Then it should still be toward the newcomer. Actually, I think that the newcomer should have the upper hand unless the Veteran has a LOT more quality edits than the newcomer. Because ToTM isn't just a system of "You did well, here's a thing for you". It's a way of encouraging newcomers to stay here. With an award like that, they'll have a commitment that is "forced" on them, to stay. They've been congratulated for what work they've done here, why not continue? They can advertise this award and say that "I won ToTM in my first month, and now I've had this flair for a year!". I'm not trying to say that this is necessarily the aim of ToTM. I'm saying that it can be other things. Like this is fair at aall True, though the current state of the Wiki warrants what I said.
