We need a way to lock revisions from public view, separately from deleting the article. A locked revision would remain in the edit history (showing the date and editor who made it) but would not be viewable (nor could a diff be constructed against it) except by an administrator. The ability to lock (and unlock) revisions needs to be restricted to admins. That would take care of the libel and copyvio issues.
It's almost enough to get me coding again.

Yes but unfortunately as it is now edit summaries are always viewable to anyone even when deleted which the vandals have figured out and are now using to get away with slander and privacy policy violations which it takes a developer to remove. If something like this is implemented admins should have the ability to also hide the edit summary from being seen by non admins
