I was going to wait for a bit longer before applying for rollback but considering the recent spate of obvious vandalism e.g. this I thought I'd bring it forward. I understand the rollback policy and my contributions, IMHO, show the ability to distinguish good and bad faith edits. It would also be helpful in situations like this, this and this where concurrent edits are vandalism in that I could revert them with one click instead of selecting the last good revision.

  • I am not going to outright reject this as maybe other admins don't have the same concerns as myself. But you have only been here a very short time, its not that you aren't doing decent work, but in total you have less than 150 edits here so its hard to make a judgement call. I suggest you keep doing what you are doing, use undo to to revert vandalism for now and we can revisit this a bit once you have been here a bit longer. That being said if another admin disagrees that is cool too. -DJSasso (talk) 13:15, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was thinking the same thing. This Wikipedia does some things differently, and some users have mistakenly reverted them as vandalism. (I keep a list of the ones I've seen trip people up here.) Keep up your good work, though, and I'm sure you can get this right later. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:59, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure, in which case I'll withdraw and re-apply a bit later. Thanks for the advice. StraussInTheHouse (talk) 21:26, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the realively short amount of time that I’ve been here, I’ve engaged myself heavily in anti-vandalism work. I’ve already made close to 600 total edits in all namespaces (including deleted edits to pages that I flagged for deletion) because of this. While I can already revert vandalism with ease using Twinkle’s rollback feature, sometimes this can be slow for vandal edits that added a crap ton of bytes to a page, since it still has a delay before finishing reverting, and restore revision /standard rollback require a confirmation. I therefore think that MediaWiki rollback will only further me in my vandal fighting work, since it also enables access to tools like Huggle and Stiki, I believe. —Glendales 19:31, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Not done You recently were in a near edit war when you twice reverted the addition of an image with a caption, when there was actually no problem with either. You've been active here only about a week and have gotten several warnings and requests to stop things you were doing. I'd need a longer and better track record before granting you any rights. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:43, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would have responded the same. -DJSasso (talk) 19:46, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
