When the finish the page they submit the form and it only makes the changes they specifically approved.

Don't know how practical this is with WikiPedia's software, but that is my suggestion.
How about something similar to http://ee.www.ee/filosoft/html_speller_en/ ?
There you either enter in the raw text or URL of where the text is that you want to check and then another page opens with possible misspells crossed out with asterisks next to them. You click on the asterisk and a HTML popup box displays some possible correct spellings.
