But what would the quarantine involve?  Can people who aren't logged
in see articles in quarantine?  Who can edit articles in quarantine?
Who can delete them?  Who can take them out of quarantine?

My own thoughts on this suggest that it'd be enough to just stick a
big "WARNING: THIS WAS CREATED BY AN ANON" on the top of such articles
for a while, and keep them out of google searches.

But maybe you and certainly others see quarantine as something different.
