Heck, let them do it through an article validation feature.
Open question:
- How is the validation feature supposed to work?
- How is it to be refined?
- How is the data to be used and processed?
- How is such data going to be reinput to work on the
wiki to produce results?

some predictions and some comments that relate to above;
1) the current validate feature is a prototype design. Once it is turned on it will be played with, improved, revised and redesigned several times before being used for its intended purpose. Turning on the feature will help this process move forward.
2) Wikipedia needs a way to identify article versions that are high quality and vetted, possible as part of a release system, or something similiar. Reliability is one of our biggest problems. If we don't address this someone else will. A validation feature if a good first step.
