hi all,
to announce it here as well, just FYI: we made a little userscript (whoCOLOR) available that you can use with tamper-/greasemonkey in order to show original authors of text in any (english so far) wikipedia article. still far from perfect, but it works and it's already kind of useful I would say. you can download the prototype version here for trying out yourself: http://f-squared.org/whovisual/
code under MIT should be up on github in the next few days. any volunteers/collaborators/re-users for this are welcome of course. i have some ideas for further extension listed on the website and aaron also suggested making it into a gadget, which is another great idea.
cheers, fabian

Thanks Fabian. I'm forwarding this thread to Wikimedia-l, because I think that this tool will be of interest to many Wikipedians.
