hello,
I made my first edits in the liquipedia this month and a few are already accepted (took a few days) but very similar edits that would be accepted since its basically the same edit for other campaign missions are not accepted yet and I am wondering how the revision progress works and how long it usually can take? my edits are all about campaign missions or achievements or custom maps.
Welcome and congratulations!
As for the revision process itself, whenever someone (who is a normal user) edits a page, the page gets added to the page Pages with pending changes. Then everyone who is at least an editor can manually accept the edits. Unfortunately, that can sometimes be kind of boring and not too many people do it, so it tends to follow a pattern where someone gets really into it, cleans out the entire backlog, keeps it clean for a while and then gets burnt out and leaves and so the backlog keeps building up again.
However, editors usually have a set of articles on their watch list, so if you're lucky, someone is watching the page you've edited and they may approve the edit even though they do not keep an eye on the pending changes list. On the flip side, that means that if you're unlucky and no one watches the page you've edited and no one is currently obsessing about cleaning out the backlog, then you may find that your edit goes unreviewed for quite a while even though other edits get approved. Also, some edits are easy to accept (like typos etc) while others require a certain level of decision-making, and sometimes an editor may be up for the "easy" edits, but not those that require a proper decision.
All in all, there's not really any defined process in which you can reliably predict when a certain edit is going to get reviewed. Thus, as shz says, getting someone's attention on IRC is probably the fastest way to get an edit reviewed.

Heya.
Just dropping by to let you know that I've made edits adding a link to the aligulac profiles of the players from the teams KT, STX, Woongjin, T8, ACE, Entus, Khan, NSH, Axiom as well as some other individual players. Hopefully, once approved, these links will prove to be useful.
Cheers.

wow thanks for that detailed explanation  how do you become an editor and i thought about the irc thing, but i dont want to be too annoying, especially not as a newbie here

You're welcome Usually, you get auto-promoted to editor once you get a silver coin if I remember correctly [Edit: But I didn't. See post below /edit]). It is also possible for Administrators to manually promote (or demote) people, but it happens very rarely, I think, although it happens every now and then.
You can kind of extrapolate a lot of the underlying mechanics of LP just by looking around at the  Special:SpecialPages located under Toolbox on the left side of the main page. Special:ListGroupRights is especially telling.

Just a note here: Coins and editor promotions are not that closely tied to each other. I think we've seen people with 3-4 bronze become editors and you can also possibly get to a few silvers before becoming an editor. (well theoretically you can get to 4 golds before becoming editor, hopefully we'd notice such a person and manually promote them before they get there though, also the day only has 24 hours etc etc.)

Huh, guess I remembered incorrectly then, or just never understood it properly. I suspect this has something to do with flying monkeys, who, after all, are known to move in mysterious ways.
|
Out of curiosity, what's the ratio of contributions to coins? Like, say, a user with one bronze coin, how many contributions has he made to LP? etc

The only way for you to find a 100% accurate answer to this question is to make contributions to LP.
The moment you have one bronze coin stop and count your contributions.

It seems that your view is zoomed in, which is causing the problem.
I'll try to fix it anyway, thanks for the report.

@Azhrak: I think I fixed it, tell me if you can still see the bug.
@SlyBeetle: try with another web browser, and if this still does not work, I'm sorry, we have some issues with cookies currently.

I tried with all my browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Windows Internet Explorer 8, Opera) and this does not work.

Hi !
Why edits are not always update when I'm not log in ? When I check results on the mobile website for example

When you are logged in you see pending changes on pages. If you aren't you see the latest approved revision.

To add to that we currently have quite a large backlog of edits to approve, which we need to get through.
