What makes you think either that the current system is
creating mediocrity, or that the proposed review board
would be better? It seems that what is being proposed
is removing the value added of an open content
encyclopedia, and would be damaging for that reason.

I very much hope this does not happen. Setting
up
'expert reviews' would be the death of the
project.
But the goal of the project is to create the largest
free resource of knowledge
that has ever existed. Wiki is a means to that end.
So if some aspects of that
process start to result in a drive toward mediocre
content, then we *must* make
some changes to put us back on track.
Adding some type of article review system that could
scale to cover a large
part of our content would be a massive improvement.
Experts should have seats
on those review boards, but so should non-experts.
Neither the views of experts
or non-experts would carry more weight - both would
be equal (the consensus
view of the board itself is what would count).
