I think that this could be improved significantly by not showing the state of the current version. For example, when I see a version that is not flagged at all, the option "unapproved" shouldn't show. I believe that makes life easier.
Indeed. This is uneeded redundancy and of course we have to fight the boxes and editoral hint creep in Wikipedia.
While we are at it: In the interface anon people see the "current revision" tab. Therefore the hint to the curent revsion in the quality info box is redundant and can be left out.
A one-liner like in this mockup http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Sighted-version-mockup.png is way better than the current text. It contains all the necessary info an anon reader needs to know. The example interface text in the mockup is in English: "This article version is reviewed. There is a newer not yet reviewed version (diff)."
The quality level icon should be the first element (in my example it is a simple yellow spot), not the last and should not be separated with a newline by default (people can do this in the wiki themselves if they want).
