Theo,
I don't know why you are seeing an indeterminedly old version, you may try to clean up your cache (=purge in the web address of your browser). May be I didn't make myself clear enough: Flagged Revvs doesn't require to wait for anything, you can only see the patrolling interface because you are a registered user. If you were a reader accessing RuWiki from an IP you wouldn't even have known that there is a patrolled or unpatrolled version, you'd just have seen the corrected coordinates.
You can compare Flagged Revvs to Soviet Union, after all, Jaron Lanier is sure that all wikipedians are "digital maoists" but there is a consensus in the RuWiki Community that Flagged Revvs do more good then harm and it is a step toward a better Wikipedia. Sorry, but I don't see how using a non-wikimedia software and a cache version of a random page, which everybody sees differently, proves anything.
Regards
Victoria

it had been patrolled = [отпатрулированная версия] anyway.
What about the message "Стабильная версия была проверена 28 сентября 2010. 1 изменение ожидает проверки." which is written now at the top of the history tab (1), and google-translates into English as "Stable version was tested on Sept. 28, 2010. 1, the change is awaiting moderation" ?

I have visited Russia only once in my life. It was a long time ago at the time of the USSR. I was making a long flight from Japan to Poland, and had to stop overnight at a hotel inside Moscow airport. Although I enjoyed the food, the beverage, the kindness of the stewardess, the landscapes with snow, lakes, forests inside the airplane, I disliked my stay at Moscow airport because people kept me waiting without telling why or how long. I think this is what Wikimedia is looking like with the so-called "flagged revisions" software : the USSR.
