Simple technical solution: Each article gets a special counter. After X days, or X edits, or not-minor edits, or X bytes changed, or some combination thereof, the article gets added to a special "review" list. This is for people who like to specialize is style/flow/structure/etc of articles. These can then be reformatted/reworded. Calling it "review" might help to suppress edit wars; after all, this is not because of a special edit, but because some criteria say "this might need restructuring". Also, it is not to remove information, rather to rearrange it into readable form.
Please program this, and create a special page listing articles which need review.
The problem is... how do we "reset" the counter? You'd need to have some way of tagging the article to say "restructured on date X", and I can't offhand think of an easy way to do this.
