Per your request 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, 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. 7 10:11, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Marcello Dell'Utri

I found your edits rather pointless apart from the fact that you deleted valuable information about the sentence of the first court as to why Dell'Utri was sentenced. Moreover it is better to keep the chronology because the facts intermingle in the consecutive trials. And last but not least, it is better to first try to reach some consensus on talk pages before you make major deletions and changes. Frankly, your contributions did not really improve the article. And you did mess up sources about the 2004 sentence with the 2010 appeal, very confusing. I reverted it back to my last version, but as always, are open to real improvements. Thanks. - DonCalo (talk) 12:27, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, it is very childish to start complaining in another language to what apparently is your buddy administrator. Fortunately, he used his common sense. - DonCalo (talk) 13:06, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DonCalo, you are an edit warrior. It has been noticed at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive616#Mafia. Otto (talk) 14:31, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let us keep this civil, OK. Not everyone who disagrees with you is an edit warrior. - DonCalo (talk) 17:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that :-) Otto (talk) 19:14, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please provide a reference for the information you added to this article. I know the article is short on references, but that is no reason to keep on adding unsourced material. Thank you. - DonCalo (talk) 13:14, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have reacted on the talk page of the article. Otto (talk) 14:33, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
