8. Looks like pretty innocuous stuff.
TV shows, history articles, football stadiums. My guess is that most of this is employees goofing around during their lunch breaks. I diff'ed a bunch of them and didn't see anything objectionable. Of course, I only hit about 20 of them, and there are hundreds of edits there.

Keep in mind that, in an enterprise network like that, you may have thousands of users who appear to come from a single IP address (typically the outside gateway). While there are lots of nogoodniks at the DOJ, you also have computer geeks, secretaries, and other run of the mill employees who may be using it for far less nefarious purposes. With thousands of employees, I'm not exactly shocked that a few of them may be Wikipedia contributors.

I'll bet they're all going to get called to the carpet for it though.
