You are now a Reviewer
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 protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is 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 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 userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 17:03, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 19:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Ecoregions of the United States
No need to take it personally, I've got a lot of little things going on, and Wikipedia is how I take my breaks while working 13 hour days. In any case, I certainly don't have any objections to an Ecoregions cat being started for the US, but it's not really in the general area of my work. I just added that red-cat in the article because I was cleaning out WP:UNCAT on a lark. I mainly stick to Central Asian topics and some milhist, but thanks for getting in touch.

Wikify Drive
Since you signed up for the September 2010 GOCE event, I wanted to invite you to participate in a similar event: the September 2010 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive. In case you didn't know, "Wikification" is the process of formatting articles using Wiki markup (as opposed to plain text or HTML) and adding internal links to material. Barnstars will be awarded to participating editors. Thanks!

Richmond Hill GA
I want to start putting in Pictures related to Richmond Hill GA and add a Culture area with Community Events(annual), Media, Museums, Religion< and Sports. Your thoughts? Tpalmer70 (talk) 17:00, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds great! Any information would be great as long as you add references to what you add. In other words, you can't just put stuff about Richmond Hill without finding the information in a book or another website. This page has some information about which sources to cite, and this page tells you how to cite your references. This page shows you what information to add about each topic like religion or sports. If you don't really have any experience with editing Wikipedia, you can send me the information, and I can wikify it for you if you'd like. If you have pictures, please upload them to Wikipedia Commons. Uploading pictures should be pretty straightforward from there. Sorry I wrote a lot; it must be kind of overwhelming. Do you have any questions about how to do any of these things? ethansmith &#124; talk to me. 22:58, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
