If the regulars editing have some auto-flagging to approve their own
edits, surely they risk approving someone else's changes that were
made in between the time they loaded and read the page, and clicked
"edit this page"? To avoid this, you would need a warning saying "you
are approving other revisions, not just the one you are saving".

Personally, I think regulars need to encounter the same "delays" as
everyone else. It will open their eyes to what it is like editing
logged out or without an account (more reversion of edits).
