''I have over 35,000 edits recorded on Wikipedia. According to [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits]], I am ranked 1,927 in terms of most edits among all registered Wikipedians. I'm not "number 1" but I've done a lot. And I'm wrong a lot.--[[User:Paulmcdonald|Paul McDonald]] ([[User talk:Paulmcdonald|talk]]) 02:04, 19 April 2017 (UTC)''

Each argument should stand on its own accord and on its own merits in Wikipedia discussions. That means the newest editor, with the leastfewest 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 knowledge that leads them to hold a certain position in a discussion, they should be able to convey it in an argument that other editors can judge on its own merits.
