You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Misplaced Pages:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Fluorescent lamp photo
I am the photographer of the fluorescent lamp glowing under the power lines. I did use Photoshop to crop and sharpen the picture but it is entirely accurate. I shoot in Nikon RAW so I do not use any in camera color correction or sharpening.
I set the equipment up before dusk so I had enough light to focus properly. I originally had the tube (an 8 footer) clamped in the middle but the glow below the clamp was distinctly dimmer so I moved the lamp up for the real shot.
And just for fun, here's a shot of a compact fluorescent glowing. I took this the night before, along with some of the 8' tube hand held. The short exposure required to defeat my inevitable shaking of the lamps required a high ISO that made the photos too grainy for my taste. That's what led to the clamped shots the next night. BTW, the green streak is a lightning bug flying through the scene.
