@AtoneTheMage: I'm also not sure how edit count is determined because FANDOM's formula is not a straight-forward addition from what Recent Activity shows in Analytics. The numbers often don't match up and the text says the edit count emerges from several different areas. It may even be that different types of edits have different point values. I'm just supposing here, but there must be a formula because it's not a direct count.

@Andrew ds 1021: Your points are valid. That said, one of things I would suggest is that if points remain (for the reasons you mention) is that multiple edits on a single article be counted as ONE EDIT for that day for that article. This would encourage editors to, perhaps, edit less on a singular day but return on another day to do more editing. This is how some regular editors are developed and isn't developing future editors the whole point of incentives? Plus, it would keep minutia edits from being counted in the same way as substantial edits. Yes, judging quality is subjective, but all judging is subjective, so I say let FANDOM define criteria and let it be known. At least, at that point, it's a transparent process.

That's all I have to say on the matter. I wish all well.
