I am a page patroller; whether it's recent change, new page, or random page patrolling, I've done it. For now, I am random page patrolling, with the occasional Google search for things I'm interested in, flitting from page to page, copyediting, wikifying, tagging/untagging, and updating/adding Wikiproject banners.
