It does, yes. Some of the articles I watch are infrequently edited, but if someone comes along and vandalizes them or inserts blatant POV, I want to be sure to see it. As far as the vandalism goes, it may come as a shock to some, but not every vandalism is caught--I recently found a country page that had been vandalized nearly two months earlier.

I'm probably going to keep watching [[Zoo]] indefinitely, to see what else of interest is added and make copyediting passes after people add information. I'm sure I'm not the only person who uses the watchlist this way.
