Just thinking off the top of my head here, but how about you have a
bot/script check a page or the first x characters of a page, do a checksum,
and then just revisit it occasionally, perform the checksum, if it's
different or 404s then report it for a quick manual check, if it's approved
then store the new checksum, and (to continue a theme), Bob's your
next-door-neighbours mate.
