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 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. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   16:11, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Don Albert & Partners/use of rollback
Could you please explain your use of rollback here to revert the extensive edits by an IP editor at Don Albert & Partners? I could be missing something but it appeared to me that these edits were a good faith attempt to improve the article by addressing problems that had been identified by other editors, most notably a lack of in-line citations. I did not necessarily agree with all the edits but I was waiting until the IP editor had finished xer edits to review them. It seems clear to me that these edits were not vandalism and thus not appropriate for rollback. If I am missing something, please let me know, otherwise I'd suggest that you undo your use of rollback. Best, --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
