The University of Santa Cruz/California has an interesting demo up
that computes author trust based on whether users' edits are
kept/improved or reverted. It then highlights passages of the text
according to the computed reputation of the author who added them:

http://trust.cse.ucsc.edu/
http://enwiki-trust.cse.ucsc.edu/index.php/Special:Random

NB, this is still very experimental, but it seems promising.

Luca de Alfaro, who did most of this work, will also be presenting at Wikimania.
