How to Improve Wikipedia

Wikipedia gets a bad rap. Since anyone can edit it, people do. Yet, it's often filled with pretty timely information, faster than real encyclopedias can manage.

But sometimes I want to see what's happened to the page. There should be some way to scrub through the various settings. Perforce (a version control system) has a feature with a horizontal scrollbar, where you can move it across timelines and see the various changes. That feature would be neat, as would a way to play the changes in slideshow format at pause it when you want to see it.

What do you think?
