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 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 &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   21:00, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Re:Ice hockey captains
Hi, thank you for your third opinion. Outside viewpoints are always good. I certainly appreciate your suggestion that adding a link to Captain (ice hockey) is beneficial, and had already suggested that Dolovis add such a link in context. We'll see where it goes from there. Thanks! Resolute 14:44, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hi, Aeonx, I just wanted to say thanks for your work in assessing Military history articles. It is much appreciated. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 21:37, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Bernhard Deroy
Thanks for assessing Jean-Pierre Doumerc. I was afraid that the uncited German wikipedia references would preclude giving the Bernhard Erasmus von Deroy article a B-class rating. Removing the uncited material means a lot of the article will be missing, so I'm not anxious to do that and may just leave it as Start. Thanks for your thoughts.

Your request for rollback
Hi Aeonx. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Tiptoety talk 18:05, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Thanks
Thanks so much for your positive comment on the new ratings for the Guugu Yimithirr language which you have added to my Talk page. It is a real relief to me. Cheers and best wishes, John Hill (talk) 14:06, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Request for access to ACC account creation interface
Confirmation that I have requested access to the ACC account creation interface and that I have read the Request an account/Guide. Aeonx (talk) 13:03, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for applying to access the account creation tool. Unfortunately I was unable to process your request. The ACC tool is a powerful program, and at the present time your account is either too new for us to determine whether you would know how to properly use the tool or that you have not attained the necessary level of trust to be granted access. Please don't take this personally and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Fun  Pika  17:47, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I am curious as to why you made this decision. I reviewed the Request an account/Guide which state: Usually a user should simply be trusted by the approving administrator., further I believe I meet all the minimum requirements as I have not had a block on the English Wikipedia or any wiki or sister project; I do not have any history of account-related abuse; my account on Wikipedia was created on 8/5/2010 and is therefore over 60 days old; and lastly I have throughly read the ACC guidelines. Further, as far as I know I haven't done anything to demonstrate anything but full trustworthiness. The reason I applied for access to the ACC account creation interface is because I work in User Account management professionally and I am curious and willing to help in regards to the en-wiki account creation process, I have absolutely no intention on misusing the tool in anyway, and hopefully my use of other wikipedia tools including STiki, Twinkle, Huggle, AWB and my role as a Reviewer demonstrate this. So I am hoping you can review my case again, or refer it to another interface administrator. Regards, Aeonx (talk) 03:28, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Help in maintaining NPOV on historical Pacific War aviator
Hi Aeonx. I'm looking for some third parties to review a problem editor who (in my opinion) continues to violate the NPOV policy of Wikipedia on the page of a Pacific War aviator, Mitsuo Fuchida. After exhausting myself trying to maintain viable content in the "Controversy" section, I'm asking for a page ban for this user. If you have time and motivation, I'd really appreciate your consideration to review this issue. The Noticeboard Request is to be found here: I hate to take anyone's time, but this problem is why many won't trust Wikipedia. Thanks for your consideration.--TMartinBennett (talk) 18:04, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:20, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello Aeonx. There may still be time for you to avoid a block, if you will agree to wait for consensus before changing the article again. The complaint about your edits is at WP:AN3. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 16:34, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Please revert or strike out your talk page comment at Talk:A2 milk. You refer to other editors as Nazis and morons. You are risking a block for personal attacks. Administrators may be asking themselves if you are actually here to help Wikipedia, or to promote some off-wiki cause that you support. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 23:38, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Removed the offensive remarks. Aeonx (talk) 23:44, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

A2 milk
I understand your frustration with the A2 milk article and share some of your concerns about the behaviour of some editors: I welcome a healthy scepticism, but some edits are clearly part of a fairly unprincipled campaign to rubbish A2 milk. I'm a bit worried, though, about your intention to start your "own complete rewrite". Past attempts to do that have failed and my own well-intended but probably over-ambitious attempt in mid-2014 (see this version) ended rather badly. In short, the dogs began barking and a pack mentality took over; possibly the low point came when, without being informed, I was reported at the Fringe Theories Noticeboard#A2 milk by an editor who also whistled up more dogs at WikiProject Medicine by blatantly lying that I had "rewritten (the A2 article) to make health claims based on anecdotes and a few primary sources". So good luck with your project, and I will assist where I can. I remain interested in the topic but I'm not sure I want to get too deeply involved again—and I'm about to head to the beach for a couple of weeks! BlackCab ( TALK ) 10:45, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the best way to fix this problem is to separate two sets of information, being The a2 Milk Company-related and scientific-related regarding the A1 and A2 casein which WikiProject Medicine have apparently claimed and are heavily influencing with their own POVs. I have drafted a branch here User:Aeonx/The_a2_Milk_Company; would appreciate any assistance in clean-up and separating A2 Milk specific and detailed scientific information which will go into User:Aeonx/A2 Milk from Company-information. -- Aeonx (talk) 00:06, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

The Bugle: Issue CXVII, December 2015
The Bugle is published by the Military history WikiProject. To receive it on your talk page, please join the project or sign up here.

December 2015
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

 * A joke? Firstly, I'm adding value by provided references, including university studies which are valid; secondly the only undoing is removing BIAS. Go Read WP:NPOV. Aeonx (talk) 00:09, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
