User:Filll/Edit count analysis

As of August 6, 2007, I was number 654 on the The List. As of May 27, 2007, I held position 952 on The List. However, this is somewhat embarassing since other editors like the venerated WillowW have worked on more than twice as many articles as I have, many which are far more complex and intricate, and pushed several articles to FA status, all with much less edits than I have. I must be doing something wrong, I guess.

I compared my edits in some categories with those of some friends here. It is interesting that I have not visited near as many pages as some other people have, even with roughly the same number of edits. DGG has edited over 9000 pages, and I have only worked on 1700 or so as of July 2007. OrangeMarlin has a pattern similar to mine, but WillowW, TimVickers and Silence all have edited 2-3 times as many pages as I have, which I find amazing. DGG spends a LOT more time on WP pages than I do. I edit article talk pages much more than others do, apparently. My ratio of article edits to article talk page edits is much worse than some other people's, although similar to that of OrangeMarlin and Silence. I guess I feel I have to defend certain articles against attack, and so waste too much energy trying to dissuade trolls and vandals from damaging WP.
