What's a patrolled edit? I looked at a new page on jbo: and it asked me if I wanted to mark the page as "patrolled". I looked in the glossary on en: and other places on en: and meta and didn't find an explanation.

The idea is that by marking an edit or a new page as patrolled, you certify that someone has looked at it to check it's bona fide. It is a way to avoid that some edits get checked five times and others not at all.

We've attempted to explain this at the en Village Pump: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28news%29#Recent_change.... There's also discussion over how to improve the feature.
