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".
Oooh, this is an *interesting* problem, especially with section editing. Auto-flagging of own revisions seems to be something you can turn on or off, at least for the two semi-protected states:
"REVIEWERS: Can edit; a new edit is visible immediately if the previous version is already confirmed or when the option "confirm this revision" is selected; otherwise left unconfirmed"
I'm guessing this is an opt-in system, and we'll have to encourage people only to use it on low-traffic pages. Hmm.
