Patrolling and Amdocs Review

 * Did you see anything while patrolling this past week that would be interesting to discuss with the team?

When you are patrolling, do not edit &amp;nbsb's go into the newer revision or you will destroy newest revision. It is safer to do the patrolling and go back to edit. Start at the top of the day's edits. When you go to the patroll page, highlight the older page and put it in the search page and it wil take you to the most recent page.
