Wikipedia editor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Howdy, I am J04n (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) (real name John). I have lately been spending my Wikitime simply tidying things up. Feel free to drop me a line about anything especially if I made a mistake, if you disagree with any of my edits, or if you simply disagree with my Wikiphilosophy. As to what my Wikiphilosophy is...I'm not sure, but if you perceive it as something you are probably partly correct. Lastly, but most importantly, if there is anything that I can help you with I would be more than happy to, just drop me a line.

Tip of the day...
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.
