[edit] Introduction

Patrolled edits are edits that an administrator has looked at. They are generally looked at to determine if the edits are formatted correctly and in compliance with the rules. All edits done by non-bots and non-admins are generally, but not always looked at to insure that. Users who have been put in the auto patrolled user group will not have their edits looked at by an administrator. Their edits will automatically be marked as patrolled.

[edit] Rationale

A special class of users was created where their edits will not be monitored. The group belongs to a user group called Autopatrol. Fan History's administrators decided to create this special class of users because we have a few regular contributors who consistently make great edits and they can come in and sometimes make a few hundred edits in the course of the week. That's a lot of edits to mark as reviewed when admins know from past experience that all those edits are likely to be good ones. To save time and make it easier to look at edits that need to be looked at more, this group was created.

[edit] Disclaimer

Fan History administrators make every effort to patrol edits for violations of the site's rules. Because our staff is volunteer run, our staff is unpaid and our admins have lives and other interest, we cannot promise that every edit that is done by users who are not in the non-patrolled category will be looked at. The site is not responsible for the content created, updated and added by contributors. If you discover an edit that violates the rules or that you are otherwise concerned about, please contact an administrator at support@fanhistory.com or leave a comment on the appropriate talk page.
