On the recent changes page, there's an option to "hide patrolled edits". "Patrolled edits" are edits which have been reviewed by a Sysop and determined not to be vandalism.

This is part of a feature in MediaWiki software intended to support wikis which allow anonymous edits.

When a Sysop views the recent changes pages, some edits are listed with a red exclamation mark: 

# (diff) (hist) . . ! Capitalism‎; 23:50 . . (+176) . . Hektor (Talk | contribs | block)

The exclamation point indicates that the edit has not been reviewed by a Sysop. When a Sysop has reviewed the edit and determine it isn't vandalism, he or she clicks the 'patrolled' button, and the edit is marked as patrolled. It then shows up as: 

# (diff) (hist) . . Capitalism‎; 23:50 . . (+176) . . Hektor (Talk | contribs | block)

This feature was designed for Wikipedia by User:Ed_Poor and Maveric147.
