Rather than going on a campaign to kill all new articles without
sufficient sourcing, would it be time to introduce article prefilling,
using the <inputbox> extension?
For an example, go to
en.wikinews.org, type something into the "Start
a new article" box and hit "Create article". This example is created
using the wikitext:
<inputbox>
type=create
preload=Template:New_page
editintro=Template:New_article_intro
width=25
bgcolor=#f0f0ff
</inputbox>
Presumably we'd need this switched on for en:wp if it isn't already.
