Reviewer granted

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 revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was 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 grant you status nor 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 user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:04, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Edits reverted: Digvijay Singh

The page on indian politician Digvijay Singh has a section titled "Controversies" where a paragraph was clearly POV pushing on a recent controversy. The original paragraph was as follows: In December 2010, Digvijay Singh facing a low ebb in his political carrer, made several comments in the Media claiming that Mumbai ATS Chief Mr.Hemanth Karkare called him hours before he was killed, talking to him about threats to his life. During the same time US Wikileaks cables disclosed the views of US Ambassador about Congress party "playing religious politics" and "crass political opportunism” in plating doubts regarding Mr.Karkare's murder by Pakistani terrorits.

The language used clearly gives the POV of one side, and that is that of the BJP, the principal opposition party ("facing a low ebb in his polical career"?? Based on whom?).

I had edited it to a more neutral language, while still retaining the original references in full and adding new references. The aim is to give both sides of the story and not to push one POV.

New entry made by me: In December 2010, Digvijay Singh gave several interviews in the Media claiming that Mumbai ATS Chief Mr.Hemanth Karkare called him hours before he was killed, talking to him about threats to his (Karkare's) life from Hindu extremist groups. Hemanth Karkare in his role as chief of the Mumbai ATS had found incriminating evidence implicating several individuals with known RSS links and was facing a barrage of attacks including from right-wing politicians like Lal Krishna Advani who publicly called Karkare a "desh-drohi" (traitor). During the same time US Wikileaks cables quoted cables sent by the US Ambassador about Congress party "playing religious politics" and "crass political opportunism” in plating doubts regarding Mr.Karkare's murder by Pakistani terrorits. . Coming on the eve of the WikiLeaks cables, this caused a lot of heat in the media. Digvijay repeated the allegations in his address to the Congress plenary session saying that the right-wing extremism of the kind perpetrated by the RSS and SIMI represented a grave threat to national unity. Equating the RSS to the Nazi's he accused the RSS of being involved in a number of terrorist strikes across the country. Further in the same speech, he demanded a CBI enquiry into the mysterious murder of Sunil Joshi, an RSS activist accused of being involved in the Ajmer dargah blasts, alleging that Joshi was murdered because "he knew too much".

Skaters with haters

Regarding this deleted article, you reverted an editor who blanked the article. In this particular case, the author who blanked the article was the original author. Instead of reverting and warning him, you should tag the blanked article with {{db-blanked}}. It is a pretty common thing for new editors who get their first article tagged for speedy deletion to just blank out the entire article without comment. -- Gogo Dodo (talk)

ok thanks for letting me know
