Articles pending something or point dispute

 * Haiti's banks reopen - The New Mikemoral (Unclear how much points, as lots of people copyedited/contributed). Latest version is worth 5, but this appears to be the version by Mikemoral, which is worth three.
 * To put it quite simply, The New Mikemoral should have got five points for this, if you check with the character count tool. It's just that he forgot to add the hidden categories that he should have. Could somebody please do this? -- Rayboy8 ( my talk ) ( my contributions ) 17:28, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I clearly see and  at the bottom. It been here a while tho. -- Mike  moral  ♪♫  17:48, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Last prod, I think I should have 3 points before others added content. -- Mike moral  ♪♫  03:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Not sure, but the points table shows that I've written 22 articles, when in fact they are 26. :P Can someone check that please? --Diego Grez let's talk 21:57, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

(If your article has been reviewed and published and is not on the list, add it below) Do not add things to above list unless you also update the standings table. Photoessays are marked incorrectly by point counter script.
 * MisterWiki submitted: Chilean earthquakes: in pictures for 22 points. (Normalized/Raw chars:7451/15294; 3 pnts [as synth]+16 pts [per extra length]+3 pts [as OR]) This point total is wrong (photoessay).
 * It is worth 20 points if my calculations are correct. (5 pts for 8 images, 34 other images means you get 12 points, as 5 pics = 2 pts and 3 pts per OR) Pmlineditor discuss 11:46, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
