Dear Naru,

You most likely have gathered what this post is about through the thread name, but to make it clear I'm requesting to be given the Rollback position. I would like to be given this ability to help undo vandalisation on the wiki as I often taxingly do without this tool. I feel the Rollback position will certainly make reversing vandalism easier and more effective. I have been on the wiki for just short of 5 months and I feel my high edit count, participation in wiki events, role idea criticism, constant attempts to better understand the coding side of the wiki, and history of positive reinforcement in comments and and blogs goes to show I do not want this title for a shiny badge I get to wave around like some sort of dogma of my success, but rather that I wish to obtain Rollback for the purpose of being able to roll back edits more effeciantly and effectively.

If any sign of cheesiness, overhype, or even hypocracy appears, I do apologise, but I think the idea of being the first Townie of the Month goes to show this ability will not be wasted.

I am also aware of the apparent lack of need for new wiki staff, and most likely would have waited to ask this until I was on the wiki 6 months, as I would have been able to run for Townie of the Month again, but I feel the sudden shift of Active staff dropping off the map to Semi-Active suddenly was a bit concerning. To not sound accusative of the higher-ups of this establishment, I am not alarmed or freaked out over the status of the wiki, due to the fact that I accuse them of nothing, but I'm not going to simply omit the fact that the while the wiki is not is desperate need of more staff, it could use some help, and this help I am willing to give, although, as you have shown, "Semi-Active" is not a sign that someone loses interest in the wiki, but meerly is busy elsewhere.

If this huge block of text isn't evident enough, I've put some serious thought into this and while I'm aware Administrators have the right to promote to Rollback, I feel the most comfortable posting this here.

All due respect (and maybe a bit more),
