I think we need to split out versions somewhere else, because we're looking for concise articles, not full encyclopedia articles. Simply marking [[World War II]] as "ready for print" doesn't do anything towards getting us a good one-to-two-paragraph summary of World War II.
Ideal Wikipedia news style would be to have the first section of an article be a concise article in its own right. Then the process of creating a concise version would be as simple as extracting the first section of each article (excluding tables and images).
This is what I try to do with the first para an/or intro of every article I work on.
