:I'm also for at least the autopatrolled list, the edits are of good quality and you're consistent about correcting your own mistakes (which is AWESOME!). Plus, it would leave a lot less edits to patrol lol. As of right now, I'm up to edits from April 8th... {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 21:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== Patrolling ==
Congrats on your promotion!! I thought I'd leave a few tips here in case you aren't familiar with how rollback/patrolling works. :)
On the Recent Changes, edits that haven't been patrolled yet will have a red exclamation mark beside them. If you click the "diff" option on the left, it will show you the difference between that revision and the previous one and give you the option to "mark as patrolled."
What you're basically patrolling for is the factuality and quality of the edit. If the edit doesn't need to be revised, or if you'll be revising it yourself, then mark the edit as patrolled so other patrollers will know that the edit has been checked. If you aren't sure if an edit needs fixing or if the info is correct, either do a little research and come back to it or leave it for someone else to check.
Finally, the rollback option that appears on the right in the Recent Changes lets you revert all the edits made consecutively by a particular user to a previous revision by a different user. You don't get the option to edit the page though, like you do with the undo button, so use it carefully!
You can also change how the Recent Changes looks for you using the option to Hide or Show patrolled edits. These can be permanently toggled in your preferences.
Let me know if you have any questions!! :) {{:User:Embyr_75/sig}} 05:44, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
