 * Thank you, Kayau :) (See you at MOTD!) Sonia (talk) 22:44, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm on an enforced wikibreak over at WP, so I'm only active here. I won't be back at the MOTD till June, except the occasional annonymous editing. Sorry.  Kayau  David Copperfield  MOBY DICK   the great gatsby  13:21, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ach, oh well. So should I be... I have exams next week. But simpleWP is having a competition that I actually have a decent chance of scoring well in. (I'm not much of a content builder, but it's so much easier on simple than en. I migrated when I was on a wikibreak, much like you did, I guess.) Sonia (talk) 09:25, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

FYI
You see, the Wikibooks' FlaggedRevs system's purpose is under dispute. Some editors think that the purpose is for QC, but most agree that it's for vandalism patrol. Either way, currently new pages that are not vandalism are sighted at once. But if you look at special:oldreviewedpages, there's a lot of unreviewed pages, which means (obviously) FlaggedRevs is not turned on there. So, even without your changing those pages, they would be visible immediately. Also, NZ is a strange time zone, but I can tell you that User:Panic2k4 (and I, of course, but you know my home wiki is enwp) also works at odd times.

 * Okay, but I don't know exactly what that means. I've worked with both the WB and WP version of flaggedrevs on different test wikis, but I'm (obviously) more familiar with "Pending Changes", as it's called. Yes, from watching RC there are a good number of people online at "odd times", so I sit on RC watching out on quiet days- otherwise I leave it for you people who know what you're doing...! And as you can see from my lack of edits, most of the time that's what I end up doing. I just thought I'd make it clear just in case I do something ridiculously against policy or something.

Sorry to be a bother but I just spotted you in RC so I'm wondering if you could lend me a helping hand at a couple of books I'm working on, Geometry for Elementary School and Chinese Stories. I've just realised I'm working on a lot of books. :) I've asked for help from someone I know in real life, but he decided to stick to Wikia. :( Thanks, Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 05:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Um... okay. What would you have me do? Sonia (talk) 05:35, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Any work would be greatly appreciated! Copy-edits, drawing diagrams, writing modules, anything, really. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 05:56, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * All right! Just note that I can't be investing much time, because I have scholarship examinations in November, and I will have to stop studying if I can't get a scholarship. In one week my orchestra's doing a big concert, I'll take a look after then. May be able to help contribute content for the geometry one or any additional math/music books as I've tutored in both for the last few years. Sonia (talk) 06:13, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That's great, thanks! Wish you best of luck in both the exams and the concert. Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 06:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
