Some time in early 2010 I noticed that my new articles are not checked by anybody, and that obvious errors remain there for a long time. After some "detective work" I discovered the reason, someone had set the autopatrolled flag for me without letting me know. Because only one other editor is[update] roaming the same area as I, I considered requesting the removal of this permission to get at least one more pair of eyes to check my creations at New Page Patrol. At about the same time I discovered Did You Know and figured that it was the more efficient method to have someone check what I write.
Since then, I tried to get every new article to Start class and to DYK, sometimes somewhat by force. It was not always possible, though, as often there is just not more to say than what fits in four lines of text. When the DYK process became more work-intensive in late 2011 I cut down my DYK submissions a bit because the review of other submissions takes a lot of time and effort. I also nominate DYKs of other users, see below.
