[...] That is utter nonsense to say that administrators should not base their decisons of that of a user's experience, paticularly in mainspace. This common practice of new editors who have as little as below the 10 edit mark or the like claim "I know what is best for wikipedia" and "I know what the encyclopedia is all about." Such opinions should not be taken seriously.
Nor should they be completely discounted.
Among other things, newbie editors are likely the purest voice we can get from the user community (non-editing readers) as to what they care about.
"What they care about" is not "What we should do" by any means, but it's worth listening to.
