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.
