Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:40, 20 October 2010 (UTC) Reply

Because I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes. If you are not customarily logged into the IRC, use this link. This under used resource can allow real time discussion at this particularly timely venture of the trial known as Pending Changes. Even if nothing can come from debating points there, at least this invitation is delivered with the best of intentions and good faith expectations. Kind regards.

Thanks for the SPI notice. Hopefully he'll run out of methods to annoy. I can't believe he's serious. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 03:21, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

OK, I was actually there to clarify New Mexico Territory, since Arizona Territory was split out during the war and I just noticed a few missing states and didn't realize you were working simultaneously. Mojoworker (talk) 07:48, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'll fix them. The sortable table looks great BTW. Mojoworker (talk) 08:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Tks. Later... • Ling.Nut (talk) 08:26, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the kind words! • Ling.Nut (talk) 05:33, 8 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hey – it seems like you're interested in the Indian wars. If you wanna write (or start to write) a little 2 or 3 sentence introductory blurb to put just before that table, that would be a Good Thing.. If you don't wanna do it, I'll get around to it eventually. Thanks! • Ling.Nut (talk) 08:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

OK, I inserted a short intro as well as a tiny intro to the other USA/CSA battles as well as some fixing and cleanup. Mojoworker (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
yeah... thanks for the intro text, and thanks for tidying up... I was getting a little bleary-eyed from staring at those things... so thanks! :-) • Ling.Nut (talk) 00:31, 14 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
I know what you mean about being bleary-eyed. You've been working pretty hard for someone who's retired :-) Mojoworker (talk) 01:32, 14 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
shhhhhhhhh.... it's a secret... • Ling.Nut (talk) 03:22, 14 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Thanks for working on that table! I've kinda given up on it, mainly because I'm a little tired of staring at it (at least for now). I'm kinda gonna move on to something else. There are still a handful of battles with no details or comments, but I'm just gonna leave that for others to do... But if you need any help on that or anything else Civil war related, drop me a line. I'm just now starting this topic so am not knowledgeable about it, but can chip in wherever it may help. • Ling.Nut (talk) 23:04, 18 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Well, you've already done quite a bit of work on it, so I'll see if I can finish it off and maybe add a couple of additional altercations. The last time it was assessed (looks like way back in July 2006), it failed B status on referencing and citations. It would probably make more sense to be rated as a "List" class article instead of a "Start" class article, so I'll see if I can get that changed. Do you think we should have it peer reviewed and maybe eventually have it assessed for featured list status? I wish Wikipedia had been around when I was reading extensively on the Civil War -- would've been easier to find what's missing in an article... Not sure what I'll move on to next -- maybe First Battle of Bull Run since the sesquicentennial is coming up in July. Mojoworker (talk) 01:34, 19 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • I have absolutely no idea how they evaluate featured lists. I bet there's a page at WP:WIAFL...yep, I was right (I was just guessing because I am familiar with WP:WIAFA). Yes, it should be a "List" not a "Start." It's easy to change ratings; just change them. • Ling.Nut (talk) 04:27, 19 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
