Recoloring is a standard starting point, and we've all been there before, but that doesn't make it right. We shouldn't just stand by and be all like "oh he's new, it's fine." We should guide them away from it and help them get on track sooner rather than wait until they run into less kind people to call them out on it later.

We don't have to be super strict about it. After all, we should be guiding the people, not forcing them.

As for the cleanup crew, I think they've already done their job as well as they could have. Need I remind you that, since we first started the wiki cleanup, we've already deleted more than 6,000 pages? New articles being created is not a bad thing. Instead of marking them down as soon as something sub-par shows up, we should try to help improve it so that it can stay. There's no need to try and cut down on the amount of pages on this wiki anymore. If something goes by without meeting standards for a long time, like say a week or so, then you can go ahead and mark it down.
