Wikipedia:Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:38, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Fabrication of sources

I find Taztouzi's apparent fabrication of sources scary, too. Well, it's been an education. Susfele (talk) 02:08, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Mohammed Al Maiman

Well, the good news is that after Agenceluxe is declared a sock of Taztouzi, the Al Maiman page can be speedy deleted. Good work! Susfele (talk) 02:37, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Boyfriend

Can we collapse Template:Close relationships so the images fit in sections? CTJF83 chat 19:44, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Looks pretty good...but is is possible to put the straight couple lower, so it isn't double indented with both pics? CTJF83 chat 20:00, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Either that or the test save I just did, the pictures don't overlap, but the 2nd one does overlap the next section...either one is really fine with me. CTJF83 chat 20:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

That one is fine too, you can revert my last test edit if you want. CTJF83 chat 20:12, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer permission

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. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:25, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:

• Rollback gives you access to certain scripts, including Huggle and Igloo, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
• Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
• Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
• Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
• Please read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
• You can test Rollback at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback
• You may wish to display the {{User wikipedia/rollback}} userbox and/or the {{Rollback}} top icon on your user page

If you have any questions, please do let me know.

Americas

I noticed the weasel tag you put up on the Americas page. Would you be so inclined to start a discussion on the article's talk page in hopes that some resolution may take place? You may be interested in reading the very similar discussions from the archived talk pages (here, here, etc.) including a mediation. It would be nice to have the cleanup tag removed, but I'm not going to take it upon myself to do so until the issue is resolved (as best as it can be, anyways).

Re: We need to rename it

Yes, I did think the same at first. I will try to think of a different name for it. Unless you have already? Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been on here in a while! MissAmericaGirl (talk) 23:05, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Question About My Contribution

Hello, I see that you edited my contribution to the Herbal Essences stub. I was wondering if you could tell me what I did wrong so I could correct it. I had to do this for an assignment for school and would appreciate your feedback. Thank you, Folkcl08 16:33, 29 November 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Folkcl08 (talk • contribs)

Miss International 2010

You claim Uganda and Sudan did not attend Miss international 2010 due to Lack of funding and sponsorship, please cite your sources, who funded / sponsored them last year? And what happened to Gabon, Tanzania and Ethiopia? The reality is they all boycotted Miss International which is institutionally and historically racist even if you don’t want the truth to be known. 113.162.125.111 (talk) 03:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Hello there. I just wanted to let you know I saw your comment on the Michael talk page about that new user having their first edit on there. I have reported it, as I believe it is the same person who just barely got blocked. See here ΣПDiПG–STΛЯT 02:53, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Re 'Criollo people'

Hi. I see you've removed the images in question. I've commented on the talk page about this, clarifying the situation (as much as I can - actually policy is a bit unclear in places). I'll add the article to my watchlist, but frankly, given the lack of proper references, it needs more work - or perhaps an AfD? AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:35, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Ending the Michael Jackson edit War

Unfortunately the current edit war over the album type is rather sad but it is most certainly intolerable. Please visit Talk:Michael (album)#End the Edit War - Studio vs Compilation and part-take in the attempt to find a final resolution. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 18:45, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Beauty pageant list

Can you tell me why you deleted the entire international pageants section in the List of beauty contests article, including the Miss World, Miss Universe pageants? These are the most important ones, like the Olympic Games in the List of sport events! --Perfectmiss (talk) 11:42, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
