I find the title and article a bit misleading. Like "companies" dont edit wikipedia, usually it's a random dude forgetting to log with his phone to correct spelling, a gross mistake when he was reading his CEOs life or vandalism.
I'm not sure why this project stopped at the obvious: it should go further and find "negative" edits that are beyond spelling, fact checking or general updates.

Granted, majority of the edits are non-malicious in nature but finding controversial edits automatically is really hard, and the goal of the tool would actually be to aid people in finding them.
