I suppose I'm not really sure what this will buy us. It only takes away
the class of problems: "page doesn't exist, anon creats a bad one".
These are actually among the easiest to spot. Much harder are: "page
exists as a stub, anon adds a sentence to it that is bad". These are
harder to spot, and this does not address that; in fact, it will
encourage troublesome anons to just find existing articles to put
misinformation into, rather than creating new ones. I think, on the
whole, that would be *more* of a problem.
