Yeah, I did some back of the envelope calculations on this yesterday - approximately 4 million edits to Wikipedia a month, 4% of which end up being vandalism of some sort.
That ends up being approximately 160,000 instances of vandalism a month if you don't mind my hand-wavey oversimplification.
The median time to revert a vandalized article is 14 minutes.
I guess the question is "how many vandalized articles are in an average snapshot?" instead of "are there any vandalized articles?".
