One of the potential negative consequences of creating
a barrier to
entry is that fewer good people will become editors because they will
have been discouraged from creating a new article.
It is high time that we encourage the improvement of existing articles over adding new
ones that
will need to be maintained. This effort helps to push us in that direction. I hope we will
change
policy again if and when the negatives outweigh the benefits of letting new users create
new
pages. New users and anons cant upload since undoing that is something that only admins
can do.
Creating new pages is also something that only admins can undo. Ergo
