lol it's funny in a sense. Luckily most of my Wikpedia research isn't on controversial topics.
Really the only way to negate these issues is a moderation bin, similar to what forums have the ability to use. Moderate (don't publicly) show edits until a moderator approves the changes. On the gigantic scale of Wikipedia it would take many, many dedicated people but it's really the only way.
Have a zero tolerance policy too, any IP that creates a bogus edit gets banned from editing all articles, period.
On a side note does anything thing actually ever get done at Wikipedia? I cannot tell you how many times I've seen the same articles with same cleanup notices on them, they never change except of course for the bogus edits like Mr. Walton's example above.
