The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Patrollers

 Patrollers  are users granted the rollback tool to keep the wiki free of any vandalism. With a single click, they can revert edits. Patrollers must apply their position. Only bureaucrats are able to grant their rollback rights.

Duties and privileges

 * Watching the recent changes and checking edits for vandalism. Always paste revert on the talk page of a user whose edits have been rollbacked; even IP addresses should be notified.
 * Reporting vandalism to the notice board or notifying an admin on the IRC or on their talk page. In the event that an admin is unable to block a vandal, place warning on the vandal's talk page. This may discourage further vandalism.
 * Patrollers are encouraged to add high traffic articles, good articles, and featured articles to their watchlist to help prevent vandalism.
 * Patrollers have the ability to move pages in the [[File:]] namespace. Images should be given names appropriate to their composition and should not contain an overabundance of numerical characters. File:2334234739784.png is discouraged, while File:Stormcloak Encampment.png is more meaningful and easier to locate.
 * Scout Special:NewPages for recently made articles that may not meet our style and formatting guidelines. Articles found here can be marked as patrolled, by scrolling to the bottom of the article and clicking [Mark this page as patrolled]. This link only appears if the page is opened through Special:NewPages. Before marking a page as patrolled, ensure it contains an infobox, wikilinks, and appropriate categories. Flag the page as a stub or as needing attention wherever applicable.
 * Maintain an overall mature and friendly demeanor when interacting with other editors.
 * Practice diplomacy when users make mistakes.
 * Pointing new users to policies and guidelines when necessary.

Maintaining the rollback tool

 * Patrollers who have not edited in exactly 30 days are considered inactive, and will no longer be displayed on our staff list unless they can prove they have made a steady return.
 * Patrollers who have gone "rogue" and turned into obvious vandals will have their rollback tool removed automatically. They can petition to have it returned on the consensus track form.
 * Patrollers will not lose their rollback tool if marked as inactive, although the " yellow " coloration of their name and their "custodial" tools of page patrolling and file renaming are indefinitely revoked. To request that a user be relieved of their rollback tool due to abuse, please petition on the consensus track form. Format the request similar to the rollback nomination layout.

Requirements

 * Possess a minimum of 500 mainspace edits
 * Demonstrate superior editing skills in compliance with the current policies and style guidelines.
 * Practice diplomacy when users make mistakes.
 * Direct new and unaware users to policy and help pages.
 * Serve as a mentor and community role model.
 * Maintain an active presence on the wiki.

How to vote/example
I nominate EbonySkyrim for the title of patroller. She has been with us awhile and she has been a help and pleasure the whole time. I have no doubt that she can handle this.

Starkiller131
Hi, everyone. My name's Starkiller131 and I've been editing since may 8th of 2013. I came by to apply for the position of patroller and will state several reasons why i believe I would make a good addition to the Staff. First off I'm active in the mainspace, I inform users when they make mistakes, and I have a better knowledge of editing then I did when I first started editing here. Just to take users back how I used used to think about being patroller. I thought being patroller would be fun and games and no response though when I was nominated by a former admin in December of 2013. The admin who nominated me wasn't aware how bad my spelling/grammar was my anger when it came to getting my edits reverted, and lack of informing any users of their edits. For a very long time I didn't believe I was even ready for patroller, and still after all this time I'm still not sure I'm ready, that decision is ultimately up to community. Now enough for history I need to talk about the current patroller situation, as of right now; we only have one patroller and another user who's close to getting rights. We need more patrollers and as of right now I'm confident in my ability as an editor, as a user, and as a member of this community that I would do my job well if given the opportunity. Thanks for reading please be honest, and don't give support/oppose without reasoning thanks. If done so the vote will not be valid :).

Support
Star has been a very good editor and is regularly contributing to the wiki. He has reverted vandalism and overall, I believe he would make a good patroller. --Sajuuk talk 15:37, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

Due to his active contributions to this wiki, I think deserves consideration. Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 15:40, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

We all knew this day would come. We asked him for better spelling and grammar, and he delivered -- alongside a solid editing history and vigilant vandal-hunting. Promoting more Patrollers, especially one like 131, can only behoove TES Wiki. ¢yn!k4l £@r7h (talk) 17:44, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

Star fits all the requirements and the basic portfolio of a Patroller. His frequent edits and managing of mistakes and violations from other users as well as reverting of vandalism by offenders is one of the most important qualities a patroller should have. His personality and attitude is quite calm and attentive, I expect him to uphold a good appearance and apply positive interactions with the community. Star is one of the best users for the job, and by my honor as the only current patroller, I fully support his application for the Patroller position. ☞ Rim < Talk 18:54, April 15, 2015 (UTC)

I have had the pleasure to work with Star not just on this Wiki, but also on the Dark Souls Wiki, where he is also an active contributor. He is a great editor, able to catch vandalism quickly, and knows when and when not to use his tools based on the given situation. This is on top of the fact that he is an active contributor to the mainspace makes me see no reason not to promote him. In short, great guy, great editor, and great user of the XD emote.

Star is a friendly and honest guy, so I have no issues with him being patroller. He spends a LOT of time editing, more now than ever. I've seen him revert quite a bit of bad edits, and he could definitely make use of the tools of a patroller. —Atvelonis (talk) 14:18, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

Given his good editing history, regular activity, and hard work put into the wiki, he fits all the requirements. This coupled with the already existing deficit of patrollers, I say he is the patroller we need (and hopefully deserve). Your Brother in Arms (talk) 21:30, April 16, 2015 (UTC)

Comments
While I appreciate the Support Ser Pounce-a-lot. I stated in my application that in order for the vote the be valid it has to have reasoning behind it. Starkiller131 (talk) 15:44, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I hope the comment added is valid.Ser Pouce-a-lot (talk) 16:03, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for giving a reason. I was just worried admin's wouldn't count it if it didn't have a reason. Starkiller131 (talk) 16:05, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
