Then you have to answer a CAPTCHA test question - or (better) be given permission to make fast edits when logged in.

I don't know much about bots - but they must be much faster then humans at making changes? Would it be possible to reject edits that happen less than 5 seconds after the page is served? and/or ask users to take a CAPTCHA test if they were making an edit to a page less than 15 seconds after it was served?
i sure can fix a typo in less than 5 seconds using the jEdit plugin, provided that the server is fast enough. but i cannot fix many typos one after another in a short time.
