Hello again

[edit]

It is not a coincidence: I followed you over here out of curiosity.

It was quite easy to confirm the vandalism at Government of Pakistan (though I chose in the warning template to describe it as an unsourced contribution that I reverted.) I used the article's history tab, and I could see that it was the most recent edit (the 'diff' link). I could click the 'undo' link to revert it, and the 'contribs' link to see it was a new user with no prior history of this kind of thing.

I chose a 'first warning' template from WP:UTM, and posted it at the user's talk page.

Cool thanks :) I don't like wikipedia being edited with opinion it brings the reputation down, first time I've ever seen it though. So can you do all that only if you are a reviewer? Or can anyone?

Hello again to you too by the way, thanks for making my first foray into the wikis so easy and enjoyable. FireLyte--spyre (talk) 18:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

English Wikipedia doesn't have "flagged revisions" that require "reviewer" permissions, unlike say German Wikipedia or English Wikinews. Anyone can revert vandalism, warn vandals, and report them to WP:AN.

Actually that is not quite true - English Wikipedia has a trial of a new system with a similar purpose, Wikipedia:Pending changes. The trial is on just 2 thousand articles (out of 3 million!).
