Are they experts? in my review its "Interesting as it gives insight into how wiki data runs, wiki data is relatively unknown to most." (Even though this reviewer liked my submission but she/he gave me 6, two other ones gave me 9. Basically this reviewer changed status of my submission from accepted to "in reserve") This reviewer doesn't know the difference between "wikidata" and "wiki data" and she/he is reviewing my submission? Last year (and years before) reviewers were prominent contributors among users with huge knowledge around the projects. That's strange to me
