I think that that's true atleast.
I'm coming at the new article issue from the opposite direction.
Isn't the question how we can leverage the editors so that they can
easily remove new, inappropriate articles, rather than trying to stop
people from creating new articles?
And that ties back to visibility. Right now, new articles have low
visibility. That's really bad.
Perhaps we should insist that all new articles be classified in some
way, like the dewey decimal system or something, and allow editors to
see new articles in their favourite classification in their watchlists
or something.
That way, the new articles will appear and immediately get jumped on;
and the pain of policing new articles is distributed across all the
editors as much as possible.
