What is "patrolling" and why does someone always check my book collection efforts? It really is creepy. It also suggests that the "thought" police are never far away from our keyboards. I understand completely that Wikipedia and its' tools are subject to all kinds of rules and regulations but I'm not engaging in activity that breeches any of those conditions. I'm also a financial supporter of Wikipedia so I do my part to help further the exchange of free ideas (which does not entitle me to any flexibility of the rules) in this environment that I enjoy and cherish so much. The thought of "patrolling" really is discouraging to me--like an aggressive lifeguard at the pool of knowledge. Scary and creepy. Themandana (talk) 16:35, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Patrolling's nothing to be scared of, or get discouraged by. It's just one of many routine maintenance tasks that anyone can volunteer to do. This includes you! See WP:PATROL for more info. 188.125.130.31 (talk) 11:59, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
