Because of some unprecedent allegations made against me, my rollback and PCR is revoked upon my request. I thought I will be semi-active for some time and relax from Wikipedia. I have decided to get the rights I was given in 2024 Feb-Mar. I promise not to violate the policies. I faced no objection on my work as of now. Can I get those rights (rollback and PCR right) back? ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️^{(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔)} 06:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Unprecedented? No. Hat collecting happens all the time on Wikipedia. FWIW, no one asked you to give up your existing rights.  Courtesy link: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive360 § Autopatrolled RFP page backlog on March 2024 Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 10:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Here we go again. You see nowadays, I only edit on politics-related articles. This has nothing to do with my "hat-collecting" or whatever, and I am not abusing the rights, (as far as I did not got any objection). Because 2024 Indian General elections are going right at the moment, I may be busy in creating articles and watch if any vandals has messed anything or not. I thought I may need the rollback and PCR, for the help. Rest is upto the admin and I will not escalate further. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️^{(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔)} 10:22, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

To stop the wildly unhelpful notices from DPL bot, try clicking Special:Preferences → Gadgets, and select/tick "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange". It does what it says on the tin.

Hello. You recently rejected a draft of Reanimal and did not leave a comment. I would like to clarify what exactly you did not like. Redstone catman (talk) 10:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Redstone catman, since the game is in early stage of release, some secondary sources might still be needed. You need to provide the games more information (Story, Release, Marketing) for qualifying the GNG criteria. But that it might take time for that. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️^{(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔)} 10:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
