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.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats! ~Geaugagrrl talk 13:10, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welsh gold

I'm glad to see that someone else is keeping an eye on these persistent attempts to add misinformation and commercial links to pages concerning Welsh gold! I have been battling against this deliberate spreading of (to use a polite term) misinformation, for some 25 years now.

Fyi a new person has just appeared on the wikipedia scene, making exactly the same edits to the Welsh gold pages,and obviously with exactly the same commercial motivation. These people are so well-organised. Crefftwr (talk) 12:32, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just wanted to pop over and say I appreciated the improvements (and addition) you made to the Lola Folman page.

Dyfi Osprey Project

Hi - I visited the Dyfi Osprey project today near Dovey Junction station, and was fortunate enough to see the osprey on the nest (from a distance!) Do you know if this is part of the Dyfi Estuary Mudflats, or somewhere else? If it is separate, then I'll see if I can knock up an article, as it's certainly had sufficient media attention to make it notable. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 22:30, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, It is near to the Mudflats and agree would surely justify a separate article, just down the road is Ynys-hir RSPB reserve which is on the mudflats too... Regards,  Badgernet  ₪  10:13, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dyfi ospreys

Hi - Is this one of the Dyfi Ospreys, or just a generic photograph? I can't find anything on the file page or source page to state where it was taken though I may have missed it. If it's just a generic photo, I feel it may be misleading, especially in the satellite tracking section, as it would imply that it's one of the fitted chicks.  An optimist on the run! 13:10, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New Wales Coast Path WikiProject

I see you're a member of WikiProject Wales and have contributed to Welsh articles. There's a new project, Llwybrau Byw!|Living Paths! under development which you might be able to contribute to. Lonely Planet rated the coast of Wales "the best region on Earth" in 2012, yet there is a very low number of articles on the history and culture of places along the Coastal Path and the many and various activities and attractions. This promises to be an exciting project as it gathers momentum with many Users joining in. Let's make this WikiProject, like the path itself, the best on earth!
