Mark patrolled pages?
At the dutch Wikipedia I (or any registered user) always had the option to mark a recent change as patrolled. I couldn't find this option/feature here. Do you have something like that here? And if not, how do you know which recent changes have been checked for vandalism? F r e e style 22:01, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * We don't know if it's been checked. It's available here, but I think it's disabled for performance reasons that I don't know. -- (Review Me) R Parlate Contribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 00:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * A huge amount of inefficiency results from many editors looking at the same edits. I load Recent Changes set for only fifty edits, go immediately to the top change, immediately hit the Twinkle vandal button, and, easily two times out of three, it's already been reverted. (Usually with Huggle.) I don't know how the Dutch do it, but I would guess that for a registered user, other than accidentally, to put a patrolled tag on a vandalism edit, would be taken as seriously as vandalism itself. Presumably, the user would need to be at least auto-confirmed. Perhaps having rollback could be taken as a mark of being trusted sufficiently. (I don't have rollback, but I'd ask for it just for this purpose, if that were in place.)
 * Yet, if I go down the changes list a bit and look at articles that interest me, I often find vandalism that was missed, apparently. Our process is too hit-and-miss; instead of redundancy making sure that everything is caught, we have needless duplication with gaps. --Abd (talk) 14:33, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
