Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

Taiwan Barnstar

The Republic of China Barnstar of National Merit

I hope I have the authority to give this out, and anyone who might say something about it, it's really just a kind gesture.
Chipmunkdavis, you already know, but I'll remind you of all the work you've done with me on the Taiwan Proposal on my userspace, which now is an RM, and hopefully will be a reality. You've done a lot between discussing problems and giving comments about it, to putting in major parts of articles so that they would fit the way the proposal is written. So, I'd like to take this barnstar to thank you for all you've done.

Great job! I would suggest moving up Geography below history and adding a section on Architecture covering notable landmarks and building styles and Media covering newspapers, TV and radio. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:01, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Culture has been tough to dig up quality sources on; I'm vaguely hoping to build out the Culture article. I can source sacred house design. There are many sources that mention Portuguese influence in the architecture of old Dili, but I haven't got anything comprehensive. Media, so far I haven't got much (and I need it for Dili#Culture!).
