Editcountitis

Editcountitis, obsessive edit-counting disorder (OECD), is the mistaken belief that a Wikipedian's overall contribution level can be measured solely by their edit count. This is a phenomenon which some think may be harmful to processes such as requests for adminship, as well as to the Wikipedia community in itself.

The problems with using edit counts to measure relative level of experience are that it does not take into account a user's edit history prior to registering an account (posting anonymously), and that major and minor edits are counted equally, regardless of whether the edit is a typo fix or the creation of a full article. And edit counts give no consideration to the quality of the edits made.

Tip of the moment...
Making the editbox more visually pleasing

Do you know the CC BY-SA/GFDL License inside-out, and have thousands of edits to your credit? Are all those copyright disclaimer warnings starting to bug you? Add this to your (pick one): vector.css (default), monobook.css, modern.css, minerva.css Skin (or add it to your common.css to hit all your skins):

/* Remove to-me-useless notes in all edit boxes. leaves only the command buttons and special chars. */
#editpage-copywarn { display: none; }
#editpage-copywarn1 { display: none; }
#editpage-copywarn2 { display: none; }
#editpage-copywarn3 { display: none; }
div.editpage-head-copywarn { display: none; }
