I say "probably" and "potential" because there is also the argument that could be used that the edit history pages are an archive that allows for infringement of sorts as fair use in an archive is usually honoured to a high degree and Title 17 USC sec. 108 allows archives to maintain copies of otherwise copyrighted material, and sec. 107 would also operate in such a situation.
Got boilerplate?
Check the photocopy machine in any public library in the USA.
Here is one that is used by the U of Mass: http://www.lib.umassd.edu/SPpages/copy.html If need be it can be adapted to be posted on the page histories if consensus so decrees.
