Yes, I see your point, but you would still be able to
see at a glance when it was last checked, and who had
edited it since, and make a better determination about
whether to bother re-checking it than you can now.
I like the idea about being able to quote old
versions.

Currently this wouldn't matter as someone could come
right after the
article was checked and mess it up. I think what
might be useful is to
have an easy syntax to refer to a certain version.
Something like:
[[Wikipedia@4613311]] which would expand to
or
some such. If we really publicised this, then it
would also be better
for those trying to quote something on Wikipedia
without fear that
their quote will no longer be in the article. They
can do the quoting
right now for older versions, but the most recent
version doesn't have
an oldID attached to it (since it's not old yet).
