Some time ago as a Python/Django/JQuery/pywikipedia exercise I&#39;ve hacked a web based recent changes patrol tool. An alpha version can be seen at the: <a href="http://www.wpcvn.com" target="_blank">http://www.wpcvn.com</a><br>

<br>It includes a few interesting features that may be useful to the community (&amp; researchers designing similar tools):<br>
1. tool uses editors ratings, primarily based on user counters (includes reverted revisions counters) calculated using the wiki dump;<br>2. site members can see each other reviewing;<br>3. site members can see edits being reverted (with ratings of the reverting editor);<br>

4. site members can confirm their nicknames (bind to the account on the Wikipedia, the tool can catch/identify a GUID in the edit comment to WP:SANDBOX);<br>5. can aggregate IRC feeds from bots (currently only 
MiszaBot is supported).<br><br>WPCVN yet another collaborative <i>(it shows other users actions - patrols and reverts)</i> Web 2.0 RC patrol tool that runs in a browser. It has been tested with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox" title="Firefox" class="mw-redirect">Firefox</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IE" title="IE" class="mw-redirect">IE</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome" title="Google Chrome">Google Chrome</a>. Currently operates for en-wiki only in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_testing" title="Alpha testing" class="mw-redirect">alpha</a>
 mode. WPCVN aggregates recent changes IRC feed, IRC feed from the 
MiszaBot and WPCVN user actions. It also uses pre-calculated Wikipedia 
users &quot;karma&quot; (based on the recent en-wiki dump analysis) to separate 
edits made by users with clearly good or bad reputation. The tool is 
open source (LGPL) and uses JQuery/JQueryUI + Django backend.<br><br>-- Regards, Dmitry<br>
