Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view ↗

Explore, be bold in editing pages ↗, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

You are now a Reviewer

right|130px ↗
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|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) 02:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes ↗, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

May 21st at Northeastern University's Snell Library ↗, in the Digital Scholarship Commons on the second floor

May 22nd at Brown University's Rockefeller Library ↗, in the Digital Scholarship Lab

June 25th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (exact location TBA) ↗, where we will also be hosting a "how to conduct an edit-a-thon" session beforehand

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
