Hello

Hello User:Quintucket, I noticed your edit to the Turkish wikibook, and it led me here. Welcome to the wikibooks project! Good luck in your quest to increase your knowledge of Turkish. --Thereen (discuss • contribs) 07:12, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Good luck with your French. --Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 07:57, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I noticed you wish to change the name of Turkish/Lesson Six - Geography of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. I am auto-confirmed, so if you have another name in mind, I would gladly move the pages required. --Thereen (discuss • contribs) 08:55, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Sure, if you would. It's not urgent, but since "Lesson Six" is A. a book in itself, and B. doesn't teach any Turkish, except for placenames, I feel that it would be better suited as an appendix, and to shorten the insanely long name while at it. I'd therefore like to move Turkish/Lesson Six - Geography of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and its subpages to Turkish/Geography of Turkey and the TRNC. Thanks, Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 06:36, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Rewikification of imports

You can ask for a bot to rewikify (reactivate redlinks and link even to locally available subjects/books) by asking at User talk:Hethrir for that bot action on those pages. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 10:49, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. But because I'm trying to create a textbook, I'm going to be dewikifying almost the entire thing, and deleting large sections, so it makes more sense, I think, to do it manually. --Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 21:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Reviewing

I have now given you these rights as per your discussion. I couldn't see any reasons not to give you these rights.--ЗAНИA ^talk 21:55, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! :) --Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 21:58, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Note that the process for granting the flag has ended. The rest is a discussion on policy and processes, I'm not asking for the flag to be removed.
I'm only calling attention to the consistency of the the process and on the light that if they are not respected the requirements should be discussed. For instance under the current requirements there is a need for having an active email on the project (you have, and there are good reasons for that to be so, especially when we enter in the aspects regarding the higher levels of quality review) but there are active reviewers that do not meet that requirement (note that we have admins that would also fail that requirement).

You have now the capacity to do a rollback, note that it will revert all consecutive edits of that editor. I myself have used it in error on my own edits, probably 3 times, while I intended to do a simple undo. Panic (discuss • contribs) 00:56, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Well thank you. I continue to disagree with your interpretation of policy, but I understand your position.

As for rollback, I fully understand how to use it, and how not to. And I think you raised an interesting point, which is that reviewers shouldn't necessarily need to be rollbackers. Like I said, I requested the flag only because having to see all of the unaccepted changes when I try to edit, preview, and especially preview changes make things rather frustration. I've never requested the rollbacker right on Wikipedia because I've never seen a need for it. And vandalism isn't nearly as big a problem here as it is on some other projects. --Quintucket (discuss • contribs) 01:01, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
