==Rules==
==Rules==
*Only self-nominations are allowed.
*Only self-nominations are allowed.
*All new nominees should post their name below as a in a level 3 header (<nowiki>===Username===</nowiki>). Underneath, the user should state why he/she would like to be granted Rollback powers.
*All new nominees should copy and paste the following block of text onto the end of this page:
*Users who wish to support, oppose, or comment on the nomination may do so underneath the person requesting Rollback powers.
<pre><nowiki>
*After sufficient time has passed to allow all users who wish to express an opinion the chance to do so, a decision will be made based on community consensus as to whether or not the request will succeed. Once a decision has been made, the discussion will be archived and moved to an appropriate subpage.
===YourUsername===
*[link1 #1]
*[link2 #2]
*[link3 #3]
([[Special:Contributions/YourUsername|contributions]]) ~~~~
</nowiki></pre>
*Then, edit the template as follows:
**Replace "YourUsername" with your username.
**Replace "link1", "link2", and "link3" with links to three of your edits that you believe could have been uses of rollback. Avoid using multiple edits that are related, for example three reverts of a single vandal within an hour. If you do not know how to link your edits here, see the below section.
**Applications which do not follow this format may be cancelled by an admin or bureaucrat. The user in question may immediately apply again. A third incorrect application will result in you not being allowed to apply for a month.
*A bureaucrat will determine whether the edits you provided show understanding of the usage of rollback.
**If all three examples would be correct uses of rollback, then the RfR will pass (barring some extenuating circumstance).
**If all three examples would be bad/incorrect uses of rollback, the RfR will fail. The bureaucrat may then explain why the edits were not proper uses of rollback, though this is not required.
**Otherwise, the bureaucrat may open minor discussion; maybe one example is unclear as to whether rollback is appropriate, and the user would be able to argue his/her case. Other users are allowed to voice their opinion. Discussion is to be kept to a minumum. This step is not required; a bureaucrat may pass or fail an RfR without needing discussion of incorrect rollback uses.
*No other users may comment unless the RfR has been opened for discussion.
*If your RfR fails, you may not make another one for a month (i.e. if it fails on the 15th, you must wait until the 15th of the next month to try again).
*If your rollback privileges are revoked for whatever reason, barring some extenuating circumstance (e.g. discussion elsewhere that results in consensus that said revoking was unnecessary), you must also wait a month before you may re-apply.
*You may not use the same example edit in two different (uncancelled) RfRs.
 
==Linking to edits==
There are two ways to link to an edit:
#Go to your contributions (there is a link in the userbar at the top of the page, or go [[Special:MyContributions|here]]). For the edit you want to link to, click on the "diff" link. Then copy what's in the address bar.
#Go to a page's history. For the edit you want to link to, click on the "prev" link. Then copy what's in the address bar.
#*If you want to "select" multiple edits at once, you can use the options buttons to pick the range and then click the "Compare selected revisions" button.

==Current Requests==
===Kperfekt===
I'm Kperfekt. I usually spell check articles on here, or revert vandalism. Most of you will probably look at my edit count and be impressed until you realize the majority of those edits are to talk pages. I know I don't have the best track record, but since 2008 I've changed. I don't troll people, I don't disrespect them, and I have not stirred up trouble in a long time. I want rollback powers for two reasons. One, is obviously because I could revert vandalism or untrue but good faith edits quickly and without clogging the recent edits. But, the second reason, as non-related as it may be, is due to me feeling like I have to prove something. I don't want anyone here to think I'm the same jerk I once was. I want to show everyone that I can be trusted as an editor here, and that I can be trusted with even the slightest bit of power. I ask that I at least be given the powers to show I will not in any way, shape, or form abuse them. And I truly, truly apologize for the attitude I once had. Please, give me a second chance. At the bottom of this request I will add the other Wiki's I have started or that I administrate on, several of which are thriving. Thank you for your time.

#<s>'''Support''': $wgHasReverts = "true"; $wgHasRecentReverts = "false"; That said, I don't think that it matters much given that you show that you've got a good idea of what rollback is, and that, like BNK, you've changed your attitude. As a result, I think I'm ok with giving you the go-ahead here.

2. '''Oppose''' I was neutral but seeing the recent developments in the comments section, I'll have to oppose. Also, I barely see you on and it been 9 days since you made an edit to a mainspace article, a edit that was later reverted.

====Neutral====
#'''Neutral, leaning slightly to support''': I hadn't noticed that you were also referred to KP317, and so missed that little detail about your 3+ chances. After reading all the chances you've had, I don't know if this time has been long enough to get away from 7+ blocks and a bunch of requests tried. I can tell that you've changed, hence leaning to support, but I'm not sure that you've given enough time to this so as to make you've trusted.

#You're no longer a liability but you don't really edit. I don't see a compelling reason for you to have the tools, but I don't see a compelling reason to deny them to you. As a side note, despite my noted lack of faith in people, I do believe you've changed. I haven't talked to you really since our super long irc chat, goodness like nearly a year ago, but most people do a lot of growing up at about this time in their lives, if I am correct about your age and circumstances. We had something of a very neutral understanding back then methinks, but we also can't completely ignore your history. You had a natural talent for causing shitstorms, and while I don't see any way you can cause shitstorms with rollback, I'm still somewhat wary. [[User:Semicolon|Semicolon]] ([[User talk:Semicolon|talk]]) 05:09, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
#:'''Addendum: Neutral leaning towards opposed, for what it's worth.''' I'm starting to remember everything a bit clearer now. I'm also starting to think that even though you haven't been a liability, you haven't been a liability ''because'' you've not edited, not you've not been a liability ''but'' you haven't edited. Your attitude throughout the comments section is one of entitlement. You're not entitled to rollback, KP, anything but. Rollback isn't run on a +/- votes system. It's run on a 'okay, someone convince the bureaus you deserve these tools.' You're at an advantage typically because you get the first say and the say everyone reads. There could be 25+ supports but if all they say is 'Woop woop I love the sombrero give this guy rollback woop woop' and 1 person, an IP even, says 'Here are the following reasons why this user should not get rollback' and provides several examples of conduct that make us not think you are fit for rollback or that you have a place on this site with any sort of power, then you don't get rollback. TL;DR version: (1) you're not entitled to rollback so don't even vaguely act like it (2) this isn't a voting sytem. [[User:Semicolon|Semicolon]] ([[User talk:Semicolon|talk]]) 15:34, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
#+1 to everything semi has said.  Also, I will add two things.  First, Rollback should be something you get after you've proved that you are a better contributor, not something you should need to be a good contributor.  I don't think that's how you meant it, so I don't hold it against you.  Second, I want to call atention to something you said in (one of) you last requests:  "I'm requesting rollback rights...because its [sic] the first step toward being on the top of this Wiki."  I ''sincerely'' hope this is not why you are requesting rollback this time...  Basically, my stance is this:  I am not going to support your bid for rollback for the stated reasons and other history, but I will not stand in the way of a community decision to give you rollback.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 17:09, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

# I don't know what real say an IP address has on this issue, but I respond:
*I did not mean second chance as in rollback, I meant a second chance on this website.
*You don't even know me, so don't say you don't trust me.
*4 of those blocks were taken off, and I got an apology from the person who banned me.
As I said before, I know I don't have the best track record. I think rollback powers would be a good chance for me to show I've changed.

:Sorry, but requests aren't decided by a voting basis. Votes are just placed to give the admins knowledge of what the community says. [[Special:Contributions/98.111.95.78|98.111.95.78]] 19:43, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
::True, but 6 supports and 6 neutrals against 1 opposing vote gives KP some pretty good odds.  Also, you said that you don't "trust" KP.  This may not be the right place to ask this, but can you elaborate on this distrust?  '''[[User:Cheezperson|<span style="color:gold">Cheez</span><span style="color:red">person</span>]]''' {[[User talk:Cheezperson|<span style="color:steelblue">talk</span>]]}[[Special:Contributions/Cheezperson|<span style="color:silver">stuff</span>]]''' 20:36, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

:::If I may say so myself, that's not quite the case. We're also supposed to consider our opinion of the user in question. Trust in said user can be a factor in itself here; if you recall, it's what made me decide to change from support to neutral, since I'm really not sure anymore that I've seen a change in the KP of half a year ago, and the KP of now, so to say.

::::@KP.  1)  Not your call on this being closed.  2)  Taking a look at the supports, what I see is as follows:  2 users actually vouching that you would use the tools well, 2 basically saying you probably would use them well, and two others who haven't made a mainspace edit to this wiki in over a year who you most likely drummed up from some other corner of the internet to support you.  And 3) you say you've changed, and most of your edits support this statement, except these two gems:  [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Who%27s_not_going_to_make_it_to_the_next_SSB%3F&diff=prev&oldid=315292 here] and [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/index.php?title=SmashWiki:New_Logo_Proposal&diff=prev&oldid=311751 here].  I know more than a few websites where these alone would get you blocked.  So, no, I'm not ready to close this as I would hardly call the above a consensus nor do I have any personal belief that this is the right time.  (To everyone) Feel free to explain to me why this should be otherwise.  [[User:Clarinet Hawk|Clarinet Hawk]] <small>([[User talk:Clarinet Hawk|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Clarinet Hawk|contributions]])</small> 17:34, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

::::::As for those 2 outbursts, I meant the first one sarcastically. You I and I know, (Speaking to Clarinet Hawk) that SmoreKing, Semicolon, and I are are the same way when it comes to n00bs on here begging for MegaMan to become a character. Not an outburst, just some sarcasm. I don't see how the second one could get anyone banned for anything at all (and I'm quite serious), but that one was just me saying it's no big deal if the logo (which is still being debated on) gets changed? I didn't use vulgar language, and I may have snuck in some sarcasm, but hey, a lot of people around here do. Moving on to the IP address, I don't know who you are, and I would still like to know how much power a non-member of this community has on a subject like this. One of your reasons was "you don't trust me". You don't know me, so you can't say that. Finally, I could go through every passes rollback request and find numerous people who have either: 1: Rollback'd less then me, or B: Haven't rollback'd in ages. If any of this, at all, sounded snarky or rude, please, PLEASE tell me so I can stop saying anything that may aggravate you, instead of just going on saying it.

:::::::::::I saw the site in question. You explicitly said "C-Hawk, you're the biggest dick that ever came to this wiki". If you had said that here, you would have been permabanned. Of course that is a thing of the past, but you have not done anything to redeam yourself. BNK helped me fight off an army of vandals for like half an hour until the admins came. I dare you to beat that. If you do, I might change my trust. [[Special:Contributions/98.111.95.78|98.111.95.78]] 00:47, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::::Leave it in the past, this whole argument is about whether or not I've changed. I'm obviously not going to change your mind, so whatever. I'd like to get a few more votes on here.

:::::::::::::Right now I'm studying for a CAT test and only checking in here and on a few other sites. The only reason I'm here right now (or will be until the 8th) is to check up on recent events on this page. I assure you I will edit again on Saturday.

===Omega Tyrant ===
Hello, I am Michael Oliver, known around here as Omega Tyrant. I joined back on March 6, 2010, but I didn't start editing until April 11. Not fully knowing all the rules, I did get in a edit war when I first started editing. But I learned the rules quickly and resolved it civilly on the talk page. In less than a month, I've already made more than 350 edits, more than 200 of them being mainspace edits. My most notable contributions being the [[Forward Smash Chart]], [[Super Death Jump]], [[Elevator Slope glitch]], the expansion of the [[Momentum Canceling]] article, the revision of [[Ganondorf (SSBM)|Ganondorf's]] ''Melee'' article, and the cleanup/expansion of the [[Semi-Spike]] article. In this time, I have made many reverts as well, reverting any vandalism I came across. Only once so far have I come across an instance where I had to do more than a simple undo (when someone inserted their fanon into Samus's article than moved the location of it). But the fact of the matter is that a mass vandalism attack can occur at any time. I have irregular sleeping patterns and with the summer coming up, I should be up in the early morning hours to revert any such vandalism that may occur at this time. If I had rollback, I'll be able to do this job much easier. A link to my contributions can be found [[Special:Contributions/Omega Tyrant|here]] and my edit count can be found [[Special:Editcount/Omega Tyrant|here]]. I hope to continue working towards completing this Wiki and rollback will allow me to fight vandalism even more efficiently.

Policy.png This page documents an official SmashWiki policy, a widely accepted standard that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. If in doubt, consider discussing changes on the talk page.
Shortcut:
SW:RFR

This page is for requesting that one is granted rollback powers on SmashWiki.

Rules

  • Only self-nominations are allowed.
  • All new nominees should copy and paste the following block of text onto the end of this page:
===YourUsername===
*[link1 #1]
*[link2 #2]
*[link3 #3]
([[Special:Contributions/YourUsername|contributions]]) ~~~~
  • Then, edit the template as follows:
    • Replace "YourUsername" with your username.
    • Replace "link1", "link2", and "link3" with links to three of your edits that you believe could have been uses of rollback. Avoid using multiple edits that are related, for example three reverts of a single vandal within an hour. If you do not know how to link your edits here, see the below section.
    • Applications which do not follow this format may be cancelled by an admin or bureaucrat. The user in question may immediately apply again. A third incorrect application will result in you not being allowed to apply for a month.
  • A bureaucrat will determine whether the edits you provided show understanding of the usage of rollback.
    • If all three examples would be correct uses of rollback, then the RfR will pass (barring some extenuating circumstance).
    • If all three examples would be bad/incorrect uses of rollback, the RfR will fail. The bureaucrat may then explain why the edits were not proper uses of rollback, though this is not required.
    • Otherwise, the bureaucrat may open minor discussion; maybe one example is unclear as to whether rollback is appropriate, and the user would be able to argue his/her case. Other users are allowed to voice their opinion. Discussion is to be kept to a minumum. This step is not required; a bureaucrat may pass or fail an RfR without needing discussion of incorrect rollback uses.
  • No other users may comment unless the RfR has been opened for discussion.
  • If your RfR fails, you may not make another one for a month (i.e. if it fails on the 15th, you must wait until the 15th of the next month to try again).
  • If your rollback privileges are revoked for whatever reason, barring some extenuating circumstance (e.g. discussion elsewhere that results in consensus that said revoking was unnecessary), you must also wait a month before you may re-apply.
  • You may not use the same example edit in two different (uncancelled) RfRs.

Linking to edits

There are two ways to link to an edit:

  1. Go to your contributions (there is a link in the userbar at the top of the page, or go here). For the edit you want to link to, click on the "diff" link. Then copy what's in the address bar.
  2. Go to a page's history. For the edit you want to link to, click on the "prev" link. Then copy what's in the address bar.
    • If you want to "select" multiple edits at once, you can use the options buttons to pick the range and then click the "Compare selected revisions" button.

Archives

For archives from the previous RfR format, see this page.
