I am completely disconnected from Wikipedia - I do use MediaWiki for small projects. However, wasn't there FlaggedRevs deployed at Wikipedia for some time already? If so, how can Google (which should index pages as anonymous), recieves vandalized pages instead of approved revisions? Only registered users should see vandalism by default.
Not all pages have flaggedrevs enabled.
For the thread problem, I don't think there's much to do here. If google wants to spider us faster, or use the commercial RC feed, so be it. They are catching fast vandalism, so they should catch the corrections fast, too.
