I also think the idea of having a stable locked version is good (I think I posted the idea in another thread), as it stops disruption.
I assume most users of wikipedia just go on to find information, and to see that an article has been 'generally agreed' on will be a positive sign for people to trust that article.
It might be interesting to put a kind of 'was this article helpful' or 'rate this article' thing on, like on MSDN. It might aid the editing of articles and / or be used as part of the 'generally agreed' procedure. Users could add a comment why they dont think it was useful, and if its a valid point the article could be edited.
Good idea.
