What would be ideal is if we could establish a content-area (i.e., WikiProject) peer review as a prerequisite for the purposes of content (esp. for technical articles) then have it go to a "Brilliant Prose Committee" of qualified persons (e.g., people with actual degrees or a lot of experience) to evaluate the writing style, the readibility, the grammar, etc. But that borders on instruction creep and would be strongly opposed as it creates an elite class distinction and would knock out all the lovely people who derive meaning in life from firing torpedoes at FACs.
You have suggested a committee. Generaly that isn't a good sign.
In particular, a committee won't scale to 100,000. What will?
