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".
Good point.
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).
Yes. That feature seems pretty problematic. It sounds like auto confirmation for established editors will make Wikipedia even more of a clique, by raising the barrier to entry.
