grant that. But, as I said, there are occasions where one is

Here's another possibility. Wikipedia Review's "Articles" forum was initially designed to discuss article content in depth, and point out any specific problems in language, structure, sourcing, whathaveyou. It has rarely been used for this purpose, but if and when a user did post another in-depth evaluation, it certainly could be beneficial to point it out on Wikipedia.
How?
Um, so the article could be improved? I'm not talking rocket science here.
Wouldn't an e-mail to a list do an equally good job?
Indeed it would. But if a well-meaning contributor pointed it out on Wikipedia rather than on the mailing list, what would the problem be with that?
Actually, no it wouldn't. The talk pages of articles are intended for community discussion, not simply a discussion with one other editor. Putting editors in a position to have to discuss a Wikipedia editing decision off-wiki is absurd.
