This is especially prevalent when there is a small spate of vandalism. I try to make sure I always check the current version against something further down the page, but it's hard to remember to do in all cases. Perhaps if it was easier (i.e., with a single click and without any looking at the history) to see the diff for the edits done by the most recent five users (sorting it by user rather than edit would make it easier to avoid skipping single bad edits)? Maybe if there was a regularized system of evaluating many edits at a time and screening them for problematic content? Maybe we need to find ways to get around seeing histories as collections of single edits and rather as clusters of edits? I don't exactly know. I'm just speculating wildly here and not proposing anything concrete.
This is possible with my greasemonkey script. I will really try to release it properly. There's a screenshot here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image%3AEnhanceHistory-ShowerJuggl...
Would that help?
