Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Rollback granted

Hi RafaelS1979. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). 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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 (talk) 14:25, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for granting me the right. I'll use it in a serious manner and correctly. Regards. RafaelS1979 (talk) 14:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPR

Hi RafaelS1979,

I see you were turned down by Amanda for the NPR user right, I'd suggest heading over to WP:Articles for deletion and over to WP:Requested moves and participating in some discussions for a while before applying again. While CSDable articles are less common after WP:ACTRIAL went permanent, you should carefully review the CSD criteria before applying again (note this in your application if/when you apply again). — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 21:12, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Insertcleverphrasehere and thank you for your comment. While I agree that I don't have that much of experience in page moving and CSD, I'm willing to learn and help, that's I wanted the right. I'll take your advice and I'll participate in discussions to gain more knowledge and experience. RafaelS1979 (talk) 21:19, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just some general advice on CSDs, be extremely careful with them, and only use CSD in the most blatant of cases. If in any doubt whatsoever, use AfD or PROD instead, CSD's tend to only get seen by one other set of eyes before being deleted, and admins can make mistakes too. That's why people like to see a lot of care taken with CSD nominations, and failed CSD nominations tend to reflect badly on editors/reviewers that are applying for additional user rights. If something is CSDable, and you take it to AfD instead, and you get a few !votes of 'Speedy delete per XXX' there is no harm done, so lean that way if in any doubt. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 03:19, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IP block exemption

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

RafaelS1979 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I often use a VPN for security and privacy reasons. I'm a frequent editor mainly on the french and english Wikipedias (Football, F1, music, etc.) and I always have to log off my VPN whenever I want to edit on Wikipedia, which is, to be honest, really annoying. It would help to have a permanent IP block exemption. thanks RafaelS1979 (talk) 22:43, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only; please make your request by following the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY. A checkuser must examine this situation first. 331dot (talk) 10:38, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@331dot I sent an email to checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org in the hope that someone will reply soon. RafaelS1979 (talk) 11:30, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Once the checkuser examines the matter, they will then tell how to proceed. The requirements for an exemption have been loosened recently; previously a mere desire for security and privacy was not sufficient(especially if a user is able to turn off their VPN), but now most trusted users are permitted the exemption- though it is not usually given out without an end date of some kind. 331dot (talk) 11:35, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks for the info. RafaelS1979 (talk) 11:44, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit revert

Is there a reason you reverted my reversion on Headlong (song)? Was the information the disruptive IP introduced correct? Can you provide a source or an image link that proves it? The entire section is uncited. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 11:06, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ResolutionsPerMinute It's you to prove that John Deacon did backing vocals on the album. It's not because we see the for of them around the mic that John sings. It's the same thing as in Somebody to love, we see the four of them around the mic for aesthetics reasons. John didn't sing. Go see the booklet of Innunedo, he is not credited with backing vocals. RafaelS1979 (talk) 12:24, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So he isn't. That's all I needed to know. ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 12:58, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
