That's quite a long document. You could point out the specific bits

That's completely different. Everyone knows (or can be reasonably
expected to know, anyway) that when they edit a page their username or
IP address, the time and date and what they edited will be stored and
made publicly available. We're just talking about making that publicly
available information available in a different way. I'm pretty sure
the UK's privacy laws don't forbid that, although I don't doubt what
people have said about German law.
