(snip)
I just can't see how it can ever be helpful to editors, but it might help a few journalists think up a story on a slow newsday. It even has a feature that lets you look up what has been edited in a particular IP range block. Test it out, if you seriously have nothing better to do.

I don't know about that, Mike. It's got good uses over here. I keep an eye on a number of related articles with sock-vandal interest, and I just ID'ed a couple of (static) IPs exclusively used for edit warring from 2004 to July 2007, and never been dealt with... as well as their (potential) next target area.
Irksome that such work is needed, useful that it's made easier. Thank you.
