Datovidny
I’d like to apply for Rollback’r, if this is the wrong place to apply then just say, but I saw that Snowdog140 used this area too. I am a very regular visitor to the wiki, I have visited almost every single day since I joined the wiki. I have been a contributor to this wiki for almost two years now, and have since made several thousand edits to the main wiki. I don’t lack the basic skills required to perform complex edits, as I have earned 31 badges, 2 awards and have created a hefty number of articles too, all of which are listed here. I like to think that I have shown signs of authority on the wiki in the past as well, for instance, I’ve clearly been deemed responsible enough to be appointed a Judge on the Arena Forum. Also, particularly recently, I have combated several cases of vandalism and undone several pointless edits. I hope that I can continue to be a great help to the wiki, as I love Robot Wars. I know that I have perhaps been a bit of a controversial user since I first joined, and I have fallen out with a few of you in the past, I’d like to think that I can redeem myself by making more of an impression to the progress of the wiki, which I can do if I have more powers. Thank you for listening. David of Datovidny (talk) 15:40, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * There are very few users on this wiki who would be a better choice for rollback'r than you would. In fact, I'm surprised that you've never made a request for promotion before now. My vote is a wholehearted Support. Christophee (talk) 20:12, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Like Christophee said, I see no harm in Support. With that said, there's a few things I've got to get off my chest.  You come across as a gloryhound.  A lot of your badges were for the same pages I got badges for, and frankly your contributions to said pages were not equitable to mine.  You add needless fluff to pages just for the sake of putting your name on them, if you've not heard the phrase "less is more," then it's something you should really embrace.  It's narcissistic of you to have such a long contributions page, let alone one where you list every single page you've created, PLUS the ones that were deleted.  I mean, we'd have practically nothing on the Dutch Robot Wars if it hadn't been for me, but do you see me going around bragging about it?  You were smart to get rid of the "list of pictures I've uploaded," that's a step in the right direction.  I'll reiterate, I support, because none of this will disqualify you from rollbacking, but if ever in the future you're angling for something higher, it certainly might.  I hope you're cool with me using your RfP as a chance to lay it all on the line, understand my goal isn't to put you down but make you the best you can be. R A 2 ; aka Resetti's Replicas.

 * Quite simply, no more suitable candidate can be found anywhere on any wiki. A wholehearted Support Matt Robot Wars.jpg Talk to me  22:06, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
