Each argument should stand on its own accord and on its own merits in Wikipedia discussions. That means the newest editor, with the least edits, may have the best idea or the most relevant point of view. An anonymous IP editor who just began editing the project last week may have the best idea.

Don't let anything like "seniority", edit counts, or Wikipedia status of an editor (awards, Barnstars, years of experience) sway your opinion. If the "experienced" editor has informationknowledge whythat theyleads them to hold a certain position in a discussion, they should be able to convey thatit experiencein andan argument in a way that other editors can make their own judgement basedjudge on thatits experience, and on theown merits of that .

In other words, provide details for the experience and explain your argument, don't just respond with "Because I'm an admin/top editor, so there."
