Non-administrator interventions

I would like to bring up a point about Wikipedia:Requests for permissions it is too often there are very unnecessary (Non-administrator comment)'s It has been suggested that editors be discouraged from making comments such as:

  1. Commenting on the obvious.
  2. Re-commenting on comments already made.
  3. Commenting on stats ie. This editor has only X amount of edits, this editor only has ten edits to the file namespace.

These comments are not needed, they become annoying and the requests become cluttered. Also comments like "this editor does not have enough experience", these are things to be determined by the Admin, and will not be assumed to be correct by an Admin anyway. This does not mean an editor should not post serious issues that might not be readily obvious such as recent controversies with an editor, etc. Nearly all Admin's do their own evaluation before granting a request. The (Non-administrator comment) comments should be held to a very minimum.

As a side note as in "this is my own opinion "Editors who have just themselves received a flag or are new to the project should not be commenting at all.

Overall thoughts?
