Interesting suggestion. I suppose eventually it might seem necessary, but I thought the appeal of wikipedia was that it was self-governing. The suggestion seems a bit like what Nupedia does already. Maybe I misunderstand you.
Nupedia is a separate project. A distinct group of entries require knowledge from different fields. I was just thinking how it can be tackled.

A good suggestion, I think, at least until the other wikipedias become self-sufficient. Many of the other wikipedia don't have much in the way of entries. How would it be implemented, though? I'm just leery of suggestions to impose structure on wikipedia.
To propagate appeals for collaboration in special kinds of pages in national wikipedias and in 'Recent Changes' pages on all wikipedias we all read 'Recent Changes' by habit, don't we ?
