What about a 'web-of-trust', whereby /all/ registered users can 'approve' or 'reject' a version of an article, and every registered user can select any number of 'trusted registered users', and thereby articles appear 'approved', 'rejected' or 'undetermined', according to the settings of 'trusted users'.

Then it is up to every individual to select the 'sifting agency', so to speak.
