Hmm. How about using a custom template, as Carl essentially suggested,
and in addition, make sure that this template explicitly states what has
happened and that it will be reviewed in due course. Also append a
suitable category so that it's very easy for volunteers to find and
review these articles.

Is transparency a good-enough solution?
