Johntex's idea is essentially a spinoff of an "approved" version. He essentially proposed that Wikipedia create an additional "tab" people could click on to see the last "approved" version. Everybody can still edit the non-approved version, just as normal. And I guess, taking the idea out to its logical extreme, at intervals the two versiosn would be compared and any new information meshed into the "approved" version. This way everybody can still edit and contribute, but anyone concerned about ensuring the version they're looking at has been vetted thoroughly could simply click on the "approved" tab.

would be in my opinion much more useful than a complicated article validation form anyone can manipulate.
