What I'm thinking in particular
is that some FACs would benefit from what is essentially an *external* peer review process (as opposed to the internal peer review and other review processes). i.e. Actively soliciting reviews from those holding credentials (academic or otherwise) in the topic area. Historically, given the "anyone an edit" and (mostly) pseudonymous nature of editing, there hasn't been much interest in this model of reviewing, but I'd be interested to see reactions to this.
Some medical FAs had the benefit of external peer review (coeliac disease, subarachnoid hemorrhage), but as always it depends on someone outside Wikipedia to take an interest. The quality, depth and timeliness of the peer review is largely dependant on that.
