+rollback

Hi Vertyy,

after thanking you for many well-written AIV reports, I've had a closer look and added your account to the rollback group. The following points are important about rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Users should be informed (or warned) after their edits have been reverted. If warnings repeatedly don't help, WP:ANI is the default place to go. In cases of very clear ongoing intentional damage to the encyclopedia, WP:AIV can be used.
• Reverting someone's edits may confuse or upset them. Whenever other users message you on your talk page, please take the time to respond to their concerns; accountability is important. For most users who message you, the tone and quality of your answer will permanently influence their opinion about Wikipedia in general.
• Because the plain default rollback link does not provide any explanatory edit summary, it must not be used to revert good faith contributions, even if these contributions are disruptive. Take the time to write a proper summary whenever you're dealing with a lack of neutrality or verifiability; a short explanation like "[[WP:NPOV|not neutral]]" or "[[WP:INTREF|Please provide a citation]]" is helpful.
• Rollback may never be used to edit war, which you'll notice to be surprisingly tempting in genuine content disputes. Please especially keep the three-revert rule in mind. If you see others edit warring, please file a report at WP:ANEW. The most helpful essay I've ever seen is WP:DISCFAIL; it is especially important for those who review content regularly.
• If you encounter private information or threats of physical harm during your patrols, please quickly use Special:EmailUser/Oversight or Special:EmailUser/Emergency; ideally bookmark these pages now. See WP:OS and WP:EMERGENCY for details. If you're regularly patrolling recent changes, you will need both contacts sooner or later, and you'll be happy about the bookmarks.

To try rollback for the first time, you may like to make an edit to WP:Sandbox, and another one, and another one, and then revert the row with one click. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about rollback. Thank you for your time and work in cleaning up Wikipedia. Happy editing!

Best regards,

The rollback link can be configured to be hidden from watchlists, hidden entirely, require a confirmation second click et cetera while still keeping the rollback group membership and access to tools like Huggle. If the rollback link is a problem and this is what you'd like to do, please let me know on my talk page or {{ping}} me here (make double sure to sign the message containing the ping or it will fail) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:32, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

I appreciate it :) I'll make sure to test it out on a sandbox. Vertyy (📲|📝) 23:34, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Error on Harvey S. Firestone

You left a caution on an editor's talk page regarding this edit. The editor did give a reason. There was also an entry regarding the edit on the article's talk page. Please take care when templating editors, we don't always get it right and must learn from our mistakes. Best wishes Flat Out (talk) 00:23, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Ah, yeah I see my mistake there. I was going too fast I think. I'll keep an eye out for stuff like that in the future. Thanks for letting me know! Vertyy (📲|📝) 10:12, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
