When you are doing rapid repetitive changes... we have a userright called the flood flag we can issue you while you do that kind of work to keep your changes hidden from the recent changes. If you need it, let us know. Best, Jon@talk:~$ 00:50, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
heh... I'm sorry. Please then disregard my above. Your work being in the new changes is fine ;) and thank you for doing it. With kind regards, Jon@talk:~$ 00:58, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No prob. :-) I think I'll try a state or two a day, to try and spread it out a little and help keep RC somewhat less cluttered. -Avicennasis @ 01:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Could you at least mark your changes as minor so I can filter them? It's very hard patrolling actual changes and vandalism when they keep falling off the recent changes page.... --–Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû(blah?)01:36, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is difficult to guess what level of detail is needed in explaining the reasons for this change.
Please re-visit the article and the navbox on this page, including
"The UNESCO listing is for two separate areas where fossils from the Cenozoicperiod have been found. Riversleigh is in the north west corner of Queensland and Naracoorte is in the south east corner of South Australia. The Riversleigh site is part of the Lawn Hill National Park."
It's not a disambig page - just because it doesn't have a match on EnWp, we shouldn't rule out other wikis. It shouldn't be a concern now, anyways, as the page has an interwiki now. -Avicennasis @ 02:53, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Patrolling
Hi, Avicennasis. I noticed that you've been doing some patrolling lately. I have some concerns about some of the things you patrolled. I haven't checked everything, but here are some examples:
Everclear (band), Six Flags Fiesta Texas, La Ronde (amusement park): these articles don't say why their subjects are notable. When you patrol something like that, please either tag it to say it doesn't show notability, request quick deletion of it (if it qualifies for QD), or do a request for deletion.
Template:Kings Dominion, Template:Six Flags México, Template:SFNE Coasters, Template:Six Flags Fiesta Texas: these templates have no categories. They should have categories. If you aren't comfortable adding categories to templates, then you could leave templates for others to patrol.
If you have any doubt about a page, you can leave it for others to patrol. Feel free to let me know if you have questions about any of this. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:40, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive me. None of this is listed on Wikipedia:Patrollers as requirements for marking a page as patrolled. I'm not sure if it's mentioned elsewhere. But either way, I'll just leave patrolling to others. Thanks. -Avicennasis @ 09:41, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, that page doesn't explain what's expected when you patrol, just who gets to do it. I'll look into writing something about what to look for. In the meantime, I've added a link to the enwiki page that has information about it. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:06, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
