Having been on Wikipedia since 2006 but with most of my significant work being described by a handful of "read, read, read, write, write, write -- edit" overhauls or creating new pages, I'm always a little self-conscious when non-Wikipedians ask how many edits I've tallied. Hundreds! OK, probably a thousand but surely not thousands... this is why my user page contains the userbox:
*This user believes that a user's **edit count<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Editcountitis> **does not necessarily reflect on the **value*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_theory> * of their contributions to **Wikipedia*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia> *.* On Fri, Sep 17, 2010 at 7:58 PM, AGK <wiki...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 17 September 2010 22:14, Renata St <renataw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It's really bad for the edit > > count, but that's my personal preference. > > Pfft, who cares about that?
