Popular pages also have a lot more peer reviewers than others and it should be encouraged that every user is also reviewer of others' edits, it can't or shouldn't be left for Admins only.

Fair. But on the other hand, we don't have the resources to keep up with all the edits. We're all busy people (I assume given everyone's sluggish responses) and the last thing a lot of us want to do when we get on the wiki is to spend hours of our time correcting other people's mistakes.

Also as long as there are policy pages that need to be updated, and other tweaks and new staff to bring on board, I think locking pages is the best thing to do at least temporarily.

The Expanded History pages, I think should absolutely be locked. In that, other than myself and a few others, almost nobody contributes to an expanded history page, and if someone does it's usually just to copy and paste whatever was put into the main page.

Perhaps the solution is to consider what pages are the top 10 most problematic in regards to the issues we have. We then assign each of the 10 to an admin with a decent knowledge on the subject. They follow that page and can do peer review.

I still like the idea of setting admins up as "champions" of certain subjects. We can update our profiles to reflect this. That way if someone asks us a question we can refer them to the appropriate admin who has the best knowledge base. This way we can also focus on specific things.
