Gutripper

Yes I know I was a poor contributor at the start, but I really have changed. During my time as administrator of the Smash Arena, I learned a lot about how to get along with other users and about responsibilty. I have always tried to make good edits, and I do revert vandalism as much as I can. Rollback powers would not be wasted on me.

Thankyou --Gutripper^{Speak if you are worthy} 00:25, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Support - I honestly don't see why not. He's active and makes decent contributions. Blue Ninjakoopa ^{Happy Holidays} 00:33, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

You go girl! - My infamous remark plays back. 'Tripper deserves Rollback powers. -- Pikabro^PIKACHU! 00:34, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Care to say why?SmoreKing Happy Holidays! 13:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Because he's active, mature, helpful and reverts vandalism when he finds it. Reverting isn't something you can just do, like editing. There has to be stuff to revert. Besides Smore, we know that you oppose Gutripper. You don't have to keep commenting on other people's support. Pikabro^PIKACHU! 23:16, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Even if I supported him, I would have given a reason and asked about yours.SmoreKing Happy Holidays! 23:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Support - My friend, you have come a long way from the ignorant moron who told Fyre she was full of herself. Now you are making decent edits, reverting vandalism (which is the whole idea), are active despite huge commitments, and a mature contributor. I'm proud of your progress and I hope that you get this privelege. You deserve it. --Toon Ganondorf (t c) 00:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Why does he deserve it? Your reason doesn't really have anything to do with rollback.SZL (talk) 23:37, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I think that he will make a good rollbackr because he makes decent edits, is active, reverts vandalism and is mature. I said that. If you disagree, oppose him. --Toon Ganondorf (t c) 23:40, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Revert vandalism. His edits are good in heart, and he will fight vandalism here when he gets the chance. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 09:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Support. Reliable and trustworthy, but also Pikamander's (in)famous line. Miles (talk) 02:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Support Decent guy. I haven't been here long, but from what I can tell, he is a great asset for fighting vandalism. Why shouldn't he get it --The Steel Avenger Taste my cold steel!

s'port ^^^ Ike's Best Buddy^{Merry! Christmas!!}

Yeah, you kind of need to put a reason. If "^^^" means the vote above yours, he didn't really put a reason either.UP/T 01:22, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, I actually did. If you had taken the time to read rather than rushing to get as much reasons to ruin this guy's chances. I have noticed that his has been the only one that you've dissected to question every vot they get. The Steel Avenger Taste my cold steel!

Having fun changing your reason to make him seem stupid? You just added for fighting vandalism. You guys are just making SZL seem like an arrogant cock, and trust me, he isn't.Smoreking 2009 is coming! 22:33, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Support As TG said, the old days of Gutripper going up and PAing Fyre are gone, and I believe that Gutripper has matured enough to turn a new page in his Smashwiki profile. He can only help with rollback, and will be very helpful to Smashwiki with rollback. Friedbeef1 Ho ho ho! 21:13, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Oppose. I hate to be this guy, but you haven't really reverted much, so why would you need Rollback?SmoreKing Happy Holidays! 23:43, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

He's active, dude. Isn't that what matters? Anyone can revert, it's the activity that counts. Blue Ninjakoopa ^{Happy Holidays} 23:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I reverted vandalism on Clarinet Hawk's page from the stupid loser called Shit Ass Fuckers. Also, I was checking for his other vandalism, but it had already been taken care of. --Gutripper^{Speak if you are worthy} 23:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I still think SK shouldn't be so harsh with this oppose. You're also mature, something key to having rollback powers. Blue Ninjakoopa ^{Happy Holidays} 00:04, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Notice how I said this guy? That's because somebody(an admin, DE, Shadowcrest, etc.) is going to come by and notice that too, so I just wanted to say it. As with the message I've posted on Gutripper's talk page, he hasn't reverted much, and somebody's going to notice it. And if you think I'm being a dick right now, I'm sorry.SmoreKing Happy Holidays! 00:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose. Smoreking. Also, if there's not enough vandalism to revert in order for you to run, then wait until there is enough, and then run.UP/T 23:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm just gonna say this as a third-party, and not as a pal/good friend/really cool guy that knows Gutripper. If you wait for enough vandalism (and we get plenty), why should he wait till the last minute to run if some vandal like Willy on Wheels come and mess everything up? There's plenty of vandalism on SW, and we should have more vandal fighters. Friedbeef1 Ho ho ho! 01:33, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Allow me to rephrase. If there's not enough vandalism for you to revert, then wait until you have reverted enough, then run. OK?UP/T 21:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Okay, here I go again. I have the skill. I am an admin or close to an admin on some wiki's. I've returned.

Votes/Comments

• Oppose. no real reasons yet, and often throws fits that occasionally include vandalism. Xtrme Enter 2009 01:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Look, I'm not a vandal, X. ACOFL 21:47, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

• Slight Support Moody, but active. I'm wondering what happened to your other proposal... Blue Ninjakoopa 01:57, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Oppose - Changed my vote because I was still in the mind of "friends deserve rollback". His reverts are low and he's constantly leaving/returning to SW. He's not very active either. Blue Ninjakoopa^Talk 16:34, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
• Support. "You're active, and you're not a vandal. IMO, those are the only things that matter." Just so you know, there is no apostrophe in wikis. --Posted by Pikamander2 (Talk) at 01:58, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
• Slight oppose What DE said last time.Smoreking 2009 is coming! 02:35, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose. Essentially what I said last time. A second look at at your contributions revealed that among your last 500 contributions you've only got a single single revert (not including two self-reverts). There's simply no evidence that you have any need of rollback, nor that you would put it to any use. – Defiant Elements +talk 04:40, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
• Support He's active, not a vandal, and enthusiastic. He does get moody, but giving him rollback is safe. We need more vandal fighters. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 05:37, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
• SupportHe's a good guy, and what's more, he's a vandal target. ROllback will really help him, and he would do well with it, I'm sure. Toon Ganondorf (t c)

I'm glad TG brought that up. A number of the vandals we get here take the names of "IHAETPARAGOOMBA348" or something like that. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 05:45, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

You'll have to excuse me if I don't see how that's relevant. The fact is that, despite those vandals, he hasn't been reverting vandalism, so why should it have any bearing on his RfR? – Defiant Elements +talk 05:48, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree with DE (O.o). Cheezperson, we aren't building an army. Basically, you said that anyone can request rollback so long as they're active, which is not the case (though I've said otherwise before). Blue Ninjakoopa 06:03, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

SmashWiki talk:Requests for rollback#Reasons please. SZL's got a point.Smoreking 2009 is coming! 13:46, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

BNK is against me because he dislikes me. If someone could give me 3 examples of this user starting an edit war in the past month, I will change my vote. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 19:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

lol I LOVE you, I just like messing with your head. I'm not saying you shouldn't support him, I'm just saying you should find another reason than "We need more vandal fighters". What is this, Star Wars? Blue Ninjakoopa 20:01, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

• Slight Support Very active, but more reverts would boost this bid for rollback. Friedbeef1 Ho ho ho! 20:58, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
• Support. Pikamander2. Masterman 2009 19:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
• Neutral. The "leaving"/"returning" constantly ruins much of the positive reputation you'd earned in my perspective. Miles (talk) 03:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Fried beef1

From the pressuring of many of my friends on this wiki, I am running for rollback now. This would be a benefit, due to the fact that I am very active, made many vandal reverts to my name, and that I have not made any major disputes that will spark edit wars. This would be the farthest I shall attempt to achieve due to the fact that I see no point in me getting admin rights. Check this out if you still have doubts. Cheers!

• Strong Support It's about time, Beef! Honestly, he's an outstanding contributor, a great friend, and is very active. Not to mention how kind he is. Go for it! Blue Ninjakoopa 03:57, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
• Support. That he's a "great friend" and "really kind" is really neither here nor there. That said, he is active, and a brief glance at his contributions reveals that he's got more than a handful of reverts, which is good enough for me. – Defiant Elements +talk 04:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

That was just plain unnecessary, dude. Not everything needs to benefit you. Think about other people for once. Blue Ninjakoopa 04:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Huh? I'm confused. The only time I mentioned myself in my vote is when I said that the candidate meets my standards, which is essentially synonymous with my vote of "support." If you're referring to my debunking of your vote, I disagree. While it wasn't strictly necessary in the sense that it wasn't related to the reasoning behind my own vote, far too many of the votes on requests for rollback (and on requests for adminship, for that matter) feature the same kind of specious reasoning, and I think it's more than appropriate (necessary, even) to address that fact. That said, your vote also featured some legitimate reasoning, but my point stands. – Defiant Elements +talk 04:51, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

By "suspicious resoning" you mean votes such as Pikabro's "You Go Girl" or other invalid reasons? Blue Ninjakoopa 04:55, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

The word is "specious" (yes, I'm pedantic, get over it), which is to say, yes, since specious reasons, by definition, are false (i.e. invalid) reasons. – Defiant Elements +talk 04:58, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

• Isn't it obvious? How many reasons can there possibly be? I would get sick of reading the same thing over and over. But, anyway, FriedBeef1 has a heap of reverts and is active. In the next generation of admins, I think we have one. Support. Gutripper^{Speak if you are worthy}

Thank you, Gutripper, but I will not be going for admin rights. Friedbeef1 1/26/09! 00:19, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Y462

Hello, I'm Y462. I am requesting rollback capabilities mainly because I believe it will help me deal with vandalism. I have undid numerous vandal reverts in the past. With rollback capabilities, I will be able to deal with vandalism in a faster way. I constantly check the recent changes for vandalism/spam. There has been a few times in which I attempted to undo vandalism/spam, but users with rollback capabilities beat me to it. Before anyone supports/opposes, please check my contributions. Here’s a link to my edit count though I believe I should not be opposed because of my low edit count.

The short form, I believe I can benefit from rollback capabilities. Y462 (T • C • E ) 14:43, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
