Yesterday I dreamt of a "review queue". There's a common situation: I 
check an edit on RC, okay, it's not vandalism, but it smells somehow 
fishy. The problem is, I have no knowledge of the subject (say, it is 
biology). Currently the only, very stony solution is to leave someone I 
know who knows about biology a message on his talk page to please have a 
look at the article. But most people don't do that.

Instead, I could - RC patrol mode switched on in my user pref - select 
in the diff view the biology-queue, and the edit would go in the review 
queue of the biologists where someone checks the edit and removes it 
from the queue (and takes the appropriate measures).

Dunno if that's too complicated, sounds like.

greetings,
elian
