True, so we'd still need an element of coordination.

An hour would not be long enough for me to see a review request and act on it 
in most cases.

I don't think I've ever actually put up one of these short articles so I don't 
really have a basis for saying that the review process would be slow. Probably 
my first point about just having other things to do than write these small 
articles is more of a blocker for me.

So how about if Troy and others want to write small articles to things on 
other sites they do so and we see how it works under the existing rules. Then 
if there is a problem we can decide how to deal with it.
