Global rollback for Morphypnos[edit]

Good day,

I am Morphypnos and would like to request for Global Rollback. Here I sometimes translate ; on wikis, I am administrator of a small wiki, fr.wikiquote, local rollback, on fr.wiktionary, and reviewer on fr.wikinews and, to me, each office is a rewarding experience against the vandalism. I need global rollback tools in order to more efficiently revert vandalism, nosense and spam edits. Moreover, I am an active member of SWMT and often on #cvn-sw.

Thank you. Mɔʁfipnɔs (talk) 15:48, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Question Question: On sulutil:Morphypnos I find quite a lot unattached accounts. Are they yours? If so, are they the result of a bug? Or were they created by someone else? Is it possible to get them attached to your SUL maybe? GR won't be assigned to those unattached accounts, but nevertheless I think it's save to get this solved. Trijnsteltalk 19:22, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
I effectively haven't attached their accounts. I think that it's possible to attach them but I don't want it. However, if I change my opinion being GR, will I can attach them?--Mɔʁfipnɔs (talk) 21:30, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Please visit Special:Mergeaccount to see if that's possible (you need to know their password or the mail address must be the same, afaik). --MF-W 21:32, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Global rollback for Techman224[edit]

It's been a while since I applied for global rollback, but I think it's about time. I'm currently active in #cvn-swconnect, reverting using undo or using a previous version and marking pages for deletion. I been doing this for a number of years now, and I think I'm more than ready the handle rollback globally. I'm an administrator on Wikidata and Commons, and a rollbacker on the English Wikipedia. Thanks. Techman224Talk 04:06, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Oppose Regretful oppose - for much of the same reasons others were opposing your steward election: lack of sufficient cross-wiki experience. Keep up the SWMT work for at least another seven months or so and you probably will escape all these problems.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:08, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
    • I have been reverting since 2009, see my cross wiki contributions. Techman224Talk 04:19, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Support Weak support per Jasper. Support Support Activity levels should be okay. But please become more active though. I wish you good luck! Jianhui67 talkcontribs 04:27, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Support Support I'm OK with this. Techman has been active recently, and can be trusted with the rollback bit. Ajraddatz (Talk) 04:32, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Support Support No big deal, and trusted. So my answer is yes. — TBloemink talk 17:14, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Per policy, you need to be "demonstrably active in cross-wiki countervandalism or anti-spam activities […] and make heavy use of revert on many wikis" before applying for this global permission and from what I have seen in your luxo your activity in the SWMT has been very volatile (activity in 2009, then nothing for years, activity at the beginning of 2012, then again nothing and now low activity since December). For example this year, you have only performed 21 reverts outside of wikis where you already have a local rollback permission assigned, which doesn't demonstrate a "heavy use of revert on many wikis" as required by the policy, in my opinion. Vogone talk 19:46, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
  • &  with regret, as this is clearly a capable vandalfighter we're talking about. However the policy requires "make heavy use of revert on many wikis" which I do not believe is currently fulfilled by Techman. I looked thru luxo and found a lot of reverts, but few that weren't either this month or before spring 2013. I examined Techman's contributions on all wikis where he's been active this year, and found significant revert activity, but localized to a couple of days in february and january, and I do not think that it raises to the level of "heavy reverts". I think a user who desires the global rollbacker flag should show significant levels of activity for more than a few days in the past year. I would happily welcome a request later down the line after the user is consistently active in global countervandalism. Snowolf How can I help? 19:55, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
