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.

English varieties and other things

Hello, thanks for your copyedits at French Polynesia. However, please don't change English varieties per the relevant guidelines. Graham87 04:59, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Also, don't put hatnotes on already-disambiguated pages, as you did at Rachel Nichols (actress) and Rachel Nichols (journalist), or link to anchors, as you did at Teak, unless absolutely necessary. Graham87 09:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
