Most articles belong to a Wikiproject (or can be given to one with a little tagging), and if a wikiproject is even semiactive it will have people with specialist knowledge. So I'd suggest if you need help on an article, post a query on the relevant WikiProject page. And if there isn't a Wikiproject tag already on the talkpage feel free to add one that seems relevant.
Alternatively put a query on the talkpages of people who've edited the article or relevant related ones. SoFixIt doesn't always work, sometimes it helps to seek out experts, but in my experience such people appreciate a query that is relevant to their expertise. That's why IMHO the content noticeboard and similar overcentralised mechanisms won't work. Patience also helps, not every expert will be here every month.
