Rollback Rights

Hi Stalwart,

How can I get rollback rights? The reason I am asking is there have been many times where I had to manually "copy and paste" in order to undo vandalism. I assume rollback will just be a 1 click to revert to any past revision? That would be very helpful to me.

A second question would be why is that even a special feature? I think it sounds like something all confirmed users should have. Tyros1972 Talk 11:24, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

All sorted on your talk page. Stalwart111 09:31, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Thomas

Hello! Thomas editor here. I believe that I added a "citation needed" tag, and would like to know what was disruptive about it. I'm not going to revert it, because I don't want to cause any harm. I used to have an official account, and have been editing Misplaced Pages for a while (only minor changes, though mostly). I wouldn't do anything intentionally disruptive. If you could tell me what was wrong with my edit, I would be relieved. Thank you! 71.162.191.208 (talk) 02:27, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I think Stalwart111‎ did that because a "citation needed" is when there is no reliable source in the article. In this case concerning "St. Thomas was killed in India in 72 AD, attaining martyrdom at St. Thomas Mount near Mylapore (part of Chennai, capital of Tamil Nadu)." if you had checked the list of references you would have found several reliable sources to that, as this is not unique to wiki or that article but from historical records. Please have a look at Misplaced Pages:Citation needed concerning when to use the citation needed tags. Tyros1972 Talk 02:44, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Bravo! I think Tyros1972 has explained my rationale quite well, but I have added some extra notes to your talk page as well. Stalwart111 02:55, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

• Oh, okay..I actually hadn't yet looked at the page's history/talk page yet. My mistake. I just think that it has a certain Catholic bias to it, with the "Traditon based on Sacred Scripture" part, cited by a Bible verse. But since there's "warring" going on, I don't think I want to exacerbate the situation more. I'll just quietly watch. Thank you very much!! 71.162.191.208 (talk) 23:27, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The protestant movement only goes back a short time, thus the records they would use is the Bible it's self. Don't forget the Catholic Church goes back to Jesus' time and we kept records all these years. We also honor the Saints, where the protestants don't. I don't edit the article due to a conflict of interest WP:CONFLICT as I would be bias and get into debates, so I stay away and just monitor vandalism on those pages so it is better sometimes to stay out of it.

St. Andrew's Church, Antwerp

Could use your help on this one mate. I want to save this article but there is now a madbot dupe warning, how do we address this? St. Andrew's Church, Antwerp Tyros1972 Talk 19:08, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Like this - ha ha. It's obviously notable so the only solution is to basically start from scratch, which is what I've done. I'll keep working on it. Fits right into my list of interests, so thanks for drawing my attention to it! Cheers, Stalwart111 09:35, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Perfect! Thanks mate :) Tyros1972 Talk 20:27, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Dragon Factory AfD

Hi, Stalwart. I was looking through today's crop of AfDs and I noticed your contribution at the AfD for The Dragon Factory, which is rather confusing. It would probably help if you struck the rationale for your original delete !vote, as well as the delete itself. Dricherby (talk) 16:39, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh yes, very confusing! Have struck the whole thing. Great advice - thanks! Stalwart111 22:32, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

SkateSlate article deletion

Hi Stalwart111, I was pretty frustrated to see your quick deletion on SkateSlate with no effort to recognize the merit of the article. I would appreciate some conversation as to how SkateSlate can have an article on Misplaced Pages. Regards. Tacutting (talk) 05:46, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

To be clear; I'm not an admin and I didn't delete it - I was just one of a number of people who supported its deletion at AFD. But I have responded on your talk page anyway. Stalwart111 07:13, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

ANI

Hello Stalwart. I see the following statement from you on the current ANI: "By taking a step back he has acknowledged he has done wrong. Even if he hasn't, we have collectively agreed to interpret his actions that way and he hasn't sought to "correct" that."

This surprised and disappointed me. Is your model guilty unless proven innocent? I have avoided comment in these many noticeboard proceedings where such comment would have been unnecessary and in my judgment would have caused further animosity and contention to no productive end. My model is similar to a US court of law, where the accused may speak if in his judgment it is necessary, but where there is no prejudice attributed to silence.

I understand that in context you intended your statement to allay the concern of editor Abel, but nevertheless I feel that it was undue. Moreover it seems that it may have emboldened her in a way you may not have intended. The consensus to which I presume you refer is primarily among three involved editors, carolmooredc, abel, and srich. Because you seemed to be saying that my silence is an admission of guilt, I am writing here to see whether you wish to soften that comment. Otherwise, I will feel, regretfully, that it's necessary to post further in my "defense" at the ANI -- which I think you agree is basically a pointless exercise. Your thoughts? Thanks.
