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, 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.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:31, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Death dates/cites

Hey. Thanks for your work in finding death dates/cites around Wikipedia. One thing - can you try and include a mention of death in the prose of the article with the accompanying citation when you do this, or add the cite at the end of the first sentence in the lead section of the article? Cites in the lifespan brackets contribute to a cluttered appearance of the lede sentence and they are better suited to back up statements in the article. Thanks. Connormah (talk) 07:54, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing - per WP:MOSDASH, an endash should be used for date ranges. Thanks again. Connormah (talk) 07:58, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deaths

Hello, and thank you for the work you're doing adding dates of death. It's good to see someone adding cites for this sort of thing, and filling in most of the relevant things that need changing. There are a couple more things that ought to change when a person is known to have died: one is the bit in the opening sentence that says "is a former footballer" or whatever should be changed to "was a footballer", and the other is on the article talk page, if you have the time, to change "living=yes" to "living=no". Keep up the good work, cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:16, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations and Thank You, Tommieboi!

Hello Tommieboi,

I just arrived on Wiki not long ago and came across Rev. Gilbert B. Rego stub! What a delight!

First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on your achievement - The Original Barnstar award! Now, I find that after more then a decade you would be retiring in 2023. I hope I'm not too late to say a big "Thanks" for your contributions.

On bishop Rego, I would definitely love to expand on that article, knowing him so well as our bishop emeritus. Awesome that you would put his name here on Wiki!

My very best to you and yours! Take good care, enjoy life, good health and blessings!
