Would it be difficult to have two options at the bottom of the
page: "Watch this article forever", and "Watch this article for two
weeks"?

watchlist entries after a certain
default period (unless you make an edit in that
period) may also help (but also has some screwup
potential).
It does, yes. Some of the articles I watch are
infrequently edited, but if someone comes along and
vandalizes them or inserts blatant POV, I want to be
sure to see it. As far as the vandalism goes, it may
come as a shock to some, but not every vandalism is
caught--I recently found a country page that had been
vandalized nearly two months earlier.
