No never, Editors who are unfamiliar with a topic should never have any input to say this is good this is bad, I will search google etc....
That's a harsh criterion. Who decides whether someone is unfamiliar with the subject.
The article's owner, of course.
and now I am agreeing with ownership issues? my point was about familiarity with an article subject. I would never edit an article about physics because I would not know where to begin. Likewise with manga pokemon shotacom anime. My attempt at editing a page on any subject I was unfamiliar with, as Yury said before would be tantamount to vandalism.
The "normal" editor is more likely to act in a self-limiting way on these without a need for more rules. We can still go into unfamiliar territory to fix spelling or grammar. If people who don't know what they are talking about begin to dominate articles, then our problems are worse than I might have imagined.
