- It has been nearly a month since my last request, and I would like to request this right again. I would use the right to help fight off the long-term abusers that attack this wiki, and just also to combat the ordinary vandals. I understand that I may not be considered trustworthy due to my socking on enwiki, but I promise that I will be trustworthy with this right. I understand that if I abuse this right, it will be removed. I promise to only use this right in cases of clear vandalism; I will use Twinkle for everything else.

- Considering SithJarJar's history on enwiki, he faces a mountain to climb to earn trust with this community. His conduct on that wiki was problematic. However, this user's conduct on our project has been reliable, dependable, trustworthy, and they have so far kept their promise to be an upstanding member of the community. I feel that the correct option for the community in this case is to help them climb that mountain. I'm not awarding this user right as I'd like for other sysops to share their thoughts. That being said, I'll support this user's request for rollback and monitor their use of it, should it be awarded. Operator873talkconnect 18:40, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support per Operator 873. This is what we want people who've had socking issues to do. Darkfrog24 (talk) 18:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- @SithJarJar666: Question. Looking through your last 5 undo, which of them would you have used rollback for? And, do you intend to use a script that would allow adding a custom summary? The edits I'm asking about are #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 19:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- @DannyS712: Well, #1 and #2 might have needed an explanation, as it is not obvious vandalism. #5 was one of my own edits; I would not have rolled back that, as it may have needed an explanation. #3 was an LTA known as The Suix; definitely rollback. #4 may have been rollbackable, but I can always use Twinkle if I am not sure. Regards, --sithjarjar666 (my contribs | talk to me | email me | see my enwiki profile) 19:44, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- So you would have only used it for #4? --DannyS712 (talk) 19:46, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- @DannyS712: Yes. If I am unsure about an edit, I will use Twinkle and an edit summary. I will only use rollback for LTAs and obvious vandalism. --sithjarjar666 (my contribs | talk to me | email me | see my enwiki profile) 19:49, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

- Okay, I'm inclined to grant the rights temporarily and see how it goes. Leaving open for other admins' comments for a bit --DannyS712 (talk) 02:35, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
Partly done Given the lack of objection (and sorry about forget about this) I've granted the rights for 3 months. Please come back and re-request when they expire, and I or another admin will likely grant the rights permanently --DannyS712 (talk) 06:27, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
- @DannyS712: Thank you! I promise to use the rights only within policy. --sithjarjar666 (my contribs | talk to me | see my enwiki profile) 16:10, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

I understand I've only been contributing for a few months. Throughout this time, I've learned to live in the New changes hub where I have a real-time birds-eye view of any potential vandalism. I remember one of my first actions in this project was to message Peterdownunder and report vandalism in the project. Throughout this time, I've learned how to use Twinkle (hat tip to thegooduser for the heads up about it!) through which I've helped fought over 100+ obvious spammy articles with a little over 90% accuracy. I'm also pretty active in RfD through which I've gotten a better sense of differences between spam and legitimate ones. Throughout all of these, there are instances when the Rollback feature is very handy (i.e. several obvious vandals [1] by this IP on Pitbull's page, [2] Be able to do multiple edits like Chenzbot did here, and in similar situations when it may miss it. I also make a habit to leave accurate warnings in the offending account/IP's talk pages, before I put in the ANI. I always strive to AGF, provide sufficient warnings. As a result, it sometimes leads some to a realisation that what they do is not acceptable. I also help remove spammy content as well as detailed feedback to talk pages to help new editors before I give them the relevant template warnings. I understand we've all been newbies at one point, and that if someone just try to explain things to us, many end up growing into valuable and helpful contributors.
I do understand that this should only be used for obvious spams and vandalism and that it's a privilege (not a right). Therefore, it can be removed at any point should there be apparent abuse or misuse. I also understand that I may be prone to mistakes from time to time, and I don't mind to be told off. What is done to correct mistakes and make sure they don't occur again is very important. Hope to be of service in helping improve the articles in the community, and keep the vandals at bay! — Infogapp1 (talk) 15:48, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
