Rather than just having red exclamation points for unpatrolled pages, patrolled revisions should have (perhaps in small print) "[patrolled by SoAndSo]" next to them. That way, people can see who patrolled a page; depending on how trustworthy they view that patroller as being, they can check or not check the revision themselves for quality. I think in most cases, people don't bother to check the Patrol Log to see who is marking bad edits as patrolled; they just revert bad edits they find and do not say anything to the patroller. Also, some people check both patrolled and unpatrolled revisions because they don't know who patrolled it and whether that person can be trusted; this defeats the point of marking revisions patrolled. This enhancement will encourage more accountability and efficiency.
