If I were running Citizendium, I would relax the user registration rules a little bit while still requiring user registration. I would also adopt a copyright scheme that allows Citizendium to freely copy over content from Wikipedia. I would then launch a campaign aimed at copying over the 100,000 best articles from Wikipedia and editing them to meet Citizendium's quality standards. Once that was completed, I would go for the next 100,000 articles, and so on until Citizendium had enough content to rival WIkipedia for actual usefulness, while also providing higher quality.
Except the first sentence, and that the editing happens on Wikipedia, you just described Veropedia.
