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, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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.
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.

Hi Amakuru, I was recently patrolling the New Pages and I saw a lot of articles you were creating. Seeing as you have made over 100 articles, I was wondering if you might want to request autopatroller right. This right makes any new article you make automatically patrolled, so it is less work for new page patrollers. Just an idea.

You've been doing quite a bit of 'hiving off' - unfortunately, the edit tag is just appearring as 'hived off' - no real explanation of what that is, or why you did it. Looking at your 'contribs' list, I can see what you're doing and why, but the simple 'hived off x' tag on your edits is confusing. Perhaps a clearer tag? Thanks.

Hi, regarding these redirects that you created - why were they all necessary?
In many cases the redlink was supposed to point to the place (town, village, locality, etc.) and not to the railway station. Most railway stations, are, after all, named after the places that they serve (a few places are named after the station but they are in a tiny minority). Whilst it is true that London Waterloo East could only refer to the railway station, many, such as Llangynllo are villages which haven't had an article created yet, and so should have remained as redlinks. If you're reading an article like Llangynllo railway station, you may be interested in the locality around the station; and in the infobox you see "Place Llangynllo", which you click only to be brought right back to the railway station you started at, which is really annoying.
It would have been better not to have created any redirects, and instead amend articles where necessary from e.g. [[London Waterloo East]]
to [[London Waterloo East railway station|London Waterloo East]]
- in many cases the use of {{
stnlnk}}
would have worked, as in {{stnlnk|London Waterloo East}}
.
Please consider removing all these redirects again. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 12:27, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Basically if I think it could be a good faith edit I don't leave a warning, like the boy who's history teacher had died. Also if I think it's almost certainly a one-off. Sometimes I will go and leave a manual message if it's a conflict of interest or something like that. Usually, though I will leave a warning, because it records the vandalism and if other Hugglers also warn a pattern emerges. Sometimes I go straight to a short block for BLP vandalism. I don't expect I'm very consistent about it, although I try to be.

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles ( pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.
To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Opposition to the legalisation of abortion". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by July 27, 2011.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

I do not beileve that BHG was correct in speedily closing the David Gold RM as BHG has been involved in a discussions and is heavily in favour of retaining peerages in titles and supports unilateral moving of pages to peerage titles under auspices of NC:PEER. I beileve BHG has acted out of line in moving the page back, closing the RM and then leaving a warning on my talk page when they are not an univolved user in the discussion. Please can you give some help and advice on this matter. Many thanks -- Lucy-marie ( talk) 00:14, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, the correct criterion to cite here is WP:CSD#G8, not WP:CSD#R2. Cheers, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 11:43, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, regarding these redirects that you created - why were they all necessary?
In many cases the redlink was supposed to point to the place (town, village, locality, etc.) and not to the railway station. Most railway stations, are, after all, named after the places that they serve (a few places are named after the station but they are in a tiny minority). Whilst it is true that London Waterloo East could only refer to the railway station, many, such as Llangynllo are villages which haven't had an article created yet, and so should have remained as redlinks. If you're reading an article like Llangynllo railway station, you may be interested in the locality around the station; and in the infobox you see "Place Llangynllo", which you click only to be brought right back to the railway station you started at, which is really annoying.
It would have been better not to have created any redirects, and instead amend articles where necessary from e.g. [[London Waterloo East]]
to [[London Waterloo East railway station|London Waterloo East]]
- in many cases the use of {{
stnlnk}}
would have worked, as in {{stnlnk|London Waterloo East}}
.
Please consider removing all these redirects again. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 12:27, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at WP:ANI regarding the premature closing of the WP:RM discussion about David Gold. The thread is Premature close of RM proposal.The discussion is about the topic David Gold, Baron Gold. Thank you. — Born2cycle ( talk) 21:51, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up. I'm in the UK and was up rather late watching the superbowl so must have missed that part of the instructions. That said as Kittybrewster had been made aware of copyright concerns about her being raised at ANI and the fact that a CCI had been started was mentioned there I don't think there's been any harm done as they should have been aware of it anyway.

Thank-you for your tireless work in correcting the spelling of "accommodation" in articles such as Push-pull train and many others (I'm glad to see I'm not the only one to get this spelling wrong. According to the date I made that last change, I must have been using this laptop and missed the red underlining (although I do find I get quite a lot, especially as I haven't worked out how to change it to British spelling (ie en_GB)).

Basically if I think it could be a good faith edit I don't leave a warning, like the boy who's history teacher had died. Also if I think it's almost certainly a one-off. Sometimes I will go and leave a manual message if it's a conflict of interest or something like that. Usually, though I will leave a warning, because it records the vandalism and if other Hugglers also warn a pattern emerges. Sometimes I go straight to a short block for BLP vandalism. I don't expect I'm very consistent about it, although I try to be.

WRT Talk:State_of_Mexico#Requested_move_March_2011 - Would you support Mexico (Mexican state)? So at least we can get rid of the "State of"-form, which is unique among all states, compare Georgia (U.S. state), Hidalgo (state), Amazonas (Brazilian state), Amazonas (Venezuelan state). It is also ambiguous, since the country of Mexico is also a state. Chihuahua State ( talk) 16:44, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Amakuru - I am not very technical... just figuring out how to contact you took me an hour :) I would like to contribute an article on a Rwandan public health official to Wikipedia. Can you help me do it? Is it possible that you can contact me via email: jodijo@gmail.com. Thank you -jja Skipjo ( talk) 09:56, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles ( pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.
To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.

So what's the plan of action for Rwanda? Do you intend to jump right back all up ons for great justice, or let it sit for a few weeks to recharge your batteries? I realize that I didn't really have a lot to say during the FAC, but if there's any way you'd like me to help out now, you know where to find me. -- Cryptic C62 · Talk 17:33, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello! I'm sorry about this, but I've had to remove the cite you put into the Malden Manor article, because it is to a web resource which now appears to be unavailable and unreachable, and therefore cannot be verified, making it useless for citation purposes. Unfortunately, Google cache entries are evanescent, and cannot be relied on -- if you could find a copy of this resource in the Internet Archive or some other persistent document store, that would be much better. -- The Anome ( talk) 11:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Opposition to the legalisation of abortion". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by July 27, 2011.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

1. I tend not to give mileages unless a newspaper or another RS gives them. IMO sourcing a mileage to Google Maps seems like original research to me. 2. The lead needs to say "unincorporated" to make it clear to the reader that it's not in any municipality. WhisperToMe ( talk) 18:26, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I have reverted the edit you made to this article as the spelling used in his treatise was rather archaic. It may defeat modern spellcheckers, but "Accomodation" is the correct spelling for this purpose (as are "Secureing" and "Royall"). -- Daemonic Kangaroo ( talk) 17:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Nice work condensing the history section. I like how you have a paragraph for early settlement, one for the kingdoms period, one for colonization, one for the post-colonial era, etc. I think it's ready to be renominated... give it a shot. :) And yes I'm in Kigali now... if there are any photos you need for any of the Rwanda-related articles you're working on, let me know and I will try to get them for you.
