Hmmm. I can see it being nice, I can see it being unmanageable and full of noise. Your thoughts? What would English Wikipedia do with something like this?

An interesting idea, but I cannot see it working on Wikipedia. A good chunk of the correcting that happens relates to BLP problems, which clearly we don't want to put into a nice big list. Probably our History tab serves the function as well, as it gives times and dates of edits and can be used to determine how long a particular segment of information has remained in an article. Having a separate list makes more sense in a restricted editing environment, but it does not seem workable on our open editing project, at least not until all edits are prescreened for validity. Even with stable versions, I don't see that happening for a very long time.
