I still remember my first Wikipedia edit, and how thrilling it was to have it go live right that instant. A heady mix of excitement and fear. I sure found it compelling. Of course, it's hard to generalize. I'd love to do an A/B test on this, as well as some qualitative tests with live users. That’s an interesting point.

I'm talking about how jarring it is not to have edits go live immediately. Oh yeah, it was quick, I’m not complaining about response time!

Your first edits didn't even wait five minutes. Your first edit went live in 2 minutes, your second one went live in one minute ( Compare the history with http://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Geelong%20win%202009%20Australian%20Football%20League%20Grand%20Final&diffonly=0&diff=cur&oldid=887360 to see where i'm getting my numbers from) Although to be fair, our response time is pretty good.

If you are a logged in user you can set preferences to show latest revisions in preference to the flagged ones. This may not always work following links from the front page where a Dynamic Page List *should* only offer up the latest flagged version. Yes, I sighted those revisions.
