My one complaint is that the frame for the game seemed quite slow compared to normal scrolling on Wikipedia (Just checked and yes there is a noticeable lag in scrolling in Chrome on Windows). This is some what frustrating in a game designed for speed!
It would be nice to see the active players list on the home page too (I would have started a lot faster and with less hesitation had I known X amount of people were playing just then).
Have fun!
(Why, no, that isn't a directed graph of wikipedia articles and a BFS implementation behind my back.)

It's one of these concepts that keeps poping up independently at many places (there used to be edit wars at Wikipedia pages about manual versions of this game with many people claiming they invented it :).
I did one myself long ago:
It was one of the first and it got pretty popular for a brief period of time.
The trouble with such sites is that you have to babysit them because they will get broken when Wikipedia changes.
To get scores, we'd take all of the edits for each account and multiply the brazenness/funniness of the edit by the number of pageviews you got before the edit was reversed.
The game ends when you get banned.

I'd simplify the page, and make it obvious! Good luck.
Got any feedback? Thanks.
