I do it this way on my watchlist. Rather than check everything, I sometimes compare an article now, to when I last saw it, and look for material added and removed, changes etc. Then if there is a serious reduction in quality on some section, I can help to propose additions to fix it. I find that approach fairly time efficient.

Has anyone floated the idea of a second "diff' button on Special:Watchlist to cover a slightly longer period?
I was just thinking this could do two things: 1.) Make it easier to catch vandalism, and 2.) Promote review of changes in general.
I don't do much vandalism patrol, but I think one reason pages lose quality in general is that tracking long watchlists is too difficult. You either check every edit, or if you don't, then you have to navigate through page histories which requires a.) several clicks and b.) recalling when you were last up to date.
If so, a longer one-click option would seem beneficial. Something like 10 or 20 edits, maybe (or even adjustable, like the watchlist's length). Thoughts?
