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 Wikipedia: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) 22:44, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Warning templates

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: please use warning templates in the future. After a revert, these should be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. In case you didn't know, there is a {{uw-unsourced1}} warning, which is ideal after this kind of edit. Thanks. —mono(how's my driving?) 00:56, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

The article on Hugh McFadyen is highly negative. If one compares it to the positive commenting on his political opponent Greg Selinger, one notices a strong political bias. I suggest deactivating BOTH pages (Greg Selinger and Hugh McFadyen) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.142.210.215 (talk) 21:07, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

bin Laden

I did cite it.[1] His death was announced today, but it didn't occur today. They had to have time to move the body and to conduct DNA tests. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

I think you're right. More details are emerging. I'm trying to remove my own comment from the "death of" article, but it's a fury of edits. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll accept that he's dead. I don't think Obama (and George W.) would be publicly commenting on it if they weren't certain. This at least gets Trump off the front page for a day or two. I still wonder how they got the DNA testing done so fast. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:25, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

From a practical standpoint, this story was leaked before Obama could give his speech, so the probability of being able to keep it secret for an entire week is pretty small. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 05:29, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

All very true, Bugs. Glad for your civility; thanks for allowing me to explain why I reverted your edit. — Super-Magician ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 07:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Sometimes the "reliable sources" are less reliable than they might be. :) ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:00, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and if the "burial at sea" story is true (and who knows, at this point), then they haven't actually done the DNA work, but only went by visual recognition, and took DNA samples for later testing. I hope they've got the right guy. It would be trouble if the President had to hold another press conference and say, "Oops!" ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 09:02, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Main page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on June 17, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 17, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article directors Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! ۞ Tbhotch^™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 18:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Alberto was the first of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season. Forming on June 10 in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, the storm moved generally to the north, reaching a maximum intensity of 70 mph (110 km/h) before weakening and moving ashore in the Big Bend area of Florida on June 13. Alberto then moved through eastern Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia as a tropical depression before becoming extratropical on June 14. Across the western Caribbean, the storm produced heavy rainfall, causing minor damage. In Florida, a moderate storm tide caused coastal damage and flooding, while Alberto's outer rainbands produced several tornadoes. Alberto was indirectly responsible for two drownings off the coast of Tampa Bay. In North Carolina, heavy rainfall caused locally severe flooding, and one person drowned after running into a flooded storm drain near Raleigh. The remnants of Alberto produced strong winds and left four people missing in Atlantic Canada. Overall, damage was minor along Alberto's path. (more...)
