There's a new tool and it's called Wikipedia scanner http://www.wired.com/politics/onlinerights/news/2007/08/wiki_tracker
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. http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/
