Is it sufficient to unpublish the article when the user edited the article? Or does the revision have been unpublished only but the article should remain published? I think you need a workflow extension for it. Joomla, especially 2.5, doesn't come with this functionality out of the box. - Laoneo

I don't believe this is possible in core functionality without unpublishing the article first, which I assume you don't want to do. You could duplicate the article (save as copy), revise as an unpublished draft and then swap articles after sign off, but it's not a particularly slick workflow.
