are the same thing basically, and user has said on IRC he doesn't much care right now. Toomai Glittershine The Honcho 21:03, 27 August 2012 (EDT)
