G'day Sherool, [CVU]
Whatever happened to just plain old "Recent Changes/RC patrol".
No, we can't have that, it's *boring*. We've gotta have fancy userboxen and copyvio logos and people declaring "war". Otherwise, why would anyone even *bother* fighting vandalism?
The difference is that RC Patrol is more of an idea, a job. CVU is a collection of people who subscribe to that idea and perform that job.
That's the way I see it, anyway.
That's yet another problem with the CVU. Every Wikipedian should be considered part of the collection of people who subscribe to the idea of keeping Wikipedia clean and neat. It's detrimental to have some people say "This is my job" because then everyone else goes "Goody! Now I don't have to worry about it."
