Requesting access to block, delete, rollback for vandalism/spam control and prevention.
Oppose Not that active; is there really a need for it? Leaderboard (talk) 05:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- @DSquirrelGM: could you comment on this revert? How is this "vandalism"? Masumrezarock100 (talk) 20:12, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- broke the section header and looked like someone just inserting something at random. Didn't look like it was meant to be adding to the docummentation in a meaningful way. DSquirrelGM𝓣𝓟𝓒 22:47, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
- No, it wasn't "vandalism". Please read w:en:Wikipedia:Vandalism#What_is_not_vandalism. It seems they were trying to insert a bold text, which apparently broke the wikitext syntax. The test edit was certainly not helpful. The IP in question hasn't made any edits after your reverted their edits. Your revert was appropriate.
But I am not so sure in your ability to distinguish between good faith edits and bad faith ones.Masumrezarock100 (talk) 02:33, 28 February 2020 (UTC)- That is one case where I wouldn't have issued a block since it MIGHT have been just a mistake. DSquirrelGM𝓣𝓟𝓒 05:02, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
- Hmm. Your other reverts and deletion for nomination looks good. But I am worried about your activity. As pointed by Leaderboard in your previous RFA and this one, you don't seem to be much active in this wiki (e.g. lack of/very few edits last year and this year). You resumed activity at the end of the last year after almost 10 months break. You have been active in last three months, but I don't see any recent report of vandals/spammers to Project:Current issues by you. I am unsure how will you use these tools/why you need them for.

Not done. Does not have the requisite understanding or need for the tools and no one has supported them otherwise in over 3 weeks.--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:58, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
