Not if done carefully, I think. It may kill the main attraction to vandals and POV pushers, but that'd be a good thing. :)
Try thinking away from high profile articles. Lets consider say [[Biaxial nematic]] which other than the problem that it doesn't appear to be writen in english is a fairly middle of the road low profile article.
It is also the top result on google for Biaxial nematic. At the moment we have rather a nice motivator for people to add stuff to it. Add stuff and it will be the top hit on google. People will see it. If you instead say add stuff and people may see it if and when a reviewer gets round to looking at it (which will be a while since the number of people we have who understand the subject is probably somewhat limited) you have lost that motivation.
