Hi, welcome to the Talk Page.

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)

Can we collapse Template:Close relationships so the images fit in sections? C T J F 8 3 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? C T J F 8 3  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. C T J F 8 3  chat 20:09, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * That one is fine too, you can revert my last test edit if you want. C T J F 8 3  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 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?   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 Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
 * You can test Rollback at 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). Cheers, > Minnecologies Talk 18:48, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

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) and part-take in the attempt to find a final resolution. --  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  18:45, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Laetitia Darche
Hi. I saw you often contribute to this article. Are you Mauritian? Jivesh   &bull;  Talk2Me  11:00, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

So you are not from Mauritius? Jivesh   &bull;  Talk2Me  17:51, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Please do not get me wrong. Actually, i saw that you expanded the article. So i thought you must also be from the same country. Jivesh   &bull;  Talk2Me  17:54, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Lol. Actually, i am from Mauritius. Laetitia is really beautiful. oncerning my edits, i edit mainly Beyonce related pages. I hope you know what i am talking about. Jivesh   &bull;  Talk2Me  18:16, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I am a die-hard fan of Beyonce. I came to Wikipedia for her (almost exclusively). No, it should be kept as Beyonce Knowles itself. Jivesh   &bull;  Talk2Me  15:04, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Gosh, that was a big edit with a short summary! I'm not checking it - I think that you know your stuff. Good clean up job, which must have taken quite some time behind the scenes with sourcing etc. Off to bed shortly, and doubtless 20% of the heights will have been vandalised by the time I get going again. Plus cą change, plus cą même chose. :-( Sitush (talk) 01:15, 30 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I have requested semi-protection of the article. No idea if the admin will agree but something needs to be done here as the situation is silly. - Sitush (talk) 01:13, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
