The process of reviewing is intended as a quick check to ensure edits don't contain <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism" title="Wikipedia:Vandalism">vandalism</a>, violations of the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons" title="Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons">policy on living people</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_violations" title="Wikipedia:Copyright violations">copyright violations</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOT#Encyclopedic_content" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOT">other obviously inappropriate content</a>. </p><p>Currently, there are <a href="/wiki/Special:ListUsers/sysop" title="Special:ListUsers/sysop">851</a> administrators and <a href="/wiki/Special:ListUsers/reviewer" title="Special:ListUsers/reviewer">8,026</a> pending changes reviewers on the English Wikipedia.

A reviewer only ensures that the changes introduced to the article are broadly acceptable for viewing by a casual reader. The reviewer checks the pending change(s) for an article and can then decide to either accept it, revert it or modify it then later accept it. Reviewers are not expected to be subject experts, and their review is not a guarantee in any way of an error-free article. They are expected to have a reasonable editing history, distinguish what is and what is not vandalism, and be familiar with basic content policies. Reviewer rights are granted by administrators; and in cases of misuse of the right or to protect Wikipedia from possible misuse, the rights can be removed by an administrator.

If you accept ("Accept revision" button), the comment is entered in the review log.</i></div> <p><b>If all the edits were made by one editor</b>, then check if they are clear vandalism or not. If the most recent edit is clear vandalism, it is reasonable to assume they are all vandalism, and you may revert the changes without comment. If it isn't clear vandalism, then you should check if there are any of the obstacles to accepting described above (sneaky vandalism, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BLP">BLP</a> violations, etc.). If there are obstacles to accepting, then you should revert with an explanatory comment or edit the page to ensure compliance, such as by reverting citing BLP violations, or modifying the text to remove copyright problems. After a revert the new revision is automatically accepted, while if you edited the article and dealt with all obstacles to accepting, you may subsequently accept. </p><p>In ambiguous cases, reverting is not the default option; you should properly investigate the case or leave it for a second opinion. For example, if information is modified without a new source, which may be sneaky vandalism, you should not presume vandalism but check whether the article has an existing source for it, which may have changed as well (e.g. number of YouTube views, box office results, etc.). If no source is provided, you may search for one and if none is straightforward but there are no reasonable reasons to believe the new edit is vandalism, it is acceptable, but if on balance you estimate that the edit is more likely to be vandalism, you should not accept and may revert. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Acceptable_edits" data-mw-thread-id="h-Acceptable_edits-Reviewing_process"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Acceptable_edits-Reviewing_process"></span>Acceptable edits<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Acceptable_edits-Reviewing_process"></span></h3></div> <p><b>If there are no obstacles to accepting</b>, then it is presumed that the new revision is acceptable. You should treat the edits as you would habitually, following the appropriate policies and guidelines. It is not necessary for you to ensure compliance with the content policies on <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NPOV">neutral point of view</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:V" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:V">verifiability</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OR">original research</a> before accepting, but of course you are free to uphold them as you would normally with any edit you happen to notice. For example, in case of additions for which you can find no reference in the article but estimate unlikely to be vandalism, treat them as you would treat any such edit: do nothing, tag as needing citation, provide an appropriate citation, or revert—depending on the situation at hand. In general, there are three options: </p> <ul><li>If you intend to do nothing regarding the changes, then accept the new revision. Accepting doesn't prevent you from later editing the article to address any concerns you may still have, or bring up an issue with the user, or at the article talk page. Consider thanking or welcoming constructive new users.</li> <li>If you intend to ultimately revert the changes, then you may do so from the reviewing interface with an appropriate explanation, but as for all reverts they must be supported by policy. It isn't necessary for you to accept the revision before reverting even if you determine that there are no obstacles to accepting, as reverts are quick, accepting or not would yield the same end result and no policy prevents users (therefore reviewers) from editing pages with unreviewed revisions.</li> <li>If you intend to edit the article regarding the changes (such as adding a citation, citation needed, fixing typos, removing some of the additions, etc.), then you may accept immediately then edit the page. While you may also edit then accept, note that during this time the edit remains unreviewed, so it should be avoided if you anticipate taking some time.</li></ul> <p>Accepting, immediately or after some modifications, is the default position, and even if an edit may appear suboptimal, this is in itself not a reason to revert, as for all edits, since they may yet be improved. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Reviewing_edits_by_multiple_users" data-mw-thread-id="h-Reviewing_edits_by_multiple_users-Reviewing_process"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Reviewing_edits_by_multiple_users-Reviewing_process"></span>Reviewing edits by multiple users<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Reviewing_edits_by_multiple_users-Reviewing_process"></span></h3></div> <p>If the pending edits were made by multiple editors, bear in mind there may have been a good edit that has been removed by subsequent vandalism.

Undo any edit that is vandalism, a BLP violation, or unacceptable according to reviewing criteria. Each undo will create a new edit under your username, but will not be automatically accepted. Leave acceptable edits in place, unreviewed.</li> <li>You won't be able to undo an edit if there has been a later edit affecting the same line. In this case, you can either undo all the edits from the first to the last affecting that line, in one batch, or you can accept the first edit and manually revert it afterwards.</li> <li>Once you are satisfied that all inappropriate edits have been undone, you will be left with acceptable edits.

It can only be done from the reviewing interface and is unrelated to the action of reverting an edit. You should generally not unaccept revisions, except to undo yourself if you realize you have made a mistake, because it only pushes the page back to <a href="/wiki/Special:PendingChanges" title="Special:PendingChanges">Special:PendingChanges</a> on latest revisions and has no effect on old revisions. If you have concerns with an accepted revision, then edit the article to address the concerns. If you think a revision should not have been accepted, you may discuss the issue with the reviewer if you feel this is needed. Automatically accepted revisions should generally not be unaccepted, even if they were vandalism, because there is no benefit in doing so (it only removes the [automatically accepted] tag appended to it in the history). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Reviewing_pending_changes_on_mobile" data-mw-thread-id="h-Reviewing_pending_changes_on_mobile"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Reviewing_pending_changes_on_mobile"></span>Reviewing pending changes on mobile<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Reviewing_pending_changes_on_mobile"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Reviewing_pending_changes_on_mobile","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>For mobile users with this permission, you can use the "accept revision" button at the bottom of any page with pending changes protection to accept pending edits.
