If I were running Citizendium, I would relax the user

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.
