Hi,
I've been editing Misplaced Pages for about a year, with more active contributions over the past 5-6 months. i edited over 1000 edits and made some pages as well. During this time, I've frequently reverted vandalism and unconstructive edits and have become familiar with handling such challenges.

While I’m still learning some aspects of Misplaced Pages policies, I feel that rollback rights would help me revert vandalism and const. edits more efficiently, especially when i have to do repeated cases. I’m committed to using these rights responsibly to maintain the quality of Misplaced Pages.

Much Regards. ] (]) 03:26, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
