Personally I would modify this slightly by even further acknowledging
that it's _ok_ for people doing newpages patrol (especially) to err in
the defense of quality, and that resurrecting a few things here and
there behind them is a small price to pay for avoiding another
Seigenthaler incident.
If there's a function I could build into my "Tasks" feature to
assist
out patrolling heroes, please let me know :-)
