We need to stop trying to craft general solutions to all articles and start realizing that articles develop in different orders and on different paths. Solutions that fix a problem we're seeing in one
It's a hell of a lot easier to tell a newbie "every article must be sourced" than anything more nuanced. And easier for them to understand.
Which isn't to say that we couldn't operate different rules for newbies than for established users. But I don't see how we can suddenly start telling newbies that unsourced articles are ok, even if it's only "sometimes ok".
