But, by inserting that fact, weren't you also
trying to
discredit that person's opinion as being a "newbie". When
people do this on RfA or AfD, it really annoys me. I
understand if the person is a suspected sock and you are
trying to point them out as such. But, if we are a
community that encourages people to "be bold", why do we
also going around pointing at the newbies?
Very strong agreement with this.
Even worse is the "first to this namespace" bit.
It implies that you have to make 10 delete votes
or something before you are allowed to ask to keep
an article!
The "spends too much time in the article namespace"
criticism seen on RfAdminship is especially baffling to me.
