I am a (relatively) long time contributor to Wikipedia, primarily active in content creation. However, following a recent and rather vexing experience involving a user introducing potentially harmful changes to articles en masse without any sort of satisfactory communication with other editors, I have decided I want to become active in dealing with vandalism as well. ✠ Saltymagnolia ✠ 15:36, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

@Saltymagnolia, pending changes reviewer is for approving edits on articles with pending changes protection -- it does not affect your ability to revert vandalism. I'm happy to grant the permission, but I just want to double check you're clear on what this will let you do? Thanks, Giraffer (talk) 20:15, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

@Giraffer: if I understood correctly, it applies to pages with a certain level of protection, where edits by newer or anonymous users require manual approval, e.g. on the article for Margaret Sanger. I believe it would still be an asset. Thanks. ✠ Saltymagnolia ✠ 20:20, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
