It already sounds way too complicated to me. The more complicated you make it, the more unintended consequences there are likely to be, the more failure modes there are and the more unwieldy it gets to edit the Wikipedia.
We *want* people to contribute to the Wikipedia, it got where it is today by being incredibly quick and easy to edit.
Adding some review process to the wikipedia, which may never, ever finish?? Why?
I think that there would be user value in having available a human-reviewed WP derivative of some sort.
I see the logical process as being a separate project. It could be a WP project, or another outside project. Not a fork, but a grooming process for articles. All contributions made at WP, versions found to be stable and useful then "promoted" to live on otherPedia.
