For subjects that aren't controversial, the peer reviewing structure of a
university or journal might work.
In general though, a peer review is as good as the credibility of the peer
reviewer. A reference is as good as the credibility of the referencer,etc...
That is the essence of the pagerank algorithm that is used by google to
compute the credibility of an internet page.
The solution to this problem is really easy IMO. Let all articles be forked
and provide a personalized reputation system that will only fetch only one
page per article for every user.

Right. We (Wikipedia) are not qualified to judge if
these original
claims are accurate, reasonable, worthy of consideration, unlikely,
incorrect, or batshit insane.
Attempting to publish novel theories via Wikipedia - no matter how
well supported - is completely the wrong approach. Scientific inquiry
is not a single-handed enterprise. It depends on peer review of
theories and evidence and conclusions. That peer review must be by
qualified peers in the field.

Greetings –
I hope this is a good place to send a weighty message to Wikipedia.
You’ll want to read all through.
I am a scientist who has always liked the Wikipedia idea, and I like
your implementation. Lately I’ve started making contributions.
Although I’m a cognitive scientist who taught biological psychology at
degree level for several years and have done AI research since the
‘80’s, I’ve diverted for a decade or more to resolve a set of major
evolutionary puzzles.
