I understand your point, and I already addressed it: If we don't make sure new users abide to the rules of the site, their contributions will join the pile of past contributions that also don't follow the rules. It's a preventive measure.

I additionally mentioned that we have users that focus on older content and clean up unlicensed images and have done a wonderful job at that. It is also easier to focus on new contributions because they appear in the Wiki Activity page, whereas policing old content would require most of the time to actively look for it. You should also be aware that the admin team does polish and improve old content when we stumble into it.

Furthermore, informing new users about the rules is not as time-consuming as you are making it out to be. It simply consists on noticing their contributions in the Wiki Activity, clean them up (or undo them if necessary), inform them of the rules, and hope everything sorts out in the end and we don't have to notify them again or engage in a discussion in which they tell us how to do our job.
