Yes, I see your point, but you would still be able to see at a glance when it was last checked, and who had edited it since, and make a better determination about whether to bother re-checking it than you can now. I like the idea about being able to quote old versions. Mark

Currently this wouldn't matter as someone could come right after the article was checked and mess it up. I think what might be useful is to have an easy syntax to refer to a certain version. Something like: [[Wikipedia@4613311]] which would expand to
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia&oldid=4613311
or some such. If we really publicised this, then it would also be better for those trying to quote something on Wikipedia without fear that their quote will no longer be in the article. They can do the quoting right now for older versions, but the most recent version doesn't have an oldID attached to it (since it's not old yet).
