FYI edit

I suggest you be careful about what User:Keystoneridin is telling you. Their response to your post on their talkpage was riddled with inaccuracies. They have removed my corrections, and I have no doubt will remove them again, so in case you haven't read it here is my original response to what you posted:

  • Sorry, but I have to intervene here. You should not be giving 'classes' on how to edit Wikipedia when your understanding of how Wikipedia works appears to be so deficient. You are unlikely to be blocked, unless you persist in misrepresenting sources in articles. It is not that the links were not 'properly located,' it is that you claimed the links said things which they categorically did not say. The fact that you don't understand this is a problem is an even bigger problem. Second, you should not be telling new users to "get [their] edits up," see here for why. Third, there is no magic threshold in one's edit count that suddenly allows one to "do more things on Wikipedia" once one has passed autoconfirmed, which for most users is 10 edits and 4 days active.

New deal for page patrollers edit

Hi Moveindate,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
