Yeah, this is really a great thing! Just remember not to communicate, in a way, that "at last, we have a peer reviewed Wikipedia article!".. . I have myself had twho scientific articles peer reviewed for Scientific periodicals, and know very well that this is quite a process.
But then we also have the kind of articles that have not been formally peer reviewed in that sense, but are still Wikipedia-peer reviewed and of extraordinary standard.
In 2010, PhD / psychiatrist Øystein Eiring wrote a large number of medical articles to Norwegian Wikipedia.
One example is the entry on Schizofrenia
http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizofreni
It was started by many writers, including doctors "Reodor" and "Sigve", both physicians. With Dr Eiring the article (and many others) got a serious Scientific boost and has 217 References. It has had 156 different contributors, and the Three mentioned doctors have both changed each others' contributors and had their own wordings changed. As much as 3,5 KB of doctor "Sigve"'s text, has been removed or changed.
This is the wonderful beauty of Wikipedia peer review!

Congratulations!
A great model that could be emulated by many of us across other disciplines too.
Cheers, Vishnu

Article published by the journal Open Medicine http://www.openmedicine.ca/article/viewFile/562/564
Will soon be pubmed indexed. Editorial regarding the efforts are here http://www.openmedicine.ca/article/view/652/565
Hope these sorts of efforts will improve the reputation of Wikipedia and the number of contributors. I guess we will see.
