Request 3: Galacticdominator

It has been almost one month since my first request. I now have over 2000 edits and would be eligible for a RfA if I had the "Rollback rights for a month" requirement. This time I will make sure not to delete wiki code unless I am absolutly sure it shouldn't be there. Please give me another chance. I know why I lost them in the first place and will be sure not to do it again. ~ ~ ~ ~ 21:09, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Support - After having several conversations with this User about Rollback Rights, its proper use, and his situation; I feel what he did was completely accidental and could have happened to anyone. I'm positive he has learned his lesson, and will be more careful next time. Colonel DA, Halopedian Administrator 13:07, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose Your offense last time was not deleting wiki code. It was reverting a ton of legitimate edits. Go undo more vandalism. Next time you apply, you will paste some instances of vandalism you reverted. This will show us all that you know exactly what this is used for. Smoke^{Sound off!} 05:21, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

By wiki code I meant template coding such as the {{Ratings}} template. And those "tons of edits" were all exactly the same done to tons of disambig pages and, as discussed before, I thought they were vandilism and I thought the individual who had done that was the individual who Subtank had banned not forty five minuets before I made the rollbacks. I will do my research next time so the next "ton" of edits that I revert will not be legitimate. ~ ~ ~ ~ 12:54, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

As for my anti vandal work a quick look over at my original request would show you the reason I want Rollback rights and what I want to do with them. I would also like to be experianced in using rollback rights before Halo:Reach comes out, to help deal with the normally huge crowd of vandals that usualy follow soon after a new game is released. ~ ~ ~ ~ 15:42, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

I don't want to know the reason you want them, nor what you want to do with them - I want physical proof you know exactly what this is used for so we all know you won't make the same mistake. Read my message. I told you to post some anti-vandal work (meaning, recent work - e.g. reverts since you've lost RR the first time). In a word, go re-qualify for it. Vandals are everywhere; shouldn't take much. Smoke^{Sound off!} 16:06, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

I have sent almost every active administrator messages about vandals but only one or two. I usualy am not fast enough conection wise to catch them first. I know what Rollback righs are for. They are for reverting vandalism and vandalism only, not bad edits thats what the undo button is for. Unlike undo rollback immeadiatly reverts an edit without giving the option to expain why it was reverted in a summary. That is why users using the undo button sould add a summary, So a simmple bad edit will not be considered vandalism. ~ ~ ~ ~ 16:24, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral - I am just honestly not sure if he could be trusted with it again. Galaticdominator, no offense, but you seem to be very jumpy and in some instances needlessly hypo. If I can see a change in this, then my vote will also change. ~Now You Know, ~ That Flattery Will Get You Nowhere.~ 05:15, November 7, 2009 (UTC)Blade bane

How can I seem jumpy? all of my imput is textual. Are you refering to my grammer? Also, no offence, but isn't voting on this page restricted to admins? ~ ~ ~ ~ 12:56, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral:I have no idea...two things of you: Reverting a ton of legitimate edits vs. a seemingly good editor. I can't decide if you deserve them or not.--Shade 16:00, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

That was an accident. He had a simmilar name to someone who had just been banned for abusing the point system and I saw his edits as Point W---ing. I stoped reverting his edits as soon as I was notified that they were legit and apologized imeadiatly. unfortunently I had to get off before I could undo my reverts. ~ ~ ~ ~ 16:17, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral - You're a good guy, GD...but that does damage your chances of getting Rollback. -- General5 7 ^Gobble? 16:02, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment ~ ~ ~ ~ 16:17, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I honestly don't think you deserve Rollback Rights, as some of your edits confuse me. Take this reversion of a person adding a link as an example. There you say that too many links make pages look messy, whereas here you are putting in a link of your own. To me, randomly adding links on pages falls under point-whoring. So why should a point-whore be given RR, let alone a hypocrite? --T 3 2 8 File:Bouncy Wiki Logo.gif 16:41, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
