a) Change the name of Votes for Deletion to something like Editorial Review.
I like this a lot, as I like the entire process suggested by Dpsmith a lot. It is a step toward greter quality control without being a radical departure from our Wiki norms. I heartily second the entire proposal.

I don't mind the name change, though I don't like: 1-the idea that anybody can remove the tag; and 2-the two-step process. Let's just leave it as the same process, with some name tweaking and some change to the {{vfd}} template that makes it clear that the process is going to last 5 days from X date.

I third the motion. But it would really be nice if there were a way I could say "Gimme a randomly selected article that has never been vetted by anybody who matters." A lot of people working part-time in this mode with a reasonable guarantee of non-duplication of effort could make a big difference.
Deliberately stated so as to emphasize the difficulties, both technical and sociological; but a workable substitute might be possible.
I also support changing the name of VfD to something like Editorial Review. I also would like to be able to customize the random page feature to give me articles written by non logged in users, similar to what I think Dan is suggesting.
