It would be interesting to see the actual changes. See what JW's are taking down and adding and what gets corrected by the honest ex jws.

That's easy enough to do, EOM. Give yourself an account and log in. Read Talk and History tabs.

The series of JW articles on Wikipedia have actually achieved a state of relative stability. JW editors do pop up from time to time but tend not to stick around. In the end, Wikipedia must rely on verifiable facts sourced from reliable published sources. There are many books and academic papers that provide unbiased, factual, well-researched material on the religion and that's usually enough to counter the attempts to JW zealots to whitewash, distort or delete material that presents the JWs in a less than flattering light.
Several JW editors have also refused to discuss contentious changes with ex-JW editors on the grounds that they cannot communicate with "apostates". This leaves them at a distinct disadvantage in trying to state or defend their case.
I joined the JWs in 1985 when there was very little opportunity to verify Watchtower statements or gain another persepective. Today Wikipedia and websites such as JWFacts provide current or prospective members of the religion with information that helps them see the truth.
