Would it be an idea to make RC patrol organised, i.e. people (admins
or not) sign on for shifts, checking all edits in a given block of
time? Two patrollers for each time period should be enough, three or
four for evenings US time. You do RC patrol - would something like
this make sense?

(I don't know how long the time periods would be - an hour? 30
minutes? 10 minutes?)
