+Reviewer
I single-handedly wrote the below five recipes for the cookbook:


 * cookbook:Red paella


 * cookbook:Arroz negro


 * cookbook:Seafood paella


 * Cookbook:Spaghetti alla Puttanesca


 * cookbook:Spaghetti alle vongole in rosso

Also, I rewrote Valencian paella and I've contributed to several others.


 * Symbol support vote.svg Support A long editing history since March on Cookbook recipes and a great deal of time spent on each recipe ensuring quality. Hopefully, though, if this is granted, this user will use the tool to keep Special:OldReviewedPages to a minimum as well as reviewing recipes shown not to be copy-pastes from somewhere else. -- Adrignola talk contribs 22:30, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

My questions regarding editing

 * I just checked my log and it says that I was auto promoted to editor but the time stamp indicates it happened before I made the above request. What's the difference between a contributor and an editor? Can an editor review books? Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 17:41, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * See Reviewer. --Panic (talk) 18:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I should be able to review non-featured books and pages according to this link . However, I tried that and I don't seem to have the ability. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong. I read through a page, made a small edit and saved it. However, I didn't see the reviewed flag on the page. Something is obviously amiss. However, even if I am an editor, I'm still interested in becoming a Reviewer because it allows me to review featured books and pages. Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 20:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * To verify your flags, go to your Wikibook preferences and see in "User profile" -> "Member of groups:" you should have the two flags both "...Editors, Reviewers,...".
 * To review pages you go bottom of the page you wish to review and do it. I think auto-review was disabled for now. --Panic (talk) 20:23, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, I followed your instructions and I figured out how to review a page as an editor and I verified my status on my preferences page. However, I don't see the eye-shaped reviewed icon on the page I reviewed. Why not? Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 21:12, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I never noticed that icon, can it depend on the Wikibooks skin you are using? (if not, hopefully someone else will reply to you on that point). --Panic (talk) 23:24, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've never seen the icon either. Geoff Plourde (talk) 02:20, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

The "eye" does not show on a reviewed page. It shows on pages that will always show the latest edit, such as the Main Page where flagged revisions has been modified. Cookbook:Paella recipes, which you recently reviewed does not have an eye icon, or a circle-bar icon either because the latest sighted revision is the one shown. Should a page not be reviewed, such as How to Write a Good Book for Children, the circle-bar icon will show. That icon also appears if edits have been made since the last sighted revision was approved. You can get an eye if you go to your preferences under Stability and change to the simple user interface, which removes the bar across the width of the page and forces an icon showing unreviewed, draft, or sighted in the top-right corner. -- Adrignola talk contribs 03:41, 23 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all the help regarding my status as an editor. I appreciate it. Also, please remember to leave a comment above regarding my request to be promoted to a reviewer. Moby-Dick4000 (talk) 15:05, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
